St. Paul Wrestler Will Show
Good Faith by Cash

Duluth. Aug. 29.-The Miller-Ad-
amson controversy is getting decidedly
interesting. To those who have some
knowledge OF the two gruelling battles
wrest|ed by these wonderful little mon,
and also know the feeling there exist
ed at the termination Of the last
match, wrestled some two years g in
st. Paul. there is no doubt in the
world but that the resentment in the
present case is genuine.
Miller has consistently held out for
1852 pounds. This he considers q
waiving of certain rights. For a long
time he refused to wrestle Adameon
unless h latter made a very low
weight. Then came the famous match
in ST. Paul contest thai has been
discussed Yer since where wrestling
is talked of-and the defeat Of In
.vincible Ed.
Like Miller. Adamson is proud Of
his ma record. It includes two VIC
tories over Fred Beell and the defeat
of big and little men throughout the
country. Ed has always held that
Miller only heat him because he was
weak and trained to a ghost Of his
real self.
Always a clean liver. ever observing
the rigid rules of training and abb
staining from the wassail and the path
that beams of white lights, Adamson
today stands as one of the greatest
wrestling machines in the world. He
says he can beat Walter Miller.
Adalnson is 4 master hand at the
game. Undoubtedly he is attempting
to taunt the proud little ST. Paul Pole
into finging discretion to the winds
and meeting him under any condi-
tions. The brain of Adamason is like
that of a fox. only more highly edu-
Gated.
The game of Adamson seems to be
hearing fruit. Today came a letter
from Miller in which the ST. Paul
phenonl say he will wrestle Adamson
at 155 ringside. the men to weigh in
sight of the audience.
Il have held out for l5o pounds. as
] wanted to meet Adamson at my own
weight" says Miller. II has accused
me of being afraid of meeting him and
of several other things. I don't think
very many people in the northwest
will believe these things of me. To
show the people of st. Paul, Minne-
apolis or Duluth that ! am ready to
wrestle Adamson. I will deposit $500
in the hands of Frank McInerny,
sporting editor of the St. Paul Dis
patch. or Frank f. Force. sporting
editor of he Minneapolis Tribune. or
in the and of Bruce of the Duluth
Herald.
This money oan go as a forfeit and
then as a side bet. Adamson has been
ravine about a fair chance. about my
being afraid and a lot Of other things.
Money talks and let Ed come through
with n conversation that is made
of money

THEY'RE AFTER
SEC0RD'S HEAD
Members of Motorcycle Club
Plot Against Young
Speed King.

Members of the Grand Forks Motor
cycle club are after Gene Secord's
scalp. according TO other members of
the organization, who declare that rae
ing enemies of Secord are making
every effort to hiring about his defeat
at the motorcycle meet on the after
of Labor day.
Secord is president of the Grand
Forks Motorcycle club and esta hlish-
cd quite a reputation as a speed king
during the races at the count fair.
He pulled out ahead in more than one
of the big events and immediately
other members of the motorcycle club,
apparently jealous because of his VIC
tories, commenced to plot his down
fall. according to the talk going the
rounds in sport circles.
Must Beat Him.
Determined to see Seconds banner
trampled in the dus in the coming
carnival of sport, certain members of
the club are alleged TO be making an
effort to bring o Barihau. who holds
the worlds record for 100 miles on a
dirt track. to Grand Forks for the La
Dor day meet. entering him against the
local boys and especially Secord. who
will ride in the start events. Barihau
is now in Calgary. Alberta.
One member of the club. it is report
ed. has been tuning up his machine.
expecting that Barihau will accept his
proposition to ride ii against Secord.
This particular motorcycle will have to
he driven by the Grand Forks owner,
if it is raced. however. as it is not an
Indian and Baribau is in the employe
of the Indian makers and rides no
other make of machine. That he
"doped" motorcycle will not be in the
races is more than likely. as the own
er is not much of a rider himself, it is
said.
Scrord Interviewed.
In speaking of the rather amusing
situation hat exists among the mem
bars of the motorcycle club this morn
ing, President Secord said:
1T is very rue that some members
of the club are somewhat peeved be-
cause l will not lay down and let them
win or Labor day. They seem TO think
thai l will grab the events in which l
am entered. While l have no fear of
being badly beaten in the races. I am
not as sure thai I will win as some
of the boys think l m ] am positive
that Barihau will not come here 10
race against me. think he is billed
for Winnipeg races On Labor day.
Il consider the action of some mem
bers of the club in trying to bring in
the Labor day races as decidedly I'M
sportmanlike. When we took up the
proposition for Labor dav races it was
decided that it would be for the local
riders. If outsiders do come in | will
meet all corners. but l do not like the
attitude some of the club members
have taken in the matter"

why my own 'slumps." when they
come occasionally, don't last long. i
can't answer the first part of the
question, but l can the last.

and tell me what faults | have UNI
consciously picked UP. Then he helps
me remedy them.
am telling these personal things
simply to show how much of a study
can be made of the art of batting and
high average should work and try to
learn all of the time.
Getting Passed.
l suffered a good hit of disappoint-
ment early this season because op-
posing pitchers would. when men were
on bases ahead of me. deliberately
walk me in order to get to the next
man. some pitcher. usually a weak
hitter.
And this vas generally when 1 was
ieellng hit to lace the ball a mile. This
happened more than twenty times in
the early months this Year.
But foxy John McGraw fooled them
later by sending me up a peg in thu
batting order. so that l was followed
by Fletcher. Il good, game fellow, who
oftener than not ONE through with
a hit in Il pinch. SO the passing"
lately hasn't beer so frequent, though
it still occurs.
Some of my friends have suggested
about my collection of bats. am a
bug" on bats. and SO my collection
may be interesting.
Gets Bats Personally.
When | want a bat l go personally
to a certain factory where they are
made. Then l pick out the rough piece
Of ash. just as it nm from the
Tree. MY early life and perhaps the
knowledge inherited from my Indian
forefathers has made me an expert
on wood.
Then l watch the latheman turning
the wood into shape: stop him every.
once in a while and "heft' the club.
and V let that bat out of nv
sight until it is a finished article. That
may SouIlO lOollSn, Out l q never carry
a bat to the plate that 1 hadn't seen
developed out of a rough piece of
wood.
My bats are all several inches long
er and many ounces heavier than the
average. l own about twelve of then,

four and before and after each game

say.
When l was a kid l used to see the
old Indians of my tribe giving their
bows peculiar treatment. They wouli
rub h bows down with a big. heavy,
beefbone. This. they told me. closed
with the oil from the bone and frag-
ments Of the bone itself the pores Of
the wood. That strengthened it and
prevented it from cracking, at the
same time polishing the surface.
So when ] got into the ball game, I
thought this: Tho bows brought
their living to those old fellows. NV
bats bring my living to me. So iii
give them the cd beefbone treatment"
And still do it.
