ing this great battle, is an interesting
game. The account. in part, reads as
follows.
"Old Tom jenkins threw young
Frank Gotch twice out of three falls in
Madison Square Garden last night.
The match was to determine who is
champion catch-as-catch-can wrestler
of America, in the absence of Hacken-
schmidt. There were 1000 spectators,
including many women.
Never since the world began has
there been a match so full OF wrang-
ling, rough work and foul play 1t was
pull-Dick, pull-devil, as to who was the
greatest offender. Jenkins used a
neck lock. which Gotch protested as a
strange hold. 1t could hardly have
been a strange hold, as Gotch kept
right on talking all the time Jenkins
undoubtedly did the better work and
won on his merits.
"Gotch gave Jenkins the first fall
when he rolled over on his back. The
Iowan had jenkins running to the
ropes five times before Referee Elmer
ordered them to the center of the mat.
I For the next five minutes Gotch seem
ed willing to stop and talk

ropes on the other side to keep from
being thrown, doing this repeatedly.
On the mat 4 yelled the crowd
Gotch yanked Jenkins bodily to the
ring and pressed both shoulders 70 the
mat for fall. Time, Sc minutes ana
IS seconds. II
Jenkins won the third fail Of this
old bout by throwing Gotch to the
floor with series of plunges that
knocked all the stamina out of him"
The account further states that
sGotch was so thoroughly done UP that
he tottered after being helped to his
feet and would have fallen II Billy Ell
mer had not caught him. He remained
in his corner very groggy for many
minutes
The hatred OF Jenkins and Gotch
dates from this bout, and Gotch has re-
peatedly vowed that he would annihil-
ate jenkins If he ever gets him on the
mat jenkins has lost one since then
to the champion. and Is primed for the
battle of Lis life in two weeks.

Fierce Encounter at

JENKINS WAS VICTOR

BY asking for change in the date
of the match from Saturday, June IL,
to Monday June IA, Frank Gotch,
champion wrestler of the world, has
shown that he is in earnest about
Iclashing with Tom Jenkins at the
Stock pavilion, Des Moines, during the
present month, and jenkins has gain
ed his point for change of date. The
go will be staged II the evening ac-
cording to the Des Motnes Capital
which says:
Gotch wanted the match in the
Afternoon for the reason that the
strong light necessary to take moving
pictures interfered with his work in
the night time. He was reluctant to
consent to the change, but when in
formed that Jenkins would not sign up
for an afternoon bout he. gave in and
declared he would show Jenkins the
time of his life.
The referee has not been agreed up
on and both contestants are selecting
representatives who will select an
other man to secure an engagement as
to who shall be the referee. It Is
more than possible that Eddy Smith
of Chicago will act as referee.

ticipation of followers of the wrestling
game, will be titanic and terrific

into play all the strength and sagacity
which have made its two principals

and Gotch have met three times before

He hates Crotch as intensely as any
one living, and Gotch reciprocates his
bitterest anipoosity with interest

E,rancis Adams of Massachusetts, a de- scendant of two presidents and himself a. gallant soldier in the. Army of the Po- tomac against Lee, in speech extoiilng the virtues of our great leader. said that if he had been in Lees place he would have done as Lee did: and no one has ever spoken more eloquently in praise or Lee than did General Adams on that oc- casion.

 Now, that people of the north Eavs come to welcome in their press such tributes as this to the Confederate sol- dier, winning from those who were brava soldiers themselves in the Union army, it certainly seems to me that our people should resolve to put up at Arlington, tine home of Lee, where future genef- ations may visit and see 1t, a monument that will be durable, appropriate and ar tistic. We ought not to begin it. or ac- cept any designs for 1t. until we have, in my opinion, at least s35,o or $40,009. With generous help from Confederates who are able to contribute we ought to raise this amount or even double this amount. in2 short time.
 1T am now an old man. My heart is in this work. and my earnest prayer is that l may live to see the glorious day when the monument shall be completed, but I woudl rather die in the belief that the south Is eventually to erect a monu- Inent at Arlington that will be worthy of our cause, than to live and see one put up which is merely a makeshift.'
