WRESTLING
THE SWEDE GOT
 HIS FOR KEEPS
Frank Gotch Put Lundin's Ankle on the Hospital List With His
 Toe Hold.

The following account of how Gotch broke Lundin's ankle with his famous toe hold is taken from the Kansas City Times
 Before crowd of 5000 wrestling bugs, male and female, in Convention hall last night, Frank Gotch won his handicap match with Hjalmar Lundin without going the extreme limit three falls. While the bout was scheduled to go three falls, no one is to blame but the champion. He handled the bulky Swede in anything but a ladylike manner and after he had been on the mat eight minutes In the second bout he secured his famous toe hold on Hjalmar and twisted h!s ankle out of the socket. Lundin rolled over in agony. For fully ten minutes he laid on the mat and final ly he had to carried to his dressing room.
 "It was his own fault said the champion after the bout. He knew that | had him. but he was too bull headed to give up. Then 1 gave him an extra twist l heard it crack and knew that he would be unable to con- tinue the match. He Is a game fel' low and a good wrestler, but he will have to find a new way to break tho toe hold
 While the first bout was in pro gress 1t looked like good bet that the Swede would win according to tht conditions of the match. He was in perfect condition and he met tho champion at his own game. There was nothing too rough for the mar from Sweden. As expected, he car ried the milling right to Frank. Ev' cry time the champion wanted to mi, it, Sweden was right on the map Several times he took the man iron Iowa from his feet and hurled him t6 the canvas. But what's the rse' Frank would almost spot his holdi and then after indulging him ' lead. he would pull awaJ and begin 10 muss up things.
 During the first fifteen minutes of the bout the crowd was in con tinuous uproar. First Gotch woulC go down with a thud and then ther' would be a drop in Swedish meat Time and again the men wen through the ropes and Referee Day' porteus worked overtime keeping them in the center. The first fal came unexpectedly. Lundin was bacl of the champion and working for { leg hold. Suddenly Goteh reaehe' underneath, grabbed one of his fee and hurled him over on his face. Liki a fash he pulled him over into a dOu bIe Nelson and the Jig was up.
 "Lundin came out fresh for tn second fall and went right to worl with a will. He chased Gotel around the ring and finally hooke' him with a leg hold For fully Hv' minutes he had the champion on tn mat and Tuushed it. When Gotcl rot up he played safety. He waite for a chance and ducking under hi grabbed the Swede around the wais and slammed him to the mat. It wa a tough jolt. but Hjalmar Is used C it. He only smiled and punched ava. with his elbows Gotch was workinl for his famous hold and the crow' was next. There was a mighty roar Toe hold. Toe hold,' yelled tn crowd. They knew something va going to happen. Lundin worke' hard. too hard la fact. to break tn hold. and as a conssque1cs he will hl asfnr a cane for several days am uruSahIy wseks Gotch held him bi n. foof fer nearly tuo minutes bs fore ks tnaily turned hlm over.

 What .: day at Democratic head quarters like? At 1o:30 Vice Chair man Hudspeth, at Eastern leadquar- ters, takes his place at the head of long table. Around that table are gathered the chairmen of the bureaus and committees. Each chairman sub mits his report, report that deals with all the states from Maine to Flor ida on the Atlantic seaboard. If it concerns speakers the committee is in formed just who is on the stump, the Impressions that are being made and
 f.c demand for certain speakers or fer more speeches by this man or that. These reports are made up from facts. gathered by wire, by letter, by newspapers and by visitors from many parts of the country, for out in the states a great army of orators, writers, observers. district and local leaders, crossroads politicians and the great silent, thinking masses are at work in that gigantic political game of elect ing a president of the United States Much, very much, depends on what this great central committee learns, and how it acts on the knowledge.

SAYS REPUBLICANS l ARE FEELING BLUE
Washington Star Says Heavy Gloom Has Settled Over
 the G. 0, P.

Under date of Chicago. September 24, \. O. Messenger, special cores pondent of the Washington (D. e. Star (Ind. Rep.) sent to his paper the following:
 That dark-looking, lowering cloud which you see on the horizon upon approaching Chicago is not the smoke and grime usually denoting the near ness of the windy city. You will ob- serve that there is an added grayness, sullenness and glooniness which does not characterize the everyday pail hanging over the city.
 No. dear friend, what you see is the gloom settling eyer republican na- tional headquarters.
 But that rainbow above the mark? An, true, there is rainbow. It sig nifies Mir Taft's personal entry into the campaign with a vaise full ot ginger. He is on the job at last, much to the relief of the waiting re- publicans, who have chafed under the enforced restraint of campaign which up to this time has shown none of the force and fire which MT Bryan has infused into his efforts.
 Drift Towards Democracy.
 But, to leave this idle figure of speech and get dowE to facts, it IS not to be denied that the republicans are in very anxious state of mind at this time Things have not been com ing their way in the past two weeks, not by a long shot, and they can not help but realize it. Ugly situations in a number of states are confront- ing the republicans, and the present drift of affairs seems to be against them.
 This not to say that they are in panic, or that sort of thing. It is not to predict what may be the condition when the voters 50 10 the polls No vember 3, nor even to forecast the state of feeling which may exist two weeks hence, when Taft and Hughes have stirred the west. It is the pur- pose of these dispatches to describe the conditions as they exist for the time, to call the cards as they fall, and not to froestall the cash-in.
 The fact remains that republican reports of actual conditions in several states which ought to be regarded as safely republican indicate that the re- publicans will have to make fight, and a mighty competent, strenuous and skillful fight, before they can claim the states, unless they would be like the man who cheats himself in playing solitaire. Here in Chicago you get hold of the strings which lead into a number of these middle west states, and as a spider in the center of the web, feel the vibrations from the outermost rings.
 The buzzing does not sound good to the republicans.
 There is Indiana.
