congregated at Central Music Hall last
evening to witness the match be-
tween Bert Meeker of this city and
Kid Warner of Hammond who accord
ing to the challenge was to throw
Meeker twice in one hour or forfeit
the match. Warner who was much
heavier than Maker proved more than
a match for his lighter opponent and
secured falls in IL L. minutes and Z
minutes respectively. Setting both on
back arm and toe holds. Warner had
Meekers shoulders tapped to the mat
several times earlier IN the game but

breaking away. Considering the Crown
Point blacksmith's experience at the
game he put up a fairly good defensive
struggle and had Warner doing all his
stunts at times.
A preliminary match between Kid
Johnson of Chicago and Wagner of
Hammond ended in Wagner securing a
fall in less than minutes. Both men
worked hard and the preliminary match
was the better of the two. The match

Many sports have entertained doubts

It is said that Tex Rickard would like

of the fighters and also the life of the
referee. Furthermore Tex would like
to have a spare referee in case the
original ringmaster succumbed to the
heat sparks thrown off by Jeffries and
Johnson when in action. Tex Is also

From the looks of things, Rickard
might abandon some of his insurance

Matchmaker Joe Coffey of the En-
pire club brought the Pole and Gotch
together at the Hotel Morrison yester-
day. The preliminaries of the contract
were agreed to. it Is said, when Gotch
upset the negotiations by demanding
60 per cent of the receipts, win or lose.
Neither Zbyszkos manager, Jack Her
man. nor Coffey was much impressed
by Gotch's proposal. ana after consid-
cradle dickering the match was pigeon
holed and Jack Curley, Rollers man
ager. jumped into the breach and
clinched the contest between the doctor
and the Pole.
Gotch argued that he is the DRAWN
card, and as such has the right to die
tate terms to the foreign wrestlers
who come over here to meet me for the
fat end of the losers purse" He cited
the methods of the pugilistic champions
and said he was justified in pursuing
the same course in making matches as
they do. That ended the powwow.
Gotch left last night for Duluth
Mimi. where he has a handicap match
with Leo Pardello tonight. He will
not return to Chicago for quite a
while, as he feels he needs long rest
in open country. He will probably take
a long trip in the northern woods.

through sheer gameness. When he fin

terrific right hand smash in the fourth.
In the sixth he survived a drive on the
Jaw, that appeared to be a sure knock
out. In the second round he went down
four times, three times for nine sec

women who aspire to swimming hon-
ors forget their adherence of the
habit when they take TO the water.
They have heard that the chewing of
gum helps them to breathe regularly
and frees them from excitement that
might be perilous in deep water. Ply
sicians have found the contrary to he
true, says an English exchange. They
have noticed that women remain cool
er when they refrain from Keeping
their jaws working. When women
take to the surf the tudeting of the
waves sometimes causes the gum TO
become lodged in their threats and
fatal accidents have been traced to
the practice. Long distance swimmers
like Lady Constance Richardson never
chew gum when in the water. Even
for those who hang to the ropes in
the surf the chewing of gum is fraught
with danger.
