Gotch exhibited the speed and
.cleyerness which has won him his
exalted position.
Although Asbell is a man
weighing about 1875 pounds, he
seemed a pigmy beside the huge
bulk of Gotch. The Kansas City
wrestler, however, showed that
he was clever and the equal of
any except the man he struggled
with last night.
The first fall came after 16

Asbell was in a serious position

Catterson grinned and looked
up in the air. He was wondering
what Ben Daily would say when he
discovered that the Red discard
was a man with a solid ivory skull,
mahogany legs, and a glass arm.
The next morning the Blue Sox,
on tour, examined the box scores
over the cantaloupes and coffee.

Dust streak of luck"
1t proved to be a long streak,
land Jaggs changed his mind when
the Blue Sox, swinging around the
big circle, dropped in for four
games with the meek and lowly
Reds. Jaggs pitched the opening
game of the series, and Hardy,
who had been moved up into the
Cleanup" position, bussed a line
drive between Jaggs' shoulder and
ear for a neat single.
"Hey, you discard!" roared
Jaggs. What you tryin' to do?
Murder somebody"
Hardy, lodging about off first
base, answered with below
which amazed every man on the
Blue team.

going to hit you in the eye!"
Ben DAILY, playing second base,
shook his head.

himself. 81 ought "a kept him,

The Reds actually broke even

stick work of the cast-off. A triple

last game of the series, and Gala

at in such a way that he imme-
diately stopped it. The second
fall took the champion but seven
minutes, being obtained by a
scissors hold on AsbelPs head.
The heavy weight of Gotch
worked as a great handicap to
Asbell, especially when upon the
mat.
Before the main event an espe-
cially interesting contest took
place between Mahmout the Turk
and Roeber the Austrian. Both
men were giants and showed
great cleverness. The Turk OBJ

the second in II minutes.

Second Team
Plays Well

The second team at the high
school yesterday demonstrated
that it is in the pink of condition
for the championship battle with
the Broadway seconds tomorrow.
They held the first team to but
one touchdown during long
period of play. The first squad
has gained considerably in weight
and average near 100 pounds
since the addition of Miller,
Sehumake, Coblentz and Pringle.
These men have stepped into
their places as though fit for
them.
Hard scrimmages will be the
line of work dosed out to the
players from now until the Spo-
kane game a week from Saturday.

while he was working on what
Jaggs referred to as 1.-The old soup

arm, "huccome Mist Hardy to git
that triple when the bases wuz
densely populated? Accident,
mebbe?"
Jaggs grunted and turned over
on the slab. Hardy had made
five hits off him in two games,
which is getting out of accident
and into design.
The season progressed, and the
happy-go-lucky Reds fought their
way to the head of the second
division. They made no secret of
the fact that they were playing
better than they knew how, and
first-division teams found them an
unexpected stumbling-block. Har-
dy's terrific hitting was attracting
attention, and it began to be
broadly limited that for once Ben
jamin Franklin DAILY had made a
mistake. The manager smiled
grimly when the papers in his own
town began to censure him lightly
for allowing such a "sweet hitter"
to escape.

Knife Duels In Mexico.

A duel between cattle herders on the
Mexican plains is about as savage and
deadly manner of fighting as one
could possibly imagine. Each opponent
extends his left arm, and third party
who has been selected to act as ref
cree binds their wrists together with q
thong of rawhidc. He then places a
knife in the right hand of each, and
the fight is on. Needless to say, it does
not last long. Every stab may be cal
culated upon to do damage, and it often
happens that both duelistS receive ia
tai wounds Yet, in spite of the severe
rules of the game, there are men who
become experts and terroriZe a whole
neighborhood. They pride themselves
on being able to strike so quickly and
so surely that they can kill an oppo-
nent with the first blow and get away

The Suicide of Hannibal.

Defeated at Zama, Hannibal fed to
the east to avoid falling into the hands
of the Romans and found temporary
security in the dominions of Mithri-
dates. He melted this monarch to en-
gage in Roman war, and, his advice
as to its conduct being rejected, the
war proved unsuccessful, and Mithri-
dates was required as one of the con-
ditions of peace to deliver up Hannibal
to his enemies, the Romans. The I'M
fortunate Carthaginian heard of his
approaching fate, swallowed the poison
which for years he had carried about
his person and expired just as the en-
voys arrived to take him in charge.

labor. A provision in one~ of these
measures would prohibit children from
appearing on the stage in profession
al productions. Among those who
spoke in opposition to this feature
were Augustus Thomas, the noted
dramatist; Bertha Kunz Baker, dra-
matte reader, Hamlin Garland, author
and Fola LaFollette, eldest daughter
of the senator and Mrs. r. M. LaFol-
1ette, who has been on the stage for
six years. They contended that many
of the great artists of the past owe
much of their success to the fact that
their career began as a child. They
believe, too, that among the stage
children of today will be found many
of the greatest artists of tomorrow
1t was argued that stage children
are we'll taken care of and properly
educated. Mr.. Thomas said that it
would injure the child as well as, the
community to bar children from the
stage in legitimate plays
The interesting feature, of course,
was the appearance of Miss LaFol-
lette, who was given a most cordial
reception. She spoke right to the
point, declaring that stage children
are not neglected in any way, in fact,
being shown. the greatest kindness.
81 remember" said Miss LaFollette,
"that very important rehearsal was
brought 10 sudden close because it
was time for stage child TO go out
to luncheon. Such consideration as
that would not be shown for an older
person. We Of the stage love the
stage child, and the little folks have
every advantage

in the Legislature.

Madison, Wis, April 18-(Special)
ALI hopes of passing the workmen's
compensation act this coming week in
the Wisconsin legislature have been
knocked in the head. After weeks
and months of elaboration the COM
mittee introduced in the senate what
it considered an exhaustive and per-
fected workmen's compensation act.
The bill met with little opposition and
was passed. 1t was the fond hope OF
the progressive leaders that the meas
ure would receive the same speedy
treatment in the lower house, but the
moment it came up in the assembly
the air was filled with amendments.
Every attempt to get early action on
this important bill was met with the
same result. The assemblymen were
determined to make changes before
placing the bill upon its final passage.
1t is now conceded that this act will
be debated for several days, but it is
not believed that the lower house will
change the bill in any of its features.
One amendment that no two mem
berS of the commission created under
this bill shall be of the same politi-
cal party already has been threshed
out in the committee and this amend
ment has received the Endorsement Of

the fact that the central west is natu-
rally more largely represented here

remains that Harmon and harmony"
is for the moment the slogan that
creates the loudest applause. Among
the eastern Democrats who have

pears to be the favorite. with Mayor
Gaynor, of New York, a good second.
Missouri offers three possibilities in
former Gov. Joseph Folk. former Gov.
Francis and Speaker Champ Clark,
and any one of these three might
possibly be accepted as a compro-
mise candidate. The dark horse" in
the race is William Randolph Hearst.
The distinguished editor is not open
ly in the field, but there are some
astute politicians who hold that con-
ditions might-probably will not, but
might arise-that would make
Hearst the logical standard-bearer of
the party. William Jennings Bryan
has his followers, but practically no
one entertains the idea that he will
ever again be selected to make the
race for his party. The Nebraskan
is not without influence, however,
and should the race for the nomina-
tion be close, as appears probable,
he is very likely to name the candi-
date for president on the Democratic
ticket in 1912.
