WRESTLING
FRANK GOTCH
 TALKS SOME
Wants Hackenschmidt to Enter the Arena With Him and He
 Will Trim Him.

Just had a letter from Frank Gotch out in Humboldt, Ia. Here it is:
 Dear Sir: Noticing in recent is- sues of the papers a challenge from Manager Cochran, on behalf of George Hackenschmidt. the wrestler, to Jim Jeffries for fight, would thank you to let me say that I am glad to see that Hackenschmidt. who scampered home in the face of my challenge in 1905, contemplates a return to America, but am also won- dering if he is this time to advance pugilistic ambitions as an excuse to avoid an encounter with me on the mat. He had some argument in his favor a year and half ago, when he waved me aside after defeating Jen- kins. for Tom held the American wrestling championship at the time. But the situation has changed. l have the title back now. Hacken- schmidt took full advantage of his position last time by taking on minor wrestlers, after refusing big purses for a bout with me, and perhaps l may be pardoned for believing that the Russian Lion has not yet been thoroughly tried out at catch-as- catch-can wrestling, although he has annexed the worlds championship

BASE BALL TlD-BITS,

The Cleveland team has reeled of more double plays than any other team in the American league, thanks to the fine combination work between Turner and Lajoie.
 Philadelphia papers announce for an absolute certainty that Billy Mur- ray, the astute Jersey City manager, will be at the helm for the Philadel- phia Nationals next season.
 Fred Clarke's three years $25,OOO contract with Pittsburg expires this season, it is claimed, and the Pirate chief is thinking of giving up the game for good, just like Patti used to think of giving up her tours for good.
 The serious illness of President Sturgis Whitlock will probably bring about his resignation from the Con necticut league and give that body Q chance to secure president who will devote some interest to the cir cult and keep the managers in order.
 Chick Stahl is quoted as saying that he has been offered the man. agerial position for next season with the Boston Americans. But Chick and Jimmie Collins have always been big personal friends and Stahl wants the owner to give Collins another chance.
 Fresh impetus has been given the wrangling and discussions which have torn the Detroit team by the as- sault Saturday night upon Manager Armour by Catcher Jack Warner. Armour was taken unawares and re- ceived several blows before he could get into action. Warner planes Ar mour for falsely branding him as a disturber, while Armour planes Warner for his failure to successfully manage the team.
 It is claimed that packers of the Chicago Americans are offering to pitchers who beat New York in the remaining games the sum of $50 each. Though there is nothing un- lawful or contrary to the rules of the league in such course. 1t brings on the Highlanders something akin to an unfair handicap, as star pitch CTS will seek chances to go against New York when they might in the natural order of things be taking a turn against weaker clubs.

LajOie's Men Are Now a Factor in
 American League Race.

Detroit made it three straight from the New Yorks yesterday and as Chi cago beat Boston again the High flanders are considerably handicapped in the great race, which is the only one left of any consequence. There is no probability of any change In position among the clubs of the Ma tional league and nothing but slight variations in percentages are looked for. There is but little likelihood ot Pittsburg overhauling the Giants, and Brooklyn lost her opportunity to lead the second column by her fail ure to make strong showing in the series with Cincinnati.
 In the American league, Chicago now has lead of fourteen points over New York, and Cleveland is but two games behind the Highlanders As the latter team begins series of games in Cleveland to-day the result will probably determine second place. The principal trouble with the New York team is the absence of Chase, who was obliged to have an operation upon one of his feet. His absence

RUHLIN QUITS RING.

Gus Rphlln. the Akron giant has retired from the prize ring This Is Gus first retirement. and he says it will be his last. Henceforth NIT Ruh- lin will devote himself entirely to the management of his many real estate properties. and he expects to he worth sJOOOO inside of three years.
 Ruhlin gives as his reason for re- tiring the fact that he is disguested with the poor class of present day pugilist. Billy Madden. the man who discovered and developed Ruhlin: said yesterday:
 T had a long talk with Gus, and the result Of that tnlk Is that RuhlIn will quit the ring forever. This Is not one of those fake retIrements. made for the purpose of publicity. but the genuine article. I told Gus that he Is not a championship possibility and as he is sufficiently we'll on to live on his interest l think 1t better for him tc quit now. when he has the good will of the people"
 Ruhlin owns thirty city lots ia Brooklyn. and has sixth interest in about seventy lots in the Bronx

THE PUGILISTS
HITCH IN THE
 ARRANGEMENTS
Sam Berger and Jack O'Brien Disagree-Cus Ruhlin Has
 Retired.

All is not easy sailing in the Jack OBrien- Berger deal for battle in Colma Thanksgiving day.
 Berger wants to hit with one arm free, while O'Brlen is opposed to that style of fighting.
 Big Sam was in New York Sunday with copy of the rough draft of ar- ticles he signed with Jack O'Brien in Chicago recently. In these articles is provision which reads: Marquis of QueensbeTy rules to govern with the express provision that there will be no hitting in the clinches."
 Since signing these articles Berger has decided that he wants to hit with one arm free, the men to protect themselves in the breakaway. This Is the only obstacle in the way of the match, and neither Jack Cribbens. who represents Jack O'Brien, nor Nate Berger, who represents his brother, thinks it an insurmountable barrier. OBrien wants clean break at the order of the referee.
 The California managers think no difficulty will be experienced in de- ciding tEis point The articles the men signed in Chicago are as follows:
 We, the undersigned, Jack OBrien and sam Berger, do hereby agree to box twenty rounds or more to fin- ish if possible for the heavyweight championship of the world, before the club offering the best inducements. under the following conditions:
 "A forfeit of twenty-five hundred dollars (S2,5OO to be posted by both principals immediately upon the ac. ceptance of an offer from n club.
 Marquis of Queensberry rules to govern, with the express provision that there will be no hitting in the clinches.
 Both men shall be allowed to wear bandages. subject to the ap- proval of the referee and the princi. pals.
 "Ihe purse to be divided seventy. nve l70) per cent to the winner and twenty-five (25) per cent to the loser

FOOTBALL CAPTAIN KILLED.
John Kennedy, Head of Lawrence.
 vile Team, Mortally Hurt.


 Trenton, Sept 27.-John Kennedy of Troy. N. Y., captain of the Law renceville football team, was killed yesterday afternoon during a practice game between the varsity and scrub elevens. Captain Kennedy had made a long end run when a high tackle was made by one of the scrub players. several of whom were soon upon him. Tn the scrimmage Captain Kennedy fell heavily. It was not then known that his injuries were of serious nature.
 Captain Kennedy got up from the ground with some difficulty and, al- though evidently suffering, walked from the field to the gymnasium and thence to the dressing rooms on the second floor. Here he fell in a faint and did not regain consciousness. A physician worked over him thirty-flve minutes. A post-mortem examination showed that a small blood vessel al the base of the brain had broken.
 Captain Kennedy was one of the most popular men in the school. He was 19 years of age and was prepar- ing to enter Princeton university next fall. He was a son of W. H. Ken. nedy. a merchant of 1920 Seventh avenue. Troy. Notification of the a.- cident was sent to Captain Kennedy's family. who are spending the sum mer at Chippewa Bay, St Lawrence county. \. Y.
 The accident has cast gloom over the entire school and is likely to lessen the enthusiasm for football at the institution. It was the fourth practice of the season and was the first day that signals had been triey.. Captain Kennedy had a brother fir Harvard.

title at that style-after defeating two men. Now, Hackenschmidt may beat me in Q minute at catch-as- catch-can wrestling: he may need an hour, and he may not beat me at all. But one thing 1 can promise is that If he ever locks arms with me on the mat 1t will be no hippOdrome, and he and the public can bet their last dollar that they will see some gen. uine catch-as-catch-can wrestling, whether the bout lasts five seconds or five hours. I've got the sand to take the risk of humiliation. Has he?
 Meantime, I have some pugilistic ambitions of my own, as you may be aware, and what boxing I have done has not been all in secret, as is said for Hackenschmidt. MT Cochran says if Nevada promoters will offer a $40,000 purse for a fight with Jeff fries, Hackenschmidt will consider it. Now, I think just well enough of myself to say that if Hack will dig up an English promoter to offer a purse of fourth of that sum, I'll cross the ocean and punch the prize fight out of him so quickly that Jeff fries will be saved some annoyance. And if that doesn't satisfy the Lion. I'll undertake to show him some catch-as-catch-can wrestling he's never seen before, If he dares to look a square challenge in the eye.
 "One friend of Hackenschmidt once paid me handsome compliment by accusing me of taking myself seri- ously in challenging Hackenschmidt. If all the wrestlers took themselves as seriously as I do myself perhaps the sport might be on better foot Ing before the public than 1t is. Yours truly,
 FRANK A. GOTCH."

THE GRIDIRON LOCAL BOYS
 IN THE CAME Villanova Beaten By the Indians -Cossip of the Timber of
 Other Teams.

Carlisle, Pa, Sept 27.-The Car lisle Indians-Villa Nova football game played here yesterday after noon on the Indian Field before the largest crowd ever seen here marked an important epoch in the history of the great college game. It was the first contest by we'll prepared elevens under the new rules, and the Indians won to O. Husky as were the red- skins, the collegians loomed up as perfect giants. The Indians averaged TO and their opponents about 1S0.
 The side lines were crowded with football authorities, who generally did not enthuse over the effects of the changed regulations. The pre- valence of forward passing made some phases of the game resemble basket ball. There was much fumb- ling on both sides. and unusually fe- rocious scrambling for the ball when 1t had been fumbled. No one was hurt and the game did not seem tt tire the players nearly so much as under the old rules. It is very prob able that if football were played as openly as it was here to-day under imperfect weather conditions the sport might degenerate into an in- glorious scramble.
