A number of very thrilling stories

SPORTING NEWS OF THE WORLD
TO BOLSTER UP MOHAWK
HOCKEY SEWN THIS Wick

Steps are being taken to bolster up
the Mohawk hockey team and from
present indications it will not be long
before that team will be one of the
strongest i'm the country. AS MENTION
ed last evening assurances have been
received that Bill Mahan will sign
Mohawk contract and will appear with
that team through the remainder Of
the season. 1t is also likely that
either Cundy or Monette will be signed
to tend goal until the arrival of Cross
or possibly through the rest of the
as early as expected. The former Mo-
hawk player is located in Canada this
winter and is playing on one of the
strongest sevens in the dominion. 1t is
also stated that negotiations are pend
ing which may lead to the signing of
Carrigan the aggressive right wing of
the team which brought several cham
pionships to Hancock i'm years gone by
and possibly Waara, who also appear
ed with the Hancock seven. Carrigan
has not played for the winter but it is
believed that with a little practice nc
would round into his usual form
Waara is already i'm good condition
having played i'm several contests for
the Houghton seven.
1t is believed the addition of these
players would fiji all of the weak spots
in the Mohawk team and make that
aggregation capable of meeting any
other team in the county upon an even
basis. Arrangements are now pending
for other games for the Mohawk team
to be played at the Palestra and al
the Glaciadom..

GOTCH Is WILLING TO
ELIMINATE TOE HOLD

Lincoln. Neb., Feb. 16.-They can
far as Frank Gotch is concerned. This
agitation against twisting the pedal
end of the human anatomy isn't Nvor-
rying a certain person from Iowa.
Gotch can get along pretty well under
any conditions and If they want to
bar the toehold he has few more
moves that haven't been uncovered.
II can stand for the barring of the
toehold," said Gotch yesterday. "As a
matter Of fact, Wednesday night was
the first time | used that particular
hold i'm a long time. l threw Zbyszko
and Mahmout without annoying their
feet and they are considered pretty
good men. / made Hackenschmidt quit
without once twisting his toes and he
is called the greatest athlete on earth
The only objection l have to barring
toe hold is the fact that it will make
matches resemble the Graeco- Roman
style. When they once get started
barring the toeholds the next move
will be to bar all leg holds. That will
make it pretty soft for the big husky
foreigners. In my opinion Graeco-
Roman match is a pretty sad affair.
There is no action to the old style of
wrestling and | have discovered that
the public wants action. However.
am willing to meet any man in the
business with the toe hold barred IL
they will only stop at the toehold.'

HOLD CARNIVAL
IN MIDSUMMER
PARKER AMUSEMENT COMPANY
TO BRING NEW SHOWS TO
LAuRIUM FOR ENTERTAIN-
MENT IN JULY.

Plans are being prepared in the viii
lage of Laurum for a midsummer
carnival to be held at the Laurium
driving park some time during the
month OF July. Arrangements were
made with Con Kennedy, manager of
the Parker Bros. Amusement company
on his recent visit to the copper coun-
try for a number of shows and special
attractions, and it is expected other
features also will be provided.
The Parker Bros. Amusement COM
pany carries about fifteen shows all
Of which are new and up-to-date. The
attractions have now grown TO such
proportions that it will be almost inn
possible for them TO appear on the
streets and for this reason, il has
been decided that the carnial will be
held at the Laurium driving park
where plenty of space is afforded for
all of the shows. The Parker Bros
Amusement company is well known in
this city, it having provided special
ment held here two years ago. Man
ager Kennedy assures those who are
back of the proposed carnival That
many improvements have been made
by the company this year and that the
shows are better than ever. Many of

BILL LANG AND
LANCFORD READY
HEAVYWEIGHT AND
BOSTON TAR BABY" TO MEET
IN LONDON THIS EVENING
FOR TITLE.

London, Feb 16.-Bill Lang, cham
pion heavyweight fighter of Australia,
and sam Langford, the Canadian born
negro who is now generally recognized
as one of the best of the big fighters in
America, have completed the work of
preparation for their 20-round contest
at Mclntosh's Olympia Annex. No
heavyweight battle since the Gunner
Moir- Tommy Burns fight has aroused
so much interest and enthusiasm
among the London sporting fraternity.
The advance sale of seats indicates
that a record breaking crowd will be
at the ringside to see the two big
fighters meet.
The fighter from America will enter
the ring favorite unless there is a
sudden and unwarranted switching of
the betting odds. Langford is no
stranger on this side of the water and
the ring critics well remember the
ease with which he disposed of Tiger
Smith, JEFF Thorne and Ian Hague,
who were among the most prominent
of the heavyweight that England has
produced in late years.
LAngford's greater ring experience is
figured as one of his chief assets in his
| fight with the Australian. He has been
i'm the ring more than ten years and
has taken part i'm 100 battles. He
never has suffered a knockout and
has lost less than a dozen battles on
referee decisions.
In Lang the negro will meet a
younger man who has made a remark
ably good showing considering the time
he has been in the ring. The Austria
liam has nearly all the natural advan-
tages over Langford. He has a longer
reach, is many pounds heavier and is
an inch or two taller than the man
| from America. He is said To be re-
markedly fast on his feet for a man of
his size, but i'm this respect he will
have no advantage over the negro
Which of the two can hit the harder is
a matter of opinion, for both are
known to have a stiff punch. Lang
ford can stand terrific beating. and
/
IT takes more than a love tap to put
him down. The Australian is aggres-
sive in numbering sort of way, and
Langford is always after his man. so
there should not be a slow moment i'm
the fight as long as ii lasts.
The American outclasses the Aus
tralian in only one thing. but that is
the most essential in the ring. 1t is In
the knowledge Of the fighting game
and ring generalship that Langford
excels. And this excellence is ex-
pectcd to win him the fight. Langford
himself is as confident as can be over
the result of the contest. He has
trained faithfully since his arrival IN
England and appears to be i'm the best
of condition for the battle. If he wins
he will return TO America TO renew his
endeavors to get on a match with Jack
Johnson for the worlds championship

which 1t is believed will appeal
TO the residents of this city.
The business men of Laurium are
enthusiastic over the project of hold
ing q midsummer carnival and be-
lieve that ii will go a long way to-
wards placing Laurium on the map

was provided for Calumet or Laurium
last summer and those who are back
of the carnival project believe that
an attraction of this kind would prove
a big success this year.
