LINK TO WRESTLE
ON NEXT FRIDAY
Matched With 0bstreperous
Mike Curlander.
FIGHT THAT WASN'T FOUGHT
Too Much Talk by New Yorker Started
Shad on the Warpath-To
Meet Here.

Wrestling is to take a new lease on
life in Washington on Friday night at
Concordia Hal. when .Shad Link. Of
Baltimore. meets Mike Curlander. of
New York.
Curlander has the reputation of being
a good one, and has been against the
big men up through New York State m
a number of bouts One of his achieve
ments was the speedy overthrow of Max
Mueller, who told a long story here last
winter Of having been a wrestling part
ner of Hackenschmidt in the London
music halls. Mueller had quite repu-
tetion. but Curlander had the strength,
and the German took a sudden tumble
to himself and the mat in about three
minutes. Finding business rather duh
up New York way, CurIander dropped
into Baltimore to get match with
Link.
His method Of procedure was rather
mysterious. and he knocked around the
Monumental City some time before any
one could tell who he was or what he
wanted He bobbed up at uncertain In
tervals. flashed q roll with which he
said he would back himself, and then
disappeared for a while. Some of his
remarks about Link were decidedly I'M
complimentary. and Shad went to hunt
him up one night at a boxing match In
Highlandtown. but the inevitable kind
friends butted in to prevent scrap and
steered Shad in the wrong direction,
thus avoiding hostilities.
Called by Shad.
Curlander popped into shads young
life again Friday by putting in an APP
pearance around Shad's haunts and is
suing a few more odds and ends OF
challenges Shad arrived about that
time. hastily slipped his false teeth into
position so that he could talk instead
OF making noise like fish, and called
the bluff Curlander peartened up right
away. and said he would sign RICH
there for a match at any time. It was
found that it would be impossible TO
get booking before any of the Balti-
more clubs on short notice, and as
Curlander displayed feverish haste to
pocket Shad's money and hurry back
TO New York It was decided 10 hold the
bout in Washington next Friday.
Link is as much OF a favorite IN this
city as IL he were a resident here. and
IN his tirne-Iimit bouts with travelling
stars of the mat or IN regular engage
ments before clubs. has always had the
hearty support Of the Washington.
spectators. He is a grinly earnest ex-
ponent of the wrestling art who USED
to grit his teeth-that is, before they
were knocked out in the memorable
match with Joe O'Neil-and go ahead
all the time. Nowadays Re sucks his
gums and goes ahead as grimly as
ever He Is in excellent condition as
the result Of a trip he took through
the West, in which he met a number OF
good men and beat them all.

The Russian army In Manchuria is still to
have the services of General Kuropatkin,
who is considered by many. in spite of his
series of reverses. the best general and
foremost strategist OF the Russian army.
Sinking all feeling of personal bitterness
because of his suppression and all the old
time enmity between himself and General
LinevItch in patriotic desire to be of SER
vice to the fatherland. cablegram from
st. Petersburg says that the former COM
mander-in-chie volunteered to remain in
any capacity with the army which he had
so long commanded. The tender has been
accepted by Emperor Nicholas, and grate-
fully received by the new leader of the
grand army.
The change exactly reyerses the old order
of affairs when Kuropatkin was the SUE
preme leader and Linevitch directed the
first army.
Authoritative news of this remarkable
step was known in Manchuria much earlier
than In ST. Petersburg.
