Jack Carkeek announces that he will
take to the mat next season for tour of
the West and probably the East He
wanted 20 convince himself whether he
would be able to get in the proper condi-
ton again for wrestling and with that
end in vicy 20 ar, Qnged the match with
tn i'u-k. Tn >act that he was able
to 60 = hour ami Il half without being
WindCd against such a strong opponent
demonstrates that he i in as good shape
as ever. He says he Goes not want any
more of the Turks game, as there is not
a man N the country who can throw
the Turk, Unless he has as much weight
as the foreigner and is as clever. Car
keek says he has not the slightest doubt
but what he can defeat the Turk at Cor
nish style, but not at the others.
Many Of the spectators at the wres-
Ting match between Hall Adali and
Jack Carkeek wondered why the Turk
did not throw the local man sooner in
the GraecO-ROman contest, believing
that he could have done so had he tried
harder. Carkeek himself was surprised
at the manner in which the Turk took
his time, but says there is no doubt that
the Turk became convinced that he
could not throw him at Cornish style
and ran a chance of being thrown, and
sooner than take the chance of losing a
fall to anyone he prolonged the GraecO-
Roman bout and then declined to go Oh
in the Cornish style. This would ac-
count for the slow actions of the Turk
in the last bout, but people who have
seen him work before know he goes
about the mat in Il very slow and delb-
crate manner at all times.
The race in the Western league will
wax warm from now on, the teams
rounding into better form and also play
ing together more. Detroit and Kansas
City are tied for the first place while the
Saints and Milwaukee are tied for third
position. Buffalo and Indianapolis are
at the halfway mark with Columbus
and Minneapolis bringing up the rear.
Milwaukee has made good Roadway by
taking two Of the first games played
away from home and if Macks men can
do as well at st. Paul they will return
home in an excellent position. It is
hardly expected that the Brewers will
get a majority of the games at st. Paul;
they will do we'll to get an even break.
Minneapolis will no doubt pull up in the
race before long, as the team is strong
and bound to come to the front.
IN the National league the ST. Louis
and Philadelphia clubs are having q
merry race with Chicago laying we'll up
IN third place. Poor Cleveland and
Washington are waddling behind and APP
pear stranded III the rear of the bunch.
Brooklyn, Cincinnati and Boston are all
within striking distance and are liable
to jump to the fore at any time. The
Phlllles will bear watching. The stand
