SCHMIDT MATCH.
GREAT LABOR DAY EVENT
The Russian Lion Says He Isn't Bit
Afraid Of Any Tricks the Champion
May Spring-Hasn't He the "knoch-
en-Brecher" Himself.

Chicago, Aug. 3l.-MiXed in with
the distinctly American crowd which
will view the Gotch-Elackenschmidt
match on Labor Day will be a cotere
of foreion noblemen. Reservations al
ready have been made for the Duke of
Sutherland, who on his native heath
has earned the sobriquet of Iron
Man" and distinguished himself in
this country some twelve years ago
by swimming the Niagara river; Lord
Desborough, Admiral Charles Beres-
ford. Sir John French and six other
we'll known peers of England.
Officials of the Empire A. c. were
furnished a genuine surprise yester-
day when a request was made by a
stranger to them for five thousand
seats, payment for the same being of
fered at the same time.
The man who was prepared to pay
cash and assume all risks of rain and
would not ask a return concession,
said Matchmaker Coffey. Informed
me that he represented large employ
ers of labor in the steel towns of Gary,
Hammond and South Chicago, and
they had made up their minds that no
better observation of Labor Day could
be had by their skilled workmen than
to 90 in a body to Comiskey's Iar';

"pm Really Clever" Hack Says.
Hackenschmidt took only a light
v vorkout today. Most of his work was
on the defensive, perfecting his
knowledge of Gotch's bone breakers.

that Gotch is inclined to pay Ii,tl" at

brecher, and declares that it has
caused him no worry" IIacken-
schmidt said after his mornings work
Nov I cannot say that am wOr-

hold. which he calls the 'flip-flop. But
! have discovered that something new
is always worthy of consideration, and
! have seriously considered the pos
siblities of the 'flip-flop, and with DR..
Roller have prepared defense which
| think is adequate. Naturally | hope
that GotCh has, as he says, paid little
attention TO my new hold. and rests
secure upon the assumption, as he de
clares. that I am always springing
something old as new for it will aid
me materially in working the Knoch-

There is one thing that | would
like to imuress upon the minds of all
those interested in the coming match,
and that is that | am ready for Mr.
Gotch. I do not mean in a physical
sense alone, but prepared for all his
trickery, his cleverness and his alert
ness to take advantage of everything
which may arise.
We will not discuss my physical

tested by them to a depth Of about six
inches not later than Aug. l. OF course
land that is raising titled crop could
not be handled in this way. but in
small grain stubble this plan would be
very effective. 1t would mean that the
shocks of grain would have to. be
thrashed at once or put in the stack.
Flowing the morning glories at this

that the few plants that survive can

JOHNSON PICTiNG LEMONS.
WORLDS peavywe Champion to
Take on sever-l Easy Marks.

Jack Johnson Is going to have the
greatest cinch picking lemons within
the next year in the history of the
prize ring. Never since people started
paying to sec fstic exhibitions has a
champion been able to demand such
huge purses for meeting fourth and
fifth raters.
First he'll tackle Petty officer Cur
ran in Dublin the second week in An
gust. and he'll gather in $4,000 simo
Icons for this second story work. In
Eeptember he'll have the pleasure OF
fatteninG Bombardier Wells for $50
Ioo. the mill to take place in London
During the winter he may be matched
with Sam McVey for contest at
Paris. for which he may get another
$500 while in the spring he'll jump
to Australia for another guaranteed
$4,000 to face Bill Lang. Jack John
son is the Raffles Of the boxing game.

season, and Russell has not come UP
to expectations with the Athletics.
Whether OToole can deliver the goods
or not remains to be seen. AS Il rule,
minor league investments do not pan
out, fact that can be proved by
Owners Comiskey of the White SoX.
Taylor of the Red Rox. Hermann of
the Cincinnatis. Ebbets of Brooklyn
and others who have bought untried
material with lavishness only to find
that they have overplayed themselves.
In many instances players secured
for almost nothing have shown the
required caliber. Pitcher Alexander
of the Philadelphia Nationals is a
shining example. He was purchased
from Syracuse for $500. and today
his release could not be purchased for
$4,000. Buying ball players. there
fore, is nothing more than a gamble.
particularly in the case of minor
ieaguers. and chances would not be
taken by the big club owners without
the liberal patronage of the public.
Winners mean large profits, and in
the competition for talent the richest
magnates have placed no limit on their
expenditures Dreyfuss outbid the
White SoX. Cardinals and other clubs
in his desperate attempt to strengthen
the faltcring Pirates with the acquiSi
ton of OToole and as the Pittsburg
magnate is Il good Judge of playing
talent his friends will be surprised if
he has made Il mistake.
Between now and next spring the
major league clubs will probably
spend 100000 for new players, yet
according to precedent, they may find
that only a small percentage of the
newcomers measure w to the neces-
sary standard. It's q good thing for
the minor league clubs. however. for
without this competition among the
big fellows they would find it difficult
to make ends meet
