World Tour For Gotch
If He Beats Lion Hack

HUMBOLDT, Iowa, Aug. s1.-Emil
Klank, manager Of Frank Gotch. who
looks after his business and lets out the
inside information" acting as general
overseer about the camp, and who pro-
tects the champion from the many little
annoyances that are bound to spring up
from day to day in connection with the
training here, announces that Frank is
getting some tempting offers for touring
exhibitions after the match. The one
which is being most favorably consid-
cred ts an offer of $4,000 for a years
time, in which tour of the world would
be completed.
The itinerary Of the trip would include
America, the British Isles, Germany,
France, Austria, Russia, Australia,
Japan, Africa, and, in fact, every coun-
try except the Philippine Islandc.
The visit to, Africa would embrace
six weeks hunting trip in the tCngles,
and this part of the offer appeals
strongly to the champion Gotch also
looks upon the offer as q fine oppor-
tunity TO give his wife an exceptionally
interesting voyage. However. Gotch
and Klank will not decide definitely on
their future plans until after the mix-up
next Labor Day, as 1t Is expected better
inducements are yet to come, especially
If Hack is defeated, which Is conri-
IDENTIFY anticipated.

Beaten At Every Point By
Englishman, New Yorker
Wants Another Chance.
Facts of Big Fight

NEW YORK. Aug. u.-"Knockout"
Brown must realize today that he has
a long road to travel before landing in
the championship class for Matt Wells,
the dark and bulky British boxer, hand
ed him in a walloping in Madison
Square Garden that he will not soon
forget. At every stage in the contest
the foreigner was his master.
Brown was not quite in shape" said
Dumb Dam. Morgan. his manager. to-
day, land will seek another match with
him. Knockout was a rr1fe stale and
his judgment of distance was not what
1t should have been. I shall try TO get
Wells on for another bout right here
in New York for think my boy can
beat him and beat him bad .-
Brown wasn't so very hard" said
Wells today. Hes a swinger, that's
all, a bally swinger. Stay away from
his left swing and You can outlook him
easily. That's all 1 did. II he wants
another bout I'm willing"
Not since the days of Jim Corbett
and Tom Sharkey has such a throng
of boxing enthusiasts crowded into the
old Garden. Fourteen thousand fight
fans were present when the boxers en-
tered the ring and 1t was estimated
that the house was worth $4,000. Special
officers throughout the vast building
kept the fans from betting and large
signs calling attention to the law were
posted everywhere.
Brown never had chance against
Wells. The Britisher's left jab shot In
side of Browns guard tme and time
again and so puzzled the crosseyed boy
that he was powerless. He missed
swing after swing only to have that
lab poked into his nose with tantahz.ng
frequency. Wells always took care OF
himself on the breakaways, Brown be-
ing unable to get in any OF his famous
inside boxing.
Brown began to bore in when the
third round got under way, but found
Wells waiting for him. Twice Wells
iabbed Brown on the nose, making him
swing wildly. Suddenly Wells ducked
into a swing and Brown followed 1t up
with hard body blows. The round was
even, though Brown was bleeding at
the nose.
a crashing blow on the mouth caused
the claret to spurt and speedy hooks
to the law sent him reeling about the
ring. Nothing but his strength saved
him. a.
round after round Brown rushed once
more in the ninth and had an even
thing of II. In the tenth, though, the
clever footwork and scientific 5abblng
of wells made Brown look foolsh.

LOGAN CUNNINGHAM
TO.BE IN CHARGE OF
BANKERS SATURDAY
Former Central High School
Man Here For Short
Vacation.

Logan Cunningham, the former Gen.
tral High School athlete and field coach
of football at Princeton this fall, will
control the Benkers' team from the
bench Saturday, the regular coach be-
ing called away at that time.
"Cunny" has been prominent in ath-
letics at Princeton for the past few
years. and in addition to knowing the
national game from every angle, is
thoroughly acquainted with the Bank
ers' style of play. having been coached
in the high schools by the Bankers di.
rector of destinies.
Since June Cunningham has been play
ink in Winnipeg, Manitoba, returning
to Washington the flrst CT the week
for a short stay preliminary to taking
up his duties at Princeton
"Cunny' is a good coach. as evidenced
by his selection as football coach, and
he can be depended upon to make the
Bankers play ball every minute of
the game. He knows many of the play
ers on the Cornell team, their weak
nesses and strength. SO you can look
to him to fight the Tigers at every
turn.

Madden May Put In
Bid For FitZ Herbert

NEW YORK, Aug. a.-Racing men
will watch with keen interest next
week the auctioning OF s. c. Hildreth's
horses. whose disposal calls attention
anew to the decline of racing follow
ing the passage OF so much adverse
legislation during the past few years.
The center of attraction at the Hill
dreth sale will be Fttz Herbert, and
there is much speculation as to how
large a price this remarkable horse
will bring. A year ago Hildreth re-
fused $4,000 for him. He sold. him to
]. e. Madden once for $4,000 and then
bought him back for $4,000.
Fftz Herbert's racing career is prac-
tically at an end, SO that his sole value
Is that of a stallion for breeding pur-
poses. 1t is supposed that Madden will
be one Of the bidders.

CORNELL EXPECTS
TO PLAY IN COMING
|NTERC|TY SERIES
Logical Washington Team,
He Says, If Title Is
Not Decided.

Where anyone got the idea that Cor
nell is willing to lie: the Bankers repre-
sent Washington in the intercity series,
should the championship not be decid-
ed by Monday, is a mystery to me"
stated Manager Cornell today.
Cornell won the championship Of the
city last year. and has not been defeat
ed this year, and is, therefore. the logi-
cal candidate to represent Washington
should no decision be reached before
Monday by playing the intersectional
series.
1--WE are not handing the Bankers
anything. We defeated them last year.
and are not disposed to hand them the
championship this year unless they de-
feat us in the playing series That
I said anything else must have been a
joke. because haven't any idea OF
Cornell dropping out unless defeated"
This Is in refutation of a rumor 20
the effect that Cornell was willing 10
allow the Bankers 10 represent Wash
should rain put a halt tsDthe remain
ing intersectional games.
Should II be impossible to play any
games before next Monday. the date
for the first of the intercity games. II
will be up to the amateur commission
to declare a winner, SO that Washing
ton will have representation In the
series.
The commission Is up against It, with
five games remaining to be played, and
no prospects Of a game before Satur-
day. Southland, while not looked upon
as a pennant winning possibility, must
have consideration IN the play-on. and
II is a problem for the commission to
decide, how to play of five games In
one day. It is probable that should II
be impossible to play before SATURDAY
one game between Cornell and
Southland will be played, followed by
a game between the Bankers and Cor
nell, and the winner declared on the
standing after these games.

Brown May Make
Trouble For Pimlico

BALTIMORE, Aug. 31.-one of Curley
Browns most trusted lieutenants has
been in town, and said that the Laurel
track would surely be ready, and that
the race meeting there would start Oc-
tober without fail
Speaking with regard to the opposi-
ton of Pimlico, he said that Mr.. Brown
regretted that, and would do anything
In his power to avoid It. but If no salts
factory arrangements could be made,
Laurel would race all the month OF
October.
He further stated that If Pinlico
barred the horses that run at Laurel,
then Mr.. Brown would bar all the horses
that run at Pimlico from his tracks,
including Laurel, Jacksonville. and
Havana.
AS at present planned the Brown
tracks will give $50 days racing right
of the reel. The circuit will begin at
Laurel, continuing there for twenty
days; then thirty days at Jacksonville,
commencing about Thanksgiving; then
sixty days at the New Almandarez
course in Havana, and then back to
Jacksonville for thirty days more.
With 80 days racing to offer the
horsemen, the Brown people think they
would get the better of any attempt to
outlaw those who take part in the
Laurel meeting.

ST. LOUIS. Aug. a.-All the fond
hopes OF the WASHINGTON delegates to

terday by the Denver team, when the
Washingtonians were defeated by a
score of 9 to 5. Having lost its first
game. the Washington team is entire

teams are to play of the finals.
The defeat Of the Capital City printers

freely, but succeeded in striking out
fourteen men. But one of Denver's
players was walked.
The Washington team will be enter

The farm lands Of all sections
are generally worth what is ask
ed for them. There are fine Op-
portunities il every section. But
it's intended simply to call atten-
ton to the really marvelously low
prices at which Southeastern lands
of good quality may be purchas
ed, and to illustrate the great va
lue of southern lands as compar-
ed with the prices OF lands in any
other potion Of the continent. The
present conditions will not con-
tinue. That prices Of lands are so
low today in the southeast is large
ly due to the fact that there is not
now in the section enough farmers
to cultivate them and because
their valuable character is not gem
orally understood by farmers in
other sections who arc looking for
locations. The people of other
portions of the country are rapid
ly gaining a correct knowledge
of the value of southern lands and
of the splendid opportunities they
present, and the movement of peo-
pie to the southeast which has
started In so heavily this year will
in time supply the farmers for the
now idle lands. This will result
in making the prices of farm
lands more nearly in accordance
with their real values. Incidental
! ly, it means that the, agricultural
production of the southeastern
states and the growth of popula-
ton and wealth in that section
will increase at an unusual rate
