Mike McDermott SWims a

NEW YORK. October 1.-while Bud
Goodwin OF the New York A. c. has been

victory in the ten-nile national SWIM

He Is not quite seventeen years old,

against Goodwin's gigantic stature in so

the grit and the speed. and the final squirt,
which he made, cutting down his rivals
lead by many yards in the last furldng
or the race, stamped him one of the
gamest swimmers that ever entered the
competitive field.
Chicago is already heralding the speedy
iad as the coming long-distance champion
of America, and though fasteners claim.
not unjustly, that the Mississippi river

In closing the chapter Mr.. Noyes states
IF we are to follow English example, we
would be wiser to initiate the policy of
the English officials in dealing with the
native princes who hold relations with
their government. A showing both of
consideration and Of strength and an ap-
peal to the love Of the spectacular are
especially effective with Asiatic peoples.
The suggested trip of the sultan and his

have the most beneficial results in the

GOTCH STANDS OUT
Heavyweight Wrestling Situa-
ton Resembles Fight Field.
NOT WORRIED WITH OFFERS
Hackenschmidt and Indian CANA
Slow to Come Forth With
Challenges.

NEW YORK. October LIN some re
spects the heavyweight wrestling situa-
ton resembles the pugilistic field. The
mat champion, Gotch, is not being be-
sieged with chalengers from every town
and country. as is Johnson. but there
are two men now active who claim that
they are justified in asking for a match.
They occupy about the same places In
regard to the wrestling title as do Kauf-
man and Langford in the pugilistic field.
Perhaps Hackenschmidt and the Indian
wrestler, Cana, hove more enthusiastic
hackers than the two boxers.
At any rate, both the Russian and the
Indian have signified their intention OF
coming to this country in the winter and
seeking a match with Gotch A regular
report creeps forth in dull times that
the champion has retired Sometimes IL
goes ignored and frequently the monotony
Is still further varied by an Immediate
de nial.
II Cana and Hackenschmidt come here
this winter some city should see an inter
estine bout Before either OF them draws
Gotch into an encounter they Will prop
ably be matched against each other
Hackenschmidt was in Australia last
winter. A report states that a California
fight promoter cabfed to the Russian
saying that he had secured Gotch's COLI
sent to a match, ana aQv161n8 adCken-
schmidt to come here. The latter part Of
November has been mentioned as posi-
BILE date.
Cana was sensation for a time in
London. He had defeated every good
man in India and came to London, seek
ing new worlds to SIT on. He was unable
to 1T a match until DR. F. b Roller Of
Seattle appeared. Cana defeated Roller in
short order and Roller had two ribs brok-
en- during the contest.
Reports now vary as to whether CANA
won because Roller sustained a fracture
of two ribs or whether Rollers ribs were
broken because Cana delivered a crush
ing irresistible attack. Gama's stock
went up. Roller was rated as the second
best man In America and the Seattle
physician was quoted with the opinion
that Cana could defeat Gotch. bout
between Cana and Zbyszko was farce.
The Pole kneeled for about two hours.
Cana could not start any action and
darkness put an end to the show.
Cana is a big man. weighing 10
pounds He measures eighteen inches
about the neck. forty-eight inches around
the chest and has q twenty-seven-inch
thigh. He desires to meet Gotch.
Hackenschmidt Is said believe that
he can defeat the champion. He lost
q match two years ago In chicago, but
has been dissatisfied since. II both the
men appear here as scheduled there
should be some good wrestling In the
country this winter.

Ingredients for Betel Chewing.

The sultan and each datto had close
at hand a servant, carrying a silver or
brass box in which were all the necessary
ingredients for betel chewing.
The companies of the sd Regiment at

to salute in honor of the sultan. The

seventeen guns were fired from it in

Ruler Becomes Affable.

THE sultan, who had been sullen and
sulky in appearance until he had broken
his fast, now blossomed out into cheer
fulness and affability. He came up on
deck, and through his interpreter con-
versed with the Americans. he said,
calamity. that he could now form an
idea of what America must be like after
seeing this great ship and the American
ladies upon It, One of the ladies afore-
said intimated that America was much
grander than the sultan could imagine
on the suggested basis, and concluded
by saying that there were buildings In at
least one of our cities that were twenty
one stories high. At this bit of statistics
the sultan gave a distinct cluck, which
may have been an exclamation of aston
ishment and admiration, or, on the other
hand, may have indicated incredulity.
The suggestion that the sultan should
come to America and settle the matter
by personal inspection was received by
him with dignif1ed enthusiasm. He wished
very much to visit America. and hoped
that some day he might be able to do so.
He had been to Mecca. and wished 70

the royal party went ashore and its en-
