BUSCH WAS OUTCLASSED. WEXT MATCH WILL BE BETWEEN THE TURK AND OLSEN OF INDIANAPOLIS WHO JS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BEST.

By Tort. Carl Busch, our German. Triend, who has been Informing the public what a terror ho was at Greco-Roman wrestling, had the opportunity of proving his assertion In the match with Bob Managoff. the Turk, at the coliseum last night, but he failed to make good. In other words the Turk beat him at hi own' game. Ia the first bout after Carl had placed Bobby squarely on his shoulder In one minutes and twenty seconds after the opening of hostilities, the crowd remarked, "Why that German boy is the 'cat's ankle' isn't he?" After the Turk m the second bout got the decision after 42 minutes of hard work, and after' he had repeated the trick In the final bout after eight minutes exertion, the crowd gaaed scornfully at Busch, its ersewhlle favorite, and made cutting remarks about him being an exploded phenom. Biff Charley Olson, an American, despite his Yonny Yonson kind of a name, refereed the bout and gave excellent satisfaction. Olsen and Jim BjWris of Lowell, Mas., challenged the winder ofcthe match prior to the first act of the German tragedy, and next HsJxBiesday night the people of Richmond will see the best wrestling bout otheeaon Olsen vs. the Turk. Both men are of equal height and weight, and' Olsen; Is regarded as the best light heavyweight In the county. He Is a typical looking American athlete, tall, w4Ch long powerful legs, narrow at the htpt and wonderfully developed about the chest and shoulders. In the first bout the Turk and Busch sparred for an opening about a minute then, Busch. closed In, got a half ItetBDU and placed the Turk on his shoalder blades. It was a clean cut fall and the crowd applauded heartily. IS the second bout the Turk twice hadKhe German almost down and Olson each time ran his hand under the X- . - - V A. 1 m

mistakes. Turk Made Friends. . The Turk last night made hundreds of friends through the medium of his victory, since he was battling against a man who was thoroughly acquainted with the Greco-Roman method of wrestling and because he showed himself to be a sportsman. A few times in excitement the Turk punished Busch severely, but he fought a battle, as a whole, in a sportsmanlike manner. Busch's dirty tactics lost him many of the friends he had won in previous matches In this city. Busch had a boil on his arm which caused him much pain and although the Turk knew that he could cause the German more suffering by striking the afflicted member, he did not. The Turk oftentimes reached below . the waist for holds, which is barred In Greco-Roman wrestling, but this Is excusable when It Is taken Into consideration .that the Turk Is a catch-as-can wrestler and Is not thoroughly at home at any other sort of game.

SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO I PERUSE DETECTIVE STORIES, ! SAYS MR. FOULKE INTEREST. TOPICS DISCUSSED.

At the first session of the seventeenth annual meeting ef the Indiana Library association, held at the 'Morrisson-Reeves library last evening, Mrs. Ada L, Bernhardt, who Is the librarian of the Morrisson-Reeves library, gave the welcoming address, and this was followed by a most interesting paper read by the Hon. William Dudley Foulke, LI D., of Richmond, on the subject of "The Disadvantages of a Public Library." This paper was very much enjoyed by the large number of delegates and guests. It is the general belief that the meetings this year are proving far. more successful and beneficial than any previous meetings. At the meeting of the association yesterday afternoon. Prof. Harlow Lindley, of Earlham College, and president of the association, gave an interesting address on the organization of the present association and gave a list of the first officers. Marilla Freeman, of Louisville, Ky., gave a very Interesting talk on "The Library and Publicity," and the discussion of the afternoon was led by Artena M. Chapin of the public library at Muncie. In her welcoming address, Mrs. Bernhardt said, "It is with the greatest pleasure that I welcome you here tonight.; Our library Is naturally isolated on account of its age. We need to associate with others of our kind and learn their ways. It is wholly impossible for every one connected with the library to learn and visit other institutions, The short vacation must be used for recreation and the small salaries makes long trips impossible. It la generally only the chief of the staff who attends. Therefore it means much to us here at the MorrissonReeves library to have the state association meet here. The original building was of brick, erected and opened In 1864, from the money given for the purpose by Robert Morrlsson for whom the library was named. Later additions were made in the rear, which now form out reference rooms. In 18!):i, Mrs. Mark E. Reeves gave $3,0X to the fibrary.and the building was enlarged and placed in its present condition. The names was then changed to the Morrisson-Reeves library. - It is, however, with great satisfaction that the Richmond librarian placed upon the shelves in the post year, Mr. Foulke's "Paul and Deacon," Mr. Martin's "Friendly Stars," Mr. Hale's "Week With Roosevelt at the White House," and Mr. MacNutt's "Letters of Oortez," all works by former Richmond people. "We are. therefore, thankful with gratitude that you are here and that you will not regret your trip to the extreme eastern border of the state, and hope that you be willing to keep the circuit, until each library in the state shall have become Immediate with the association." In his address Mr. Foulke said in part: "Great changes have been made in the public libraries of the country. When I was a small boy, I went to the Astor Library in New York. It opened in the morning at 9 o'clock and closed at 4 o'clock. Here you had to look at a catalogue and many times you were unable to find what you wanted, and then again you might find something on the subject, but there might not be the best reference. The libraries should have people in them that are well acquainted with the books and give the person the best book according to their own knowledge. "With the hours offered by the library the working man, who needs the use of the library, is unable to use it because it closes too soon. It is also true that clerks who are on duty do not get to use it." Mr. Foulke said: "A new era has come, and our country is the leader in the movement. It is now the object to make the books as accessible as possible so that anybody can get any book that they may wish. It is in this reason that sometimes the small libraries are far more valuable to the reading public than the large library.' "In my opinion the man who reads a great deal is not as greatly benefited as the man who does not read so much, but who reads well what he does read. It is not the amount of reading; not the research one does when working on a subject, but It Is the amount of thinking that he does as well," said Mr. Foulke. "The theater and the press have a great influence on the people of the present day. Theater Condemned. "At the present time the theater has a viciousness that is apparent throughout the country and the same is true with the press. A good press In invaluable. It is also an educator when good news is given to the reading public and yellow journalism eliminated. It is the general saying of editors of the yellow journals that the people want it, but it seems to me that no decent editor would permit such rubbish to be published in his paper. "People state that one of the evils of the library is that It Is becoming a loafing place." Here Mr. Folk told of a very amusing experience at the Congressional library at Washington

"Now that is certainly better for our African brother than having him spend his time in cigar stores and saloons. This is one of the valuable features of th2 Y. M. C. A. which Richmond will soon have. "Here the boys and the men can go to spend their time and the library only is a better place for- them to be. "Your small boy reads books that do more harm than good. The detective stories may be ail right for detectives to read but they are not for boys to read. This J.i ons of the evils of the public library. "The librarians should use tact when persons come tu the institution to ask for boobs. It is a good deal better to say "The book is out' than to give a book of poor substance to one on whom it may have a bad influence. "It is very good plan to have the book cases arranged in such a manner that the people who visit the library can see the backs of the books. These books should be neatly bound. They should be books that are good for a person to read and when they are though they will know mote than they did before reading. "People like to read poor books of romance just like they do yellow journalism. There kind of boo!?3 should not be purchased out of the endowment fund. The library should not be lowered to the reading public but let the public be elevated to the library." At the meeting of the Library association held in the Earlham college library this morning, H. S. Wedding, librarian of Wabash college at Crawfordsville, gave a very interesting talk on "College and Public Libraries." N. C. Hodges, librarian of the Cincinnati library and first vice president of the A. L. A. gave an address and the discussion was lead by W. M. Hepburn, of Purdue university and W. E. Jenkins of Bloomington. A SLIGHT RAINFALL

First Rain That Has Fallen Since October 10th, This Afternoon.

SIXTY-SEVEN DAYS' RECORD

They were the first heaven sent drops of rain that have fallen in this vicinity since October 10 when .02 of one inch of rain felL . October 7th, 29 of one Inch of rain sprinkled the surface of the earth. The last rain previous to that fell August 17 when .41 of an inch was precipitated. The entire amount of rain that has fallen in this city In sixty-seven days has been almost the unrecognizable amount of .72 of one inch. The drizzle that set In at about 1:49 o'clock this afternoon did not give promise of any serious downpour.

Robert 11. Burch of Cincinnati has resigned a3 captain of the Yale eleven and the resignation has been unanimously refused by the other members of the tsam and by those subs who are at the training, table. The men would rather have him for a side line captain, he is so good, than choose a successor to him. New TCngland's annual winter run of indoor roller polo started this week with tfce opening. cf the National Roller Pclo league in Fall River, Providence, New Haven and Bridgeport. Altogether 10 teams started the season, but neither Srlem uc- Brockton, two of the four Massachusetts clubs in the league opened tlie first night. A deal involving bout $1,000,000 was consummated at Pittsburg by Barney Dreyf.is. president of the Pittsburg base ball club, whereby the club secures a sire rf soven acre of ground at the entrance to Schenlev park to be used as an athletic field. It is planned to have slr.nds -with a seating capacity of 23.000, making it the largest sheltered stand park In the country. New' York Nationals who will not start a series w'th the Detroit Americans have divided up about $14,000.

The money was acquired by a gift from President Brush, a benefit and an exhibition game. National commission members will meet in Chicago Nov. 10 and it is expected that some action will lx? taken toward reinstating the Washington, Milwaukee r.nd Minneapolis players who are now suspended for playing against the Logan Squares. Hank O'Day. considered by many the best baseball umpire in the world, while officiating in the world's series came out with a point-blank statement that he is opposed to the double umpire system. He gave as his reason that he has found more trouble working doub'e than single, as in many cases he has not only bad to give his own decisions, but sometimes his mete's as well, as in the famous New York-Chicago game, which cost the New York Giants the national league penant. Lino Coach Maurice Connor, of Northwestern's football team, who was in oHlelal in the Chicago-Illinois game at Marshall field Saturday, thinks that referees and umpires for big games should be satisfied with the honor their

j selection carries with it. and that the

custom of feeing them each for their work should be abolished.
