Smith IS well known among tug-of-
warsmen as being one Of the strongest men
In the State. and his opponent, who is a
remarkable athlete, has wonderful staying
qualities. Bakerltch was the best shot and
weight putter the Olympic Club ever pro-

the colonies On account of the easy way In
which he "downed" Ned Pickup, the local
champion. Bis only hope of further con-
quests is in meeting big Professor Miller at
Gi&co-Roman style. Miller weighs 24O
pounds, and Mcleod is afraid that IL the
big fellow ever took a notion to remain on
