GOICH KEEPS TITLE; THROVSJTURK TWICE Mahmout no Match for the Champion in Contest for Leadership.

TOTAL TIME TAKEN 17:10 Victor Downs His Opponent With Half -Nelson and Crrotch Hold With Apparent Ease. TIRK FORFEITS 9500 TO WRESTLE WITHOUT SHOES. Rather than trrentle with ahoen on, an Gotch Instatrd. and in which the miles backed up Gotch, YusMff Mahmout forfeited ?r00 ot hi share of the parse to botch. Upon this concession on the part of the Turk Goteh agrreed to let him come into the ring: la bis bare feet, the only way the Turk, ever wrestled. Frank Gotch retained the world's championship last night by defeating Yussiff Mahmout in straight falls at the Dexter Park Pavilion, throwing the subject of the Sultan in eight minutes and nine minutes ten seconds, respectively. The champion did not have to resort to his noted toe grip and showed con clusively that he was the master at every stage of the game. All of Mahmout's boasted strength availed nothing when Gotch brought his muscles into play and the champion fairly crumpel his oponent in his grasp when he went after him at top speed. It was by simple grips, which re quired him to be far the stronger, that Gotch beat his man, for it was with a half Ne"lson, a crotch hold and sheer strength that he won his victory. Bia- Crowd Seen Content. A laTge crowd witnessed the contest. Not only was every seat taken, but the aisles were thronged and the steel rafters carried a burden of human freight. The police abandoned, as hopeless, the task of keeping the spectators within definite limits by the! time the main event went on. The walls back of the rear seats were black with people, two and three deep, who could find only standing room, and the passageways between the reserved eats were soon clogged. In one gal lery a band brayed out occasionally. but even the section reserved for the musicians seemed likely to be encroached upon at one time. Gotch carried both the disputed points in the match in a conference held while the opening bouts were being held. Mahmout refused flatly to wear shoes, and Gotch, irritated by his persistence on the point, demanded a concession for allowing him to do so. It was finally agreed that Mahmout should appear in bare feet and pay $500 for the privi lege. COVELESKIE BATTED OFF SLAB BY DOVES Boston Gets Eight Runs in Fourth and Beats Phillies in Opener, 9-5. Boston, Mass., April 15. Thaddeus Coveleskie, who closed his season of 1908 in a blaze of glory, opened his 1909 season inauspiciously. Frank rsowor. man s nostomans batting him out of the box in the fifth inning of the National league opening game here yesterday. Boston triumphed easily over Philadelphia, 9 to 5. A feature of the battle was a home run drive by Bill Dahlen with two men on the sacks. The drive practically broke up the game. The peppery playing of the Doves pleased the 5,000 fans who gathered to see the opening battle. There were no frills, the battery announcements alone preceding the game. Coveleskie did fairly well until the fourth inning, when the Doves landed on him and forced him off the slab. Eight runs were counter by the Bostonlans and In that one round the rallies of the Phillies proved futile. Cecil Ferguson did the heavy work for the locals. He had a good assortment of foolers and pitched a good game, but the Quakers found him frequently at that. Cecil was "In soft? and his labors looked good in comparison with those of the Thaddeus. SAYS JEFF WILL FIGHT JOHNSON Mcintosh Declares Bout Is m Sight. New York, April 15. "Jeffries will battle Johnson for the world's heavyweight championship, and It won't be long before the match is arranged " del clared Hugh D. Mcintosh, promoter of the Burns-Johnson championship match, yesterday before he sailed for England on the Maureta-nia. "I have seen Johnson and Jeffries and it is my opinion that the big heavyweights will fight within the next eight months. I am reliably Informed Jeffries is training faithfully and that he stems confident of getting into condition for a battle with the giant colored champion."

I never had any doubt as to the result, for I had control and after the first few moments I knew it was only a question of time until we won. The com was working;, but it rot away a coo pie of times. Moran caught a beautiful gr&me. I knew that my turn was giving him trouble, because some cross currents of air kept making it break oddly, but he handled it is frreat shape and helped me a lot.
