HACK WANTED RETURN MATCH
Gotch Will Take Him on Any Time
During Next Two Months.

Chicago, Sept. George Hacken-
schmidt left for New York this af-
ternoon after offering to post $4,000
for return match with Frank Gotch.
He was accompanied by Americas
and Koch, two Of his wrestling part
ners. Hack will sail from New York
Sept. 8. Hackenschmidt's offer for a
return match with Gotch was offset
later by his contradictory statement
that after leaving New York he would
never return to America. .>.
In the meantime the offer had been
carried to Getch and accepted with
the. provision that the match be held
within two months. This was not ac-
copied by Hackenschmidt on the
ground that his injured knee would
not permit his return to the ring in
that time.
Gotch will leave for Humboldt, To-
wa, either Friday or Saturday. He
was ready and eager to return to-
night but his mother and wife we're
not ready to leave until they had had
a chance to combine the pleasure of
the wrestling trip with fall shopping.
Gotch's plans are incomplete, but
he stated today that he would not be-
gin his round-the-world tour for sew
eral months. He wants to spend that
much time in Iowa.

TALK TO YOUNGSTER
Too Much Of the Mechanical In.
Baseball Nowadays.
individuality 10 Lost by obeyinp sla.
nails Glvsn by Manager Sitting on
eench-Many Budding stars
Dimmed.

Nowadays there is too much that
Is mechanical In baseball. In fact tn
playing on some major league teams
has become SO mechanical that many
OF the players lose their individuality.
IN order to become good base run
ner q man must be allowed to act
upon his own Judgment and think for
himself. Il is shame that players
nave to take signals from q manager
on the bench and act accordingly even
though his good judgment would die
tate just the reverse It Is in this
way that q player becomes a cog In
the mechanism of team.
Suppose q heady man is on second
and sees an excellent opportunity to
steal third. Now suppose again that
he has Just received the signal from
MI. Manager to hold the bag and wait
1or q hit. Or let us presume that he
Is on third and perceives an excellent
opportunity of stealing home after
having been flashed the signal to hold
the base for long sacrifice fly.
What viii the ordinary ball player
do!
The answer is simple. He Will hold
his base no matter what happens and
90 exactly as the manager wants him
to. If not he knows what will happen
to him. Suppose he takes chance
and is out sliding to the plate.
Dejectedly he makes his way to the
bench. There stands the manager,
glowering disgustedly at him.
why. you big dub, don't you know
how to play the game! You act like
q bush Lacquer with a wooden head
We'll. l thought saw good
chance to-"
"Oh," butts in the manager, that's
the trouble with you. You think too
much. There'n be something coming
out of your pay for this for disobeying
orders"
That is why many budding stars
were dimmed before they had chance
to shine. The main reason why they
failed to make good in many instances
was because they were not allowed to
think and act for themselves on baseA
Discipline OF course is necessary on
any team, but 1t is carried too far
sometimes. Occasionally some tow
headed manager will have charge OF q
team and will direct almost all of the
plays himself.
Probably heady man will be on tho
bases, man that knows more base
ball in minute than the manager ever
will and will not be given a chance to
use his own brains because the man
ager is running the team" g. s.= a.

Langford Beats Jeanette.

New York, Sept. 6.-Sam Langford
won his ten round bout with Joe
Jeanette in Madison Square garden
tonight, but every minute of the
thirty in which blows were exchanged
the Boston man knew he had a stiff
problem to solve Jeanette fought
gamely and cleverly. The Hoboken
negro was at no time afraid of the
Boston terror and frequently sent
back better than he received.
It was gruelling mill from start
to finish and while it was fast and a
clever bout was somewhat of a dis
appointment to followers of pugilism.
