New York. He intends arranging
wrestling match with Joe Acton, and one
with Matsada SOrakichi, to take place in
Madison Square Garden in September,
both of which will create Juror in sport
ing circles.
Australian newspapers, just at hand,
show that the Hanlan-LaycOck match
was a screaming farce. The affair was
manipulated by gate-money speculator,
and rOwed on an out of the way course
from which the manager could fence out
the non-paying public. Beach, the actual
Australian champion, refused to compete
under such circumstances, and Laycock
was thrust forward as an eleventh-hour
substitute. He was in no sort of cOndi-
ton, and the Canadian padded home
ridiculously easy winner. Hanlan has
now been matched to row against Beach,
Aug. 16, over the usual championship
course, on the Parramatta river, and a
genuine race may be expected, although
1t is almost cartain that this Australian,
like all his predecessors, will finish second
to the worlds champion.
