By Sportsman.
It is aulte remarkable' the amount of
interest that hag been evinced in wrpBt-
llng, both amateur and professional, this
year, and wnue it would naturally ne
supposed that the splendid weather
tha the northwest is enjoying would
call DeoDle to the big outdoors, the in
terest in the mat game ha been so
keenly aroused that sport followers are
demanding that the season be extended.
The matches tn which U'conneii nas
participated ! of course easily account
for the continued interest, and now that
Young; Hackenechmldt and Koller are
to appear before the Portland public,
the interest is Increased. These pro
fessional matches between O'Connell
and Joe Vhrlacher. the middleweight.
Th mt win herin .h.rnW ..land two husky giants, such as the
7:80,' and is expected to be completed by
II o'clock, or a little sooner. The offl
. lals have all been chosen and the pro
gram arranged, so as to avoid as many
conflicts as possible, and the events will
be pulled off promptly in their order.
The winners of first and second places
are to be presented with handsome med-
als. and the team winning the relay
race is to receive a beautiful cup. A
special feature of the meet will be the
contests of the companies of the Oregon

sport followers with all the thrills that
they could possibly desire. The ama
teur game has not been overshadowed
bv the professional contests. While
there is always a strong following that
attaches Itself to the champion and his
contests, the uncertainty of amateur
eompetitlons and the constant develop
ment of new men appeals to many
sport followers.
- It may seem like a small thing to
conduct a single athletic meet between
two of the representative c&Ueees of
the northwest, yet the very fact of
starting a splendid sport may result In
big things that eventually become Im
portant to college athletic activities.
The Oregon Agricultural college, by
Initiating wrestling and taking the re
sponsibility of bringing on the wrestlers
from a sister college hundreds of miles
away for a competition, succeeded In
arousing an interest in this sport that
will doubtless result in the organiza
tion of an intercollegiate wrestling as
sociation In another year.

The Beavers' victory over the Ever
green team from Pullman was a splen

Mr. O'Connell. It was another feather
In the cap of this shrewd developer
of elever wrestlers. He merely re
peated In the northwest those thlntrs
that made him the most formidable In
structor of college men on the mat
connected with any eastern educational
institution. Hia record while at Yale
of winning, the Intercollegiate for four
consecutive years and turning out a
victorious team for 31 dual meets was
unprecedented and it Is doubtful if it'
ever can be equaled.
O. A. C. profited by his skilled in
struction and long experience and
turned out a team that was a credit

their Institution. The Multnomah club)

Multnomah wrestlers have been con

years, and have had much more experi

more decisive than the victory gained
hr the O. A. C. boys. In both cases
W. S. C. was defeated In five of the. six
bouts, therefore it looks on paper as
though the O. A. C. would at least
give the Multnomah wrestlers a good

spite of their youth and their other
handirans thpv have done remarkablv
well during tife years that they have
competed In the regatta. This year the
crews win be Pennsylvania, Syracuse,
Cornell, Wisconsin and Columbia. It
seems rather too bad that, the navy
cannot again participate in the classic
event. Two years ago Annapolis sent
her crew and It added much to the pier
turesqueness of the training period on
the Hudson. Instead of living in the
noteis on snore, as aid most or the
crews, Uncle Sam sent a aunboat to
care tor the youthful oarsmen. The re
gatta that year was one of. the finest
ever seon on the Hudson, with seven
crews competing; for the greatest of
aquatic honors.
Yala and Harvard at Sbiladelpbla.
It sfeems more or less of a shame
from the standpoint of a sportsman
that Yale and Harvard do not drop
their little two handed game and send
their crews to. Poughkeepsie. It al
ways seems from the standpoint of an
unprejudiced critic that it would be
better for - the interests bf sport, and
less indicative of snobbishness if they
would enter In with the rest of the
colleges and nelp to make -the Pough
keepale regatta the biggest possible
thing- In water sports. When two crews
race there 'is always the possibility
that the race will be spoiled by somo
Occident. This was true last year when
Oris wold of , Yale callapsed ,and ffrom
the standpoint of a real race the event
was completely spoiled. Thus, the
thousands of people who had come with
the expectation of seeing the race were
disappointed. f ,
- This condition Is impossible fit Paugh
keepsie where 'there are enough crews
so that even If one man or more should
by any accident be disabled, ' the race
would still be on and there would be
competition to the finish. In fact, last
year a condition of this kind did arise
when No. in the Wisconsin boat
caught a crab and was struck by the
heel of the oar and became unconscious.
At the time Wisconsin was in the lead
and doubtless would have won the race,
and while It was too bad that their
chances should go by the board In this
unforeseen manner, the spectators were
not sdiSaDDointed In seeinsr a snlonrilri
finish (as there were five other crews to
compete to the end.

M. Coppinger Secured for
Season Portland Has the
Best Playing Grounds
M. Coppinger, a well known profes
sional coach, wBo coached the Liverpool
Cricket club in England for two years,
and who was last year coach of the Van
couver, B. C, cricket ciud, has been se
cured to coach the Portland Cricket club
this season. It was mainly through his
efforts that Victoria won the Pacific
coast championship last year.
The ciud now has 45 new members.
and will start the season of 1909 wltn
prospects of a splendid year. The club
has taken a decided impetus this year.
largely through the efforts of Presl-
Hont fharlnfa I i 1 u lr 1 n v" Jtr mlrlAV i
one of the most enthusiastic cricketers
and a very generous supporter of the
club. '
During the' winter months a consider
able amount of work has been done in
getting the grounds tn perfect condi
tion, and Coach Coppinger gives it as his
opinion that the Portland club will with
out doubt have the best playing grounds
in this section of the country. This is
mainly due to the untiring efforts of
the captain, E. Fenwlck.
The club grounds are situated i at
North Mount Tabor, two blocks from the
Montavllla car line. All interested Jn
the national game of England will no
doubt be cordially -welcomed by the
members. Practically all of last year's
team are again available,' and with the
assistance of several promising players
among the new members the team
should be materially strengthened ,
Dates are now being arranged for a
number of matches, and the club expects
to be visited by stron teams from Vic
toria and Vancouver, B. C, Seattle and
Tacoma, and for the first time in many
years a team from California will bo
here to compete with the Portland
eleven, The annual tournament will be
held this year in Vancouver, B. C. ' Port
land will be aole to send a stronger
team than ever before, and there has
already developed a great- keenness
among the members to obtain places on
the team. - -
Practice has already started,- and pre
liminary matches will commence the
first week in April. During this season,
as last, there will be three elevens se
lected from the members, who wll take
part In matches every Saturday after

Ban Antonio has a faat young player lstaff down, for the boys are all showing,
h has nromlsed to let them out a
few notches during the next few; days
and ttiey are eagerly awaiting the time
when they can get off on the high speed.
The game today gave a line on some
of the hoys but It is as yet too early
to judge them well as they ara for' the
most part still without an eye to judge
the long ones to the garden and the hot
ones from the box. This will come with
time and the hopefuls' are certainly
knocking the rough edges off of their
form. ' ' . '
The players are slow In reporting and
this is arlvlhg Casey his tirst case of
the dumps. Every train is met with a
great djeal of eagerness by the Port
land manager but so far he has been
disappointed for the most part In
boys now in the training camp are::-
Pitchers Gardner, Ames, Coleman,
McFarlane, Osbourne, Pender.
Catchers St. John,- Harrlgan. Toech.
Infield Risley, Mullen, Casey. ; .
Outfield Swanton, Basaey.
Rex Amies of Chicago will In all prob
ability be retained on the pay roll and
looks like he will be able to hold Ids
own on Casey's pitching staff. The
boy is light but uses his head, body and
arm alike. Ho will compare favorably
with Jess Garrett. Ho smoked a few
over once or twice today and was there
with the roods. He la aulet and un
assuming and will prove a favorite with
both teammates and Tans, if someming
unexpected does not develop.
Gardner will remind the Portland
fans of Bohbv Groom. He has a fast
ball and makes use of his side arm. The
boy Is swatting them on the nose no
matter how hot thev come.
McFarlane, Osbourn, Pender and Cole
man are all working out well and are
standing the gaff In rather good shape.
However. Casev will nrobablv depend
on Ktnsella.to do most of his twirling.
Pender is -getting Into shape and can
control his throws better than aome of,
the others, though McFarlane -has a
