FIGHTERS ARRIVING For Big Coliseum Show on Labor Day Night.

Plans for the boxing contests that Hugh McGann proposes to stage here on the evening of Labor Day, are rapidly nearing completion. Most of the principals in the frays are in town, and are putting on the finishing touch- ! - w4 ' , JIMMY WATTS. es to their training during the afternoons at the Coliseum. Jimmy Anderson, one of the contenders in the big bout of the card, got into the city Friday, and went at once to arrange for his final training. Anderson claims he is feeling fine, and will put up a good light. He is not overconfident, however, as he says that Sweeney is much bettor than earlier in the season, and that at best, he can hope for only a small margin of victory. The two met last spring, and although no decision was rendered on the ten round bout, Anderson was credited with a newspaper decision. Anderson, together with some of the local fighters who are going to take part in the minor contests, is training every afternoon at the Coliseum. The place is open to the public, and the promoters would like to have the "fans" come around to. get a line on the men. Sweeney is finishing his training in Indianapolis, and will not come over here until the day of the match. Promoter McGann announces one change in the program. Jimmy Watts the bantamweignt of Indiana, will clash with Jimmy Goldman. Aside from this there will be no deviations from the advertised program. GREENSFORK IS TO HAVE A .FESTIVAL Little Town Will Hava Big Event the Latter Part of This Month. Members of the executive committee who have in charge the arrangements for the Greensfork fall festival at Greensfork on Thursday, September 28, will meet tonight at that place. The farmers in that community have been accustomed to attending the Fall Festivals held here and many have exhibited produce or livestock, but this year as Richmond does not have an exhibit, the Greensfork business men and farmers in that vicinity determin ed to have one of their own. Small cash prizes and other pre. miums will be offered for all of the best exhibits in either livestock, poultry, or produce and grains. There have been quite a number who have signified their intention of entering exhibits. The fruit display particu larly will be large, as it is plentiful in and around Greensfork, like every where else in the county. The organi zation has selected county commissioner Robert N. Beeson as chairman and Ed. Hatfield as secretary. The business men will raise sufficient subscriptions to finance the affair. There will be no charge to any of the exhibits, which will be located on either the streets or in some of the store rooms, CHAMPIONSHIP OF COUNTY AT STAKE The amateur baseball championship of Wayne county will be at stake on Labor day, when the Empire team of this city meets are aggregation from Centervllle. The two teams have easily the best claims for the title of any in the county, as both have gone through their season so far almost undefeated. The game on Monday will be the fourth of a series of five which the two rival nines have played. Up to this time the Empire bunch has come out with the long end of the score, as they have been twice victorious, while the Centerville team has won but one game. KNOCKED OUT BY A WOMAN. Last Monday Mrs. John Hogan, an Ohio woman, did her washing in two hours a job that had always taken the whole morning; But this time she took the advice of several friends aud used Hewitt's Easy Task" Soap, which does the hard part of the work and does it in half the time required by the old fashioned boiling and rub bing methods.

(National News Association) CHICAGO, 111., Sept. 2. In the American League Baseball park Monday afternoon Frank Gotch, the world's champion wrestler will defend his title against George Hackenschmidt, the "Russian Lion," from whom the Iowa grappler wrestled the championship in a contest in this city on April 3, 190S. The bout has attracted attention on both sides of the Atlantic and should prove the choicest tid bit that has been offered followers of the game in a long while. The men will wrestle to a finish, the winner gaining two falls out of three and carrying off the lion's share of the gate receipts besides a large side bet and the championship title. Both wrestlers are reported today to be in the finest fettle for the match, and all indications point to a desperate struggle for supremacy. In a broad sense the contest will be one of cleverness against strength and endurance. Gotch is acknowledged to be the cleverest wrestler who ever stepped on the mat. Hackenschmidt employs no little science in his moves, but his main reliance always has been his wonderful power of strength and endurance. Has' Defeated Them All. Nearly all critics are agreed that Frank Gotch is the greatest wrestling champion since the days of Jack Carkeek, when the latter was at his best. Not so many years ago Gotch was working on a farm in Iowa. "Farmer" Burns, the old-time wrestler, owned the farm, and it was a sort of a trainer to Burns that Gotch started in the game. That was in the year 1899. Since that time the Iowan has engaged in 331 matches, not counting many minor affairs, and of this number he lost only seven, five of them being handicap matches, in which he failed to throw his man as many times as he agreed. Gotch practically became champion in 1906 when he defeated Tom Jenkins at Kansas City. Jenkins was then considered the best in the country. Among other well known wrestlers whom Gotch has mastered may be mentioned Duncan McMillan, Carl Pons, "Farmer" Burns, Jim Parr, Ed Atherton, Americus, Yankee Rodgers, Dr. Roller, Fred ,Beell, and Hjalmar Lundin. His greatest match was with George Hackenschmidt, when he won the championship three years ago. Gotch won without a fall, as Hackenschmidt gave up after 2 hours and 8 minutes of work , on the mat without any sign of a fall. All Around Athlete. There is probably no athlete in the world with a greater reputation than George Hackenschmidt. Previous to taking up wrestling he was considered the strongest man in Europe, and he was also one of the greatest athletes in all-around work. His first notable mat contest was with Paul Pons, at that time the Grasco-Roman champion of the world. Hackenschmidt won the match in 46 minutes. His success determined him to become a professional wrestler. In the succeeding years he defeated all the best men in Europe, without any apparent trouble. One of the most exciting matches he ever had was when he met Madrali, the "Terrible Turk," with an unbeaten record. The match was for the world's championship. Notwithstanding the great strength and weight of the Turk, Hackenschmidt defeated him in just 44 seconds. Not until he met Frank Gotch did the big Russian know the sting of defeat. Hackenschmidt acknowledges that Gotch is the cleverest man in the game, but he declares that in the coming match he will be able to undermine the strength of the champion with his far greater strength and in the end will be returned the winner. CHAUTAUQUA WILL CLEAR EXPENSES The opinion is now being generally entertained by those in charge of the Chautauqua, that the affair this year will probably pay for itself. Although this is not certain yet. C. W. Jordan, chairman of the program committee, says that if the weather continues fair on the closing day, so that a large attendance will be registered, enough tickets should be sold to make up the slight deficit now existing. Probably as much money has been taken in already as in past seasons, but the increased cost of the program this year has made the finances run close to the limit. HUNT BROTHERS OF DETROIT OFFICERS Circulars were received by the local police department this morning from the Detroit police asking for information concerning the whereabouts of Patrick and John Walpole, brothers of the late Lieut. Henry Walpole. of the Detroit police force. Both brothers are beneficiaries to the estate of the deceased. They are supposed to be in the west and to be employed on the railroad. A reward of $25 is offered for information about them.
