nc ficdScot Jay iil tES lCOtDdii HISTORY
ofthe Pacific Northwest is at hand. and
before night Madison park will witness
the triumph of the white and blue of Sc
attic or the red and white of Portland. 1t
will be fight for the championship be-
tween two teams that are on their mettle
and whose best efforts will be called forth
by the frenzied shouts of appauding
throngs of spectators. Although the con-
tngent that will cheer for Portland will
be but small portion of the crowd it will
be very demonstrative one. There will
be hundreds Of yards of red and white
waving in the air and vigorous lungs to
shout the war cry:
Rah-rahi Rah-rahl Multnomsh,
If indications are to be relied upon the
display of white and blue, to which the
greater portion of the crowd will pin its
faith, will be enormous. The cry will be:

Seattle,
The Multnomahs reached the city yes
terday at $50 p. N. over the Northern Pa
cihc. The were met at the depot by the
local reception committee and escorted to
the Grand hotel, which is Portland's head
quarters. They are fine looking lot of
athletes. and seem likely TO cut out some
hard work for the Seattle team. The most
observed figure of the party was Savage,
the young giant who plays right guard.
He stands 6 feet inches and weig his pa
pounds in his football clothes. He is a
magnificent specimen of manhood, and
appears capable of verifying the stories
that are told of his proves. At 8 o'clock
the men were hustled off to bed by Man
ager Montgomery.
About 125 of its admirers accompanied
the Portland team. and they were re-en-
forced by another party Of "rooters" that
came in on the midnight train A COM
pany Of $50 Is expected from Tacoma this
morning to take in the game. There
was liberal display of red and white
rosettes in the lobby of the Grand last
night by the Portland delegation, which
is nothing If not loyal. Their particular
pride is fierce looking brindle bulldog,
which has as custodians two small coored
youths. All three will be gorgeously ar
rayed in the MuItnomah colors today,
and taken TO the field OF battle to put forth
their influence as mascots.
