BUZUKOS REFUSES
TO MEET O'CONNEtl

Maybe Peter Buzukos has been
chasing Eddie O'Connell all over the
northwest, as he says. but it's sure
thing he preferred a chase to a fight
for when he had a chance to meet
his long-pursued Cd quarry in a bat.
tie for supremacy, he deliberately re-
fused the chance, thereby earning for
himself certain oiious and unenvi-
able title. When the time for the
much heralded bout was reached yes
terday afternoon and the Greek wrest-
Ter saw but a small crowd at hand
to witness his attempt to capture the
welterweight championship, he refus-
ed absolutely to go on, despite the
angry protests of those who had
worked up the match.
Had 1t not have been for the game
ness Of the Portland man in declaring
his willingness to meet any man In
the house and the promptness of Ed
Alho, a Finnish wrestler, in taking
up the challenge, the audience would
have been forced to call for its money
back. AS 1t was they watched
splendid bout between the two men,
a bout won by O'Connell only after
nearly an hour of strenuous work. He
succeeded in pinning the shoulders
of the heavier Fin to the mat the
first time in 80 minutes and secured
a second fall in fifteen minutes.
However. the defeated man proved a
worthy opponent. evidencing clev-
erness and expert knowledge of the
game which won him much applause
Buzukos' attitude yesterday proved
that he is either an -and-out
'quitter' or a mighty poor sport one
who wrestles not from any love OF
the game but only for the cash 1t
brings him. The declaration that a
match between himself and O'Connell
would draw a 500 house in Portland
and that he could not afford to throw
away such an opportunity for the
small receipts yesterday proves con-
clusively that he has not the conf
dence he has asserted, for had he
won from the Multnomah instructor
Yesterday, a return bout in Portland
would have been easy to arrange. on
the other hand, the willingness OF
O'Connell made an admirer of every
one in the house and showed him q
man worthy to wear the laurels OF
champion.
One of the regreitable features OF
the affair was the failure of the pro
moter to require the Greek to pos
forfeit money before the bout. Ger
tainly a man who makes a 231 mile
jump to fulfill his part of an agree
ment is entitled to that protection.

The usual holiday aftermath was
enacted in the police court this morn

seat Eleven cases of too hilarious
celebration of Christmas were on the
docket. Ed Peters and Jim Dupuis
were charged with fighting and each
fined five dollars. Dupuis paid his
own and then, to show that he has the
spirit of the season, he paid the fine
of his opponent also. Phil Nebergali
paid eigt dollars for being drunk ana
disorderly, while Annie Chapman,
Sam Gerton, Earl Hundy and Arthur
Tissell each handed over five spot
for indulging too much in liquid
spirits. Four others went to Jail be-

Wheat Market Rather Quiet.

Though a message from Portland
today indicates an unusual demand
fer wheat, there is nothing out of the
ordinary in the local market, accord
ing to local buyers. Some wheat is
changing hands but there is no spec
ial demand for any except first grade
milling wheat which is scarce. 1he
llyers estimate that there is still
about twenty per cent of the 1912
crop in the hands of the growers,
most of which is more or less bleach
ed The price Is 6S cents for club
though a first grade wheat would
command several cents more.

after the rush of first purchasers is

distinction to the simple suit, and if

that, by the way, is a pretty impor-

be happy in feathered hats, satin
boots and broadcloth gowns knowing
that underneath are muslins so Worn
and ragged that one would be
ashamed to undress before a critical
woman friend. There are women who
buy handsome furs, or velvet coats,
well knowing that they must wear

street hat before all the desirable
and low priced models-have been
picked out. This is especially true in
the case of untrimmed shapes. If you
expect to trim your own fall hat,
make sure of the shape in the early
weeks of September. The trimmings
may come later as we'll as the way of
applying them. Wonderful bargains in
dressy hats may be picked UP just
after the holidays, but few women can
wait until after the holidays for a
needed theater or restaurant chapeau.
Hats bought too late in the season
are of little use the following year Tor
millinery styles change very rapidly
The trimmings may be worth the re-
duced price Of the hat, no doubt, but
one could buy the mere trimmings
quite as cheaply at the beginning OF
season. See that the tailored suit,
the utility coat and at least one even-
ing gown are in sufficiently good style
and condition to do service through
the early part of the season following
their purchase, but buy hats and
boots, while the choice is unlimited.
Conservatism in Buying.
Exaggerated and freakfSn styles are
not for the woman who must make

The average tailored suit, II well

rect in style through second and
even a third eason--provideds skirt
styles are not--as just now--dn the
process OF a decided change. Ready
made suits, bought after the holidays
may often be picked up in good mod
els for as low as $40, and such a suit
should last well into the following
winter season when a similar bar
gain may be found. The woman who
has her tailored suits made to order
by custom tailor-and this is often
the best plan when expensive altera-
tions are called for In ready-to- wear
garments-should secure from the
tailor an extra yard oritwo OF material
with which she can alter the skirt

There are certain wearables, how
