(By the As sociated Press) Having tasted defeat in winter sports, opening features of the 124 Olympic, America is now fo cusing increased attention on prepa rations for the coming tests of speed, skill and brawn in France in the spring and summer. The next International tests do not conic until May and June, when this country will send representatives to compete in soccer, football, polo, tar get shooting, shotgun matches and fencing, but increased interest cen tered in the formation of the team of about 350 athletes which wilt seek' to retain Uncle Sam's supremacy In the track and field sports in July. The 11124 menace to this country's hitherto well established superiority In track blue ribbon ' Olympic feature has been emphasized, in the opinion of observers here, by the decisive, tri umph of Norway and Finland in the winter sports. Experts recognize that our Scondlnavlan rivals were aided by natural aptitude for, and experience In ihe cold weather gumee, but theyj point out that the results demonstrate the thoroughness with which these countries are going about their Olym pic efforts.- This intensive prepara tion, amounting to more of a national program than in this country, is ex pected to result In bitter competition for honors than ever before. Finland, it is generally recognized, will be this country's most formid able rival in track and field contests. Northern European countries, which also includes Sweden and Es thonla, have a wealth of promising material. . The Finns, who captured nine first places, In' 1920 at Antwerp, as many as Uncle Sam's stars collect ed, will send an even stronger array to Paris, headed by Paavo Nurml, Willie Kitola, Hanne Kolchmainen, and other, whose prowess Is almost as well known here as it is abroad. In Elvln Wide, Sweden has a dis tance star nearly equal in caliber to Nurml, the world's record holder at a mile, while Norway possesses in Charles Hoff one of the greatest all around athletes of the present day. Hoff is the world's pole vaulter rec ord holder besides being a star jumper and runner. Butter PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 7. Poultry steady.

" Sam Clapham of England threw Gus Schneldau of this city1 last night at the Atl.IntIn In O .!.... 1... n .1 1 ' niiiluill. I.IIIIJ ill 04 flilllllies, Uy ttUHIUl- !stering punishing headlocks, that wore the local man down to a state of help lesnoss. Schneidnu put up a game bat tle, hut was in a dazed condition, after coming out from under a terrific strug gle, with his head in a vise-like grip. He tottered against the ropes and the fans commenced to yell for the leferee to stop the contest. Schneldau was stretched out on hid back, and his opponent commenced to apply first aid methods. Dr. Thayer being called from the ringside to give medical aid if necessary, but Schnel dau regained his wind in a short time and Clapham was declared the winner. The winner then made . a short speech in which he said he had no in tention of hurting Schneldau, and hoped the crowd bore Mm no ill will. The crowd assured him such was not the case. ' A small crowd saw the match. The battery - dealers of southern Oregon have at last followed the rest of the Pacific coast battery firms In making a charge of 25 cents for bat tery testing and filling. It seems that praetlcally In every other section of the country this charge for battery service lias been made and the newly organized association of battery firms have found It necessary to follow in their footsteps. The slogan adopted by local dealers Is "A service fairly rendered nnd fairly charged for is as truly a service as though it were given free." ; The dealers want it to be distinctly understood that this action is by no means drastic, as the charge for ser vice has nlready been in vogue for some time In practically every other city on the coast as well as In the east, and the decision of the local dealers simply makes the practice universal. AC best, the charge can hardly pay the cost of the necessary overhead and not even In the case of the smullest stations will It represent a profit. ' TEACHER ON TRIAL The Screen PORTLAND. Ore., Feb. 7. The trial of Alys Mae Brown, teacher of classic dancing charged with contri buting to the dependency of a minor by allowing a young girl to dance at a Hallowe'en party in a public dance hall, without first obtaining a per mit, opened here today in the court of domestic relations. The selection of a Jury was expected to occupy most of the day. The court proceedings were marked by many verbal battles between the court and attorneys for the state and the defense. Salomy Jnm Tomorrow Bret Harte's stories of California life In the golden age of the poppy state, are classics which long have enjoyed world-wide popularity. Many of them have been screened, but none contnlns more human qualities, or keener analyses of the quaint char acters of the gold mining camps of '49 than "fialomy Jane," which opens a two days' run -at the Hialto. theatre tomorrow. The play of the same name by Paul Armstrong, was highly successful. I "The Gold Diggers' closes tonight at the Itialto theatre. The picture closely follows the Bel asco stage play of the same name from which it was adapted, and the plottingH of the "gold diggers" are morous aspects. REMAINS IN BED WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.
