TURNER TO MEET SCHULTZ
Washington Grappler Makes Date
with Richmond Lad.
Has Also Hooked Up with nuFath,
"The Dangerous Turk"-WiH
Also Meet Lynch.

Joe Turner has at last answered Eddie
Schultz. the Richmond grappler who has
been chasing for some tine after a bout
with Joe. After trying TO get word TO
Joe in several different cities, Eddie
wrote a letter to The Washington Herald
some time ago, saying that he believed
the Washington ght-heavy-weight was
trying to dodge a bout with him. Joe
says he has not, and has finally got down
to the matter IN earnest He has ac-
cepted Schuitz's challenge. and viii meet
him in Richmond about the middle Of
the month for q side bet OF $50
In addition TO this. the local grappler
has received an answer 10 the challenge
he issued Halle Murath the dangerous
Turk" through the Baltimore papers,
and Murath has expressed q willingness
to meet Turner in this city at some date
soon. Murath may be remembered by
some of the followers Of wrestling as
the man who challenged Americas some
time ago, but whose challenge was re-
jected because Murath was claimed TO
be too light to wrestle in the class with
the Southern heavyweight champion.
Murath claims for himself the light
heavyweight championship Of Europe.
He weighs 175 pounds.
Turner is also to meet Frank Lynch in
Baltimore within a short time, probably
within the next three weeks.

having succeeded in matching Columbia
and Wesleyan. Columbia had agreed TO
race Johns Hopkins, but as the latter
team Is IN a crippled condition the Balti-

1t looked for a while as though 1t would
be impossible for the management to
find a team capable Of holding its own
against Columbia, but a wire from Wes-

this
Columbia has recently defeated Ford
ham, and is considered to be one OF the
best teams in the country at a mile. 1t
will be recalled that Wesleyan defeated
the Carlisle Indians at the Federal games

BY WILLIAM PEEP.

Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, and
other American League cities viii have
nothing on Washington in 1911 when it
comes TO a question of baseball grounds.
for one of the biggest real estate deals
IN years was pulled off yesterday, in
voiving the sale of the present property
at Seventh street and Florida avenue,
some 2Sl,c00 square feet, at price re-
ported to be $780, GEO.
During the season and next fall, the
local directors will discuss plans for re-
that the grounds viii be enlarged to in
clude a 9O-foot addition TO the Outfeld.
and that a cement and steel grand stand
of the latest type will be erected; also
accommodations for 5000 more bleacher
seats.
The sale was consummated through
Jordan & Co. acting for Howe Totten,
who had charge Of the estate
The lessees of the park have long
known it TO be inadequate in size, and the
new addition will make it one of the
deepest and most commodious grounds
in the country. The present stands were
erected hurriedly when the club moved
from the old grounds at Fourteenth and
II streets northeast. and have not been
satisfactory to the owners since; but. 0w-
ing to the fact that their lease expired in
1911. they were afraid to spend money for
Improvements. Several attempts were
made 10 purchase the grounds before, but
when it came to a question OF price there
was always a balk.
Now it's UP TO the team TO come out
and show the owners that we've got the
finest park right here in this city for the
finest team in the American League. The
fans have always supported the team
when it was playing tail-end ball, but
with McAleer in charge better things are
expected.
The ball park here is the most cen
Tally located of any of the big cities,
with the possible exception Of Detroit,

The people of Washington can have

yesterday advised the House committee
that as there is no law to prevent the

About two weeks ago. when the Cou-
