BOXING

The report coming from the east to the effect
that Frank Gotch of Humboldt, champion catch
as-catch hcan wrestler of America, is to start
for San Francisco to commence training with Kid
Mccoy for boxing match with Jim Jefries, Is
taken with several grains of salt by his friends
here They know that Frank has had longing
for the prize ring for several years but they
also know, and GOtch does too, that he is built
for great wrestler, not for a great boxer.
Gotch Is in a queer position At present he is
in the east, where he has been wrestling handi-
cap matches, being compelled to give heavy
odds in order to get anyone to tackle him. AS

We are authorized to announce the
FIGURES THAT MAY PRE-
VARICATE.

One who is shrewd to adapt fig
ures to his own uses may obtain
almost any sort of result from the
manipulation to which he may sub
ject them.
Republican managers and sooth-
sayers found in the returns from
the Maine and Vermont State cleo
tons warrant for self-congratula-
ton and bases for roseate political
forecasts that were extremely pleas
ing from their point of view, but
not more so to them than are the
later calculations with which Demo
cratic construers are regaling their
adherents.
For example it is found that the
returns from the Maine election in
dictate a Democratic gain of thirty
per cent against only fifteen per
cent Republican gain over the
returns of 1902, and the claim is
made that similar changes else
where would give New York to
Parker by a plurality of $1,000,
New Jersey by 5000 Rhode Island
by 5000. Maryland by 1900,
Nebraska by 5000 and Utah by
500. These, with the States car
RED by Bryan in 1900, would be
exactly enough to elect. In adj
dition, Delaware, West Virginia
and Indiana would be in doubt if
these percentages of gain were to
prevail The figures are not ap-
piled to Indiana, Illinois and Wis !
consin, where flfty-hve electoral |
votes are alleged to be in doubt and /
for which the fight IS to be most |
holly pressed. 1t IS easy, however, /
to figure out the probability of
Democratic success III each of these
States upon submitted hypothesis
in which local conditions figure
most prominently.
In Wisconsin, for example, the
Republican party is split III two.
There are two State tickets in the
field, each claiming to be regular
and each insisting on the privilege
of using the party designation.
One faction nominated a ticket
headed by the present Governor.
Another faction, supported by
United States Senators Spooner
and Quarles and by the National
party, nominated a ticket headed
by S. A. Cook. The latter faction
was recognized by the National
committee III the contest III Chicago
and was given representation in
the Nation convention. This fac
ton claimed the exclusive privilege
of the party designation by the
official courts. The arguments in
the Supreme Court were concluded
a few days ago and the case taken
under Amusement, a decision not
being expected before Tuesday of
next week. In the meantime it is
generally understood that, regard
less of the cou1t's decision, both
tickets will remain in the field,
but the Roosevelt and Fairbanks
electors and appear on only one
ticket. Democrats expect a gain
from this circumstance sufficient to
give Parker and Davis the State.

Iican managers are not less conf

One reason why an extra effort was
put forth TO secure $4,000 worth of sub

ton 10 securing an assurance of the
shops for Wichita, was to have the rail
way stand the expense of the special

it can be done much cheaper.
