The teams are to be all Japanese, though American capital will probably be Interested in the promotion. Tokyo will be the first city In which a team will be placed. Ultimately it Is planned to hive a great national league for Japan. Though amateur baseball is getting to be a craze In the Islands, baseball men hare felt- that professional ball 'was four or five years away.

rGOTcH "vsrH ACK. V. . - - ... --4 ; Two Famous Heavyweight ""Wrestlers May MeeYlrf MarchT

LONDON -WILL GET CONTEST. At Recant Matting ths ' Two Mat Gladiators Agreed to Second Match. Arrangements Being Made For Bout Europe Full of Wrestlers. By THOMAS F.CLARK. The announcement that Frank Goteh. the world's champion heavyweight wrestler, and George llackenschmidt. the "Prussian Lion," are to meet again on the mat has caused a stir in wrestling circles both In this country and abroad. Recently a number of newspaper men attended a meeting In London called by llackenschmidt for the purpose of discussing the proposed match. It was proposed that a committee of BACKXRSCKIDT EXKOUTINO HIS FAMOUS liOCK HOLD. " ; newspaper men should arrange the details of the -encounter, which will probably take place some time next March. Gotch did not attend the meeting, but later,' however,, llackenschmidt and the champion met. Both cordially agreed to let bygones be bygones, and Goch Intimated his willingness to let the newspaper men's committee settle the details of the match. Gotch's Tictory over the supposedly invincible "Russian Lion" last April startled the English speaking in. the wrestling world. Hack's reputation and his ability as a wrestler were known the world over. He had been the pride of Europe for years and had beaten so many high class wrestlers that his match with Gotch was considered only a little more than an exercise gallop for him. After wrestling for one hour and forty-five minutes without either one gaining a fall llackenschmidt deliberately quit after many appeals to the referee, claiming that the American was not wrestling, but trying to injure him for life. llackenschmidt is unquestionably a wonderful wrestler, and that he will be a favorite over Go'Cch' vheu they meet in London there c'a'a lie no question. 1 Gotch is now at the zenith of his powers and will make a tremendous effort to win decisively over the Russian this time, and his struggle will be watched with interest all over the world. He has been " wrestling professionally nine years, and be was champion of America at the catch-as-catcb-can style nearly five years, but last April he gained more honors and added more to his reputation in two hours of his match with Hackenschmidt than in nine - years of his wrestling career.An American athlete who recently returned from Europe tells some inter estlng things about the wrestling situation there. : "Europe Is so full of wrestling giants Just now," he says, "that even the great Hackenscbmidt is becoming a forgotten, back number. Hack has nearly dropped out of sight. He is afraid of his life when anybody mentions Padoubny. Ivan Padoubny stands six feet six inches in his socks and weighs 830 pounds. He is perfectly built, hot fat, and with the greatest pair of shoulders I ever saw. His arms are as thick as an ordinary wrestler's body. I saw him wrestle, and nobody has" a chance with him. Gotch will get a shock when he bumps into that bunch. He'd last about a minute with Padoubny. Zbysco is a joke, but there are dozens of real giants who could beat Gotch. About 20 pounds is the fashionable weight for wrestlers over there. No wonder Mahmout the Turk, skipped over to America to look for work. He was like a kid in that crowd. The Swiss wrestlCrs all over France and Germany are the class ' of the tat There's one big Turk in. London now I who is about Padoubny's weight. Oh, ' Frank will feel like a lightweight when he stacks up against those fet lowsf A GOOD PROGRAM. The Christmas, entertainment of the Third M. E. ciurch Fairview. will be j held this evening. The Sunday school has caarge and have prepared a very pood irt-rara. Invitations are extended to all friends to attend the exerrtses. ' .' .' .

TESTIMDHY FOR HAINS OFFERED

Stranger States He Has Knowledge: of Operation , On Mrs.. Hains. DEFENSE SCORES TODAY. HACK DRIVER IDENTIFIES ACCUSED BUT CONTRADICTS HIMSELF ON CROSS EXAMINATION CHARGED WITH " PERJURY. Flushing, L. I., Dec. 24. Attorney Mclntyre announced this morning that he has received a letter, from a stranger nar?d West who offers to give testimony concerning money raised by Annis to pay for an operation he is alleged to have had performed on Mrs. Claudia Hains. Mclntyre considers him an important witness. Martin Skura, a hack driver, who surprised the prosecution yesterday by being unable to identify 'Jenkins Hains as the man he hauled to Hayside Yacht club on the day of the shooting, testified today that he. now remembers the defendant and heard the latter remark. "We have got him now." Skura -became embarrassed on cross examination and contradicted himself repeatedly. Mclntyre asked the court to commit Skura for perjury. The court took the matter under consideration. ' MEET AND PLAN CORN SCHOOL Interested Growers Hold Ses- ! sion Last-Night. The committee of citizens of Center township met last evening with J. S. Helms, and considered business pertaining to the corn show, to be held in conjunction with the torn school, the first week in February. The exhibits shown at this , time will be used by Prof. Christie of Purdue university, as subject matter for his lectures for the improvement . of torn, at the coin school sessions. . , - A HONGKONG TYPHOON." ) Door and Windows Smashed In by the Fury of the Gale. . Boom! Boom! Boom! The signal had changed to the ominous red-green-red, and the three dynamite bombs were the warning that the typhoon was upon us. No need to hurry the servants now every one was only too anxious to assist. The wind was tearing round the house, seemingly in all directions, but strongest from the north, and the noise of it was louder than thunder. One outside room, more exposed than the rest, seemed to be its especial butt. We stayed there for a moment to listen to the raging of the storm, but even the stoutest heart could not sleep in that pandemonium of sound. It was well shuttered and barred,- but it was incredible that it stood in that tornado of wind. The doors creaked and groaned with the strain, and the windows clattered with a shriller note, while outside it seemed as though all the winds of ail the ages were let loose for destruction.. In the center f the house, though the noise was less, one could feel the building rocking on its foundations and hardly dared speculate how much the late heavy rains had weakened them. Every moment we expected the roof would go. Crash! The upper part of ah inner glass door had blown In. There was a stampede for that part of the house, for the wind must be kept out at all costs. Sofa cushions, sheets, blankets from the beds, all were requisitioned to stuff the broken paues. We had hardly finished before there was a terrific noise in the basement and such a shouting in .Chinese that one could hear'the boys above the din of the storm. It was the door of the cook's room which had burst its hinges and bolts, and once the wind had found an entry it made the most of its opportunity. Twenty-seven panes of glass clattered to the ground in the basement before they could get the door wedged back iuto place with great difficulty. But there ' was little time to think of the servants, for we had our owu troubles upstairs. ' The wind suddenly veered round until the full force seemed to be coming from the southwest, and the front of the house began to feel it The hall door was straining on its hinges, and we had to improvise struts and pile heavy furniture behind it to help Its resistance to the wind. Then a rush upstairs, for a bathroom window had crushed In and the door was straining. Every moment the wind was increasing In fury, but the roof held. Between 3 and 4 the typhoon was at its height, and it is Impossible to describe the sense of helplessness one feels in such a wild raging of the elements. Sleep was out of the question until the wind abated toward morning, and we rested a little, a tired, sorry looking household, encamped in the safest part of the house. Nan Peacock in Leslie's Weekly.

GOOD CHEER FOR THE" POOR: OF THIS CITY

Instead of Christmas being a day of sorrow arid suffering for many ot the poorer people of Richmond, It will be a day of sunshine and good cheer, for today and tomorrow these good people will be supplied with baskets of provisions and toys and clothing donated to the board of -associated charities. Many hungry and poorly clad children were made happy today. The mothers and fathers who are the victims of circumstances and not their own actions, in many instances, were made to feel that life is probably worth living after all. The work of the associated charities this year has not been as broad as it was last Christmas, because of the fact that there is less suffering and hardship in the city.
