Congressman Champ Clark Once
Wichita Dweller
Again Visits the Scene of His
Brief Residence.
RELATES EXPERIENCE.
Reached the City GrasshOpper
Year Without Money.
Given $25 For Writing a Speech
and Left Immediately.

Wichita, June 30.-Champ Clark, the
well known Democratic congressman of
Missouri, was here Friday on his way to
Winfield to address the Chautauqua as
sembly He stopped over here to visit
Kos Harris and Ed Vail, who are old
friends.
While it is not generally known Mr..
Clark was once a resident of Wichita.
He graduated from the law school OF
the Kentucky university in 1875. and
came direct to Wichita. He remained
here just eleven weeks and then re-
moved to Missouri where he has since
lived.
Mr.. Clark is inclined to view his
Wichita experience in a rather humor-
Gus light In speaking of the matter
he said:
the grasshoppers had devastated the
country the year before and were on
their return trip to eat up everything
they had missed on their first incursion-
Things were frightfully dull People
would stand on the streets with smoked
glass looking for clouds of grasshoppers
in the air. AS L was a tenderfoot this
was rather discouraging and racking on
my nerves Everyone in town, which
then had a population Of 1000 or 5,OOO,
wanted to get away and none more so
than l. The trouble was that l had
landed here broke and did not admire
the walking. One day received a let
ter from a student in the Kentucky IN
iversity enclosing $25 and asking me to
write him a speech. I left town the next
night. Kos Harris accompanied me to
the train and begged me to stay, saying
that we would both get rich. 1 would
not listen to him. I am not rich yet
and don't know how Harris is fixed.
There has been a great change in
Wichita. Even in 1875 it was predicted
it would become a large city and the
men of those days We're better prophets
than they knew. I did not know the
town at ALL The only two buildings I
recognized were the Occidental hotel
and the old F'raker bank building on the
corner of First and Main streets"
Mr. Clark will occupy lecture plat
form at Winfield today with Congress-
man Lands of Indiana, while on Sun
day he will lecture alone He has wide
reputation a platform speaker and is
much in demand.

Rubin Tells How He Won His

Own Rushing Game.

BIT NERVOUS AT START
Washed Down Supper With Six
Quarts of Buttermilk.

New York, June 3O.-Gus Rubin gave
today the story of how he defeated
Sharkey. He said:
Il beat Sharkey at his own game. 1t
was his intention to rush me from the
start and try to whip me quickly, but
when he found I was always ready for
him he decided to wear me out by
clinching and throwing his bulky weight
upon my shoulders. He thought he could
tire me by those tactics. but not once
did I feel in danger. When I entered the
ring had in mind that one punch round
when Sharkey put me out. 1 was rath-
er nervous This was more from my de-
sire to finish Sharkey than anything
else But after the third round I had
sized my man up and felt more conf
dent. was certain that by being eau
tious would eventually put Sharkey to
sleep.
In the opening rounds I did little
leading. 1 simply worked to find out
his weak points, and where a blow
would have the most effect. 1 discover
ed that the sailor lacked any great SCI
ence and that a blow in the head wor-
ried him much more than when reachT
ed his body This assured me that
could jab him repeatedly without any
great danger.
"sharkey at the start evidently
thought he had a cinch. He worked
like a beaver but his blows either went
wild or had no effect when they landed.
Up to the eighth round he was rough
at times and caused me much annoy
ance. 1 could have finished him at any
time but, as [ said before, I was not
leaving myself open to any lucky punch
The last half OF the fight was all mine.
When Sharkey came to the center [ was
on to his bluff rushes and either side
stepped him and swung my right or
oil sv,, hi, 49, do
ser. Our next match will be even more
decisive.
IF I defeat Jeffries then I will be
ready to meet all comers.''
Thomas Sharkey is after a return
match with his conqueror, Gus Rubin.
still believes that he can whip Rubin in
another battle and offers to wager 81, 500
on the result Sharkey says that, as he
gave Rubin a chance after putting him
out in one round the westerner should
accord him the same consideration. If
Rubin does not want to meet him again
Sharkey is willing to match Bob Arm
strong against the Akron giant and bet
81, 500 that Armstrong win win.
Tom O'ROurke attributes Sharkey's
defeat to too much training. He said
that after the men had gone five rounds
at COney Island Tuesday he went to
pieces and did not have the necessary
strength to land an effective lead.
Sharkey, except for his bruised face, is
in good condition. He was seen at his
! home at Sheepshead Bay. He was told
that there was a story travelling that he
! had died during the night. He laughed
and said:
Il never felt better in my life I am
not sick. just ate a good supper and
I washed it down with six quarts of
| fresh buttermilk. That does not sound
like dead man, does it? I want to
fight Rubin again. believe that I can
whip him.
