Cincinnati, April 15. When Charley Olson of Indianapolis heard that Americus had thrown Fred Beell in a wrestling match at Baltimore for the light
heavyweight championship, he lmme- J
diately became- interested. Said he: "Those fellows have no right to go on the mat for championship in that class without first seeing me. I a.m pretty sure that I can beat any man in America outside of Gotch, and think so to the extent of $1,000 if Americus will take me on. I shal make arrangements as soon as possible. Americu3 is a good man, but I think I can beat him, but he can never claim the title without defeating me."

WESTERN LEAGUE SEASON OPENS IN THREE CITIES.
Omaha, Denver and Sioux . First Games.
City IVln
Des Moines, la., April 15. The Western league baseball season of 1908 was launched today in three cities Des
Moines, Denver and Lincoln. The league
Is composed of six clubs, as was the case the past season. Omaha whaled the local club in fine fashion, winning by a score of 10 to 2. At Denver the home club was victorious, beating Puelbo in a fast contest, 5 to 3. Sioux City defeated Lincoln at the Nebraska capital by a 4 to 1 score.
PLUVE SPOILS ANOTHER CHANCE
Cincinnati, O., April 15. Old J. Pluvius broke up the game between Chicago and Cincinnati today and saved the Reds from another defeat. Tonight Chance is mourning a lost opportunity and his players are resting to take a "gosh awful crack" at the Cincinnati bunch tomorrow. The day of idleness was one of misfortune to the Cubs, for it resulted in an injury to Hofman which may keep him out of the game for weeks. His injury was almost a duplicate of that suffered by Tinker at Vicksburg this spring, and which kept Tinker out for over three weeks.
WAUGEGAN CLUB WANTS C0UL0N-SCULLY FIGHT.
The Cubs' Athletic club of Waukegan, 111., is making efforts to bring Johnny Coulon and Tommy Scully, the two local bantams, together for its show on April 29. Tom McCann, manager of the club, has made an offer of 50 per cent of the gate receipts for the mill. Both boys were match a short time ago to battle at 108 pounds ringside for a side bet of $300. Scully being the challenger for the title.
CHICAGO TRAP SHOOTERS LEAD,
Indianapolis, April 15. Jesse Young of Chicago, was high amateur in the
first day's shotting of the annual spring tourney at the Indianapolis Gun club here today with a score of 185 out of a
possible 200 targets. Lee Barkley,
also from Chicago, was the high pro
fessional with a count of 192 shattered birds. Contestants were present from several states. The tourney will close tomorrow.
MANY DISAP0INTED FANS. Yesterday's scheduled game between the Sox and the Detroit Tigers was called off for two reasons first, a gale hung with icicles blew across the south side yard all the afternoon, and second. Managers Jones and Jennings agreed that they had made enough runs on the opening day to last until this afternoon, when the two clubs will go at it again with unabated fury. Notwithstanding the fact' that the no game sign was posted as early 1:30 o'clock stragglers besieged the box i office up to the time for the gong and seemed greatly disappointed at not being allowed to shiver through the afternoon in weather which would have made clean play impossible. It was too cold even for the Sox to practice, which is proof positive that It was impossibly cold, for Manager Jones would have had the men working out if there had been any chance.

TIE FOR FIRST PLACE.
The Bessemer Park Intermediates opened up the 135-pound championship series at the Bessemer Park gymnasium by meeting the Mark White Square team from the north side, who are leaders of the northern division. The game resulted in a well earned victory for the Bessemer Park aggregation by a score of 23 to 20. The gymnasium seating capacity was taxed to the limit and after the alloted three hundred and
fifty fans had been admitted no more
were allowed to enter.
Owing to some misunderstanding the
game Monday was not played at the Mark White gymnasium and as a result
it is said that Mr. DeGroot, the general director of the Sail Park system.
will call the game a forfeit to the Mark
White team. Two members of the lo
cal team stated they were not notified
of the game and failed t oshow up. It is due to this that the game will be forfeited.

A large number of tickets have been
sold and a good time will given to all who attend. All the members with the aid of their wives have been working toward the success of the affair and will endeavor to make the ball a suc

. Copyright, 1906, by Edward J. Clode,
' Ereryothcr person on the ship held the opinion that the Alaculofs would attack
by night if they were not afraid to attempt the enterprise at all. So Suarez Elept soundly while his companions
were on the qui vlve for a call to repel boarders. Were it not for the strain induced by the silent menace of their savage neighbors the small company suffered no ill from their prolonged stay in this peaceful anchorage. There
was work in plenty fcr all hands. Walker was re-enforced by a trio of firemen whose technical knowledge, slight as it was, proved useful when
he began to fit and connect the dis
abled machinery. For the rest, the promenade deck was walled with strong canvas, while Courtenay and Tollemache gave undivided attention
to the fashioning of several other floating bombs which could be exploded from the ship. They also provided flexible steam pipes in places where a rush might be made if the Indians once
secured a footing on the deck, fore or
aft Steam was kept up constantly in the donkey boiler not alone for the electric light and the daily working of the pumps, as the Kansas had not blundered over the shoal without straining some of her plates, but for use against the naked bodies of their possible assailants. When day followed day without any sign of hostility not a man on board save Suarez and Tollemache paid much real heed to the shoreward peril. Walker, with his hammers and cold chisels, screw jacks and wrenches, was the center of interest And Walker's swarthy visage wore a permanent grin, which presaged well for the fulfillment of his promise. Elsie devoted herself to the hospital. She was thus brought more in contact with Christobal than with any of the others. Nor did he make this close acquaintance irksome to her. Always suave and charming in manner, he exerted himself to be entertaining. Though she knew full well that if the Kansas reached the open sea again
he would ask her to marry him, he
was evidently content to deny himself
the privileges of courtship until a prop
er time and season.
She was far too wise to appear to
avoid Courtenay. Indeed, she was stu
diously agreeable to him when they
met She adopted the safe role of
good fellowship, flattering herself that
her own folly would shrink to nothing
ness under the hourly castigation thus
nfiicted.
After the midday meal on Christmas
day a sumptuous repast, for the due
preparation of which Elsie had come
to the Chilean cook's assistance in the
matter of the plum pudding Suarez suddenly reported that a new column
of smoke was rising from Guanaco
hill, a crag dominating the eastern
s'ie of the bay. He was unable to attribute any special significance to the
signal on that particular place. Dur
ing his five years with the Alaculof
tribe he had never seen a fire lighted
there before. That in itself was a fact
sinister and alarming.
Suarez had sufficient tact hot to make
this statement publicly. He told Chris
tobal, and the doctor passed on the in
formation to the captain. Both men
went to the poop with their glasses and
carefully examined the coast line.
Courtenay was the first to break an
oppressive silence, and his low pitched
voice announced stirring tidings.
"Do you see those canoes yonder?"
he said. "There were three under the
trees before Suarez discovered tke
smoke on Guanaco. Now I fancy
can make out nearly a dozen. Though
they are not launched, they have been
put there for some purpose. Would
yon mind going forward and asking
Mr. Boyle to summon all hands ou
deck? He knows exactly what to do.
Remember that I regard you and Miss Maxwell as noncombatants and expect
you both to remain in the salon.
these painted devils really mean to at
tack, some of us will get hurt and then
your services will be of greater value than in the fighting line. And if I do not see Miss Maxwell before the trouble begins please tell her she need feat no alarm. We shall be able to beat off
our assailants with comparative ease." When the captain of the Kansas spoke like that, there was no gainsaying him. Even Christobal. whose jealous suspicions were ever ready to burst into flame, was roused to enthusiasm by his cool gallantry. But ere the Spaniard turned to go a disturbing thought forced its way tc his lips. "We have every confidence in you." he said, "and I admit that it should be a simple matter to prevent the savagef from gaining the upper hand. Tet accidents happen. Suppose they manage to rush your defense?" "They will not do that while 1 and every other men on deck is alive. If the worst comes to the worst, you have a revolver" "Yes," said Christobal. "It will suffice for two, but not for a
hundred." The two men, united by the very bond which threatened to bring them into antagonism, looked inlo each other's eyes. "Is that your last woru?" asked Christobal. "It is." "I feel sure that you are right GoodhTl To Be Continued.)
