WRESTLING MATCH M0DAYA EVENT Gotch and Hackenschmidt .Will Meet for World's 1 Title at Chicago. BATTLE OF MONSTERS Lovers of Sport All Over the Country Have Ey :s on This Big Mill. BY MONTY. CHICAGO, Sept. 2. "The event of ! the Century" Frank Gotch versus George Hackenschmidt Is the topic on every tongue in Chicago tonight. jThe eyes of all the sporting world are 'turned toward the White Sox ball I park, where these two great exponents of physical prowess In the '(world's history will battle for supremacy Monday at three In the afternoon and this western metropolis Is ! wrcstllng-mad. It will be a battle of monsterB, the 'clash of two veritable man-mountain marvels of speed, streiiKth and endurance; and a fight to the I'ipish. By sundown Monday, one of two things ' will be fact. A champion raised on a pedestal of glory and lauded as never before has a champion been lauded, , will have justlled the admiration that I has been his or he will have fallen 'before one of even greater prowess, and with him the pride of the American people. . Rooting For Gotch. For the entire country is wrapped 'up in the success of Frank Gotch the ; big, brawny, wonderful Iowa farmer. ;who has fought his way upwards by persistence and courage. Nor are the backers of the "Russian Lion" wanting, which are shown by the oddB that aro prevailing t might, Just two days before the big match even .money (and that despite Gotch's victory over the Russian in 1909. It is a new "Hack" that will step through the ropes on Labor, Day. His ! months of training in jsngiana nave given him added speed, weight, strength and stamina, and what is 'more, he has now -fully mastered the "catch-as-catch-can game. One of Gotcha arguments for a victory is that the Russian was brought up in the Greeco-Roman game. That argu- ' ment also works the other way. It 'can be used to explain Hack's defeat on the former occasion and to show how much ' difference his knowledge of the catch-as-catch can game will make. ! ; ' . .These men have trained for the match as never before have athletes trained. Their preparations can almost De saia to nave auieu irom iue uiue of their last meeting, nearly three years ago. Gotch claims the title of world's champion by virtue of his technical triumph over Hackenschmidt, when after three hours of wrestling ' without a fall, the Russian protested foul tactics by, Gotch and withdrew Tvhn th rln'lm va iHanllowpd. Ootch men realized mai experience wouiu Improve his rival and therefore has . . i a . . . . .1 arrivon in imr.ri.vo nimnpir. Worked Like Trojan. At Gotch's home town, Humboldt, I Iowa, he worked like a trojan. Every 'day he tossed about on .the mat with the foremost wrestlers of the country, '. among them such stars as Yusiff Rusjsane, Henry Ordmann, Jess Westerjgaard. .Joe Ropers, Charlie Olsen, I Fred Beall, Farmer Burns, Jib Asbell. jpomke Reimel, wth his ever-present j manager, Emll Klank. overseeing ev erythlng with his agle eye. Since the (champion broke up his Iowa camp and j came to his present quarters at the i Chicago Athletic Assorfatlon a week iaga he has taken things easier, aimlng toward furth-r mastery of the new holds he has invented to supplement 'the terrible toe-hold. 'Hackenschmidt has worked even i harder than Gotch. When he boarded the liner for England to start conditioning, he took with him Dr. I). F. (Roller, the Seattle physician-wrestler, l.who is believed to know more about 'Gotch's style than any other man: '.While his manager Jack Hurley, stayled behind him n this country to look after his interests, Hack toils away at ! his villa, "Falrhaven," at Shoreham, England. Besides Dr. Roller he work!ed against, the German champion, Adolph Ernst; Johann Kock, antoher -German mat artist, and "Dusty" Coleman, the famous English trainer of athletes. When he boarded the Olynv, ;ptc to come across the Atlantic, he ; was accompanied not only by all these, but added to his retinue the veteran ' Tom Jenkins. At New York, he was .joined by Americus. and Charlie Cutler entered Jnto Hack's training system when he arrived in this city and opened his gymnasium on the North Shore. He also brought along with him a special chef to rook his meals, and ten barrels of French spring wa, ter, not wishing to take any chances with a change of diet. I waylaid the big Russian in his North Shore establishment tonight. Just as he was contemplating an early visit with the "sand man," and asked him whether he was confident, v , Russian Confident. ' "Confident? Of course I am." and the Russian giant smiled blandly patting his enormous chest. '"No, no. do ' not ask me to set a figure on the time it will take me to beat Gotch. I am not . a rapid worker, but I should say that I will win two falls in less time than i was consumed in our first match. No, I ' would not say that I am going to win ' In straight falls.' He might get one; I cannot tell. But I will 'be tbe ultimate winner, you may be sure of that. "I never would have been insistent for a return meeting but for that confidence. I would have permitted the public to keep on guessing. "And another thing you may be certain of. Gotch will never trip me Into

a qutc fall the way he did before. Fm J

ready for all thac sort of work. "Yes, I will admit that perhaps he is the fastest man, but I am far the stronger and have superior endurance. I think that tells the story of how I feel about this match. "It will be my chier aim to redeem myself in the eyes of the American people for all that has gone before. The Russian confidence, of the simple plain foreign mannc that is all his own, is contrasted in a unique way by that of Gotch. Although the champion does not say It will be a "cinch," he leaves you the impression that that is hla opinion. He talktd",1 that way tonight v-hen I dropped In on him at the Chicago, A. A., after having my last look at Haskenseninid. Plans Quick Finish. Remembering the terrible strain of his long match with Hack In Chicago three years ago and that strength, confidence, the snap, ebbs . as the match draws on, Gotch declared that he was planning on a quick finish to the match. Instead of tugging with his opponent and trying to find out. just what his strength and present knowledge of the game is, Gotch is going right in from the jump to bring hora-e a -victory. He does not say he will try the same trick that he worked on Zbysco In gaining the irst fall, but he says he has a better and more effective one and one into which Hack will surely fall. If confidencennd the perfection of condition will tarry any on through to victory Gotch has as good as retained his title of champion wrestler of the world. A defeat at the hand's of Hackenschmidt would be the greatest surprise the Iowa farmer ever has experienced in his mat career. But when he enters the ring to grappel with the huge Russian, Gotch does so confident that he will be returned the victor whether It takes him only a few minutes or if the struggle is prolonged for hours. One thing can be put down here and that is that the champion means to terminate the battle just as quickly as he can. Complete New Rules. Complete new rules will govern the Gotch-Hack match. The new rules were made necessary by the fact that there was not a single set of rules in print that completely covers a match of this importance. The new rules were drawn up by a committee of wrestling experts, submitted to both principals, and after severa! alterations, approv ed by both. It Is expected they will in future be used to govern all wrestling contests of whatever importance. The old imperfect rules left practically every point to the Judgment of the ref eree. In the new set, all of the limita tions are rough work, etc, are defined. In many respects the event of Mon day will be not unlike to "that little affair at Reno" fourteen months ago. The celebrities will be there en masse as on the other occasion, special trainloads of sports are coming or have come, and tne arrangements ror ac commpdations of the crowd border on the colossal. President Silvy Ferretti, of the Empire Athletic club, which is staging the match, declared tonight that he has fixed things so that 40,000 persons can get a good view of every movement in the ring. During the day and evening I have run into bevies of prominent sporting characters who have come hundreds of miles especially to see the match. I encountered tht m on street corners, in hotel corridors and in short, every other kind of place where you would be likely to find a sporting, and Manager Bettlson of the National Sporting Club of London were "fanning" genially with Billy Muldoon, the celebrated physical culture expert, and Harry Pollock, the New York Bport authority, when I came upon them. The two Englishmen were drawn clear acVoss the ocean and half of this continent by the magnet attraction. H. H. Frazee, the theatrical magnet, who once proposed a world tour for Jeffries and his camp in the event of a victory over Johnson was another. Paul Armstrong the play-wrlght and pioneer sport wri ter, was also well to the fore with his jovial good nature and keen humour. Other dignitaries on hand represent the "higher walks" judges, poets, congressmen etc. They are all talking "about the ev ent of the century." PARKS TOJJJFAYEATE Manager of Gennett Accepts New Position. The Gennett theater is to have a new manager. Mr. Ora Parks, who handled the affairs at the Gennett during the season of 1909, and who has been in charge for the past several weeks, left last night to assume the position of manager of the "Ney Dryfus" theater in Lafayette, Ind. This theater is a new play-house, and is thoroughly up to date. Mr. Murray, the lessee of the Gennett, ban not decided on a successor to Mr. Parks, and none may be named for some time. It is probable that Mr. Murray himself will assume control of the show-house for a while at least. Thought It Was ChNW. The serious minded girl at tbe summer hotel had just got acquainted with the latest male arrival. Instead of talking about something Interesting, she tried to draw him into a discussion on ethics. He listened gravely while she discussed Schopenhauer and Kant Finally she asked. "Do yon agree with Spinoza?" He brightened up at that. -It's a funny way to put It," be laughed. "I suppose you mean does Spinoza agree with me. No. I 'can't say it does. These Imported cheeses make me sick, but I'm fond of York tat. Do you like deviled crabs 7" Boston Traveler.

Henri Bourassa, leader of the Nationalists, who are. allied with the conservatives in fighting reciprocity, is completely disabled, having lost his voice. R. L. Borden, leader of the opposition is so hoarse that he can scarcely be heard and the whole anti-reciprocity campaign seems to be breaking down. The Ottawa Evening Journal which for several months supported reclprocity,but suddenly changed a few weeks ago, makes a savage attack today on American papers that are active in support of reciprocity and especially for i the stories printed about corruption .fund raised in the states to forwardireciprocity.

PHILLIPS TELLS OF

MARKETING OF EGGS Purdue Expert Gives Opinv . ion on Very Much Ag-. itated Question. BY A. G. PHILIPS. Poultry Department Purdue Univ. LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 2. There has been considerable agitation late ly concerning the present methods that have been suggested for marketing eggs. Buyers and grocers have been complaining, as have also many farmers and producers, each claiming that the other one is not playing fair, and that they rnut therefore fall back to the old method of buying eggs "case count," ot at the rate of so much per dozen, regardless of quality. People Have Wrong Attitude. This is 'an entirely wrong attitude to take and by looking at it from this standpoint there will never be any improvement in the Indiana market egg. There has never been any change of any kind in the history of the world that. was not objected to by some one, and it generally took some time before everyone could look at it from the same view pojnt. If everyone interested in the buying and selling of eggs would remember that there is only one fair way to buy and sell eggs, a years experience would show that it is just as easy to buy and sell on a "loss off" or grading basis, as by any other method. Years ago cream was bought without grading. Today the grading system is universally used. The change from the old to new way caused objections to be raised by some people, but now both producer and buyer seem satisfied with this method. Farmers Lose Money. - Figures and statistics seem to show that about 17 per cent, of the eggs brought upon the Indiana market are not the best grade of eggs, but are rotten, stale, dirty, small, cracked, etc., meaning a loss, of around two million dollars. This loss is paid by the farmer. A loss anywhere near this amount compels an improvement in pur present methods of marketing, and consequently those interested in better eggs have been advocating and hoping for a system of grading. Many buyers of eggs claim that the farmer or producer objects to his candling out, and either returning or placing as seconds, all eggs that are not fre6h, clean, full, good sized, and sound. Any buyer that will do this is doing what is not only fair, but also right. This statement can be looked at from three standpoints. Grading Is a Fair Method. The -first standpoint is that of the law which prohibits anyone from sell ing bad eggs. In order that the small or large buyer shall prevent having on his hands, eggs unfit for food, he must keep from buying them in the first place. - The one way for him to be sure of this fact is to can die them. The second standpoint is that of fair dealing, honesty, and a desire to provide for the consumer an article that is first class. Many producers of foodstuffs forget that the health of the people depends upon the quality of their produce. The third standpoint is the financial one. It is impossiblefor the honest farmer to make more from his eggs at "case count" prices than with "loss off" prices. The reason for this is that the buyer when submitting a "case count" price, figured on the percent of undesirable eggs that will come in, and consequently quotes the price low enough to meet this loss. Thus the man with all fresh eggs is compelled to take the same price as the man who sells some undesirable ones. "Loss off prices range from 2c to 3c above "case count" prices, and if a farmer kept 150 hens which produced an average of 100 eggs per hen, per year, an increase of 2c per dozen would mean an added profit of ?25 yer year. Need No Consideration. The dishonest farmer who has been bringing to the market eggs found in stolen nests, taken from incubators, etq,, does not need any consideration from the buyer or inspector. In the past farmers have asked for an incentive to sell good eggs only, and with the chance now partially offered, they should grasp' at it and endeavor to help improve conditions. During the past many producers have been in the habit of bringing, unthinkingly, all the eggs that they did not eat or hatch. They received s6mething for these, and to have some of them turned back as undesirable, makes them feel dissatisfied. Honest producers who do this, do it unthinkingly, and in time will be Willing to help the willing buyer or compel the unwilling one. 11 Marketing the Eggs. It is not necessary to candle good eggs, before taking them to market. If they have been given every possible care, there need be no necessity, by the farmer, to take the time to test them, before ' sending them to market. In summer time all eggs marketed should be infertile. Such a condition can only exist after the males have been removed from - the flocks. All houses and nests should be clean. The eggs should be kept in cool, clean, dry places, and placed there immediately after gathering. - If the weather is extremely hot they should be marketed as soon as possible, for the germ .of the egg will begin to delop between 70 and SO degrees. If any farmer is in doubt concerning his eggs,- he should then candle them, sending to market only the fresh eggs that present a clear outline before the candle, and possess a small air cell. Every fanner " with eggs to sell should work hand In hand with the huckster, grocer, or buyer and show him that he desires to sell and market good eggs only, and wishes to have them bought upon a grade basis. If a nearby buyer will not

agree to do this, there are today plenty of concerns who will bid and pay for good eggs upon a grade basis. The egg condition as it exists today cannot be improved or changed in a few days, and maybe not even in one season, consequently those interested should not be discouraged at their first attempts to improve he Indiana egg. . . . .

WRESTLERS ARE 111 , GREAT CONDITION Gotch and Russian Lion Are Not Over-confident of Success in Match. (National News Association) CHICAGO, Sept. 2. Frank Gotch. champion wrestler of the world, who will defend his title against George Hackenschmidt on Labor Day, sur prised his ndmirers here today by his remarkable exhibition of the results of his training. Although he has dropped work, he displayed his 'condition to friends at his temporary train ing quarters and declared that he never had taken so much pains to work out for a match before in his career. Gotch knows that the match with Hackenschmidt is the hardest he ever tackled. He admitted it to newspa per writers and declared that he be lieved the match would be won on stamina alone. The champion, after a brief workout in which he developed surprising speed, breathed normally and easily. Hackenschmidt had quit his training and is resting for the final effort on Monday where he will lose or win a championship. The big Russian is not without his followers and bets on the match are being made at even money in a good many cases while the accepted odds range from 4 to 5 to 9 to 10. SOBSRIPTIOUS FOR HEW PARKPAYABLE C. W. Jordan Elected Secretary by Directors and .fold to Push Work. The directors of the new Richmond Lake and Park Company held a meeting at the Commercial Club rooms yesterday afternoon. ; The principal business of the, gathering was the se lection of a secretary, the appoint ment of a committee to confer with the city authorities on various matters and a general discussion of the com' pany's project. Mr. Charles W. Jordan, who has been acting in the capacity of temporary secretary for the organization, was unanimously chosen as the permanent secretary. He was then instructed to proceed with the work of collecting the first installment of payment for the stock, so that work can be soon com' menced on the dam, and were unan imous in their belief that it would have to be completed before long, so that the prospective purchasers of lots will be able to make a good selec tion. The officers will hold several consultations with hydraulic engineers to from their plans for the work, and as soon as they decide who will have the contract for the dam, they will at once collaborate with Mr. Charles, the city engineer, in starting the work. A committee was appointed to con fer with the city authorities and es pecially with the board of works, con cerning the dam, and the whole project in general. Richard Sedgwick was named as the first member of this committee, and the other members are to be H. R. Robinson, the president of the company, and A. M. Gardner. The proposition of selecting the name for the park was not considered, as it ie planned to take this matter up at the next meeting of the stockholders, and settle the dispute by a mapority vote. THE FINAL POSE. H Made the Thing Harmonious and Complete All Around. In the early days of traveling by stagecoach across the Rocky moun tains the trip was likely to be relieved of monotony by incidents of no ordinary occurrence. But the fatigue of the journey was apt to wear upon the nerves of the weak and the timid. Sometimes the passengers became so worn out as to lead to a suspicion of their sanity. The" Right Rev. D. S. Turtle in bis "Reminiscences of a Missionary Bishop" describes an instance In point. One forenoon the coach rolled into Denver, and the six horses came pranc ing up to the office of Wells, Fargo & Co. A large .crowd was assembled, as the incoming and the outgoing of tbe daily coaches vere the great events for the town. At the stop the only passenger qulckly.threw open tbe coach door, leaped to the ground, ran hurriedly across the street and, turning a , handspring, stood on his head with bis heels up against a supporting wall. Several men followed him, quite sure that here was another passenger craz ed by the long, sleepless ride. One said to him In a tone of sympathy, "Why. cap'n. what's the matter?" Slowly coming to a right side up posture, tbe man answered: "Well, my friend. Ill tell you what it is. This standing on my head is the only posi tion which I haven't been in during the last twenty-four hours in yonder coach, and I wanted to make tbe thing harmonious and complete all round.'' Germany imports immense quanti ties of crushed oyster shells from Eng land every year for poultry feed.

BOARD WILL DRAFT A WATER CONTRACT At Semi-secret Sessions Administration Will Plan a Working Basis.

Mayor Zimmerman stated yesterday afternoon, that within two weeks some definite decision would be reached in the water works question. He said that the board of public works would have several meetings, at which the matter would be discussed and a report would 'then be made ot the city council. These meetings," the mayor says. will be secret, but the public will know just what has been done. The board has decided, he says, to draft a contract of its own. The mayor declares that this is the only feasible method to employ in order to arrive at some decision. A plan will be formulated in the shape of a proposal, which will include everything which the city is anxious of having incorporated in a water works franchise. It is the mayor's idea, then, to ask for new bids on the board's proposal, in case both bids now under consideration are rejected. "If we had taken this matter up in our meetings we would have been through with it by this time," said Mayor Zimmerman. "As it is now we have gone too far with public meetings, where there was much time wasted." To the question as to whether he had adandoned his pet bobby of muni cipal ownership of the water works plant he declared that he had not. He asserted that the city could not buy the plant at this time but it is his plan to establish a sinking fund for the purchase of the plant. IN A CHINESE BANK. The Way the Clerks Use the Abacus and Counting Boards. The Chinese have a way of getting hold of the first principles of things. even though they may not have developed them into elaborate and scientific systems. A foreigner, especially if he be of prepossessing appearance, is received with great civility at a Chinese bank. "Schroff r shouts the head clerk. This word is not, as it sounds, German, but a corruption of Hindoo "sarraf," or banker's assistant. In response to this call a native cashier appears, noiseless and def.ciential, with a smooth shaven skull, a four foot pigtail and a spot less, flowing garment. With great rapidity he will make an exchange of notes, doIng.Jils calculat ing on a abacus, a frame of "wire and beads similar to those used in country schools everywhere years ago. Hi3 long, lithe fingers move over the beads more quickly than the eye can follow, but there's no mistake In the total. Perhaps the visitor will want a large piece of money changed into small coln. Instead of going through the wearisome operation of counting out tbe 300 pieces included In this trans action a simple, ingenious device is employed. A flat wooden tray is pro duced containing a hundred recesses. each just big enough to lodge one coin and just shallow enough to prevent the possibility of two lurking together. The pile of small coins is poured out on this tray, and with one jerk of the clerk's wrist the hundred recesses are filled and the surplus swept off. Har per's Weekly. A Bit of Correspondence. Tho following correspondence, ending in true Irish fashion, actually passed between two men In England some rears ago: "Mr. Thompson presents his compliments to Mr. Simpson and begs to, request that he will keep his doggs from trespassing on his grounds." "Mr. Simpson presents his compliments to Mr. Thompson and begs to suggest that in future he should not spell 'dogs' with two gees." "Mr. Thompson's respects to Mr. Simpson and will feel obliged if he will add the letter 'e' to the last word in the note just received, so as to represent Mr. Simpson and lady." "Mr. Simpson returns Mr. Thompson's note unopened, the impertinence it contains being only equaled by its vulgarity." Ho Got the Book. Bishop Doane used to tell the following story on himself : "Dr. Poane." said a parishioner at the end of a service. "I enjoyed your sermon this morning. I welcomed it like an old friend. I have, you know, a book at home containing every word of It." "Tou have not." said Dr. Doane. "I have so, said the parishioner. "Well, send that book to me. I'd like to see it. "111 send it. was the reply. Tiie.next morning an unabridged dictionary was sent to tbe rector. Judge. - Quito 'Real. "And can't he act at all?". demanded HI Tragedy. "Well, upon occasion h" can," replied Lowe Comedy. "For instance, only today r saw him getting next to some free lunch, and b acted for all the world like a man who was starved to death."-Catholic Standard and Times. IB
