A ONE NIGHT CONVERT.
Incident In the Temperance Career o
Father Mathew.

Incident In the Temperance Career Of
Father Mathew.
In 1S43, when Father Mathew was
crusading for total abstinence in Lon
don, he created no small amusement
for a large party at the h~ospitable
mansion Of IN Irish nobleman by his
attempts, partly playful, but also part
~ serious, to make a convert of Lord
Brougham, who resisted good humor-
eddy, but resolutely, the efforts Of his
Jealous neighbor. The incident is re-
lated by Katharine lyman in her biog-
raphy Of Father Mathew.
II drink very little wine," said
Brougham, "only half a glass at lunch
o and. two half glasses at dinner.
And, though my medical adviser told
me I should increase the quantity, I
refused to do So"
HE was wrong, my lord, for ad-
vising you to increase the quantity, and
you were wrong in taking the small
quantity you do" said Father Mathew,
"but I have my hopes Of you"
And SO, after a pleasant resistance
VI lu0 QdIL VI tu6 1SdIu6U 1OCU, HAL0eE
Mathew invested his lordship with the
silver medal and ribbon, the insignia
and collar Of the new order Of the
Bath"
''Then I will keep it" said Brougham,
"and take it to the house, where I
shall be sure to meet old Lord - the
worse for liquor, and I will put it on
him"
The announcement Of this intention
was received with much laughter. for
the noble lord referred to was notori-
GUS for his %potations.
Lord Brougham was as good as his
word, for on meeting the veteran peer
he said, Lord -, I have a present
from Father Mathew for you," and
passed the ribbon rapidly over his
neck.
'"Then I tell you what it is, Brough-
am. I will keep sober for this night"
was the peers unexpected response.
And he kept this vow, to the amaze
ment Of his friends.

The Great Circus.

The famous Coliseum In old Rome,
massive as it was, was a mere toy in
comparison with the great circus,
which filed the valley between the
Palatine and the Aventine hills. The
Coliseum is said to have been able to
seat $1,000 people, while the seating
capacity Of the great circus was, at
different periods, 10000, 100000 and,
lastly, $4,000 spectators. The great
circus was probably the most stu
pendous building ever erected for pub
lie spectacles.-New York American.

on Grass in Skene'S Park.

Despite the wet condition of the
various baseball parks in the south
eastern section of the city. the Topeka
squad had a good workout on the sod
adjacent to Skene's park Thursday
afternoon. There was no chance for
infield work, but the players took turns
at bat, while others chased the long
hits in the mud. All the players who
had reported up to that time were in
suits with the exceptions of Danny
Green and Lijah Wooley.
A few of the Washington players
were on hand and assisted, Mike Ka-
hoe, Ollie Pickering and Rapps BRAY

loosen up a, little bit. The remainder,
however, preferred to work out in the
hotel and won't be in uniform until
the afternoon.
Eleven of the players went to Man
haitian this morning, while the re-
mainder stayed at home to work out.
The following are the players who
went to Manhattan, arranged in the
batting order for today: Long, center

is GAME.

Kansas City. March 26.-Frank Gotch
of Iowa, champion wrestler of the
world. last night retained his title by
defeating Raoul De Rouen of France, in
straight falls.
The winning fall was won with a toe
hold made famous by the champion
himself It was the second time the
Frenchman had been at the mercy of
the painful hold and he allowed his
shoulders to be put to the mat almost
without an effort. But though the
match added to Gotch's laurels it re-
fiected no discredit on De Rouen, who
was repeatedly cheered for his game
ness.
With the exception of a few minutes
when the men were on their feet, Gotch
was always the aggressor. The cham
pion was never in serious trouble and
II soon became evident that his ulti-
mate victory was only a matter of time.
Gotch really won the bout in the first
fall. when he so weakened his opponent
with the toe hold that De Rouen did
not care to repeat the experience in the
second fall The time of the falls was
34:45 and Is minutes fiat respectively.
De Rouen the AggressOr.
AS they entered the arena. the French
man appeared nervous The gong
SOUNDED at S-3O. DE ROuen was the
aggressor. GOtch seemed to take it
easy They went to the mat at 9:37
Gotch throwing De Rouen with a half
Nelson and crotch. De Rouen seemed
10 have all he could do to defend him
self.
From the moment they struck the
floor Gotch kept the crowd on its feet
a combination half Nelson and crotch
hold almost put the Frenchman out, but
he recovered. Gotch then tried for the
toe hold. De Rouen several times tried
10 strike Gotch in the face with his ell
bow. When De Rouen crawIed through
the ropes. Gotch pulled him back by the
leg In the struggle that followed both
men got on their feet.
Gotch in a few minutes again secured
leg hold on his opponent and brought
him to the mat. Gotch secured a toe
hold on the Frenchman, whose face
showed extreme agony. He struck Gotch
feebly with his elbow but soon lay still
with his chest heaving and the perspir-
alton rolling from every pore. He slow
" rolled over, but finally broke the hold
by bridging and rolling clear over. He
was evidently game.
The First Fall Hard One
Gotch then secured a bar lock and
only a supreme effort saved the French
man, who made no effort to take the
offensive. Referee Porteus brought the
men to the center of the ring. After a

few minutes sparring, Gotch secured a
hammer lock. De Rouen bridged again
and broke it. The Frenchman regain
ed his feet and Gotch pushed back
wards over the ropes.
In the ring again, Gotch for the third
time threw De Rouen with a leg hold
and in a moment secured a full Nelson
and put his shoulders to the mat in
34:45.
They Cheered the Frenchman.
When the men re-entered the ring for
the second time De Rouen was more
heartily cheered than at first. The gong
sounded at 1924 and the Frenchman
advanced as at first. but with extreme
caution. After eight minutes sparring
for a hold GOtch repeated his former
feat of catching De Rouen's leg and
they went to the mat, Gotch uppermost.
Twice the men were rolled through the
ropes and were brought back, the
Frenchman apparently trying only to
protect himself. Finally Gotch felt the
toe of his opponent cautiously, smiled
Rouen's face became distorted with
pain The crowd was on it's feet as the
champion of France slowly rolled over
and a moment later the referee was
patting Gotch in token of his victory.
Ten thousand persons saw the match,
which was for a purse of $4,000, the
winners end being $1,000
Both contestants were In excellent
condition. Gotch, who weighs 212
pounds, was a 10 to 8 favorite though
De Rouen was 40 pounds heavier. This
was the Americans first match since

pearance on the mat in this country
