AFTER GEHRENG
Twin City Boy Is Believed to
Be Able to Down Present
Champ

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 25.-Now that
everything has been arranged for him
to get another chance at Henry Geh-
ring. middleweight wrestling cham
pion of the world. Walter Miller, the
st. Paul grappler, has settled down to
work and intends being in the hest
shape of his career for the Cleveland
titleholder.
Since Gehring clamped a toehold on
him at the St. Paul auditorium last
winter Miller has been angling for an
other match, but just when the chance
of clinching the argument looked
bright the Ohio man found some en-
cuse for calling it off and Miller's
chance of settling the old score, as
we'll az winning the middleweight title,
was put off. Now. however, articles
specifying every condition that may
arise have been carefully drawn and
Walter has settled down to work, for
he can't be made to believe otherwise
than he is better than Gehring.
Miller Had Sore Knee.
At their last engagement Miller was
handicapped with a sore knee. which
PACNcHle0 illNl 1IOIIl uSlIl6 Ills ldFOTlIe
hold-a body scissors-and he attrib-
utes his defeat to this. Once during
their last match Miller had the hold
safely clamped on his big opponent
and just at the time when Gehring
was about to be pinned to the mat the
sore knee gave way and he was forced
to let go. During the remainder Of
the bout Miller's only chance for a fall
was by getting at the Cleveland mans
neck. which he failed to do.
Unless something unforeseen sets in
between now and November z the To-
cal boy is going to be fit, for he is
working out daily with a large staff OF
twin city grapplers and appears
speedier than yer. His staff of help
ers includes Henry Ordeman, the Min
neapolis heavyweight, whom Miller
tussles with for the purpose of
Strengthening his defense, and after
Juggling with Oredman for thirty min
utes he takes on John Albrick, Joe
Rue. Carl Matson and all are given in
structions to go at 1t as hard as they
can.
AS a finisher Tommy Russell is
brought in and here Miller's speed is
given a test. for Russell is one of the
shiftiest men in the game. Following
this an hour Is spent in the handball
court following a light session with the
weights.
This is Miller's daily program and
although he will probably go into the
ring a few pounds lighter than his OPP
ponent, the articles say Gehring must
weigh in at 1853 pounds. which is near
ly fifteen: pounds lighter than on his
first appearance here.

GEORGE OPENS IT.
The King Reads Speech From
Throne to Parliament.
1t Is Brief and the Tone Is Col
Orless.

London, Feb. 6.-King George and
Queen Mary, for the first time in their
reign, proceeded in state this after
noon from buckingham palace to
Westminster, where his majesty read
the speech formally opening parlia-
ment from the throne in the house of
Lords.
During the ceremony the queen was
seated at the side of the king. Though
the day was dark and chilly an i'm
mense throng was gathered In st.
James park and in Whitehall where
the gorgeous procession passed. Other
thousands surrounded the parliament
airy buildings. Their majesties rode
in the gilded state coach drawn by
eight cream colored horses caparisoned
in gold and purple. The king wore a
field marshaPs uniform.
AS the royal party passed, the
cheering was unusually hearty. 1t was
the first opportunity the populace had
had to express its qualification over
the vindication of King George in the
recent libel suit against Edward
Myths.
An escort of life guards preceded
the state coach and yeomen of the
guard followed. Five state carriages
each drawn by six horses were occu-
pied by officials of the court and gen.
tlemen and ladies in waiting. The
crown and sword of state were borne
from St. James palace to parliament
in the royal carriage under the escort
of the guards. officers of state and
officials of parliament received their
majesties at the royal entrance be-
meath the Victoria tower
The house of lords was packed when
the imperial procession entered from
the robing room at 2:30 o'clock. A
floor with the peers. The bishop and
ambassadors with their wives occupied
seats at the left of the throne.
In the absence of American Ambas-
sador Reid who is having a holiday
at home the United States was repre-
sented by VIM. Phillips, secretary of
the embassy.
The colonies for the first time were
represented by the colonial agents
general. Lord Strathcona, high COM
missioner for Canada was present in
this capacity, and with him were the
representatives from Africa, Australia
and New Zealand. Other diplomats
including others of the American en-
bassy occupied places in the royal
gallery. The women wore mauve in
mourning. Speaker Lowther and as
many of the members of the house of
commons as could crowd the floor
stood in the aisles.
The kings speech from the throne
was brief and colorless. 1t opened
with a filial reference to the death of
King Edward. The only reference to
| foreign affairs was mention of the
fact that negotiations had been opened
with Japan for new commercial
treaty and an allusion to the friction
in Persia over the disturbance of
British trade routes. A casual express
sion of interest in the approaching i'm
perial conference was made. Only two
proposed legislative measures were
mentioned specifically. Proposals"
sal dthe king, will be submitted with
out delay for settling the relations be-
tween the two houses of parliament
with the object of securing an effective
working constitution
Legislation would also be had, his
majesty said, to provide insurance
against sickness and unemployment.
