Dcs Moines river in the middle Of a
heavy growth Of trees. 1t consists of
a large handball court. a regulation
wrestling stage. and II dressing and

For the past few weeks Gotch has
been doing hardly anything but road
work to keep his muscles in shape,
SO that lie will not become sore and
stiff when the real heavy work begins.
The plan now is for the champion to
start in every afternoon at about $50
for a wrestling match with his helpers,
which will last on the start aOout
twenty-five minutes.
As the days advance the time will
be gradually heightened until at the
end of August Gotch will be wrestling
with oil the speed and strength he has
in him for q full stretch Of two to two
and a half hours. He expects another
terrific struggle Of endurance with the
Russian Lion and so will spare him
self no pains in hardening his muscles
for a long drawn out struggle.
Gotch will have some Of the best
wrestlers in the country to help him.
They will come in pairs to stay a def
mite length of time and will be sue
ceeded by others who are capable OF
assisting him in special stages OF the
game. Big Rogers, who weighs go
pounds. will give him the Juggling
work, while such as Beel and Ordeman
will develop his speed and skill.

of the time and is to act in the role of
Professor Burns. Kid Cutler. Jesse

Of other notables will be on hand.

The men will wrestle for a guaran-
teed purse of $32,50O. the largest sum
ever offered for grapplers in this u
try, and each man is to receive a share
of the picture privileges. Hack has

. MORGAN CAUSES LAUGHTER
Smash on Jaw Makes Him Afraid
Of High Ones.

Considerable merriment Is al.
ways afforded to fan and fanette
whenever "Cyrano" Morgan. the
Philadelphia Americans veteran
pitcher. steps toward the plate to
make his bow as Il batter. Cy
usually bats with one foot at the
water bucket and the other out
of the grounds. and some OF his
swings look as funny as a g.
raffe trying to play croquet.
But there is a reason for that.
Cyrus was playing for st. Paul
one day when a wild busher on
one Of the other clubs tore loose
q fast one that smashed Cyrus
in the jaw. broke up all his dem
tai work and had him expecto-
rating teeth for ten minutes.
In addition, he got a cash in
his map that required several
stitches as we'll as marring the
contour of his classic features.
Since that day Cyrano has al
ways been in mortal fear Of
right handlers, though he says
that he can hit southpaws as
well as any league leader.

HIGH BALL NOT EFFECTIVE.
Ty Cobb Says Pitchers Who Use Low

Ty Cobb Says Pitchers Who Use Low
Curve Get Best Results.
Ty Cobb is Of the opinion that with
the new ball now in vogue no pitcher
who uses a high ball can be effective.
He says that the lively ball when pitch
ed high can be hit just hard enough
to make long flies, and while these
would ordinarily have been putouts,
they are now long hits, because the
ball is more lively. ut has been my
observation" he argues, that the
pitchers who are keeping the ball
low are those who r getting best
results. The ball has much to do with
this, and. Furthermore, there are more
high ball hitters now than there used
to be. The batters have mastered the
high ball, but most Of them are weak
on the low ones"
