Zbyszko After
Match With Gotch
Manager 6f Polish Wrestler
Sends Communication to
The Farmer
Sporting Editor of the Farmer:

Sporting Editor of the Farmer:
Stanislaus Cyganiewicz better
known to the wrestling world as
Zbyszko is due to arrive in America
on November 1. He comes upon
promise from me that 1 would use
every effort to secure a match for
him with Frank Gotch for the worlds
championship title. I have consider
ed. and came to the conclusion that
the only way to force Gotch into. a
match with the Pole was to offer him
certain sum for his services as the
champion has not retired, and money
will naturally be the first question in
volved in any contest he takes part
in. Hence the following offer: 1 will
pay Gotch $4,000 as his share for a
finish match with Zbyszko, regardless
of the result of said contest. The
above amount is more than Gotch
has ever received for any contest
with the exception Of, the one on La
Dor. Day.
As to my responsibility, all can
say is that if there is a chance of
getting Gotch to sign articles, I will
forward $1,000 upon request, to guar
antee my posting $4,000 more when
Goteh signs the articles and posts his
forfeit to guarantee appearance. If
fail to deposit the balance of the
money, the 1000 forfeit shall be paid
to- any charitable organization that
may be named.
In making this offer, I desire to
draw your attention to the fact that
Zbyszko, with the exception of Gotch.
has defeated every wrestler of note,
not only in this country but in Eu-
rope as well, and II any heavyweight
that he has. not defeated wants a
chance, I assure you he can be ac-
modated any time after Novem-
Der 1; in fact / would like to have
you pit me in communication. with the
promoters in your city. and is posi-
BILE arrange for Zbyszko's appearance
during the coming season, against
some worthy opponent.
y Thanking you for past favors, and
trusting that you will do what you
can to further my interests in this
matter, I remain.
Sincerely yours,
]. H. HERMAN,
Manager of Zbyszko.

Jim Barry Wins
From JeWey Smith
In Ten Round Go
Chicago Fighter Has Best O
Early Rounds With English
(. Bruiser

Jim Barry. the Chicago heavy
weight, had to fight in his best form
to beat Jewey Smith, the stocky Eng
lishman, in their ten round tilt at the
Twentieth Century A. c., New York,
last night. 1t was a gruelling affair
all the way, with both combatants
fighting hard every second of the
thirty minutes.
Smith put up a grand battle consid-
ering the circumstances. His right
hand was injured and was practically
useless. He did not bring it into play
more than half a dozen times during
the ten rounds. Smith ranged up
much smaller than Barry, but, this
did not stop his rushing tactics. Not
once did he back away under Barry
heavy fire. In the last three rounds
Barry flayed his opponent unmerci-
fully, pounding the face and body
with smashing rights and lefts. Smith
took his medicine unflinchingly and
dealt out several crushing blows
whenever Barry left his guard open.
Barry was wild, and many a knock
out wallop missed it's mark.
The Chicagoan piled up a winning
lead in the first four rounds. Smith
got his bearings in the fifth and put
up a fine article of fisticuffs until the
eighth. when Barry again took the
lead and maintained it to the end

GOVERNOR VETOES BILL
TO ENFORCE SALE OF
BREAD LOAF BY WEIGHT

Hartford, Sept. Ex-Governor Bald
wins veto of the bill regarding thu
sale of bread by weight is as fol
lows:
To the Honorable House of Represen.
81 return herewith, without my ap.
prevail bill for an act concerning
the sale of bread by weight, House
Bill No. 913 This is a bill for 9
highly penal statute. 1t would make
it henceforth criminal to do what
heretofore has been the usual and wei
known practice in the bakers trade
The terms of such "a statute should bt
plain and clear.
1t requires the attachment to each
loaf of bread baked or kept for sale
sof label or stamp, giving its weight
and the name of it's baker. The cas-
lest and natural way to attach u
would be to have the name of the
maker and the weight marked on the
pan or mold in which the dough Is
set to bake, SO as to stamp them in
upon the dough; or else to put soms
bottom of the pan or mold before the
dough is put in. In such case, should
the weight stated be the actual
weight of the dough: or the estimated
weight Of the future loaf, which
would probably be an ounce or more
less?
To stamp the loaf after baking
would be obviously impracticable. TIC
attach a label to it. after making,
would require the use of some means
of attachment, such as gum, which
would entail some danger of germ
poisoning.
The provisions that every loaf shall
be sold by weight and shall bear a
mark or label showing it's weight, If
taken literally, would subject any
baker to the risk of Imprisonment if
the weight were inaccurately stated,
though the inaccuracy might be very
small. It seems to me that to put the
baker in the position of criminal.
there should be a substantial inaccu-
racy, or else proof of an intention to
state the weight falsely.
The meaning of the provision that
every loaf shall be "sold by weight"
does mot seem clear. Is it that the
price shall be made to each retail pur-
chaser so much a pound, or so much
an ounce, thus excluding sale for
or 10 cents, as the case may be?
Bread loses weight in cooling, and
as it becomes stale. Is the stamp or
label to indicate the weight of the
loaf when it comes out of the oven, or
when it is coon, or when it is sold?
from the terms of a statute of this
nature precisely what would subject
them to criminal prosecution. 1t
seems to me that this information is
not furnished by the bill herewith re-
turned, and that a statute SO loosely
drawn ought not to- become part Of
our penal law.
SIMEON E. BALDWIN,
Governor.

Mccarthy Likely
To Replace Wagner
Fred Clark Thinks Honus Will
Play First Next Season

Manager Fred Clarke Of the Pirates
is 90 we'll pleased with Wagners SUP,
stitute, Mccarthy that the latter Will
probably get regular yop IN the
Pirate infield next season. THIS means
that Clarke will retain Wagner at nrst
and turn the short fielding station ov-
err to Mccarthy. The first base posi-
ton has given Clarke much worry
this season. The useful HonuS seems
to have solved the problem lately.
With such man as Mccarthy to MI
Hans shoes at short, Clarke can at
ford to give Wagner q new job.
When heN is at his best Wagner
makes just as good first baseman as
he does a shortstop. As an all-around
player the Teuton Is in al class by
himself. Perhaps he is not as grace
fun as Chase and other star initial
that comes his way just the same, no
matter what kind OF q batred or
thrown ball it is.
Now that Mccarthy has made good
as an infielder fans in the Smoky
City say that Wagner VIII not be
youngster, but Clarke entertains the
hope that he will develop into star
of Wagner s lustre. Until Wagner
was injured nearly a month ago NC
Carthy was forced to warm the
bench-.zs If he keeps w. his good
Carthy's job for next season will be
secure.
Already Pittsburghers are beginning
to plan for next season. Judging
from the material on hand, the Cor
sairs should be a great deal strong
er machine next year than it is at
the present time. 1t is said that
Clarke will have 70 do very little wor-
rying over any position next spring.
He has plenty of outfield material Of
high class. His catching department
looks like the strongest in the lea

little experimenting. With Camnftz,

For Season Arranged
(By Wagner.)

Gene Mccain will probably be the
manager of the Thunderbolt. football
team this season. The majority of
the club members want him and it is
expected that he will be named at the
meeting tomorrow night. Harry
Quinn was also mentioned for the po-
sition but he wouldn't take the job
unless the players changed the name
of the team to Nuggets. The players
couldn't see that, so Harry stepped
out. Jimmy Murray Is slated for the

YALE HAS GREAT

Especial from United Press.)
New Haven, Sept. 20.-With the
sarly morning giving promise of warm
weather, the scrimmage work sched-
uled for Yale'ss football practice, to-
day, probably viii be- abandoned. Drill
in the fundamentals will be resumed.
Yale is said to have a wonderful
backfeld. With such men as Captain
Howe. Reilly. Church, Baker, Phil
bin, Spa ulding and Anderson out for
positions behind the line. the coaches
are extremely optimistic. Anderson
was all-western halfback in 1909,
playing with Wisconsin. There are
seventy husky candidates practicing
on Yale Field, today. The coaching
squad is large and capable for this

Even if they don't win the flag. the
Chicago Cubs will get chance to

players will probably divide neat
