SKI Riding HAS
MANY FOLLOWERS
THERE ARE NOW SIXTY CLUBS
AFFILIATED WITH NATIONAL
SKI ASSOCIATION IN
a. AMERICA.

Red Wing, Minn., Dec, 2S.-Skecing,
the most exhilaratirg Of winter sports
is gaining favor with the American
public. That it has had most re-
markable growth is evidenced from the
fact that 80 years ago there was but
one organization in the United States,
the Aurora club OF Red Wing Today
60 clubs fly the stars and stripes from
their ski scaffolds and of this number
80 are affiliated with the National Ski
association of America, which was or
anized Feb. q. 1905. Fifteen years ago
few hundred pairs Of skies turned
out by hand by enterprisng Red Wing
Slliers was sufficient to supply the de-
mand. From twenty to thirty thousand
pairs are now used annually by Amcri-
can sSiers. The first man to make
skies in America is said 10 have been
James Thompson, a resident of Red
Wing, who, according 20 his own state
ment, turned out pair OF wooden run
ners in the early ffties.

cult are all in nourishng condition

RUSSIAN Is NOT
NAGGING GOTCH

Chicago. Dec. 2S.-As far as George
IIackenschmidt. the "Russion Lion" is
concerned, Frank Gotch, the retired
worlds champion, is as dead as If he
were i'm some other part of the globe.
Hackenschmidt and his manager. Jack
Curley, wish il dstinctively under
stood that they are in no sense pes
tering or nagging at the champion and
that they authorize no one TO use his
name in connection with the Lion"
Gotch was much agrieved recently
because "A certain Western wrestling
promoter-new to the game, It is need
less to .say-advertised that Frank
Gotch would act as referee at a show
in which Hackenschmidt was to star.
Neither Hackenschmidt nor Curley
knew anything of this until they ar
rived in the town the morning of the
show night Then they made haste TO
correct the announcement, unneces-
sary as that might seem.
"The idea that | would want Frank
Gotch to referee a match for Hacken-
schmidt is one that no sensible man
could conceive" Curley writes IN his
statement. when we reach Iowa is
sued a challenge in which Hacken-
schmidt agreed to throw any three
men in the state of Iowa, Reiiper and
Gotch barred. In one hour.
"That was the only way in which
Gotch's name was brought into the
case at all. We never challenged him
after he announced his retirement and
do not intend to unless he should
change his mind
"Hackenschmidt is going along about
his business, drawing good houses on
his own merits as one Of the worlds
greatest athletes and is of a mind to
challenge no one who has said he does
not want to wrestle. The Lion wants
to win all the time and will defeat
every man he meets in the cleanest
and quickest way he can. He wants to
be judged solely on what he does on
the mat. That's the best answer | can
make to all those who are criticizing
this star"

FAST WRESTLING
BOUTS EXPECTED

Two ilrst class wrestling bouts in
'ne cornish and catch as atch-can
Styles are on the cards for local foI-
lowers of the game for next Monday
when Joe Ziehr and Ed Tremberth
meet at the Red Jacket town hall in
the afternoon and Young Miller and
Ied Tonneman of Chicago meet at the
calumet theater in the evening.
The Ziehr- Tremberth bout has oi
ready aroused considerable interest
among the local followers of the Corn
ish style game, of whom there are q
large number. Both men are we'll
known and those familiar with their
ABILITY anticipate that the contest will
De very even one. Until last vear
when he was defeated by Jack Rowett
Joe Ziehr was looked upon as the
champion Of the heavyweight class OF
this style of wrestling. After that de-
ieat he met with a series of misfor-
tunes which prevented him from an
pearing to advantage until the present
tliile' lie now claims to be in the best
condition he has been i'm for months
and looks for a victory over his well
known opponent. Tremberth Is the
challenger for this contest and believes
that he will be able to eliminate Ziehr
from the list of aspirants for the
heavyweight honors.
Young Miller is leaving nothing un-
done to prepare himself to defend his
title to the welterweight championship
in his bout with Tonneman next Mon
day evening. He is working out at
the Y. M. c. A. daily i'm order to get
into condition for this contest. Tonne
man is expected to arrive in Calumet
tomorrow or Friday and will be in
good condition. The sale of seats for
this show promises to be large as the
friends of the clever St Paul boy are
TO see him perform.

FIGHTERS WoRDY SCRAP.
Batting Nelson and Ad WoIgast Re-
sumo Old Controversy.

"Ad Wolgast is the poorest fighter
have ever met" says Battling Nelson.
Il mean that he has less class than
any man | ever opposed. He can't hit;
If he could he would have knocked me
out long before the fight was stopped.
He has less right to the title than any
man who ever held it, lie is a winner
by the gift of luck"
When informed of Nelson's state
ment AID Wolgast issued this reply:
IF there is any club that will give
me a large enough purse TO fight
Nelson, / will be only too glad to take
him on. am sure Nelson is ringing
a big BLUFF when he says he will meet
me under my own terms.
Nelson at the present time is not
worthy of me. He is down and out but
at that l will fight him for what a
champion ought to get.
II am sure the public would rather
see me meet Moran than Nelson, but
there is nothing in the world that
would suit me better than to box Mel
son again and show him up"

FOREIGN STARS
SEEKING HONORS
KEEN COMPETITION EXPECTED
AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES AT
STOcKHOLM-SOME BIG
MEETS HELD.

New York Dec. 2S.-There is no
doubt that foreign countries are build
ing a great interest in athletics, es-
pecially the northern nations Of En-
rope, and there is bound TO be some
stout opposition at Stockholm two
years from now in the olympic games.
In a meeting this fall given by the
Pan Slavic club at Sofia, Bulgaria, as
many as 5000 athletes participated.
The biggest meet in America never at
tracted a tenth of that number i'm in
dividual entries. A. p. Brooks, a mem
Der of the New York A. c.. happened
&C. be present at this meeting and i'm a
letter says in part:
ITO this meeting came athletes from
nearly all the Slavic countries-Rus-
slams. Bulgarians, Servlans, Rouman-
ians and Turks--to a total number of
more than 5000. These athletes ar
rived from their various home cities
headed by bands, all marching in mill
itary order from the railway station
to the army barracks, which were i'm
encampmenb in the country. There
were men, youths and boys OF all ages
and even women and girls among the
clubs.
"A great amphitheater. which was
erected for the occasion on the out
skirts of the city. Accommodated spec
tators numbering more than 10000.
Prizes were duly awarded to the best
athletes i'm the various games. Some
OF the uniforms were unique: most of
the athletes, however, wore some sort
Of a turban hat made of lambskin
with the fleece about half an inch
long and with the crown or top Of the
hat made Of blue. red yellow, etc.
according to the nationality of the
club; a loose fitting gray flannel skirt.
with military collar and sash. knick-
erbockers and golf stockings. They
presented a very interesting spectacle
both in marching order and in the am
phitheater. These meetins have been
held before, but this was the most i'm
portant one, and they arc to be carried
on each year in the future with the
idea OF promoting closer brotherhood
among the Slavic nations.
There is Nttle question. also, but
that these meetings and the Pan Sla-
vic scientific parliament. which was
! held in Sofia at the same time. had
a political influence as well. and that
these meetings are held. to certain
extent under the cover Of athletic and
scientific events. while trying TO work
up a pro-Slavic feeling throughout
that part of the world.
The 5000 athletes were almost
evenly divided, $500 being Roumanians
and the remainder from other Slavic
states. The Bulgarian athletes are
called Yunaks. and the Bohemians are
called Sokols G'alcons). II was a very
interesting surprise TO the few for
eigners there to find that these far
eastern people were such thoroughly
trained athletes and were able to per-
form in almost every field of contest.

LEMM STAYS WITH POLE.
zbyszko Unable to Throw Swiss In
Thirty Minutes.

Milwaukee. Dec. 2S.-John Lemm,
the Swiss champion, and Zbyszko, the
Polish premier mat artist, wrestled
thirty minutes Saturday night without
a fall. 1t was anybody's battle, both of
the heavyweights doing some good
work. zbyszko was on the defensive
half of the time and had his adversary
down on the mat for the other fifteen
minutes
Lemm showed up strong on the de-
fensive and at no time could the heavy
pole gain any advantage while he was
attempting to throw him. Several
times the Pole tried flying mare with
but little success. The battle ended
with I.emm on the offensive.
In the preliminary contest Demet-
raj. the Chicago Greek. failed to throw
Dave Finn. the local wrestler. Finn put
I'D a good fight to down his man and
probably would have done so in a fin
ish battle.

SAYS BASEBALL
Is GOING BACK

New York, Dec. 2S.-According TO
William j. Murray. former manager of
the Philadelphia Nationals, there was
marked decrease in the caliber Of
the big league teams this year the
reason which is unaccountable. "Out of
the 16 major league teams" said Muir
ray today, the Athletics, of course,
were far and away the best, but they
weren't as strong as some of the
worlds champion teams in previous
years Connie Mack was lucky to have
two such players as Baker and Col
Inns and a strong pitching staff. But
in the other positions the players who
helped to defeat the Cubs were nothing
out of the ordinary.
"The Highlanders surprised every
bodv. They shot their bolt cinching
second place, and were all in when
they played the Giants. The other
American league teams were lacking
i'm the usual quality. The Cubs weren't
within so per cent as strong as when
they won the worlds championship In
1908. The Giants, as they finished
were stronger than the Cubs. The
Pittsburgs had a fair team, while the
Philadelphlas were sadly mismanaged
by Fogel. The other National league
teams were nothing to speak Of Maybe
next year there'll be an improvement
in form. but it will require the devel-
opment of many young and inexper-
fenced players. Perhaps the big league
relied too much on these young bloods
last season. Something was amiss'
sure enough"

would ride again next season for Mr..

and cannot understand how the report
originated. He was in magnificent

The Calumet news. [volume] (Calumet, Mich.) 1907-1938, 1910-12-28

In the domain of pugilism the year
that is drawing to a close has been
productive of many sensational Incl
dents, chief of which were the over
throw of the apparently unbeatable
Battling Nelson by both Ad Wolgast
and owen Moran, the defeat of JEFF
fries by Johnson and the tragic end
of Stanley Ketchel, middle weight
champion.
As no champion bouts will be de-
Cided before the beginning of the new
year the present holders of the titles
will begin 1911 champions.
So far as Johnson is concerned
there is not in sight in the entire world
man who can beat him in short or
long bout with the gloves.
Johnson, by the way, is the only
worlds champion on whom American
tan boast. He won that title from
Tommy Burns, has once knocked out
Lang. the Australian title holder. and
England has so poor a lot of heavies
they are not worth mentioning.
III all Nut Ollitl tldHSNo III tlilS NOuI-
try the title holders are merely ma
tional champions. Tom Thomas, mid
dle-weight champion of England
Freddie Welsh, light weight cham
pion; Jem Driscoll, feather weight
champion, and Digger Stanley, ban
tam weight champion, are all good
men, and not one of them has so far
been defeated i'm bout for the worlds
title in his class.
Attell, Wolgast. Walsh and Papke,
therefore. are the champions of AM
erica only, and the indiscriminate
lacking of worlds titles on boxers not
entitled to them should be stopped
SO far as outclassing his field is con-
cerned, Abe Attell appears to have as
firm a clutch on the featherweight
laurels as johnson has on the heavy
weight scepter. Attell claimed and de-
Tended the feather weight title in 1904.
when Young Corbett, who had won IL
from Terry McGovern, graduated into
the light weight class. Since the day.
almost seven years ago, that Attell
first took up the feather weight fight,
he has been so superior to all the boys
in that division that he has found
it difficult to get any one to meet him.
Attell is only 26 years old, and as
he takes fairly good care of himself
he should, with his wonderful skill
and generalship, combined with his
ripe experience, hold the honors for
years.
The untimely death OF Stanley Ket-
chel left the middleweight title open to
competition, and there are many can
didates for the honors. William Papke,
who once beat Ketchel, evidently
thinks he has the best claim on the
championship, but as Sam Langford
announces his ability to make 1853
pounds, and insists he has as good a
right as anyone to the title, Papke viii
not be able to herald himself as the
King of the class without first giving
battle to the Cambridge Negro.
Although several boxers claim the
welterweight title, Aaron Brown, OF
Fulton, Me-. known i'm the ring as the
Dixie Kid seems to have the best call
on 1t just now. He won from Joe VOL
colt in 1904 and never has had de-
cision rendered against him i'm bout
for the title. Fighting Dick Nelson, in
a bout of 10 rounds without a referees
decision, claims to have beaten the
Dixie kid and thus won the title.
