HackenSchmidt Sails
In August for America

NEW YORK, July 2o.-Jack Curly
the well-known wrestling impresario,
arrived yesterday from England on the
new ocean queen, Olympic. The most
important announcement made by Jack
was that George Hackenschmidt is in
the best Of form and will leave Eng
land for here on the next trip of the
Olympic which sails from Southampton
on August 9. Also he said that Hack
enschmidt will Immediately prepare for
his match with Frank Gotch, the worlds
champion. which takes place in Chicago
on Labor Day, at the American League
Park.
When Hack left here he had already
signed up for this struggle for the
worlds title. but Curly took a special
trip abroad to make sure that the Rus
SIAN Lion would not default of the
match.
The men will wrestle for a guaranteed
purse of $32, 500, the largest sum ever
offered for grapplers in this country,
and each man is to receive a share of
the picture privileges. Hack has been
hot on the trail Of Gotch ever since
the American champion worked his IA
nous toe hold on the Russian Lion and
forced the latter TO quit and to relin-
Quish the worlds title.

ST. LOUIS. July 2O.-A showery day
greeted the Nationals on their vacation
in the Windy City. Throughout the day
the skies wept at odd periods, and most
of the lads huddled together in the
lobby until watching the bell hops run
ming around became a thrilling amuse-
ment.
Those who did venture out came back
with soaked and bedraggled clothes
and straw bOnnets.
Wild Conroy a Wreck.
"Wid" CoEroy took a stroll over to
the lake front to get a peep at the
preparations for Chicago's aviation fes-
tiHties and came back a wreck. His
straw lid was quite unpresenthble, and
the 81 bill in his pocket was wet and
mushy. He disappeared to his room
with a magazine for the remainder Of
the day.

The two victories in Chicago have
cheered the Nationals a lot, and they

Johnson Reported to Be
Planning to Lay Down

LONDON, July 2r.-That Jack John
son is planning to lay down" to Bonn
bardier Wells and permit him to win
the worlds heavyweight title in their
coming fight was charged in sporting
circles today. II is openly alleged by
men 'in the know" that the prelimln-
airy negotiations between johnson and
Wells representatives have taken on
many suspicious aspects.
johnson, sporting circles hear, is will
ing to LAY down to the Englishman
because he is sore on the way he
has been treated by the American
sporting men. He also realizes that he
is getting along in years and wants to
clean up as much money as possible IN
a lump. Incidentally, the promoters OF
the fight expect to take in million
dollars at the gate by holGing the fight
in a giant stadium which will seat
10000 people.
