WILL WRESTLE FOR
CHANCE AT GOTCH
Mahmout, Bulgarian and Zbyszko,
Pole, Meet Tonight at
Chicago.

Chicago, March 29.-With a chance
at Frank Gotch and the title now grac-
ing his name as the goal, Yussiff NAH
mout and Stanislaw Zbyszko will step
into the ring at the Coliseum tonight
for a battle that will end only after
one of the foreigners has been de-
clared the winner by pinning the
shoulders of his opponent to the mat
in two falls. Both the aspirants to
the championship are in the pink of
condition and when they take to the
canvas there promises to develop one
of the hardest mat fights ever wit
messed by Chicagoans. not excepting
the Notwithstanding affair.
Defeat means a return to the old
country without chance at any more
of the good odd American dollars,
while victory will mean the realization
of the height of either mans ambi-
tons. That both count on victory was
evidenced yesterday when the princi-
pals put on the finishing touches to
their strenuous training campaigns
Zbyszko will weigh in the neighbor-
hood of 223 pounds and Mahmout will
weigh about 1903 pounds.

Pitchers Wagner and Metheson Ar
rive in City This Morning ~
Begin Practice Season.

The latest addition TO the Islander
list of recruits is Fred Uhl, first
sacker who performed last year with
Fort Wayne in the Central league.
Uhl did not play the entire season
there and his work did not exactly
suit the Fort Wayne management, but
Tighe believes there is possibilities In
the player which will make him a
valuable man If they are properly de-
veloped Uhl played in 81 games,
batted .209 and flelded 1856. His con-
tract has been received and he has
been ordered to report. He is ex-
pected to arrive Friday.
More Pitchers Arrive.
Pitchers Harle E. Wagner of Maris-
sa, Ill, and b. J. Matheson of Dan
Vile, Va, arrived In the city this morn
ing and swelled the list of Islanders
who are in training at Island City
park to 10 in number. Both are likely
looking youngsters and anxious to
make good. There now remains only
three pitchers to hear from and they
are expected to drop in at almost any
moment. Walter Queisser, whose homo
is at Indianapolis, was expected in
among the first, as was also Clyde c.
Brosious from Rotan, Texas. Grover
Engman is due now and ought to be
in tonight at the latest. He is coming
from Pass Christian, Miss.
Lester Bassett, the outf1elder from
Blue Island, arrived this afternoon
Others Expected Daily.
Although the infielders were not or
dered TO report before Friday, some
of them are expected in tomorrow and
they will be dropping in from that
time until Saturday. Harry Kelly
wrote that he and some of the Buffalo
boys, including Fred Fisher. catcher,
and William Hunter. outfielder, were
planning on leaving Buffalo so as to
arrive here either tonight or tomorrow
morning. AS soon as the infielders
and outfielders begin showing up, the
real practice will commence. Now
Manager Tighe is giving all his atten-
ton to working out the pitchers. He
will have a pretty good line on them
by Friday.
