Manager Weiss Finds It Difficult to
Get Men to Go Against Grant,

Manager Weiss the wrestling mana eer
and handler of Joe Grant. reached Wash
irgton yesterday on his way home to Bal
timore. He has been. down south for the
past two weeks trying to secure wrestlers
to go against Grant IN a finish match, but
he failed In his purpose. as Joe's reputa-
ton has Travelled and he - considered one
of the best in the country at his weight
Mr.. Weiss will hold another wrestling
tournament the latter part of this month at
Odd Fellows Hall. and is in negotiation with
several crack men to meet Grant In a fin
ish match. One of these is Robert Hainas,
the welter-weight champion of this coun-
try. and who at present is in News Orleans,
and another is Tom Riley. lightweight
champion of England, who has taken on
considerable avoirdupois and is almost in
the welter class. One of these men will
probably go against Grant.
1t is Manager Weiss intention to cut out
handicap matches in the future and have
them all to a finish. the man doing the best
work inside of an hour without gaining. a
ran TO get the prize. He is particularly de-
Sirous OF getting two Washington amateurs
together for preliminary at the next tour
ney and would like to have the men repre-
sent the different athletic clubs. They
must weigh not over 135 pounds and for
inns event he Will hand up a costly gold
medal.
Harvey Parker, the accredited champion
or this country. is in New York, and will
reach this city about the last week of this
month. He has been telling the New York
papers that he is anxious to meet Joe
Grant as he says the Washington boy
looks to be the strongest man in his class
and as Manager Weiss has a world of con-
rdence IN his protege. the chances are that
these two experts may be matched in No.
Vember Grant knows that to defeat Par
ker will place him on the top rung of the
Ladder in the wrestling world. and he can

his life If the match is arranged

New Stick Needed

That we are not yet equal to English
golfers Is generally admitted, and in the
attempt to equalize matters it is not we'll
to neglect any advice, no matter whence 1t
may come. golfer who modestly hides
his identity by posing in the Chicago News
as "well-known veteran" thinks "a new
stick is needed" If we play the game as
he thinks we do, he is not very far wrong,
and the sooner We mend our ways the bet
ter. He says: Take, for instance the
sticks we use on the approach. Most of us
use either mashie or a niblick." 1t would
seem that the golfer who is in the habit of
using niblick for his approach shots was
somewhat past hope. Speaking Of the ideal
club. well-known veteran" says: IF some
ciubmaker would shape one a little lighter,
with Il shorter shaft than the niblick. and
have the face about the same slant as with
the mashie, but cut off section of the
base, making the angle between the foot
and the face somewhat larger, and retain
the length and width of the mashie, 1 am
of the opinion that he would find a ready
sale for the club" Armed with this new
club, and ceasing to approach with our
niblicks, better days are evidently in store
for American golf.

Good Word for the Senators and Their
Backers.

From Sporting News.
The writer who started the stories that
"the players of the Washington club have
been notified in semi-official way that
the nations capital will not be in the
American League circuit next season." and
that almost every one Of them Is looking
for an opportunity to get with some other
club" will be ashamed of himself before
next spring. The American League will
have team in Washington In 1904 and II
the plans President Johnson and Manager
LOTUS have made go through the Senators
will not be the next tail-enders. The trans
fer story was spoiled by the absurd state
ment that the players had been notified In
semi-oficia1 way" and they were looking
for other berths. If change of cities were
contemplated the players under reservation
would not be released, but would be trans
ferred In body. Building up a ball club
requires time, and players OF ability are not
given tips to find employment with another
club. In these days of peace the title to
talent is perfect, and If the owners of the
W ashington club were disposed to sell their
players small fortune could be realized.
L he prices would range from 500 UP. Man
ager LOTUS has probably advised several of
the senators that they will have to submit
to reduction in salary next season. A
$1,000 outf1elder will have to earn every dol
lar he draws In 1904. and he will have to
improve great deal on his 1903 record TO
be worth half that sum next year. The
sensational newspaper writer's will not help
or hinder Manager Lotus in giving Wash
ington better team. He is working while
they are guessing. and in due season an
nouncements of a surprising and pleasing
nature will be made to the base bail public
of Washington.

BANNER YEAR,

- President Pulliam.


Harry Pulliam, president of the National
League. arrived in Boston Sunday even

where the Pittsburgs are resting prepara-
tory to today's battle with the Bostons.
MIR. Pulliam was willing to talk on base
ball. says the Boston Herald, as he said
the National League was pleased with the
past season In every way. He further said .
Twenty five per cent more persons saw
games In the National than ever before in
the eight clubs history
More people, saw Pittsburg play this
year than ever before, not only In Pittsburg,

Mr.. Puliam.
The league went terribly into debt when
the circuit was reduced from twelve clubs

hanging over the organization, but ii is
now my pleasure to announce with the

HIGH-CLASS TRoTTING..
Billy Buck Captured the Rich Walnut
Hill Cup and Stake,

The Walnut Hill cup, carrying with It a
beautiful silver trophy valued at $500, the

average three heats trotted in race this
year.
The judges scented a job in the 2.14 trot.
in which the sharpshooters lit on Oracle

latter won the first two heats, and then the
good thing came and took the next two.
The judges, however, for the fifth heat took

Gem, substituting Scott Hudson and Gray
Gem then won the heat and race. At the
conclusion Of the race the judges suspended
Driver Mcdonald and the gelding Gray
