That minstrelsy as such is passe is
demonstrated by the fact that within
a few weeks three old time black face
artists have been at the Orpheum, and
another is headed this way. All de-
clare that they cannot find use for their
talents in legitimate minstrelsy. be-
cause it is out of date. Fred Warren
came first, and so declared; George
,rimrose closes here tonight; Lew
Hawkins comes Monday, and Happy
jack Gardner is on his way. Most of
these men have had minstrels of their
own, to find an outlet for their abili-
ties. Just as vaudeville absorbs the
greatest artists in the drama and
minstrelsy and takes the cream of
that. Primrose declares that he has
more audiences, of higher class, in vau-
deville and appeals in twenty minutes,
where hitherto he has had to force his
show for two hours. Hawkins says
the same thing.

Put Up Game Battle
Last Night.
WRESTLED IN TWO STYLES.
BUSCH WON FIRST FALL WITH

cAN-BiG CROWD PRESENT.

A big crowd last evening witnessed
the defeat of Carl Busch, the German
champion wrestler. by the Terrible"
Turk. 1t was a triumph of strength
over skill and science. The fans yelled
themselves hoarse for Germany" and
the game fellow responded gallantly to
the call, winning the first fall in Greco
Roman style fall holds below the belt
barred, but in the last two bouts,
can (all holds permitted except the
strangle hold, he was simply over
powered by the superior strength and
weight of the Turk and went down to
defeat with all flags flying.
In the first bout Busch won the toss
of the coin and chose his favorite
style Of wrestling, Greco-Roman. This
was a desperate battle, and after 321a
minutes the German got double Mel
son hold on the Sultan's subject and
slowly but surely forced him to the
mat The crowd nearly tore the roof
off the house over the victory of its
favorite. In this round the German
administered grueling punishment to
the Turk, repeatedly getting hold of
his wind which wore the big fellow
out. After having him thoroughly ex-
hausted Busch summoned up his re-
serve strength and brought the Turk
to his shoulders.
In the second bout. the Turk had
the advantage and after % minutes of
sharp work put the German on his
back with half-Nelson. This desper-
ate fighting exhausted Busch and in
the final bout he was thrown with
half-Nelson after Gig minutes. The
final bout was catch-as-catch- can, the
Turk making the choice because he
had won the second bout in less time
than Busch had won the first.
Next Friday evening at the New
Phillips theater the Turk will meet
either Joe La Sale, the clever French
Canadian heavy weight, or Develin the
Austrian champion, who wired from

bout was fought last evening by Harry

boys. Del was given the decision on

Baseball Contests for Champ
ionship Will Be on an
Equal Basis.
DIFFERENT IN OTHER YEARS
TiONAL LEAGUE IN 1903, 1905.
1906 AND 1907 TOOK REST EE-
FORE SERIES.

With the baseball pennant races In
both the National and American leagues
almost completed, it is but natural that
the fans of the country should turn
their attention to the coming series for
the championship of the world.
One thing is certain-that the 1908
worlds baseball series will be played
on a more equal basis than has been
the case in the past. In 1903 Pittsburg
had an easy time winning the National
league flag, while the Boston Ameri-
cans were fighting up to within few
conditions prevailed in 1905, when
New York won in the National and
Philadelphia i'll the American; again i'll
1906 when the Chicago Cubs and Chi
cago White Sox were the contenders,
and In 1907, when Chicago and Detroit
fought it out.
Last year, when the Detroit team lost
the series to Chicago. the claim was
made by the Tigers that they We're not
fit to do their best because the strain
of winning the championship in their
own league, which was not decided
until the last few games, caused them
to become stale, while Chicago, their
opponent, had it's pennant cinched
weeks before and was able to rest up
for the final test.
This year not one of the contestants
in the worlds series will be helped by
the fact that he was able to ease up
in the Anal stretch. In both leagues
there has been the hottest competition
for the pennant. SO that the worlds
series will offer two contestants who
have been victorious after a keenly
fought campaign, and the loser will be
unable to say, as did Detroit last year
and Philadelphia in 1905, that it was
defeated because it was stale and its
rival fresh.
The National baseball commission
made a good move when it decided to
name four umpires to officiate in the
