.GOTCH MAY MEET
HIS WATERLOO
IOWA WRESTLER MATCHED WITH
DAN MCLEOD.
Speedy Scot the Most Formidable
Opponent Who Has Faced the
Humboldt Man-Gotch Won from
"Brummagem Parr'' in Match at
Buffalo.

Special to The Journal.
Humboldt, Iowa, July 15.-Frank A.
Gotch, champion catch-as- -catch-can
wrestler of America, returned here this
week after a months wrestling trip east.
The greater part of his time was spent in
Buffalo, where he had two important
wrestles. He agreed to throw Clarence
Bouldin, better known as the Cuban
Wonder twice in an hour. He was able
to throw him once and started for the
second fall when time was called. Gotch
outweighed him by many pounds.
The most important bout was with
James Parr, champion catch-as- catch can
wrestler of England but a second-rater
on this side. Parr is a favorite in Buffalo,
where the match was held, and had
bOaSted before the go that he would make
Gotch look like 80 cents. Gotch won the
best two falls in three, Parr getting none,
In about fifty minutes for the two. Gotch
gave the eastern people a great exhibition.
They were much surprised at his work and
became his admirers. The papers spoke
of him as a wonderful wrestler. The thing
which surprised them most was his un-
assuming manner and friendly spirit.
| Frank, as his friends know him, left
tonight for the west in response to tel
egrdm from his manager, stating that he
had arranged for a match with Dan Nc
Leod, who is well known all over the
! United States as wrestler. Mcleod has
Deen going over the same ground which
Gotch covered last year in his wrestling
tour. He has defeated many of the same
wrestlers Gotch won from, in considera-
bly, less time, which has caused Mcleod
to think that he could possibly win from
Gotch. The match will take place at
Vancouver, B. c.. where a sporting club
has put up q large purse in order to have
the men come there. The date set is
Aug. Z. Gotch will train In Washington.
and will wrestle handicap match with
man in that section as a preliminary

tennis is far superior to golf as form
Of exercise. altho it may be truly said to
be more violent. There is a dash and

found in golf and this may account for
its popularity. Golf is a slow. methodi-
cal, altho fascinating, form Of outdoor
sport and cannot be denied as one Of the
quicker action, quicker thought and great
er accuracy in tight pinches, where speed
is an essential. Golf is a game possible
for those to whom tennis Is denied, and
will never lose its popularity. The hold

ing among local yachtsmen that they
would like to have seen Wihuja contest
with the other trial horses in Canadian
waters. Wihuja is about as fast boat
as has ever been produced In the north
west and in the stiff winds Of the north
east 1t is believed that she would have
made a better showing than that made in
our inland lakes. There is no question but
that she was fairly beaten by the White
Bear yachtsmen, but the feeling remains
that the Wihuja might have outfooted the
other boats in the Canadian waters. It's
all over now but the race and Minneapo-
lis yachtsmen are good enough sportsmen
to wish to see the cup come to the White
Bear club.

BOXING CLUBS DIsFAvoRED
"Crying Need of Humanity Is Not
More Skill in Fighting.

To the Sporting Editor of The Journal.
A writer in last Saturday evenings Journal
wants to know if he is right regarding boxing
matches to be held under the supervision of the
general character of the boxing game, not very
fattering to those who take part in them. He
says there is a determined effort on foot TO
revive interest in boxing in Minnesota. He says
that when the state shall authorize high-priced
and respectable bouts 1t will have tendency to
do away with the sneak bouts and saloon
scraps. He says the boxing game cannot be
protected and encouraged by legislation and
authorized by the state.
In my opinion the writer answers his own ques-
tion enlphatically in the negative. And l most
heartily agree with him in the latter half of
whole scheme should be knocked in the head
The crying need of humanity is not more skill
in fighting. If the gilded youth of the cities
have surplus wealth and energy let them employ
it in nobler cause. They will find enough to
do and better reward. "A. Garborg.

Am I Right :?

OLOWLY but surely the followers of
- baseball Of Minneapolis are coming
around to the view that the game OF
baseball has progressed beyond the ''hut
and rum stage. The local American as
sociation team is not a heavy hitting club.
There Is, in fact, but one heavy hitter on
the team, and that Is Arthur Coulter. The
team has been playing the bunt game and
has been winning ball games with a
pleasing regularity. The game of Thursday
was as fast an exhibition Of the bunt
game as would be wished.
BY the bunt game is meant filling the
bases with short drives in the infeld.
Thursday afternoon, after the Indianapolis
players had found themselves powerless to
hit the curves of Ford with telling force,
they turned to the drop hit act, and
scored. Five men in a row dropped the
ball in such a manner as to reach first
base, altho one man was forced out at
the plate. Minneapolis players followed
suit. Watkins coached the players to
''get on by bunts and when two men
were safe, Freeman was told to knock the
ball as far as possible. He made a two
Dagger and Minneapolis scored. Success
camo in the ninth inning thru the same
tactics.
The day has gone for hitting the ball
a mile.'' Pitchers now have almost every
thing In their favor, including the foul
strike rule Present day pitchers throw
with an accuracy which is battling to
batsmen. They cut the corners Of the plate
with a maddening persistency which
causes the batsmen to swing at every
thing which looks as tho 1t would break
across the rubber. AS "a result they claw
at wild ones and when they do hit it, roll
the ball around the field for the transfer
to first. They knock high flies, and such
performances are just what the pitchers
are working for. The natural hitters''
are few and far between. Coulter is the
only one on the local team. Hogriever Of
Indianapolis is another. Wrigley and
| Lefty Davis are hitters Of this class,
and st. Paul has one in Kelly, or rather
can claim admission to the class. These
men are handy after the bases have been
filled with batsmen. Baseball grows more
scientific every year and the clever bunter
Is of more value than the man who can
hit the ball every time up, but who sends
out long flies or infield rollers. Watkins
Is slowly developing a team Of bunters
and with about one more piledriver artist
in the lineup Minneapolis should win seven
out Of every ten games played in the as
