CONTRACTS SENT
TO BUCKAROOES

Signifying that Pendleton will be
ready if team is maintained in the
Tri-state league this season is the fact
that contracts have already been sent
out to the players belonging to the
local club. Yesterday President
Charles Bond sent contracts to
Wheeler Osborn, pitcher, Phil Ma
deau, outfielder, Don RAIDER, third
baseman, Curly Wilson, catcher, and
AL Lodell first baseman, all of last
years team.
These are all of the players now
owned by the local club. Ray Au-
gustus and George Pembroke were
turned back to Vancouver, Joe Berger
and Bill Reid were released at the
end of the season by clauses in their
contracts, Jess Garrett was recently
given his release at his own request,
and George Robinson has quit base
ball and is at present in the Philip
pine Islands.
Phil Nadeau has also been retained
as scout and was furnished with
blank contracts with which to sign
up any promising material he encoun-
ters.
The fact that these contracts have
been sent out does not necessarily
mean that Pendleton will have a team
but it is understood that negotiations
are pending looking to the turning
over of the charter to some expert
enced baseball man.

ATHLETIC union
DECLARES THORPE
is PROFESSIONAL

New York, Jan. 9.-Widespread
sympathy is being expressed here fol
James Thorpe. Sac-Fox Indian. and
worlds greatest athlete, who was dis
credited yesterday as a professional
by the Amateur Atheletic Union and
who must return all the trophies he
Won at the recent Olympic games in
Sweden.
The athletic union is soundly con-
demned and its handling of the
Thorpe case has been contrasted with
its handling of hundreds of other pro-
fesSional cases.
1t is conceded that the right thing
was done in repudiating Thorpe, but
She objection springs from the fact
that the unions committee took no
"ognizance of Thorpe playing base
ball before it accepted his Olympic
entry
The committee which considered
Trorpes case was composed of Jas.
Z. sullivan. secretary of the Amateur
Athletic Union; Gustavus T. Kirby,
president OF the American athletic
committee and vice president of the
Olympic committee, and Barlow
Weeks chairman of the executive
committee of the Amateur Athletic
Union
The committee, in reaching its de-
cision, considered two leaters, one of
ghem from the department of inter-
Tor at Washington and the order from.
superintendent Friedman of the Car
lis,e school,
\ letter was produced, in which
Thorpe admitted that he played ball
in 1909 and 1910 with Winston Salem
in North Carolina but denied he was
paid for his services The letter said,
IN part, Il did not play for the mon
ey there was in it, because my prop
erty brings me enough to live on, but
because l like to play ball. I did not
realize this was wrong or that it
would make me professional in
track sports"

JACKSON PUTS
UP GOOD BOUT

Stanilaus Zbyszko, the giant Pole
and champion grappTer of Europe,
did not look like a prospective con-
queror of Frank Gotch in his handi-
cap bout at the Oregon theater last
night with Ben Jackson of Dayton,
champion heavyweight of eastern
Washington. Though he succeeded
in putting the shoulders of the Wash
ingtonian to the mat twice within the
required time, it was his ponderous
physique alone that enabled him to
accomplish the feat. In speed, clev-
erness variety of attack and even in
strength he was a disappointment to
local fans and they would not back
him to win the title from the big
Iowa farmer.
Outweighing Jackson apparently by
eighty pounds, he did not succeed in
crushing the shoulders of his oppo-
nent to the mat until half of the nine
ty minutes had passed. The first fall
came in "A 1-2 minutes and the Sec
ond was secured in II minutes.
Zbyszko probably did not extend him
self during the first half of the bout
but he ran up against a surprise in
the pleasant-faced, lithe-limbed Day
ton boy and he was frank to admit
the fact. After the bout he made a
statement in broken English to the au-
dience, declaring Jackson to be a
great man and a coming cham pion.
This man Jackson, he is great man"
said the big Pole between heavy
breaths. maybe you don't care for
what | say but / don't care what you
think for ! never wrestle here again,
but this Jackson he be great man. He
is stronger than Gotch, but he no
have what you call science. In one,
three years he be champion of the
world

ly by O'Connell and both are eager
for another try at the Multnomah
man. The outcome of the battle to-
night will eliminate one as a contend
er for Eddie's crown.
The winner of the bout tonight will
wrestle the winner of the O'Connell-
Kennedy bout which will be staged
in this city on next Monday evening.
Pineau appeared in preliminary
at the Oregon theater last evening
with Arthur Jackson, a brother of
Ben Jackson, and showed a flash of
his form. Alho was introduced to
the crowd and in broken English de-
clared himself ready 10 meet any man
of his weight and accepted the chal-
lenge of Ed Warner, the La Grande
wrestler.

GOLD STRIKE is MADE

Young PrOspectOrs Crowd Sutro For

San Francisco, Jan. 29.-News of a
gold strike in Sutro Forest, near the
geographical center of San Francis
co, spread through the city and anna
teur prospectors were soon scrambling
over the wooded hills.
John Sheehan, park laborer,
made the strike, and Dan, his father,
took all the ore he could pack in his
pockets to an assayer. The samples
ran $175 to the ton. The Shehanes
did not intend that their discovery

He Loses Everything.

The Amateur Athletic Union will
eXpunge all the records of Thorpe
from its list of track and field
achlevements and will order the re-
turn of all the medals and trophies
that he has won since 1909, including
the pentathlon and decathlon medal
captured for the best all-round ath-
lete at the Olympic games last sum-
mer at Stockholm, Sweden. In each
instance the athletic authorities will
give them to the winner of the sec
ond place and the medal for that po-
sition will go to the winner of third
place.
F. r. Bio of Norway and H. Wies-
lander of Sweden were second to
Thorpe in the penthlon and decath-
lon. respectively, and j. ]. Donahue

ed Jackson to the echo when he
broke a hold or outwitted the giant
foreigner And twice in the second
bout when their man took the aggres-
sive and fastened holds that caused
Zbyszko to call forth his reserve
strength, these loyal supporters went
wild with joy.
Jackson showed himself to be all
that has been claimed for him. He
has an amazing strength for one of
his build and he punished the big
Pole repeatedly with his great hand
and arm grips. The way he kneaded
the face of Zbyszko with his knuckles
was the source of much mirth.
A number of interesting prelimi-
naries preceded the main event.
Three of Jackson's brothers, all look
ing and wrestling alike, appeared in
short bouts, one going on with Pin
eau. Dickey and Bobbie Evans, lit
tie sons of Promoter Dudley Evans,
went on for two falls, much to the
amusement of the crowd Several
boxing bouts were also given.
A number of wrestlers were intro
duced during the evening, among
them Ed Warner of La Grande, and
Ed Alho, the Finn. A challenge from
John Berg to Jackson was read but
did not meet with favor from the
Daytonites.
