ADAMSON AFTER
THOSE WHO TALK

Duluth, Mimi. Aug. 23.-Edward
-Adamson. the man who lives in the
town of defeat known as Waterloo,
Iowa. is breaking the traces as the
nip OF fall commences to PIT him in
the notion of wrestling. He writes
knowingly. but rather impertinently
as follows:
In understand that you have sew
eral wrestlers in your city and
through the northern part there. Who
are claiming the middleweight cham
p%ionship. one in particular is Walter
Miller Of st. Paul. whom I have al
ready defeated. at catch weights.
Il will not exceed 1875 pounds at
any time, and have always defeated
Miller at that weight. and have de-
feated him at las pounds. In my
last match With Miller I had to make
weight for him.
If o "an induce Miller to meet
me at catch weights, I would appre-
ciate 1t Very much. and l would prove
to Miller M his friends that l am
his superior on the met 1T catch
weights. Where I can go in and train
naturally.

(By Bruce,)

Tickets for Booster Day went on
sale yesterday and judging from the
success of the volunteer sellers the
fans of the city are taking kindly to
the day.
The buttons were not completed
yesterday. but are ready today and
those who bought tickets yesterday
will be provided with them. The
Hanna information bureau on West
Superior street took a number of tick
cts yesterday and fans who desire to
help the cause along can secure tick
cts there.
If one can judge from the talk
among the people of Duluth. Booster
day is going to be an unqualified sue
cess. With decent weather a week
from Sunday it is likely that the larg-
est crowd that has cver witnessed a
game at the head of the lakes will
help to make tine debt OF the directors

Dad Ford of the Superior team may
be the member of the Red SoX Sc

of the S~uburbanites. 1t is also sug-
gested that there be a special race be-
tween Bill Dunn and Darby O'Brien.

son after season.
While we are reasonably sure OF the
gonfalon, it may develop that the clos
ing games at home and across the bay
at Hislop park will develop into the
deciding tale as to the championship.
1t does not look as If the Peggers can
catch us, but those four defeats at the
hands of the Deacons have kind of
taken some of the wind out of our
sails. The team is slumping at the
present time, but thanks to Superior
the position of Winnipeg is not much
better right now than 1t was when the
teams left for the road.
But though we have only Won five
more games than the Peggers we have

COMES BACK
WITH WHITE HOPE

San Francisco, Aug, 24.-rom
Tracy. the old-time Australian welter-
weight champion. is in San Francisco
after an absence of many years. Tracy.
who stands sponsor for Mark O'Don-
nell. the newest white hope, was a not
ed figure in the ring a score of years
ago. He came here with his foster
brother. Dan Creedon. from Mel
bourne when each succeeding steamer
brought a detachment Of antipodean
ring men. and he engaged in several
famous contests when the California
Athletic club had its headquarters on
Newmontgomery and Howard streets.
Tracy. who knows the boxing game
from A to z. is careful not to claim
too much for his budding heavy
weight. He believes O'Donnell. with
a little experience. will develop into a
fairly good heavy and he intends to
see that the novice is not overmatched
in the beginning.

MILLER HUGGINS TO
MANAGE

st. Louis. Aug 24.-The real reason
for the blocking of the deal sending
Miller Higgins to Cincinnati. accord
ing to a we'll defined rumor existing
here. is the desire of Mrs. Helen Brit
ton. owner Of the st. Louis Nationals.
to have Higgins eventually stay as
manager Of the club.
Mrs. Britton also favors Higgins
over Bresnahan. believing that Bres-
nahan, with the fine start he had
last season. has not made good this
year. She Is also reported to be dis
pleased because Of Rogers intimacy
with McGraw in the proposed tour of
the world by the Giants.
The blocking of the deal. it ia said.
was a diplomatic hint to Bresnahan
to sever his connection with the club
and allow Mrs. Britton to negotiate
with Huggins.
