The Cedar Rapids Gazette of last
evening in speaking of the golf
tourney which is now on in that city
tells of championship drive made
by Perdew Sheldon, Keokuk man,
with several other local golf artists
there. The Gazette speaks:
Some of the notable players excit-
ed much attention by making long
drives. VIM. Sheehan yesterday
made a drive of 900 yards and this
caused much comment. Today ]. P.
Sheldon of Keokuk who is noted for
his long drives, made drive that out
distanced Mr.. Sheehans, according to
the statements of those who saw the
feat and who say that this was one
of the longest drives made on the

CHICAGO, July 12-Frank A. Gotch,
worlds champion wrestler, has an
nounced through Harry H. Frazee, the
Chicago theatrical magnate and pro-
moter of the Gotch-Jeffries tour, that
he would like to fight Jack Johnson
for the heavyweight boxing champion

Not five minutes after johnson
knocked out Jeffries in their Reno
battle" said Mr.. Frazee "Gotch told
me that he could whip Johnson, and
that he would be willing to fight the
negro giant If given proper training
for ten months or year.
"Gotch asked me to put the propo-
sition UP to Jim Corbett and see
what he thought about it.
Il met Corbett, told him of Frank
plans, and he became wildly enthu-
siastic over the idea.
Everybody knows Gotch is a ster-
ling athlete and the greatest wrestler
in the world. They know he is about
the most powerful man in athletics,
that he is young and that he takes
the best of care of himself Where is
there another man more promising or
more capable of whipping Johnson

he did not mention the bishop by
name.

in the world today than ever before, :,

Him are coming together. They will

copy of the Outlook, which he had
brought with him from the table.

As has been limited for some time
Jeffries didn't want to fight week
ago yesterday, nor did he ever like
the bellicose pastime. VanGelder saw
JEFF two years ago out in California
and the big fellow said then that he
would never stick his mitts into the.
pillows again. The Chicagoan states
that it was simply the pressure of
public opinion that caused him to
face his conqueror when he did.
And it is my firm opinion, was his
comment, that the result would have
been different if it wasn't for the fact
that Delaney. the man who brought
Jeffries out, was in the winners cor

cause the big fellow was afraid OF

Retired From the Mat Some Time
Ago But Still Has Speed
Helped Train Heavyweight
and Knows Him.

Owing to the fact that he was
once an instructor of the one time in
vincible James Jeffries, the recently
defeated heavyweight miller and that
he has held the lightweight champion
ship at the wrestling game, several of
his bouts entertaining Reno sports,
Harvey VanGeluer of Chicago, travel
ing salesman for large tobacco
house is an interesting person to
meet and converse with besides be-
ing a capable entertainer either with
gloves or at the mat pastime, several
Y. M. C. A. members witnessing his
work last evening at the local gym
nasium with Keokuk athletes as op-
ponents.
VanGelder has been in the city since
Saturday and just yesterday after
noon happened to run across Charles
Hennemann, Jr.. who is probably the
best light weight grappler in Keokuk
and who has exhibited his prowess on
numerous occasions both in this city
and others. The conversation of the
two naturally turned towards athletics
and the visitor, who although a man
of nearly forty years of age, is in the
finest possible shape for work, ar
ranged to meet Hennemann in the
evening and give him few pointers.
And very interesting hour and a
half was spent during which time the
drummer showed himself to be re-
markable athlete and his exhibition
certainly supported all his claims as
to prowess in various lines OF sport.
Won Championship.
Starting in 1889 when he got his
first decision over an opponent as an
amateur wrestler in the bantam weight
division, VanGelGer only quit the
game in 1906 when he was known as
a lightweight. us most momentous
Frenchman who claimed to be unde-
featable against any man in the world.
Mons, was however, put out of the
way after a great tussle in an arena
not far from the one which bore the
weight of Jeffries and Johnson on In
dependence day. Earlier in his ca
reer, in 1893 AMI 1894, vanGelder won
the bantam weight championship in
the amateur class at the Olympi club
tournament in San Francisco while
he snatched the honors in the feather
division in '95 in both this country
and Canada.
