LIVES TWO WEEKS
ON 2 SQUIRRELS
Man Lost in Woods Is Rescued
by Searchers After Ter
rible Experience

A terrible tale of suffering and en-
durance in the wilds of northern Mich
igan is gained from the disjointed story
told by a Finlander who is now in the
general hospital, Canadian 500, having
been brought by a special train from
up the Algoma Central railway.
Nearly a month ago Eli Kankus
one of the many lumber camps in this
district, says the New York Herald At
the first one he applied he was told
there was no vacancy, but was as
sured that if he went on to the next
he would find employment. He ac-
cordingly set out but had not gone far
when he realized he was lost in the
woods, without any food to keep him
and with little clothing to protect him
from the elements.
OVERCOME WITH HUNGER
He trudged bravely on. day after
day, but saw no signs of life, except at
times a frightened deer. AT last,
overcome with fatigue and hunger, he
dropped. He had not rested long, how
ever. when the terrible numbness of his
hands and feet told him that they were
frozen. He tried to get up and walk,
but he was too weak, and on his hands
and knees he travelled until he came
across an Indians trap with a dead and
frozen red squirrel in 1t. This he de-
voured and continued his painful jour-
ney, still looking for some signs OF
habitation. The crisp surface of the
snow tore his wrists in a terrible man
ner as he went along.
The Indian who owned the traps a
i
discovered one empty and many blood
thing was peculiar about the circum
stance, he set out for Batchewana, a
two days journey. Here he obtained
assistance. and with three others set off
and followed the trail. Four days aft
erward they overlook the unfortunate
Kankus, almost dead from hunger and
exhaustion, but with true Saxon
tenacity still clinging to life. On the
way they found another trap from
which red squirrel had been re-
moved. and learned that Kankus had
existed for ~ days in the bush on the
two small animals.
TOO WEAK TO TALK
He was too weak to speak and the
four men, Peter. Chibley.. the Indian;
Pete Jones, another Finlander and two
men from Bakers camp, from which
they were 10 miles distant, hurriedly
fixed up a toboggan and started for
Mile 81 on the railroad.
The toboggan soon broke down and
for eight miles the man had to be car
ried. Here 1t was found the regular
train had left. Communication. how
ever, being gotten to the 500, the wood
department of the Lake Superior cor
poration, although the man was not an
employe, rushed a special train for
him. His condition is serious, and If
he recovers he will be a cripple for life
as it will be necessary to amputate his
hands and feet.

Cincinnati, O., Aug. 31.-In view of
the fact that both major leagues have
adopted legislation limiting the clubs
to a certain number of players that
they can carry on their reserve list.
the National baseball commission today
suspended for one year a section of
rule 80 relating to waivers.
Under the rule no waivers could be
asked by any major league club for
purchased minor league players prev
ious to December | of the year follow
ing except when the player was for
immediate use.
he suspension of the rule for one
year, the commission says In its an
nouncement. Is done I'm order to give
the major league Clubs an opportunity
to Immediately ask for waivers on pur-.

.COTCH THROUGH
With WRESTLING
CHAMPION DECLARES HE WILL
GIVE WHOLE ATTENTION TO
FARM AT HUMBOLDT
CAREER ON MAT.

Milwaukee, Aug. 31.--Frank Gotoh.
the champion of all the world in the
wrestling line has wrestled his last
championship match. That is the an
nouncement that comes from the
champion, who is at his home in
Humboldt. Ia.
Gotch writes in a letter 10 a friend
here:
'"rhere Will be nothing doing for
me in the wrestling game any more
am professional farmer now ana
am going to stick 20 that the rest
of my life"
The above news will he received
with regret by the followers OF the
wrestling game, for Gotch has been
their Idol the past few years. He has
proved himself the greatest champion
since the days OF Jack Carkeek, when
the latter was at his best. Gotch has
had 331 matches since he started In
the game in 1898, not counting many
minor affairs. and of this number he
lost seven, five OF them being handi-
cap matches. In which he failed to
throw his man as many times as bar
gained for.
Gotch practically became champion
IN 1906, when he defeated Tom Jenk-
ms, who was then considered the best
I'm the country. He met all the stars
IN the country and defeated them all
His greatest match was with George
1ackenschmidt, the Russion Lion.
whom he won from In Chicago I'm 1908.
This match was arranged by w. w.
Wlttig, the Milwaukee and Minneapo-
ms theatrical man and was the SEN
sation of the age I'm wrestling circles.
Gotch won without a fall as Hacken-
schmidt gave up after two hours and
eight minutes OF work on the mat
without any sign OF fall. Gotch went
10 England afterwards and tried to
get another match with Hacken-
schmidt. but after much dlckering II
fell through.
They were to have met in Australia.
but this. too. fell through. Gotch then
defeated DR. H. +. Roller, and his last
big match was with Zbyszko. whom
the promoters brought from Europe
10 defeat the champion. Gotch beat
him so easily that the giant Pole re-
turned to Europe without bothering
about n return match. or late George
Hackenschmidt had expressed himself
as willing to meet Gotch again for
the title but the above letter from the
champion indicates that all chance
Of Hack getting a chance again is
gone. Frank has been a good clean
wrestler and he has plenty of money
20 enjoy life with, besides being
large land owner in Iowa, where he
says he will remain and be n cham
panion farmer.

is NEW BALL PARK LUCKY.
Shibe Park, Philadelphia To Be Scene
of Worlds Series Contests

Shibe park at Philadelphia Will not
be a very old plant before ii is likely to
become the seat of war OF a world
baseball championship series. From
present Indications. 1t seems pretty
certain that the Athletics will win, and
when n worlds series is played this
fall some of the games win take place
there.
There must be some significance In
the omen that the team which has the
newest park will get the pennant. Last
season Barney Drcyfuss had brand
new park, and i'm It's first year Of use
the premier series was played in il.
There is only one park I'm the Ameri-
can league newer than Shibe park but
as Comiskey's amphitheater was only
opened recently it is not within reason
that the White Sox should have the
series this year.
Maybe IL Frank Farrell has his New
York park ready for the opening at
the beginning of next season his team
may turn the winning tide in his favor.

FORMER TURF AUTOCRAT
RACING FOR $500 PURSES

Edward Corrigan is chasing the
5000 overnight purses in Utah and
Montana as seriously these days as
he did the Derbies, stakes and handl-
caps a dozen or more years ago.
1t is strange what n difference a
few years will make. Corrigan at one
time was one of the strongest factors
on the American turf. lie was In
terested in more race tracks than any
other individual: raced one OF the big
best stables of horses: conducted n
breeding farm of his own; employed
the best of trainers and the highest
priced Jockeys. He INNS worth more
than n million dollars II one cent. He
was in more turf wars than any other
turf magnate, and generally came out
best.
His start down the toboggan Slide
of financial ruin was when racing wa
closed I'm Chicago in 1904. lie was
the principal owner OF the Hawthorne
track. It's closing was n great finan-
cial loss. Then followed the closing
of the Elm Ridge track In Kansas
City. in which he was heavily inter.
ested.
Then followed the war between tho
American turf association and the
Western Jockey club at New Orleans
over the entrance OF his new track
City Park. Joseph Rhinock, Rome
Respess and Curly Brown were in
terested with Corrigan in that battle
They represented the American Tur
association, tho. present governing
body of the turf affairs in the west
but very seldom heard OF since the
Kentucky Racing Commission came
I'm existence. That last turf war prac-
tically broke Corrigan. He took his
big stable to Fort Erie that spring,
but did not win enough to pay the
feed bill of his horses.
Two years ago he began to dispose
of his racers and breeding stock. Last
winter he asked the bankruptcy court
at Lexington to relieve him of his
debts. A number of his friends held
some of his notes. amounting to more
than $4,000.
n rev months AFTER ne was declared
a bankrupt. Corrigan acquired a
couple of ordinary platers at Jackson
vile. Fla. and started out i'm
small way to earn his living like the
thousands of others who are i'm the
racing game. He raced his horses n,
the recent Salt Lake City meeting
and won a number of small purse
races.
Corrigan is no longer a factor, but
a plain ordinary turfman. and no one
Is happier of the fact than he. The
former Master of Hawthorne" as
he was referred to i'm the old days |
made many enemies through his dom
neering tactics but today they are
The first to show him sympathy.

BADGERS DON'T
like SITUATION
FEAR PROPER ENCOURAGEMENT
Is NOT GIVEN TO ATHLETICS
BY THE FACULTY OF THE
UNIVERSITY

Madison, Wis. Aug. 31.-Coming as
II did so soon after the resignation of
DR.. c. p. Hutchins as physical direct
or at the University of Wisconsin,
similar action on the part of Acting
Director Edward III. Ten Eyck a few
weeks ago has caused a feeling OF un-
certainty among undergraduates and
alumni of the institution as To its
future athletic outlook. 1t is not to be
denied that there Is something wrong
In badger athletic circles, but lust
where the trouble lies no one seems
to know.
Dr. Hutchins, who came to Madison
TO try to save the Badger university
from its derelict condition four years
ago. resigned to accept position with
a land concern. While the doctor
would never admit that his relations
with the faculty were not of the best,
II is a well known fact that he left
because he was continually hampered
by the anti-athletic wing of the fac
ulty. A few months ago he was made
tempting offer by the authorities OF
the University of Indiana to take
charge OF athletics there and he ac-
cepted.
Coach Ten Eyck's resignation. while
expected by those who had been in
close touch with him, came like n
thunderbolt out of clear sky to the
student body as a whole.
The question that is now upper
most In the mind of every student is:
What is the reason for these whole
sale designations Thus far no ex-
PLANTATION has been given, but IL is gen.
assigned. One Is the fact that mem
bers of the athletic department fail
20 get sufficient remuneration for their
services to keep them there, the other,
that coaches and directors are con-
tlnually hampered by the utter lack
of any definite policy In regard to
athletics. -a-i--
The students maintain that the IN
iversity of Wisconsin. leading as il
does In almost every line should, also
occupy corresponding place In ath-
letics. There are none who advocate
n return to the old days when profess
sionalism was rife and which was re-
sDonsible for the present condition;
neither do they necessarily want
winning teams all the time. But they
do want teams which will make n
good showing.
