JOHN V0SS CHALLENGES
klANk TO MAT MEETING
Rock Island Wrestler is'WiIIins to
Bet $50 That He Can Win
The Match.

The Rockford Republic is in receipt
of the following letter of challenge
from John Voss, the Rock Island
wrestler:
"A friend of mine told me that Emil
Klank was back in Rockford last Oc-
to5er and that he done a lot of brag-
ging about what he would if ever he
got me on the mat with him. Lundin
offered to back me against Klank and
Mr.. Klank got out of town in a hurry.
He didn't even stay TO see the match
between Lundin and myself; he was
afraid that the audience might call
upon him TO accept my challenge. Now
klank may be a good wrestler. but
don't think much of a man that will
do lot of blowing and then run away.
Now | haven't got much money to
spare. but l will bet $50 that I can
beat Klank at his own style of wrest-
observation-disclosures. There is club
here in Rock Island that will put up
a purse of 5000 to the winner, il the
match is pulled off in Rock Island.
Now if Mr.. Klank wants to wrestle let
him stop his Dragging and accept this
challenge.
Thanking you in advance for space
in your paper, JOHN VOSS"

CORBETT AND NELSON TO
MEET TONIGHT At FRISCO
Denver Lad is Strong Favorite, But is
Having Trouble in Getting
Down to Weight.

There is keen interest in the fight
between Young Corbett and Battling
Nelson tonight at San Francisco, but
thus far the betting. at 10 to 6. with
Corbett the favorite. has been light. as
Nelson supporters declare the odds
should be to 1.
1t looks as if there would be heavy
short end plunging today should the
odds go to this figure.
Young Corbett lowered around 1873
pounds and Nelson was at 131 pounds
Sunday night. Yesterday morning
there was a shade nearer the limit in
the scale test of each, and sc hours of
liquid abstinence staring them in the
face. Corbett's temper reaches the
danger point when water is shut off.
but it is the only way. and he has
promised himself not to be petulant.
He will take his spongeful of moisture
when Trainer Tuthill chooses to give
it to him. and be thankful that things
are no worse.
The champion yesterday contented
himself with couple of trips down
Engleside way and through the park
to keep the unwelcome flesh from
creeping back. He must continually
be on the move in his battle with the
scales, and he cannot rest to day, as he
would like. for fear of forfeiting the
$500 posted to guarantee his appear
ance at 6 o'clock weighing not more
than $50 pounds.
But the Denver lad is in magnificent
form, and as he has trained honestly
he ought to put up a great fight. He
is confident he can knock out the Dane
inside of 10 rounds.
Nelson is equally confident. as he
claims Corbett is no harder a PROPOSE
ton than Candle and Hanlon. Nelson
has been carefully trained and he will
go in for a waiting fight. but is ready
To mix it whenever Corbett wishes.
He calculates on wearing COrbett
down and then landing the punch.
The preliminary 15-round bout be-
tween Eddie Santry and Jack Cordell
ought to be nearly as interesting as
the main event. Santry is well-known
in the east, but Cordell has a good To-
cal reputation and is game and clever

ROCKFORD BILL
IS LENGTHY ONE
Ten Thousand Words in the Az.
plication for an Injunc.
ton
DATE OF HEARING NOT SET
President Holland Asks Advice of the
Directors Of the
League.

Ten thousand words were required
to set up the various charges which
the Rockford team had to make
against the president and board of
directors of the Three-Eye league.
Rockford wants in the league. and in
order to prevent being left in the COLI
an injunction is asked restraining the
formation of another league which
would not include the town which has
such a small attendance at baseball
games.
| The suit was filed at Bloomington
Saturday, and just when it will be
heard is a question hard to determine.
The league managers are confident
that the court will uphold the action
of the directors. and the little fuss
kicked up by Rockford will amount to
nothing.
With the possibility that Rockford
will win its contention, with the nee
essity for forming a ten-club circuit.
it will be necessary to adopt ten-club
schedule, and the eight-ciub produc-
tions will be useless.
II il is found that the suit will net
come to trial before the February
term, President Holland will likely
after the case is decided and thus
save unnecessary work. If it should
develop that the league was defeated
and Rockford readmitted. it would be
necessary To secure another club 20
balance. as Peoria can not be thrown
out. and the league would not wish
to do so.
To Wait For a Decision.
In the event that the tenth club IS
necessary, Danville, ILL.,. or Burlington.
Iowa, are the most promising candi-
dates. They would probably object
to entering the league in March, when
the best players were signed. This
would result in a poor club and small
attendance, with the necessity for the
league to carry the club throughout
the season. Altogether. the prospects
in the event that Rockford is success
fu;. are not very attractive. and the
league will no doubt do everything
possible to defea; the complainant
Employing Of Lawyers.
President Holland sent out circu-
lar letter asking for advice and CO.
operation in the event that the suit
was filed. He wished to know wheth-
er the league should employ one or
TWO lawyers. The litigation promises
to cost both the league and the Rock
ford association a large sum of mon
ey. and will have the effect of black
balling Rockford among the profess
sional clubs of the future.

Peculiar Phenomenon Occurs at

Been Due to Sympathetic Electric

Special to Times-Repubncax.


Webster City, Feb. 10. - A very
strange happening occurred at the CEN

Every clock in the building stopped a.
exactly O'Clock in the morning. 1t
was the day of the eruption on the
Island of Java and the time the clocks
STOPPED was Within a very few seconds
OF the ,time that the eruption occurred,
which covered village and killed sew
eral hundred people.
The phenomenon is unexplained ex-
cept that 1t was very likely due to some
sympathetic electrical disturbance in
the zone in which the high school
building stood. Yet this hardly ex-
plains lit satisfactorily. The phenome-
non was at first noticed on the Sec
ond floor of the building. Every clock
had stopped at Just O'clock. lnves-
tigation showed that the clocks on both
the other floors had also stopped Mt
the same hour. In uhe kindergarten
building. just south OF the high school

their movements As TO why no other
clocks In the city were affected, is not
explained. and the happening is a most
peculiar one.
