TERRIBLE TURK

BUSCH AND LASALLE, THE LAT

RiNGsiDE- LASALLE TAKEN
FOR NEXT WEEK.

Having disposed of German wrest-
Ter. Monogoff, the Terrible Turk, last
evening at the New Phillips defeated
an Austrian wrestling champion. II
there are any other national champions
from Iceland to Fiji, hanging around
this section of the globe pining away
for battle Mr.. Monogoff stands ready
to accommodate them. Next Thursday
night at the coliseum the Turk will
meet Joe LaSalle, a French Canadian
heavyweight.
Delawuck, who was exterminated
last evening by the Turk. is called the
mad wrestler Of Austria" 1t is prob
able that he was quite peevish over the
easy manner in which big Bob disposed
of him. Delawuck went to the mat the
first time after nineteen and a half
minutes of bear hugging. The Turk
picked him up and spun him about in
the air a la John Flanagan throwing
the sixteen-pound hammer. When the
Turk dropped him to the mat there
was no question but that he had been
thrown.
1t took sixteen minutes for the Turk
to put the Austrian in the clear Sec
ond time. This was accomplished by
first tieing Delewuck in bow knot
then turning cart wheel with him.
The name Of this hold is not to be
found In Wehster's dictionary, SO the
reader will have to do without 1t.
After the Austrian had unraveled
himself and retired from the limelight,
ring and told the fans they were not
afraid Of Monogoff and would like to
quarrel with him next week. Busch
wanted to meet him Greaco- Roman. La
Sale states it makes no difference to
him how the match is arranged.

Quaker Lads Clash With La
fayette Team This
Afternoon.
WALLS MEN LACK GINGER.
PLAY IS SLUGGISH AND COACH
VAIL WILL ATTEMPT TO WHIP
TEAM AROUND IN THE NEXT
TWO WEEKS.
IAIL'S MEN LACK GINGER.

Old Earlham is decidedly pessimis-
tic over the outcome of the Earlham-
Purdue game this afternoon at La
fayette.
Coach Vail appears to have the ma
terial this year, but the men have no
ginger about their play and their
work, as shown in the Antioch game
last Saturday, is decidedly sluggish.
Probably before the next two weeks
Vail will have the team whipped into
line but as it now is it is impossible.
No doubt Purdue will run up big
score on the Quakers this afternoon.
If Earlham holds the Boilermakers to
thirty points or less, all local football
fans will be greatly surprised.
In the Earlham squad that left this
morning for Lafayette We're Francis,
Walthal, Swain, Stanley, Lindley,
Johnson, CASTOR, Beebe, Hill, J. Jones.
Bruner, Harrell, Beachler, White,

STATE AID FOR
ROAD BUILDING
One of the important Progress
sive Steps Being Taken All
Over the Country

State aid for road building was first
given 10 Europe. Germany, whose
good roads please every traveller and
rouse the fond memories of every loyal
son of the Fatherland. recognized a
hundred years ago that the roads are
matter of vital public concern, and
that bad roads are largely due to the
fact that She country landowners were
expected to bear the whole burden
They began then to give government
aid for the improvement of the roads.
State aid for roads was first granted
in this country by New Jersey six
teen years ago, and now that state
has thousands of miles of roads that
rival those of Europe. This move
ment was so popular 10 New Jersey
that other states rapidly took up the
plan and now over half of the states
give some form of state aid for roads.
Wisconsin is the only one Of the
really progressive states that gives
no state aid and the state in the
Union which has constitution for
bidding it to give such aid. This GER
tainly should be changed. Wisconsin
leads 10 most progressive things and
il is hurt TO our state pride that
ours is The tail-ender in the matter of
roads
But we nope to see this changed.
An amendment to the constitution
will be submitted this fall making it
possible for our state to join the pro-
cession of states giving aid for roads,
If the voters do what they should
there will be such an overwhelming
vote in favor of the amendment that
our next legislature will see the ne
cesSity of doing all it can to put Wis
consin in the lead.
The danger is great, however that
on the long ballot that will confront
the voters, they will forget the ob-
scure amendments at the bottom of
the sheet. Tie string to your finger
so you won't be one of those to forget

ADDRESS is
WELL ATTENDED
Hon. C. A, A. McGee was
Greeted by a Large Audience
at the Opera House Last Eve
F1lnn

The speech made at the opera house
Friday night by the Hon. G. A A.
McGee was hot one and stirred up
the politicians and voters of all parties
considerably. There was more fire
and vim in the address than the
Democratic speech made by John Ayl-
ward. The speaker was presented to
the audience by Theodore w. Brazeau
in few preliminary remarks i'm
which he complimented the speaker.
The compliment was returned by
Mr.. MCGEE. The City Band after
playing several numbers in the opera
house left. The speaker dwelt largely
upon the history of the Democratic
party which was not very interest
ing subject for the Democrats and
they kept leaving the house. Every
speaker has his idea as to what is best
to present his audience from his
standpoint. Sometimes they strike
the popular chord and again they
don't. Everyman is free to judge and
form his own opinion that heard his
specs xt
Mr. McGee is fluent and interesting
speaker who has volume of voice so
that he can be easily heard in a large
audience room. He talked for two
hours and kept his audience interested
and told many pleasing stories. This
was his first appearance in Grand
Rapids
