PLAN WRESTLING
TOURNEY ON 4TH
CORNISH STYLE TOURNAMENT
TO BE CONDUCTED IN LAUR-
IuM-MATcH FOR YOUNG
MILLER.

Laurium business men are already
considering plans for the celebration
of Independence Day, July 4th. In
addition To the midsummer carnival.
which it has been practically decided
will commence or Monday, July Bird,
numerous local features will be ar.
ranged which will give Laurium the
biggest celebration in the copper
country.
one of the features planned Is a
Cornish style wrestling tournament
which probably will be held at the
Palestra skating rink. Entries will
be secured from all parts of the up
per peninsula and all of the best
known opponents OF the jackets will
participate. Prizes will be hung III
which will be well worth striving for.
A meeting of the business men inter
ested in this project will be held
shortly to prepare plans for that
event.
Another feature which probably will
De secured will be a catch-as-catch-
can style match, with Walter Miller,
wclterweisht champion of the world
as one of the participants. Miller mas
practically consented to the arrange
ments for the match. His probable
opponent has not yet been chosen, but
an effort may be made to sign Sailor
Jack of Duluth as the latter has long
been DESTROYS of a match with inc
champion and has many admirers VINO
believe him capable of givinS Miller
a hard run.
These features. in addition to the
carnival attractions, which in them
selves will provide a more elaborate
program than has ever before peen
attempted in the copper country ana
the usual fireworks and parades' VIII
give Laurium the most elaborate and
varied Fourth of July program In tne
history of the copper country. All
effort will be made to prevail upon
the business men of Red jacket W
cooperate with those of Laurium. As
Keweenaw county is to celebrate l's
semi -centennial this summer there Is
little doubt that the residents OF tha'
county will help to swell the croWuS
at The Laurium carnival, which is ar
ranged partly in honor of that occa-
sion There will be no celebration Oh
the Fourth in Hancock this year anu
special transportation arrangements
will be made for the benefit or PORT
age Lake people who care to attehu
the big Laurium demonstration Ihese
numerous factors will undoubtedly
contribute to the success of the Laur-
ium celebration and help to make II
the biggest on record.

S2O,OOO,OOO THIS SUMMER

New York, March 25.-The an
nouncement of the Jockey club that
there will be no racing i'm New York
state this year is the chief topic of
discussion i'm sporting circles. Just
what effect the action of the Jockey
club will have on thoroughbred racing
throughout the country is difficult for
followers of the sport here to estimate.
The action affects eight running
tracks in this state. The aggregate
value of the plants thus made idle is
about $12,5O0,OO0, divided as follows:
Belmont park. $2,5OO,OOO; Sheepshead
Bay, $2,5OO,OOO; Brooklyn, $1,5OO,OOO;
Jamaica. 100000; Brighton Beach,
S., 0O0,O00 Empire City, $1,000, 900;
Aqueduct. 100000; Saratoga, $1,000
900. Fully a thousand thoroughbreds
will be thrown out of training and
about 10000 persons employed directly
or indirectly i'm connection with the
racing game. VIII be compelled 10 seek
work elsewhere.
The financial loss from the closing
of the tracks, as estimated by racing
men here. will be in the neighborhood
of s2OOOo,O0O a year. This includes
the loss of interest on the real estate
and other investments Then il is
figured that patrons of racing have
been accustomed to spend about s10,-
10000 annually in New York city and
large sums also in Saratoga and Buff
falo. The annual expenditures of the
racing associations have generally ex-
ceeded S6,OOO,OOO and the railroads
share i'm the disbursements has in
cluded about $1,5OO,OOO spent for fares
and freights.

PERFORMERS WENT TOO FAR.
New York Racing Man Accuses Law
Makers With Hypocrisy.

New York. March Recommending
on the announcement that none of the
Jockey club race tracks will open this
year because of the law which makes
owners and directors responsible for
betting, August Belmont. chairman OF
the Jockey club. said today:
while. of course, II is not impossl-
bile that we will have racing again in
this state, the only way in which II
may be brought about is through RAJ
tional legislation.
"In trying to destroy the bookmak-
ers. i'm which they had justihable sup
port the reformers have gone too far
and have injured a great industry and
popular sport.
Those who are responsible for this
situation gained the confidence and
support of many by a disavowal OF hos
tility to racing itself and an expression
of admiration for the horse am
now convinced that II was hypocrisy
and that they have accomplished what
they sought"

Manager Chase Thinks He Has Solved
Problem for Yankees.

There is always some position on a
ball club which the manager calls the
hoodoo job. Second base has been the
one which has given the New York
Americans the most trouble. Howev-
er. Hal Chase is wearing n smile a
yard wide these days, due to the fact
that he has found man whom he says
can cover the keystone sack, and what
is more, the player himself has stated
that he has been waiting for some
time to get a seat in the rocking chair.
Laporte and Gardner event bad at
second base for the Yankees last seas
on. and when some player did go good
injuries quickly vacated that particu-
lar position again.
While there is loads Of time to tell
how Jack Knight will take care of that
job, the player says that when they
get him In there they will never get
him out of 1t. There is only one thing
worrying knight. and that is that some
OF the new men will not come up to
the big league stuff and he will be
compelled to go back to playing short.

Monroe, La, March 25.-Dellas C.
for the Detroit club. The showing
made by Gainor in the New Orleans
trip has demonstrated that he has the
necessary ability. Gainor plays the
initial sack in fine form and he can hit
as well as run the bases. Galnor will
work north with the regulars under
the watchful eye of Manager Jen-
nings. Hughey has practically decided
to play Gainor on the initial sack.
John Ness, the other contender for
the first base position. made a good
record with the Tigerettes on the
Vicksburg trip. He hit over 400, but

not as finished as Gainor's.

COBB PLANS TO
BECOME ACTOR
TIGER oUTFiELDER RECEIVES
MANY ALLURlNG OFFERS
TO GO ON THE.
STAGE.

Monore. la, March 22.-It is not at
all improbable that Ty Cobb may go on
the stage next winter in a vaudeville
act of some sort. Several managers
have been after the Peach to go on
the boards and some of the offers made
him have been attractive from salary
standpoint. Up to date, Tvs engage
ments have been such that he has
passed up the proposition, but nexs
fall he will be ready to consider an
offer.
Ty hasn't decided yet what sort of
an act he will attempt. A monologue
baseball sketch. moving picture lee
ture and number OF other plans have
been considered, but so far the Geor-
gian hasn't been able to make up his
mind Just what he wants to do. There
is no doubt that with any sort of an
attractive act, Cobb would be a great
card in vaudeville, for hundreds OF
persons would be willing to pay money
lust to see him before the footlights.
Cobb says that he has plenty of con-
fidence. and that he belives he could
get away with anything he attempted
in the line of a vaudeville skit. He
has been called upon for speeches in
theatres on several occasions and has
been there with the flow of talk every
time out. Having seen Mathewson
and some of the other baseball actors
Ty doesn't think that there is much
for him to beat in making good, Geo
Moriarty may be asked to arrange a
sketch for the championship swatter
and 1t Is possible that one or more ball
players would be carried to assist Ty-
rus entertain the public.

were drawn by hand-painted score
cards in green and gold with tiny
hearts and Cupids and good luck en-
blems of wishbones and horse shoe
nesting among the flowers. Sand
wiches and ice tea we're served at
the table upon the arrival of the
guests.
The guests were later invited into
the dining room, and each found at
her place a ladyfinger, TO which was
tied a diamond engagement ring. and
to her place card was attached a gold
wishbone. The secret was out, even
before the ribbons extending from
each place to a large golden heart,
hanging from the chandelier were
pulled out bearing on the end a tiny
golden heart, telling of the plans of
the wedding-the time, the place and
the attendants.
