J Wednesday noon, "Pasha," sit ting in solitary splendor in the rear seat of a large black touring car, driven by J. H. Schmidtt, of Portland, the j owner of the dog, drew up at the curb in front of a local restaurant. Not until Mr. Schmidtt had returned from the restaurant, and placed the lunch eon of bread and butter, and fried beef steak, on the ground beside the car, did '"Pasha" deign to de scend from his seat, even then, it was plainly manifested by the taken, that he was with life.

A return match: has been ar ranged between Robin Reed, wel terweight champion of the Pacific .i - coast and Johhnie Maurus : of Oakland in the armory at Albany Friday night! to decide the bone- twister to retain the title. S Read and Maurus recently went jcogether at Albany for one of the classiest bits of wrestling that local fans1 ever have been privileged to see. Reed wrested the crown from Maurus in a fall with a double wrist lock. So fast was the match, it is stated, that I wrestling fans were unable to determine some of the holds used. The" same kind of a return match is promised for the coming Friday evening. i: , Robin i Reed attracted , nation wide interest when he- captured the World's Olympic wrestling title at Paris last year, and ac claimed the paramount of amateur wrestlers. After his return to the United States he entered the professional game and at present is wrestling instructor at the Ore gon Agricultural college, i : ' , The last match at Albany was one of the best local fans have witnessed and the American Le gion committee have secured lar ger quarters for the return match. It is expected that the crowds will be cared for at this time. At the last match over 500 people watched ' the two 1- human lightening holts strike at each other for a solid hour and 40 minutes. So fast did Reed and Maurus exchange holds that ' the wisest of the fans could not keep track of them; Reed 'was for the most part the aggressor, and from the indicationsrher will take the initiative in: Frfgay night's battle. - Reed and JTaimis are consider ed" the only. twd-menTon f the Pa cific coast who -are contendere for the welterwefght titier Previous to their former match Reed was considered , the only ; man worthy td TcOntend ;for- the title and he demonstrated: his skill. f v.'

Afterj tnis injury he was taken to a Portland dog hos pital and left by bis master who had to continue on the circuit minus his famous dog. For many months it was feared thai. the dog would ; not recover from the in juries sustained in bis fall, and when he finally did begin to Im prove it became evident that h:s days as a performer were, over, lie was sold to Mr. Schmidtt, for the sum of $80, which barely covered his hospital bill. Mr. Schmidtt has entered the dog in several dog shows, with splendid success, but is not attached to the dog alone because of that. He says that he has a little daughter who is just the : same age as "Pasha" and that the two are al most inseparable friends. On be ing asked hs destination, Mr. Schmidtt said: ; - j i Oh, we have Just been to Eugene for a ride. I We are go ing back to Portland now." At about this juncture in the conversation. "Pasha" decided that he had eaten j all that he cared for, and with stern dignity, resumed his position of honor in the rear seat. and, with absolute indifference to the crowd around him, awaited the: pleasure of his driver.
