eliminating a great many forfeitures

that they can play~with but one team

played with three, be suspended.

Gotch Is Preparing For
Labor Day Bout

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Mat Champion
Frank Gotch has corralled about all
the great wrestling talent In the coun-
try for his training camp, SO eager Is
the Iowa grappler to be in prime con-
dition for his bout on Labor Day at
Comiskey's park with George Hacken-
schmidt, the Russian Lion.
Followers of wrestling today were as
tonished to learn thar. despite the big
corps Of athletes at Gbtch's camp, Hum
Emil Klank, had sent for Farmer Burns
and Fred BeeIl to join the camp crew
as soon as possible.
Farmer Burns said one of the EN-
pire A. c. officials today. was the big
gest aid Gotch had in his preparation
for the memorable bout with the Rus
sian at Dexter Pavilion four years ago.
Burns knew that Hack would not keep
his temper II he had TO play a waiting
game, and forecast every phase Of the
long, monotonous, but victorious con-
test from the Gotch point of view
Last winter Farmer Burns was a fac
tor in the retirement playlet staged by
the Gotch family, but that was only
another indication Of Burns quick
thinking.
with Beell, the greatest man of his
weight In the world and once victor
over Gotch for the title, Qotch will get
mis- best teacher in speed. But II these
two wise ones are not enough, what
are We 10 say about Rogers, Jess Wes-
tergaard. and Henry Ordemdn? The
latter is the Minnesota blacksmith
whose strength might have made him
the champion wrestler If he had had a
more resourceful brain, VINO used to
travel with Gotch for exhibition mat
events.
Many a time Gotch has told me that
Ordeman was a poor exhibition man
that the Hercules worked In every bout
as II his life depended upon winning 1t,
although it was only a phase of some
stage attraction"
Klank. like Manager Cu-ley, who has
Hack under contract. is finding the pre-
liminary season a flesh reducer. Since
taking daily road work out in Iowa
with Gotch. Klank, himself very good
wrestler a few years ago, mas taken OFF
thirty pounds in weight Curley says he
thinks so much about Hacks training
at Shoreham, England, that he treats
himself to a daily run on the boule-
wards. and is losing weight almost as
rapidly as Klank.

Newest Men Bear Brunt Of
the Work In the Big
Leagues.
ATHLETICS, SOX, AND
CUBS EXCEPTIONS

or the work on most of the winning
clubs in both big leagues.
Youngsters have put four OF five
teams in the race in the National
League, and have kept two of four
American League teams in the first d.
vision. The Athletics, White sox, and

than one-half Of the Cardinal victories
and made the Cardinals contenders for
the pennant. Ferry and Adams have
won almost one-third of the Pirates
victories. Ferry has a record of four

lies. are the star pair of youngsters.
They have won one-half Of the Phil
lies victories. Alexander has won
twenty-one and lost five, and Chalmers
has won seven and lost two.

Richie. Reulbach, and Mcintyre, ali
veterans. King Cole has helped with
nine victories in twelve games. Walsh
and White, veterans, have been the
mainstays of the White Sox.
The Athletics have won with Bender,
Plank, Coombs, and Morgan, but would
not be in second place II seven VIC
tories by Harry Krause, in ten games,
had been defeats.

Western North Carolina
Lays Claim To Ty Cobb

ASHEVILLE, N. c., Aug. 6-There
appears to be no manner of doubt that
Tyrus B. Cobb, Of the Detroit Ameri-
cans, Is a western North Carolinian, d
man of the mountains. Here, too, as
with the cases of most of our great
men, Tyrus left the State to achieve
greatness, though not before he had
learned to play ball.
W. y. Cooper, of the American Lum-
ber Company, is authority for the
statement that Ty Cobb. was born and
reared in Cherokee county, and his in
formation came from an authentic
source. Mr.. Cooper has known who he
thinks must be Ty Cobb's father, john
Cobb, for number of years, but 1t was
only short time ago that he learned
that Ty Cobb belonged to this family.
The Cobbs live in NotIa township, at
Cobb's postoff1ce, only few miles from
Murphy, Mr.. Cooper's former home.
A little more than a year ago Ty
Cobb visited his relatives in Cherokee
and stopped at the Dickey House, at
Murphy, one night. Mrs. Dickey in
formed Mr.. Cooper of the fact that Ty
Is a member Of the Cherokee family.
Mrs. Dickey, who Is well known all
over the State as The proprietress OF
the Dickey House. used to live near the
Cobbs In Notla township.

Cleveland Team On
HoOdoo Eastern Trip

CLEVELAND, Aug. 5.-The Maps are
on their hoodoo trip Of the season. The
second trip east has always been a
disastrous one.
The Maps have won two and lost
seven games on the present trip, but
have a chance TO do much better than
on several previous trips. In 1904 the
Maps started on the second eastern trip
in first place with 113 points advantage
over the second team. Ten straight
defeats In the East pulled the Maps
out Of first place.
In 1905 the Maps lost twelve out of
fourteen games on the second trip. and
the services Of Bill Bradley, Mig Clarke,
Harry Bay and George Stovall. The
same trip lost first place to the Maps
in 1908, and brought the Maps reverses
in 1909 and 1910.

Emmanuel has played less games than
any other in the league, owing to many
postponements during the season. Al
though this team has been at the bot
tom of the list during almost the en-
tire season, there is a chance for II to
climb by winning the remaining games
on the postponed game schedule How
ever, the players do not seem to take
much interest. in the success of the
team, so that II will probably not be
much of stumbling block for the

Such a close race as has been had in
the Olympia League this year Is bound
to keep up the interest from the point
of the spectator, and good crowds have
been on hand at the majority of the
contests. While the league is classed in
Class B by the amateur commission,
the teams play good, fast, and consist
ent ball, and the games are, in the large
part, closely contested.
The schedule is due to run until a

Baseball Notes.

The Boston Nationals pull on more
deals than any other club in the fast
set, but the deals never seem to
strengthen the Beaneaters enough to
enable them to climb out of the cellar.
Why the Brooklyns are no higher in
the race can easily be seen by glance
at the Superbas' batting figures. Only
two men are batting over .26O, and the
teams average Is 300. Eddie thinner
man and Bert Tooley, the two Eastern
I.eaguers of whom much was expected,
are both hitting under 200.
Hal Chase is hitting harder these
days than at any time in his career.
All through the slump against the
Athletics and in the West the most
prominent feature of the New York
attack was Hars hard and timely club
birg. Rare, indeed, is the day that Hal
does not crack out at least a double
or a single.
