HACKENSCHMIDT
THROWS LEHTO

Duluth, Dec. n.-Gcorge Hackon-
schmidt the Russian lion, proved too
much for Karl Lehto, the copper coun-
try wrestler in the match at the ~
ceum theater of this city last evening
The big Finn was no match for his
opponent, who toyed with him for %
minutes and 80 seconds and with APP
parent ease pinned his shoulders To
the mat with an arm hold and scis-
sors. The second fall was won in The
same manner, after thirteen minutes
of wrestling. The contest was one of
the most interesting ever conducted i'm
the northwest, over sixteen hundred
people having witnessed the match.
Lehto's bridging was one of the
spectacular features of the match and
many times saved him from defeat
His friends in the audience went wild
every time he broke hold In the
preliminary Chris Person of Duluth
threw ole Johnson in 81 minutes.
Arrangements have finally been
made for match between Lehto and
Chris Person, To be conducted i'm the
near future. Both men have started
training for the contest, and it is ex-
pected that il will settle for all time
the championship between them.

The newspapers OF CUBA devote a
large amount of space TO the nation
al game The best illustration of the
interest in baseball on the island was
last month, when every paper sent a
special representative to the United
States to cover the worlds series.
These baseball correspondents, all ma
tives, displayed a wonderful knowl-
edge of the game, and their writings
contained enough local color to print
i'm any newspaper in this country.
The baseball writer's know all the
angles Of the game. have the slang
down TO a fine point and give a per-
feet description Of the game exactly
as IL is played.
Senior MtInoz, who represented n
paper i'm Havana said that II cost his
paper $400 month to cover the
games i'm the National and American
leagues. 1t cost his paper about ST.
500 to cover the worlds series He
was here a week before the games
and each day sent long cable reports.
Senior Munoz says that the people
of Cuba have practically adopted
baseball as their leading sport. Hun
dreds of teams have been organized
during the past year and, there are
now enough good players on the ISL
and to organize a league as strong as
any of either of our major organiza-
lions.
He predicts that within a few years
an annual series will be played be-
tween the picked teams of the two
republics.
