Gotch Made Unknown"
 Look Like "3O Centsv
Patrons at Wrestling Bouts Not Over Enthusiastic Lundin Sandello Match Was Well Staged.

Frank Gotch, heavyweight wrest- evening at the state armory threw Prof. Jim Atlas Unknown in two straight falls, the first in nine min- utes and the second in three About | 400 enthusiasts turned out to see the contest.
 The Unknown" was introduced to the gathering as the "Unknown." He had been pictured as a s-alwart pos sessing hurley shoulders. with the massive chest. As a matter of fact the Unknown" was a big man, but his bigness consisted in those portions of his anatomy above the belt line.
 Those who were there to see Gotch were compensated. Others are in today. It was the first appearance in the city of the champion since he learned the game here under Atlas years ago. He possesses his speed of old, the speed which has earned for him the title of champion. There or play, last evening, who went so far as to state that he was not as good as Zbyszko, But that is a mat ter of opinion. Prof Atlas who knows size up a. wrestler, states that if the two ever get together in a match to a finish, the Pole will win.
 Getting back to the match. Gotch was the master from the start, the unknown" being on the defensive throughout. At times the Unknown" did make attempts to get away from holds, Gotch letting up a bit to allow his man to slip away. When the first fall had been gathered in nine min- utes on scissors and leg hold the men went at 1t again. The second fall was secured in three minutes on a half Nelson and leg hold.
 However there was one real bout on the bill. It had been advertised that Hjalmar Lundin and Sand ailo would meet and have it out. 1t did appear that these men tried their best to bring about falls on the oth er.. Theirs was good stiff match, and in way compensated for the other ex- hibition. Lundin secured two straight falls, the first in 25 minutes and the second in 10 minutes. The bout was characterized by rough work on the part of Sandello, who was handed a few rounds of misses by the crowd. However, Lundin took out all the Agtt there was in the lightweight champion. The first fall was ed on a toe hold many of those present believing that Sandello's leg might be broken before he would allow his shoulders to touch the canvas. A scissors hold and bar lock turned the trick in the second fall,

CHANGES PROPOSED AT NEWFIELD PARK
New Entrance for Auto and Horse Drawn Teams-No More Clogging of Third Sack and Left Field by. Conveyances.

Bids are now being received by Manager Gene McCann for the remod- cling of the grand stand and the hleachers at Newheld Park and the grading of the diamond and outfeld. The renovatng will start as soon as weather will permit.
 On the plea of many fans, a new entrance for automobiles and carri- ages will be made in the outfield. In the future the old horse gate at New field avenue and Eagle street will be closed up, while another gate will be opened at Newfeld avenue at the ex- treme southern end of the field, in the rear of the large Bull Durham siign. In the future no autos Or carrages will be allowed in left field, but will be confined to that hitherto unused er'rtory in deep center and right fields.
 This new change will be welcome addition. Many a good game was spoiled last season through the placing of autos around left field. Ground rules had to be resorted to in every contest, the most man being allowed to gather being a three basser' while the crowds were the greater. two bags was allowed. In this manner many a hit good for more than two and sometimes more than three bases spO- led. The records show that there was not a home run made on the dia- mond last season. What fan does not yearn for the swish of the old hiick- ory meeting with the horsehide, fol- lowed by a white sphere floating into unoccupied territory.
 There follows the great spurt of the batter to make of his hits as many bases as he can, a sprint of the out fielder to meet up with the elusive bounder; a great throw in from the outer gardens to the guardians of the sacks; then most likely great slide into the base by the runner; ending up with a pretty catch and tag by the baseman with either "Safe'' or You're out'' by the lump" All these little things, everyone of which so to make up the greatest known sport, were missed last season, but they'll be the go this year.
 Manager McCann has been trying to secure Pitcher Charles Becker of Washington, who was with Youngs- town. Ohio. last season. He has been tipped off that Becker was a coming port sider. and tried to get his lines on the youth. Within the past few days he has learned that Becker went bad at the end of last season, through an injury to his salary wing. On re- ceiving the news, McCann called off negotiations with the Youngstown management. 'I've got enough pitch CTS anyway" says McCann, eff they go bad, I can so into the bigger leagues and have them lend some of their extra help to me-"

Keep it up Blondy for you will not be with the boys much longer. < 1t is rumored that Marshall Banks. captain of the Locomobile five, has been given the hook. The reason for Banks dismissel as far as can be as- certainad are as follows: Marshall wanted to take Anchor McGuira off the team, as he has been rolling very poorly Of late. But he got himself in wrong with the other members of the. team in trying to pull off the trick.
 Bramberg of the Coulter & McKen- zie quintet had to stand for a whole lot of joshing from his si1opfnates, after the smoke of Tuesday nights match game had cleared away.
