Burke And Papke
 In Phoney Fight
Spectators Hiss as Men CIinch and Wrestle For Ten
 Rounds

What promised to be one of the most spectacular bouts ever witness ed evolved into an uproarious and dis the R~ooklyn tar and Billy Papke, the alleged middleweight champion, exchanged greetings for ten rounds at the Twentieth Century A. C., New York, last night. If lPapke ever really was deluded with the idea that he was the legitimate champion he relinquish- ed all claim last evening, for he put up a disgraceful exhibition for a top notcher.
 The spectators were so disgruntled and disgusted with the affair that many vented with their disapproval as early as the third round, when they fairly beSeeched the referee to call a halt to the farce. Some even intimat- ed Papke was fighting under a pull.' Others went further and said that Papke permitted Burke to last the wagered on Burke at the odds of 1 to that the Sailor would win. These alarmists backed their contention by saying that Papke neglected his train ing for the bout and was in no condi- tion to battle.
 The actions of Referee White in the last minute of the fight gives a fair eAdulpic -oI lHe way lhS SpeCloloi ? felt over the matter. When the final minute was entered White simply leaned back on the ropes and let the "gladiators'' do as they pleased. The only real fighting of the evening was crowded into the fifteen seconds af- ter the bell had announced the end of the bout. To make it look realistic many said the combatants began to mix matters hard after the bell rang. Catcalls and misses were the fighters portion when they left the ring
 The whole fight can be described in a few words. It was a rare exhibition of wrestling and clinching. Papke was the chief offender. His efforts to land hard blow on Burke were ludicrous and caused the on1ookers to emit groans and other vocal sounds signi- flying "raw work
 To say that Papke put up a disap- pointing bout would be putting it mild ly Either Papke was fighting in re- strain Or he has gone back to such an extent that it would be- an injustice to foist him upon the public in any sort of bout outside of a prelimin- ary.
 Burke had a finger in the pie. if there trying all the time, and if the eye hard wallops His stock in trade was a tantalizing left jab, which kept Papke's head bobbing as if it were set on hinges. Burke used a damag- ing overland right that found it's mark often enough, but whether or not they bothered Papke will probably never be known,

HaCkenschmidt
 Is Working Hard
Russian Lion in Fine Shape and Expects to Beat GOtch
 Labor Day

Chicago, Aug. 23.-George Hacken-
 schmidt, the Russian Lion, who is to meet Frank Gotch, the champion
 wrestler of the world, in title bout in this city on Labor Day, is fast rounding into shape at his training camp on the north shore. The for eign wres.ler's retinue of trainers will be augmented this week by Tom Jen- kins and Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fire man who defeated Al Kaufman somo months ago. The challenger now has a capable string of handlers, and they are working to their wits ends to put him into championship shape. Work ing out with Hack are Dr. Roller, the Seattle wrestler, Johann Koch, Amer icus and Adolph Ernst
 Roller is Hackenschmidt' chief ad- wiser and the Far Coast wrestler has outlined a busy campaign for the man seeking Gotch's title. Since Hacken- schmidt started training he has shown wonderful improvement in his work and it is apparent that Gotch will find it no easy task to beat down this gi- gantic Russian. Each day Hacken- schmidt goes through his work with clockwork precision and each day a change for the better is noticed in his work. Road work, wrestling and other training stunts are listed on his physical-fitting schedule. The last 
 country many fans called him an ex- ceptionally strong man rather than wrestler. The wise ones around the big fellows camp, however, say that Gotch will be the most surprised man in the world when he faces the Rus sian Lion for the second time. They say that Hackenschmidt will do more than scratch and bite" the champion.
 Hackenschmidt, though he has train ed but short time for his match with Gotch, looks the part of the fin ished athlete and wrestler. His mus cles are not hard and set. The man. ner in which he has trained has lim- bered them up in great shape. Hack goes through his work as conscien- tiously as a school teacher in a class room. He is up early in the morning and out on the nearby roads enjoy- ing a little jaunt when most Chicago persons are off in the land of nod. While he limbers up in this manner Adler and the other handlers accom- pany him and act as pacemakers. The foreigner has found this an excellent to reduce superfiuous flesh and develop wind stamina.
 After a six-mile jaunt, running and

Connie Mack May
 Retire This Year
Veteran Manager of Ath-I letics Reported to Have Decided Upon Harry Da- wis as Successor.

Cleveland Aug. -23.-This season will probably be the last one for Con- nie Mack as manager of the Athletics, according to the Cleveland Press. If the Athletics win the American league pennant and the team Is in good shape for next season, Mack's retire. ment is almost certain.
 Connie is a stockholder in the Ati1- letic club, and when he retffes will become an officer in the club, prob ably president, in which capacity he would direct the club the same as Charley Comiskey directs the White Sox
 Mack is forty-rine and at times his health is not good. He has remained at home several times this season when the Athletics made short trips on the road. Another thing, Connie was married last fall, and, naturally, prefers to be at home to traveIing over the country with his team. Davis will probably succeed Mack if the lat- ter quits this year.
 This will be Davis last year with the Athletics, unlesJ he becomes man ager or is held over another year to succeed Mack. Connie retiring at the end of next season instead of this year. Mack recently said his career as manager would not continue much longer

walking part of the way Hacken- schmidt returns to his camp and par- takes of light but nutritious break fast. Then he rests up a bit and af- ter light luncheon gets out to per- form some of his novel training stunts These include climbing up six feet on a telegraph pole and suspending him. self in the air for a few minutes to develop forearm muscles; throwing weights, lifting iron balls, tossing and catching weights and other novel mus cle producers. Hack calls this easy work, and his time in the afternoon is occupied for about two hours.
 Hackenschmidt doesn't begin to do his real hard work until the afternoon is far advanced At 4 o'clock he be- gins his work on the mat, meeting in turn each of the men on hand, who strive to teach him some of the tricks with which he is unfamiliar. Hack wrestles with these men for over an hour and by that time he has done a pretty good days work. Lately he takes a dip in the lake. He says he finds this a valuable asset to getting into shape. When his work is conn., pleted he is ready to eat a. hearty supper. Then, after short rest. the big wrestler is ready to retire. He is enschmidt plans to carry out his pres- ent training schedule until few days before the bout, when several minor changes will be made.
 Roller is the challenger's chief train CT, but Hackenschmidt has a few training ideas of his own. Hacken- schmidt will not allow any rubbing down after he has done some strenu- ous exercise. He claims this weakens an athlete although Roller says it does not. Nevertheless Hackenschmidt will have no rubbing down after he is through his work. Nine out of every ten trainers say this is essential to the proper training of an athlete. The on- iy time he is willing to. be rubbed down is when he becomes muscle sore or a kink develops in any part of his body. After a dip in the lake he al- lows himself to be dried by the sun and wind. He claims this is health building and there is less chance of catching cold.
 Hackenschmidt is a powerfully built man and he hopes to use his great strength to advantage against the who is more agile than the Russian. The latter is not slow by any means. When he first cLme to by strength rather than by scientific methods. However, Hack enschmidt learned much about clev- erness. Roller, speaking of his charge said to-day:
 "Gotch is the cleverest catch-as- catch-can wrestler that ever stepped into the ring. I know that for I got my best training under him. But with all his cleverneSs, speed and his tricks. he has matched himself in- to his Waterloo this time. Hacken- schmidt is clever and Gotch will find this statement true when he meets him on Labor Day"

GEORGETOWN WON'T HAVE ANY CREW

Rowing as an intercollegiate sport at Georgetown, to use pugilistic term, has received a knockout blow. The question of whether or not the Blue and Gray was to resume this branch of sport. has worried George own alumni for some time They leed not puzzle their weary think :aps over the matter any longer. There s no need for it. Latest news re- ,arding Georgetown's rowing situation ras received yesterday when it be- anne known that the boat house for nerly used by Georgetown crews has seen sold and that the float will be disposed of shortly. The sale of these aeeds no explanation. These who were oItiniistfc have seen their hopes blast d Rowing al Georgetown is on the same parallel as marbles at Harvard
 Georgetown abolished rowing last winter. Since then many alumni hPed to see some move made that would restore the sport to it's old plane. Authorities at Georgetown say that rowing is a losing proposition. For that reason it was abolished.

 And Jack Johnson

 to 5 to 1
Especial from United Press

London, Aug 23-Because of the great showing Bombardier Wells is making, the betting against Wells chances of defeating Johnson in their fight here on September 30, today dropped from 20 to against to to 1 against.
 The supreme confidence of the for mer lance corporal is infectious and his friends are much impressed He will open a camp at Putney, finishing first his theatrical agements, and will work hard up to the eve of his fight. One of his training stunts will be sculling on the Thames, which will aid his wind.
 Johnson starts training in Paris next week, but his work will be in connec- tion with his theat trical engagements as he is billed for two day" for three weeks. He will try to make his camp a social center and he thinks he does not need much condition, most of his training will be road work on the Bois De Boulogne.

GIBBS HAS
 USUAL SIGN
 ON NEW HAVEN
FavOrite Son of SacO Holds Con- nell'S Crew to Three
 Hits
(By Wagner.)

! A postal card with the magic in- scription, we had fine time here,
 and signed Bessie, was received by
 Freddy Gibbs yesterday and the fa-
 vorite son of Saco, Me, felt so fancy that he went into the box at Newfield land handed the horse collars to New
 Haven by to o. Freddy had his
 celebrated codfish ball under fine con-
 trol and the visitors had as much chance as a one-legged man in a two-
 step.
 He gave the Wings three hits, two of which were secured by Gygli and one by Pop Foster. It was in the
 fifth that Gibby gave his smoothest
 exhibition. Pop Foster led off with "a mighty triple to the horse gate in left. Then Gibbs forced Gygli to hit him a week grounder and Kid Sher-
 wood couldn't get it past the pitcher. Jerry Connell tapped a slow one that Bob Stowe heaved to first ahead of the runner
 Chalky Clunn, who labored for New Haven, had his usual hard luck. He ! was hit rather freely, but with proper support the Mechanics would not have gathered more than two runs. The Wings never seem to be able to hit behind Clunn. Skipper Eley and Foot Ruell were the prominent swatsmiths. The outfielder grabbed a pair of sim Gles and Ruell had triple and a sim Fgle.
 The Mechanics played errorless ball behind Gibbs. Litschi was steady at shortstop and Capt. Tom Crook gave his usual spectacular exhibition by getting the high, wide, and low throws with equal skill. Rocky Stone return ed to the game and was in fine form.
 The home crowd got two in the sec- ond. Hi Ladd singled but Ruell and Kauff famed. Then Bob Stowe tri- pied and Ladd walked home. Gygli foozled Stones grounder, allowing Shove to count. Ruell Init for sack in the sixth. Kauff tried to bunt and the ball went over Clunn's head for a hit Stowe stopped an inshoot with his body and ambled to first. Pastor juggled Stones grounder, scoring Ruel Kauff tried to tally in the excitement, but was nailed on Gygli's throw to Wa . ters. On a delayed steal Stowe tried to count, but Pastors throw to the plate caught Bob.
 In the seventh Hey soaked for a sofa and Litschi sacrificed. On Crooks weak tap Waters threw to third .bpt Sherwood wasn't on the .job and the ball went to left, Eley scoring. Then Ruell came along with a three bagger to right that brought Crook over. The score:

HANS WAGNER LIKELY
 TO RESUME PLAYING
 IN NEXT WEEKS GAMES

Pittsburg, Aug. 23.-Hans Wagner will attempt to do a little exercising on his strained ankle, which was in- jured in a recent game between the Pirates and Dodgers, in Brooklyn. It was at first feared that the great players ankle was broken, but definite announcement was made last night that no bones are broken. Five phy- sicians visited Wagner at his home yesterday A number of x-ray pho- tographs were taken of the injured member Wagner is anxious to get back into the fray, and despite the family doctors prediction that he won't be able to play again all sea- son the Dutchman is of the opinion of playing at least a few games with the club. before the eastern invasion comes to an end.

mystic motion and the batter would splash an easy grounder. Gygli, who is generally a mark for Gfbby's slants, got two hits out of three times up. Tn the second after chalently off first and was caught by a block by a quick nurl from Gibbs to Crook.
 There was a neat piece of fielding by Tom Crook in the sixth. Clyde Waters soaked one at Foot Ruell and the third baseman shot the ball across. It looked to be headed for the bleach CTS but Tom went up like an express elevator and stabbed the ball with his educated glove.
 Benny Kauff displayed a neat line of baSerunning goods in the fourth He reached first when Pastor muffed his grounder and on the next ball started for second just as Waters was preparing to throw back to the pitcher. Clyde was so surprised that he heaved over Pastors head and Kauff kept on to third. He was put out at the plate when he tried to score on Stoves bunt, which Clunn handled
 Foot Ruell had a peculiar record.
 
 gracefully. On the third attempt he hit the first ball for a single, and on his last appearance, in the seventh round, he pickled the first serve, which happened to be a low one, for a three bagger to right. The fielders had moved toward left field, in which di rection Ruell generally hits, SO the sphere rolled by Jerry Connen.
 Harry Quinn, the demon cigar sales man, is one of the best little promis- CTS in the business. He agreed long ago in the presence of witnesses, to give a box of Nugget cigars to any member of the Mechanics who made a clean home run at Newfield Skip per Eley made two last week but Harry hasn't come across yet. He's stalling as usual and has produced several phoney excuses. Several members of the Rooters' club huddled together in front of the Atlantic Ho- tel last night and bawled Harry out.
 Tn Springfield today. Manager Me- Cam plans to use Chief Snyder or Uppy Upham. Greenwell worked yes terday for the Ponies, so Sandy Ban- mister will probably officiate for Springfield.
 It took a lot of trouble to retire fepe III the nlnIn lie nlC at LOW one for the third strike and the bail bounded away after striking the ground. Rocky Stone recovered the sphere but Pope was nearly to first by that time and Stone had to throw wide to avoid hitting the runner. Tom Crook reached out and with one foot on the bag managed to catch the pill with one hand. Louie Green, the faithful fan,> bought round of lem on soda on the strength of that.
 Bill Kerr couldn't play yesterday. Manager McCann tried to get him but Kerr couldn't leave his position in the Graphophone factory. Rocky Stone caught a great game, so Kerr wasn't missed.
 Harvey Russell will leave the hog pital this week. He expects to he able to catch the last week of. the season.
