Chicago, April 14-For the first time
since he wrested the heavyweight
wrestling championship of the world
from George Hackenschmidt, just n
few days more than one year ago,
Frank Gotch will defend his title to-
night. his opponent being the Turk.
Yussiff Mahmout
Phe contest will take place in the
same Dexter park arena wherein Gotch
won his laurels, and as much interest
seems to center in the outcome as N
the noted bout of April a 12-month ago.
Every detail has been arranged for
the clash, save only the point of
whether Mahmout shall be compelled
to wear shoes or not.
That this matter will be adjusted is
the belief of the promoters. Nah
mout prefers to wrestle in bare feet,
as he has done in all of his bouts
here. Gotch wants him to wear shoes,
as that gives him a better hold foi
his noted toe grip. The leverage OBJ.
tainahle through grasping the compar-
atively rigid end of a shoe is consid-

Tough Opponent at New York.

New 1OrK, April I4.-AI Kaufman
scored the greater number of points
in the bout with Tony Ross at the
Paramount club last night, but it
was on left jabs that he practically
depended for victory. Ross put up
a game battle and at no stage did
Billy Delaney's protegee seem likely
to fulfill his trainers boast that he
would knock Ross out before the 10
rounds were over.
1t was a case of big, fast man,
with good left jab, meeting sturdy
and aggressive opponent, who did not
possess his speed. Ross showed no
lack of gameness. The Italian rushed
in again and again, being met with
a flush hit every time. AS the bout
progressed his lips were cut and his
nose was bloodied. But he was al
ways willing to shake his head and
bore in for more.

amazement of every one he hung onto

Firmer Grip ON Mat.
Mahmout wrestles IN bare feet as a
matter of custom and has paid little
heed to the opinion of his manager
that Gotch will be less able to get a
grip on a bare foot, slippery with per-
spiratiofl, than on a leather shoe. The
only reason the Turk prefers to con-
|tinue wrestling without shoes is be-
cause his bare feet give him a iirmar
grip on the mat.
Referee Ed Smith held a conferences
with the men yesterday, but the mat
ter of footgear was not adjusted. I'm
der the rules named in the articles
of agreement Gotch has the right 60
insist that the Turk wear shoes, for
rule so provides. The matter is
largely technical, and it may be nd
justed about for the occasion. The
men will weigh about the same when
they enter the ring, and it is believed
each will scale in the neighborhood 81

Their Last Game.

Oh, you SoX, you heartless wretches,
Wasn't your tour successful enough
without having to wind it up with
such blow to our pride--we WHO
have always been your fond admirers?
II looked yesterday afternoon as
Though the homeward bound Sox yam
nigans wished to celebrate their re-
turn to the Windy city, and they play
ed remarkable game at Island City
park. Everything that came over the
plate. looked good to them and hits
were piled up galore in nearly
every inning. The only wonder
lis that the Islanders were able 20
prevent the 81 hits which were Sc
cured, from netting more than a round
dozen of tallies. Only one of these
was necessary to win the game. as
the Islanders were unable to complete
the circuit of the bases a single time
during the whole nine long innings
1t might be said right here that there
lis no disgrace attached to the defeat
administered to the Islanders by the
White Sox. The locals were pitted
of the minor leagues of the last few
years, and coupled with this was the
fact that the visitors had their batting
eye propped wide open, far more So
than at any time during their trip so
| far, according to their own opinion.
Besides this they are in what is mid
season form, compared with the Is
landers, as they have been sojourning
in the south and west for more than
a month. while the locals have been
waiting for the call to arms. ;
| Two Errors by Pitcher.
| The Islanders played fairly clean
game outside of the two errors charged
Ito the twirlers. one of which was 70,
a wide throw to first which pulled Kel
ley off the sack, and the other was FOL
picking ball up four times without
getting a hold on it in time to throw
to first ahead of the runner.
AT the batting game the locals
started off well with two clean hits in
the first round but after that three hits
were all that could be gathered and
fall of them were short The Islanders
were near counting but once in the
whole game. In the seventh inning
LOCKER, who was on the mound for tho
Sox, became a little cratic and befo {
he regained control. three men hat
been issued free transportation. VIII
the corners full and one out, Neal fan
ned the atmosphere thrice, and Mar
ply skied out to Payne i'll left field
i With exception of the first inning anc
the last two innings, the Sox added +;
little to their total score each time.
Il Open Up ON Webster.
Il In the second inning, the Sox took
i liking to Webster's benders and fivJ
hits were secured which resulted II
two runs In the next inning, three
hits and two errors by Wise and Web
ster. netted three runs In the fourth
inning two more hits were secured ant
they added another tally. The fifth
was a regular slaughter. Four runs
resulted from as many hits and wide
throw to first which spared the life O
Payne gave him chance to complete
the circuit In each of the next TIVE
innings, Billy Neal who had replaced
Webster in the fifth inning was abb,
to hold them without run. The
score:
