Men Are Leaving This Afternoon to See the Go.

STATEMENTS OF PRINCIPALS I.V TONIGHT'S BOUT. BY ANTON PIERRI. Manager of .Mahmoul. If Mahmout is beaten la this match I will be a same sportsman and say Gotch In a better man. Bat I vrill so over to Bulgaria or Tarkey and get one that la so big that he will be able to awallow Gotch alive. Ill set Gotch beaten If he only lives Ions enough. Mahmout Is good, sreat, I may say, and will never quit. Gotch has said he must wear shoes, but he will not. BY FRANK GOTCH. Barrins a minor cold I am in perfect shape. My breathlns Is Interfered with In a way beeanse of an Injury I suffered a Ions time ajto, being hit across the face etaoln belns hit acro sthe nose with a baMeball bat. But I am perfect otherwise. I think, feel that I will beat this fellow. I have said that I will hold the referee to a strict Interpretation of rule 7, which calls for shoes. What are rules for If not to be lived up tot HOW Gotch. 31 .... 108 5:11 44 3.1 73 THE MEN SIZE lP. Mahmout.

The contest will take place in the same Dexter Park arena wherein Gotch won his laurels, and as much interest seems to center in the outcome as in the noted bout of April a twelvemont hago. Every detail has been arranged for the clash, save only the point of whether Mahmout shall be compelled to wear shoes or not. That this matter will be adjusted is the belief of the promoters. Mahmout prefers to wrestle in his bare feet, as he has done in all of his bouts here. Gotch wants him to wear shoes, as that gives him a better hold for his noted too grip. The leverage obtainable through- grasping the comparatively rigid end of a shoe Is considered a decided advantage by the champion. Turk Works In Bare Feet. Mahmout .wrestles in his bare feet as a matter of custom and has paid little heed to the opinion of his manager that Gotch will be less able to get a grip on a bare foot, slippery with perspiration, than on a leather shoe. The only reason the Turk prefers to continue wrestling without shoes is because his bare feet give him a firmer grip on the mat. Refere Ed Smith held a conference with the men yesterday, but the matter of fotgear was not adjusted. Under , the rules named in the articles of agreement Gotch has the right to insist that the Turk wear shoes, for rule 7 no provides. The matter is largely technical, and it may be adjusted by Yussiff donning very light gymnasium shoes for the occasion. The men will weigh about the same when they enter the ring, and it is believed each will scale in the neighborhood of 197 pounds. Gotch may be a few pounds heavier. Mahmout does not come here with the exaggerated European r ecord of which Hackenschmidt boasted a year ago, but he has shown his quality on ,tlie mat, both liere and elsewhere. lie

THE TIMES.

Part in Opening Game of Season Today

Frank Chance, lst has never been defeated .although he has met practically all the great wrest lers of this and other countries, save Hatckenschmldt and Gotch. Many Challenges Expected. cnallenges for the winner will be numerous tonight. Martin Julian will advance the claims of Ernest Siegfriend, the German Oak," who reached the city Sunday. Hackenschmidt is sig nificantly silent, although advances have been cabled to him urging him to challenge. Dr. Roller of the Pacific coast will also issue a defl. Kegardless of reports of betting, there is no real favorite, although the average follower of the game thinks Gotch will win. But this opinion has not sufficed to make' the odds definite CARL WILLMflKE BOW Crack Hammond Fighter Is Ready for the Fight of His Life. Carl Anderson Is to make his little bow to the followers of the fighting game in the Calumet region before the Columbia Athletic club in West Ham mond tomorrow night. This will not be his debut of course but Carl has not fought in Hammond in some time and as his friends say he has greatly Improved, the general pub CARL ANDERSONIIc""w1ir"De anxious to see just' what" rie can do.

George Browne, C. F. and says he never felt more confident in his life. He will take on Eddie McGoorty, and blieves he can whip him. Bobbie Burns will take on Kon O'Keefe, and Reece Powell will take on Kad Lavin. This will make one of the best bills that has ever been offered by the West Hammond aggregation. ARSON IfHEfiO ROLE Leads Forlorn Hope Against the Giants, But Shows He Is no 'Has-Been.' New York, April 14. It was dis tinctly a day for the old-timers at the Polo grounds yesterday, and about 800 pounds of veterans lumbered about the lot, while the Giants were beating Ad rian C. Anson's Colts from Chicago by the score of 7 to 1. In the heavy weight crowd were "Pop" Anson and on a rough guess he must have contributed over 250 pounds, while "Dan" Brouthers was by ng means trained too fine, and Robinson looked to be over the 225-pound limit. "Cap" Anson was the hero of the day and the small crowd took off its collective hat to the old giant. To show that he has not yet reached the "hasbeen" class in spite of his 58 years, he walloped out a two-bagger the second time he went to bat. and, if he could have passed his legs by each other-a trifle faster,, he might have reached third, for the hit was a long one down the left field foul line. As for the game itself it was easy. Fred Tenney broke up the affair in the third inning when he smashed out a clean home run over short stop with the bases full. This was the first scoring of the "goo." and after that the Giants hit Bradshaw freely. WWM BACKED FOB GO iTH flELSOfl New Yorker Willing to Bet $5,000 "Cyclone" Can Beat Dane. Johnny Thompson will not lack backing if he is successful in getting a match with Battling Nelson for the lightweight championship of the world. Larney Litchenstein, manager of the Sycamore Cyclone, received a telegram yesterday from Billy Long, Muggsy McGraw's partner in his New York bil liard hall, ofCering to bet $5,000 on Thompson against Nelson. John J. White, the famous New York sporting man, also sent word to Litchenstein that he would back Thompson for any reasonable amount for a go with Nelson. The winning fight Thompson put up against Mickey Gannon in N'ew York recently won him great favor in the east and many Gotham ring fans are of the opinion that Johnny Is the one boxer In the world who has a chance of lowering the colors of the Hegewisch Dane. "I think Thompson is entitled to a battle with Nelson." said Litchensteln yesterday "Nelson stated recently that he would take on Johnny, provided I secured a club to offer a $5,000 purse and would accommodate him with a $5,000 side bet. Coffroth is willing to i . . .. r- . i .1 i ; ' i ttct'o $3,000 is In the hands of I'.at Masterson in New York. We have met the champion's terms and expect the fight." Coffroth and Brltt are expected In Chicago today. The latter will have a talk with Nelson and will see Harry Gilmore Jr., McFarland's manager, to arrange a meeting between Packey and Britt for July 4 before Coffroth's club. If Brltt is unable to get McFarland to agree on terms he probably will match Nelson with Thompson, as th champion has promised the latter a battle in the event that McFarland failed to accept his terms. N. Y. HITS RACING Bfll Prohibiting Printing of Turf News. Albany, N. Y., April 13. New York took another slap at racing today when the state senate passed a bill prohibiting the publication of betting odds on horse races.

WE WILL WIN WITHOUT JONES, SAYS SULLIVAN BY BILLY SVLLIVAN. Detroit. April 14. I appreciate the responsibilities that have been thrust upon my shoulders by President Comlskey In naming me as the leader of the White Sox team for the comins seanon and I am not solas to shirk any of the responsibility. It will be n hard thins to fill Fielder Jones' shoes, but I am willing to sive my best efforts to the work. The Sox are not weaker this year than they were last year, despite the loss of Jones. If Jones were with ns this year we would walk away with the Has. We are solns to win It without him, for the new men that we have added to the team this spring are all comers and will strengthen as fully 20 per cent. HASH SLINGERS I!! GAME Maine vs. Majestic at the Park Next Sunday in Hot Game. Oh, my! The Maine hotel hash slingers have decided to take on the Hotel Majsetic "straight ups" in one of the first baseball games of the season. From the present indications the game will be a warm one. It will not be a case of where Greek meets Greek for there are no Greeks at the Hotel Majestic, but the game will be intersting nevertheless. Th game is to be played Sunday, April 18, at 3 p. m. at Harrison Park, and all of the guests of the two hotels are expected to come out and root for their respective hotels. The following is the lineup of the two teams: Hotel Maine: Gelb, ss; Filan, rf; Anderson, lb; Bradford, 3b; Brahos, 2b; Pio, If; McKay, cf; Caruthers, c; McLaughlin, p; Jeffries, sub.

The American association season wll lopen today with every team in the best possible condition and able to deliver the best quality of ball ever seen in the minor leagues. The western group In the American association is touted as the stronger, but it is noted here that the easter nclubs have been making better showings against the big league teams in exhibition games than the western group. The Milwaukee team opens at home against St. Paul, and Minneapolis plays at Kansas City. Toledo helps Indianapolis to raise the pennant in Hoosierdom and Columbus plays at Louisville.

Bowerman hasn't added much new ma terial, except Peck, who seems very promising and a couple of pitchers. 1 A place in the first division is a possibility with a well-season element In Dahlen, Beaumont, Rltchey and Harry Smith to set the pace for the youngsters. Sweeney should be a stronger man at third base than he was last season and Beck handles himself as If he ultimately, would be the regular first baseman. The team should be far stronger In pitchers and catchers than in 1908, for Bowerman not only is in first-class shape again, but Graham will show the benefit of last year's experience.
