ZBYSZKO READY
FOR RACIEVICH
Herman Would Bring One Of the Prin-
cipIes Of TonIght's Mat Contest
to OttumWa for Scrap.

New York, Feb. 12.-Stanilus zby-
szko, the giant Pole, and Giovanni
Raicevich, the Italian, were in fne fet-
tie today for their wrestling match
at Madison Square Garden which will
finally determine which man will meet
Frank Gotch for the worlds champion
ship. Tom jenkins will referee the
contest.
The sporting editor of the Courier
has received the following letter from
the manager Of Zbyszko, referring to
possible match here: N. -
Dear Sir:-Zbyszko will be in your
section of the country within month,
and, if possible, I would like to ar
range for his appearance in your city;
providing a suitable opponent can be
secured to meet him, and as no wrest-
Ter is barred, see no reason why we
cannot arrange for an entertainment
in your city. If it is not asking too
much, would like to have you put me
in communication with the promoters
in your town or someone capable OF
arranging and managing an entertain
ment Of this kind.
II am using every possible means to
force Frank Gotch into match with
,Zbyszko. The. Pole, as you no doubt
are aware, has improved SO wonderful
ly during the past three years that
wrestling experts look upon him as the
next worlds champion. 1t is with the
idea of having the followers of wrest-
ling in general see Zbyszko in action
that I am arranging the present tour.
Trusting to meet you personally
during the season, and that may be
in a position to reciprocate for troub-
ling you, remain,
Very truly yours,
81. H. Herman
Manager for ZbysZko. 20

AMATEUR BEATS
WILLIE RITCHIE

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 12.-That the
first robin doesn't make a summer was
proved Saturday night at the National
A. c. here when Willie Richie, who
made such showing against Young
Erne, the best lightweight in the city,
last Wednesday night, lost the popu-
lar decision to Charlye Turner, boy
who graduated from the amateur
ranks last year
AS an amateur Turner was won.
der, but prior to the bout Saturday
night every fight fan in the city
thought he was the lamb being led
to slaughter.
Turner has left that was unfath-
enable to Richie. He just laid the
left in Ritchie's face and jabbed and
jabbed again and jabbed the third
time. He jabbed as often as he liked
and then endeavored to get across a
stiff right, but in this he failed to
hand out the sleep producer.
Richie had practically nothing in
the fight. He could not use his right
because Turner always kept away
from it, and that left continually in
his face bothered him.
Out of the six rounds fought Richie
only got an even break in one of
them, the other five going to the ex.
amateur by good margins.

Liberal Horse Run Expected.

chicago, FEB. l2.-ProSpectS Tor
liebral run OF horses this week are good
and the trade in general believes that
receipts will go considerably over
those OF the past week, provided we
have no extremely cold weather. Trade
continues to be unsatisfactory; buyers
do not take hold in manner that goes
toward making an active market, and
there is always that persistent tend
ency to bid low on stock regardless of
its quality. Under present weather
conditions dealers do not anticipate
any great improvements lin the demand,
but should have a few days Of open
weather it ought to have the effect of
stimulating buyers to action. Horses
to be used for farming purposes con-
tinue to meet with the best demand,
particularly the good chunks.
The weeks run of horses totaled APP
proximately 2,160 head, which COM
pares with 2,S22 head last week and
2,963 head the corresponding week last
year. Quotations:
