Champion Confesses He Has 10 Ways of Working Favorite Grip; Thinks "Lion" Could Break Upper Locks.

Humboldt, la.. Augr. SI. Although Gotrh has stated that he has no fixed plan of battle for defense of the world's championship next Monday, he let it be known today that there were certain xrlps which he considered powerless against Hackenschmidt and thus intimated tho locks he Intends trying.

"I don't believe that any man In the world could throw Hack or myself with a hammerlock," said the champion after a bit of training at his Riverside camp. "It takes too great a prepond

erance of strength to work the ham

merlock effectively for it to be used

successfully in a bout between two well

matched men.

The crotch hold is the one best bet

in my wrestling arsenal. I don't say that it is the grip that I intend to use against Hack, but I don't mind telling you that I have ten different ways of working it. I have tried it out against Westergaard, and although he knows what is coming, I am able to catch him with it every day." The above would lead to the belief that Gotch intends to rely for the most part on the crotch hold against the "Uon." When he wrestles with Westergaard he uses it continually and no matter what position Jesse crawls into the champion manages to slip over his favorite hold and once he has it fairly

on his partner there is a fall or a cry of "enough." Westergaard stated at the conclusion of today's work that in his opinion Gotch would try neither a hammerlock nor any eort of a. nelson hold on "Hack." "It would be useless for any one to try a nelson on this Russian fellow," said Jesse in a discussion of the probable means Frank would use against the burly foreigner. "He is too strong arotind the neck and Shoulders " for either a hammerlock or a nelson grip to have any effect on him. "I am willing to gamble that, save

for a few bluff attacks on the head and neck, Gotch will not attack Hack above the waist line Monday. He will work on his legs and try for the -crotch hold. I nearly turned the 'Lion on his back ith a crotch when we met last winter and ifs I could do that, believe me, Frank will be able to pin his shoulders to the mat once he slips the hold on fairly.-

RUSSIAN ELEPHANT AFTER GOTCH New York, Aug. 31. The Russian giant. Ivan Romanoff, arrived on the Kaiser Wilhelm II. to show American athletes what he can do in the way of wrestling. As soon as his 320 pounds of limb and muscle have become accustomed to this climate, he intends to twist Frank Gotch around his little Anger and stand George Hackenschmidt on his head. Romanoff stands 6 feet 8 Inches without his shoes. He is 23 years old and the only thing that frightens him is the sea. He will leave for Chicago in a few days.

Sox were entertained by the people of

Ottumwa yesterday, and Comlskey's players returned the compliment by

handing a 3 to 0 defeat to the local leaders in the race for the epnnant in the Central association. The largest crowd of the season to see a game in Ottumwa filled the park. A military band of fifty pieces enlivened the affair. Fred Olmstead started to pitch for the Sox. He applied the whitewash brush for five Innings. Then there were many requests for Ed Walsh, whose fame is not confined to Chicago. Manager Duffy finally complied, sending "Big Ed" to the mound in the sixth round. When the curiosity of the fans had been satisfied and they had taken a good look at Walsh and been convinced the local players could do nothing with his spitball delivery, the Sox leader sent "Young Cy" Young to the hill to finish the work. Not a hit was made oft the slabbing of Walsh and Young.

WELLS WHIPS BROWN; BRITISH CHAMPION OUTDOES WOLGAST

Switches Style of Attack, Outgenerals ' ' Knockout' ' and Earns a Shade.

New York, Aug. 31. Matt Wells, a heavy-cheeked Englishman, lightweight champion of Great Britain, beat "Knockout" Brown in ten fast rounds last night at the Madison Square Garden. There was no question as to who had the better of the struggle. By his victory last night Wells demonstrated that he is a serious contender for the world's lightweight championship. When he earned the popular verdict over Brown he did something Champion Wolgast was unable to do in two contests, one going six and the other ten rounds. It was simply a case of a veteran ring general outpointing and outfighting a tough little fellow. Brown was always willing to swap punches with

were unusually tame, about the only incident to break the monotony being a questionable knockdown when J?ronon got to Howell's jaw. The Piiiladelphian was on his feet in. an instant and the blow did not see mto hurt him. Bronson lacked much of the steam and spirit that characterized his work , before his trip around the world as a member of Hugh Mcintosh's string of stars. When Referee Flaherty rendered his decision in favor of Howoll. Bronson put up a mighty kick.i The referee said in no round did Ray have a shade in the milling. Howell's infighting was said to have been the best neen in Boston In many moons. . "

DEZDEK NOW A PIRATE SCOUT

Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 31. Another rainy day and the postponement of a double header with the Phillies gave the weary Cubs a chance to store up more energy for the finish of the Na

tional league race, which has - now turned into a test of endurance rather than si-ill. The drizzle that began during the game yesterday continued all through the night. It stopped a while during the morning, and began again at noon, so the prospects for pastiming were cut off at lunch time. Toward evening the rain stopped, but the clouds continued to hang low over the city and there is much doubt of resuming the series with the Phillies today. If, the weather

j will permit a double header will .be 1 played, and the game scheduled for yes. terday will form part of a double head- ' er to be played in Chicago when the i Quaker city club goes there for the September games. The day has not yet i been set, but will be today.

Hugo Bezdek, the former University of Chicago football player, and at present athletic director of the Universtiy of Arkansas, who this summer has been scout for the Pittsburgh National baseball team, was In Chicago yesterday. The former Maroon said he expected to have another strong football team this year, and planned a Northern invasion with the baseball team next season.-""" "

HORSE KILLS SELF ON RAIL Urbana, 111., Aug. 31. In the five furlong running race 'on the second day's card of the Champaign county fair Tyr, ridden by Jockey King, in turning the first corner, ran into the fence, threw the boy over its head and was impaled on a fence rail, resulting in instant death.

his opponent, but the Englishman was too wary and he did what punching he wanted to and stopped Brown from getting of the left that carried slumber with it. In nearly every round the blackhaired Briton would dance around, jab in with lightning rapidity and then duck or sidestep any dangerous wallops that came his way. Repeatedly Wells cracked his right full tilt against the. Dutchman's jaw, but the game Teuton just shook his head and waded in for more. Brown certainly is game, for he look a fine bunch of wallops without breaking down under thC onslaught. With his nose badly battered and a trickle of blood dropping from his mouth he kept going. In the third round Wells hit what probably was the most telling blow during the' entire battle. A short, snappy right hook crashed through the air. hit Browjs nose and broke it. Wells showed his knowledge of English fighting by heeling with glove and arm. Referee White warned him sev-

I'eral times without avail.

What puzzled the fans greatly was

that Welis used his right most of the time. The last time he fought his hand was ' practically tied and he depended upon his Ifft strictly. This only demonstrated his generalship, for he beat Brown in an entirely different plan than expected.

HONUS WAGNER EAGER TO PLAY

BRONSON GIVEN LACING BYOWELUN BOSTON Indianapolis Boxer Outpointed in Every Round of Twelve.

Pittsburg. Pa.. Aug. 31. Honus Wagner, desperate at the probable slump of the Pirates; hopes to round his ankle in good enough shape to return to the game within a week or ten days. The great shortstop has discarded his crutches. He lias been cautioned against aking early chances. The Piraiffi today. are homeward bound from the' most disastrous eastern expedition in the history of the team as a pennant contender, a1) t0 this "mishap that befell Wagner at Brooklyn.

Manager Fred Clarke is hitting the ball in the. egulation way. The old Plra(e is working like a young phenom just breaking into the game.

Kay Bronson, the Indianapolis boxer, was given a lacing by Tommy Howell

of Philadelphia in twelve rounds of boxing before the Armory Athletic club in Boston the other night, according to the dispatches of the press associations. One of the dispatches read that Ray wanted some one to explain to him why he wag so certain of defeating Howell before they met. Howell got the decision by a mile. The bout went the full twelve rounds and the boxing was clean throughout. Howell hardly was considered a fitting opponent for the match with Bronson, although he had been fighting in the east for a long time. That he not only held his own. but outpointed the clever Indianapolis boy was a surprise to the Boston bugs, before whom Bronson has boxed several times. The early rounds
