GOTCH

HAD NO LUST HI

Frank Gotch, champion wrestler of the world, repelled an Invader again last night at the Coliseum. Giovannla Raicevich, Italian challenger, went down to defeat in straight falls. The result giv Gotch another quarter section of land in Iowa. If he keeps up the pace we will possess entire counties. His share from the gate last night was no mean sum, as upward of 15,000 crammed Into the big structure. At no time during the match did Raicevich have a chance. He showed superb strength and a fair knowledge of defense. He certainly needed the latter, for he was on the defensive practically all the time. Gotch won the first fall in 18:28 on a crotch and bar arm hold. The second went his way on a cross leg, hammer and wrist lock hold in the sprinting time of 5:28. It was simply another case of a master workman opposed to a sturdy foreign mat man. Viewed from a crowd standpoint the event was spectacular in the extreme. At 8 o'clock, the time for the first bout, the great building was jammed, and a yelling, surging mob stood on the outside, clamoring wildly for admission. By actual count it took an enthusiast twelve minutes to" force his way from the street into his seat at the ringside. SMASH AUTOREGORDS Chevrolet Drives Car 200 Miles in 2:46:48; Strang Goes Mile in 0:37:70. STARS TRY ATLANTA TRACK New Motor Course Is Dedicated By Series of Sensational Speed Contests. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 10. Louis Chevrolet, the sturdy Swiss pilot of Bulck cars, who has leaped Into racing prominence during the last year, annexed another hard-earned victory yesterday when he captured the 200-mile stock chassis race, averaging about seventytwo miles an hour. Chevrolet's victory came as a climax in a record-breaking contest, in which Atlanta's new twomile speedway was opened. Two of Barney Oldfield's records were lowered, one of them by Lewis Strang, who reduced Oldfield's one-mile mark of 0:43.10 by more than five seconds to 0:37.70. To do It Strang used the big 200 horse power Flat which has had a world s record or v.zs over me two and three-quarter mile track at Blooklands, England, last summer. Oldfield took tho limit out of his hitherto un beatable Benz and took nearly three seconds off his own previous record. The second of Oldfield's records to vanish was beaten in the ten-mile han dicap when John Aitken In a National "Sixty" starting from scratch, forged ahead to first position in the field of eight cars in 8.27:22, actual running time. His elapsed time for the race, which Included his seventy seconds' handicap, was 9:12:41. Oldfield, who made the distance at Indianapolis In 8:15:09, also started from scratch in this contest, but broke a steering knuckle in the first lap and was com pelled to withdraw. George Robertson, who was to have appeared in two events with his Fiat 'Sixty" broke an oil pipe before com ing to the mark and was out of the game all day. In practice before the race he made the two miles lap In 1:32 a showing which would have made him a competitor In the big car races. Chevrolet's winning of the big race of 200 miles in 2:46:48 was a brilliant exploit, lowering Burman's record of 3:24:13 4-10 made In a Bulck at Indianapolis. The big pilot stopped but once In the 100 laps, and then only when his engine caught fire. Chevrolet assumed the lead In the first lap and increased It slowly but steadily for seventy-two miles. The two Chalmers-Detroit cars took hia exhaust at distances which seemed to increase only by Inches, but in the first ten these Inches had multiplied into almost a mile. As the sturdy Swiss flashed past the trained eye of Hugh Harding, the Apperson driver, who was in the press box, detected what escaped the lay observer. Ignoring the thunder of cheers which drowned al lother sounds, Harding cried in his excitement: "You're on fire; your'e on fire, Louis." Chevrolet apparently was ignorant of the fact at the time, but when he had gone about a mile the smoke belched into his face. Then he experienced his only delay. During the few minutes that it required to extinguish the blaze Dlngley regained the last laps and took the lead by about thirty yards. His triumph was short-lived, for Chevrolet took after him and passed him during the next lap. He was never again In danger. No serious accident marred the day's sport. The nearest approach to such an Incident occurred In the eighty-fifth lap, when Harry Stiliman, whose Harmon had not experienced a single delay, ran into the inner gutter of the track. Neither he nor his assistant were hurt beyond a few bruises. The accident occurred on the back stretch when an overstrained rear tire softened and sent the car into the ditch. Three wheels flew off. one of tbem rolling 200 yards into the paddock before its impetus was lost.

TROUBLE

GUT W TH ITALIAN

At 8:30 the sale of tickets was stopped and half an hour later even seat holders were refused admission. Inside the scene was even wilder. Hundreds, unable to secure their seats. Jammed up the aisles, shutting off the view from those behind. Assistant Chief Herman Schuetler finally came to the rescue and had the officers clear the passage. And all the time the din was terrific, reaching a climax when the mighty champion of them all pinned the Italian's shoulders to the mat in the Anal fall. Raicevich had learned a way of stopping the toe hold. Many times Gotch essayed this grip, which he has made famous. The Italian's face would be distorted with pain, but eventually he would slip out of the grip. Then Gotch. changing his tactics, employed the toe hold merely to force his weighty opponent to give him a hold of another character. The bout was fast throughout, Raicevich continually writhing away and leaping to his feet. But Gotch was his master here and always wound up by forcing him back to the mat. Once he picked up the gigantic Italian in his arms like a baby and literally hurled him to the floor with a crash. Raicevich had to bite his lips, apparently, to still a cry of pain and surprise. PLOT SEEN 10 OUST MURPHYJROM GAME Heydler - Herrmann - Dreyfuss Combine Said to Be on Trail of Cub President. Cincinnati, O., Nov. 10. Is President Charles Murphy of the Cubs to be ousted from the National league? It was reported here today that President Heydler of the league and Owners Dreyfuss of Pittsburg and Herrmann of Cincinnati have been leagued against Murphy and President Ebbetts or Brooklyn with the purpose of expelling them from the organization. Their reason, it Is claimed, started when Murphy and Ebbetts formed an alliance for the purpose of removing Heydler from the presidency of the league. "Grand kickers of baseball" is the way Murphy and Ebbetts have been styled by the magnates, it is said. On learning this the Cub and Dodger leaders are claimed to have remarked that they would 'g'et" Heydler. It is for this reason, so the report goes, that James Hart of Chicago was put up as a candidate for the presidency by Murphy. Looking at the standpoint of the battle here It seems as If Hart would be placed into the job unless Herrmann, Heydler and Dreyfuss keep in the alert. It is said that the trouble reached a head when Heydler upheld Herrmann in all his dealings. What the result will he is hard to foretell, but it is certain that one of the merriest little battles in the history of the National league will come when the question of the presidency is brought forward at the league session. BUCKS CYCLONE WITH S2QJI0QJIL0H6 GO Rich Kansas Man "Willing to Wager Thompson Can Whip Packey. Kansas City, Nov. 10. Every effort to rematch McFarland and Thompson failed today, Packey refusing to acctpt Cvclone's request for a twenty or forty flv round battle on a winner-take-all basis. The general opinion here, how ever, is that the two lightweights will be brought together again in the near future over a longer route. Thompson won many friends by his great showing against Packey and the consensus of opinion is that in a longer battle he would be returned the winner, G. W. Shaw, a wealthy business man of Strong City, Kan., who witnessed the battle today offered to back Thompson for $20,000 for a forty-five round bout. He declared that ho would post the money with any reputable sporting man or any newspaper in the country within twentv-four hours after McFarland ac cepts tlie proposition. Both Packey and Thompson left for Chicago last night. Packey will reach homo at 7:30 a. m. on the Alton and Thompson and his manager, Larney Lichtenstein, are due at 11 a. m. ALLERDICE INJURED.
