coach, captain and men are elated
over the showing being made by the
squad in practice. That there will be
better team than last year Is gen.
orally conceded, and bear stories will
not be sent out unless there is some
real change of conditions.
Coach McCaa. who was expected to
be the life Of the team, has proven all
that could have been desired. He
knows the game, and more than that,
knows how to teach 1t. His signals
are better than any system that has
ever been used here before, and his
knowledge of the new rules Is mar
velous. He is without question the
best coach Whitman college has ever
had and he has inspired his men with
confidence that means winning.
His is not the method used by

rivals by maintaining her place, prin-
cipally through her use of the balloon
jib in beating to WindWard. This de-

KETCHEL ALL IN; MAY Be
FORCED TO DESERT RING

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.--It was news
in sporting circles today that Stanley
Ketchel has suffered a severe break
down and has been ordered to go to
his home in Michigan for a long rest.
According to some of the well informed,
his condition is so serious that it is
doubtful whether he ever will be able
to indulge in a championship battle
again.
"Ketchel has not been in good form
since Johnson stopped him in Cali
fornia last fall" said friend of the
pugilist although he has taken part
in several minor bouts, he has done
so regardless of his physical condition.
HE was compelled TO call off his
bout with Bill Lang last week be
cause of a breakdown He had worked
a few days down on Staten island, but
he lost weight and strength so rap
idly that his friends became alarmed.
A slight injury to his ankle finally
convinced him that he was totally UNI
fit to enter the ring"
Ketchel is only 20 years old, but he
has taken part in nearly 200 fights, He
has made and spent a small fortune
since he first came into the limelight
by whipping Joe Thomas In Califor-
MIA. He received $4,000 for his battles
with Jack O'Brien, $4,000 for two of
his scraps with Papke, $4,000 for his
affair with Johnson and about $50 900
for other bouts Of lesser Importance.

New York Big League Teams Will
Battle in Nine-Game
Series

NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-Arrange-
ments practically have been completed
for a post season series OF nine games
between the New York baseball teams
of the National and American leagues.
The players of both teams declared
themselves unanimously in favor of the
series and local baseball followers have
been clamoring for some time for a
pitching duel between Christy Math-
ewson and Russell Ford. Those who
are advocating the series say It Will
be of greater interest to New workers.
than the worlds championship ana
may draw great crowds.
The two teams have never met on
the diamond, although the rivalry is
keen. This year the teams appear to
be about evenly matched.
The nine games will be played alter
nately on the polo grounds and at Am
erican league park, the umpires to be
appointed by Presidents Johnson and
Lynch.
The gate receipts will be divided in
such a manner that the players will
receive about 75 per cent of the gross
receipts The New York Americans
wind up their regular season on Octo-
Der with Boston in this city. The
New York Nationals do not wind up
until October 10, according to the
schedule, but it Is said that two games
with Boston, arranged for October IL
and 10, will be doubled up with the
games scheduled for September Z and
S, so that the post season series may
begin on October 10.

CANA WILL GIVE GOTCH

Possible Successor to the

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-If Frank Gotoh,

ing able to master any wrestler in the
world seem more plausible and his

latter is experiencing some difficulty in
finding anything for his man to do.
Probably the way CANA handled Roll
Ter is responsible for this state of 'af-

Born at Lahoe in the Punjaub; CANA,
who is a Mohammedan and of course
a British subject, is 20 years of age
and weighs 211 pounds in wrestling
condition. His chest measurement
(normaD is As inches; he measures Is
inches around the neck, 26la inches
around the thigh and 1S% around the
forearm.
Considerable trouble was exneri-
enced by Benjamin in inducing him to
leave his own country, but the induce
ment of proving his claim to the title
of worlds champion by meeting and
beating all the other champions was
too strong to he resisted
Cana, who is we'll off in respect to

can wrestler and though under the
native rules one shoulder down Is
enough to secure a fall, he has never
been defeated, though having taken
part i'm more than 200 matches. Seien-
tifc, strong and active, a wrestler with
brains an das active as a lightweight
he has proved himself far and away
the best man in a land where wrestling
is INDUCED in to an extent unequalled
in any other part of the world, His
fairness has never been questioned.
