Champion Wrestler
OF World In Tacoma
For Match Tonight

Tacoma wrestling fans will en-
Joy a real treat tonight at the Ar
mory, when Champion Frank
Gotoh appears in a match with
James Asbell of Kansas City. The
match is regular scheduled one
between the champion and Jimmy
Asbell, and the latter Will make
a great effort to wrest the title
from the big man. Followers of
the sport expect a hard battle,
and those who know of Asbell
claim that he has a chance for
victory. The Kansas City wrest-
Ter is considered one of the best
Ia the business, having thrown
many of the near-champions.
Another feature on the pro-
gram is the bout between NAH
mout. the Turk, and Roeher, the
big Austrian. Both men are of
equal weight and the match be-
tween these two may prove as in
teresting as the big contest.

lat the end of his first month he
was hitting below lao, and the
fire had been turned on DAILY.
Day after day he was hammered
for carrying a counterfeit on the
lpay roll. The manager stood it
for two weeks more, and then he
did something which he expected
to regret.
When the arrangements were
completed he walked into Hardy's
room at the hotel just as the
young man was going to bed.
You know Catterson?" he ask
led. well, he wants to trade me
that lopsided, splayfooted outfield-
Ier Harmon for you. The Reds
have been tail-end team for the
last four years, but it's good
town to play in, and Catterson
treats his men well. If l didn't
like you personally, I'd probably
send you out to some minor league
but I've got a notion that you'll
get into your stride one of these
days and-well, what do you say?"
Anywhere to get away from
here" said Hardy bitterly. 81
won't forget how decent you have
been about this thing, Ben. Most
managers would have kicked me
out month ago. If can ever do
anything for you"
"Ah shut upl"said Daily gruffly.
|"Only when you get going right,
don't bust up too many games for
us. that's ALL"
Hardy tried to smile at the
pleasantly. but his heart was too
full for words. He had been ex-
pecting his release.
Catterson, a square-jawed, red
headed man, met Hardy at the
train.
Hello, youngster!" said he.
"Glad to see you. First time I
ever skinned Ben DAILY in a trade
in my life."
"The fellow you traded must
have been pretty bad" said Hardy.
mo" said Catterson, grinning.
"He was all right from the head
up and from the feet down. Feel
like going right in this afternoon"
The Reds gave Hardy a warm
welcome. His old chum, Moles,
was the shortstop of the club, and
he had been doing a little advace
work for the recruit. Hardy, dis
pirited and doubtful of his own
liability, scented a new atmosphere
as soon as he entered the club
house at the park. 1t was like
Walking into the heart of big
happy family. By the time he was
ready for the field he felt better
acquainted with the Reds than he
had ever been with the Blue Sox.
The Reds had no foolish pride;
they had been walloped so hard
and so often that they had learned
to be philosophical about it. Base
ball was more or less of joke to
them and to the whole town.

This lineup is much heavier
than at the first of the season,
especially in the line, where an
addition of weight was greatly
needed. Coblentz in the back
field will hold his own at the
punting game and the loss of
Hamilton in that respect will not
be so great as was first feared.
