all doubt that he is one Of the fastest
grapplers that tho mat game has ever
known. He makes good all Of the
things which Yokel said about him when
Mike returned from st, Paul after be-
ing beaten He is fast as lightning
a thorough knowledge of the game
learned from such teachers as George
Bothner, who also taught Yokel, Dan
Mcleod and others, and is game to the
core.
Yokel has pursued peculiar system
of training for this bout. He spent
ten days at his ranch In the Jackson
Hole country in Wyoming and then
came down to Ogden. He has had
one or two public workouts in Salt
Lake and In these has shown that he
months. But most of the time he has
spent at Ogden. It is known that Yo-
kel will try new system of wrestling.
Heretofore he has always waited and
played on the defensive in an effort
to tire his opponent.
This time he IS going to carry things
with rush and try to win as quickly
as possible. He has had several secret
workouts at Ogden in which he has
followed his new plan of campaign
These workouts have been witnessed
by few Of his closest personal friends
who declare that new Mike Yokel
one far better than was ever seen
hero before-will 90 against Miller to-
morrow night.
Neither of the wrestlers will do any
work today. Both are products Of the
Y. M. G. A.--Yokel in Salt Lake and
Miller in st. Paul-and neither believes
IN training on Sunday. Yokel, himself,
Is authority for the statement that
Miller always prays in his dressing
room before going on the mat
Both men finished their hard work
yesterday. Both are under the required
weight of l5s pounds. Yokel is just
shade under the weight, while Miller
weighs not moro than 152 pounds. What
he lacks in weight he makes up in
strength and speed.
Today both men will rest Tomor-
row each will take short trip on the
road In the morning and then rest nm
tai time to 90 on the mat tomorrow
night
The question Of a referee was one
which actually threatened for a time
70 block the match. The wrestlers
could not agree upon an official. At
noon Yesterday Harry Heagren de-
clared that he was tired of the DELAY
and announced that Ben Harker OF the
Deseret gymnasium would be the third
man on the mat. His name had not
been presented before but both wrcst-
iers immediately agreed that he was
aeceptable to them.
Harker has n thorough knowledge

All is in readiness for the finish
wrestling match tomorrow night be-
tween Mike Yokel of Salt Lake and
Walter Miller Of st. Paul at the hip
podrome at Saltsir. The winner Of
this bout will be given finish match
with Henry Gehriug of Cleveland, the
middleweight champion, here about
July l, Promoter Harry Heagren hav-
ing signed Gehring for the contest.
Tomorrow night Yokel is going TO
try to wipe out the defeat which he
sustained at the hands of Miller at
st. Paul last March when his smaller
opponent secured a decision on points
over him at the end of two and one
half hours Of the hardest kind of wres-
Ting. Az that time Yokel was on the
defensive during almost the entire con-
test.
Both men are ft for the battle. Each
has trained faithfully. Miller has been
here for two weeks with his training
partner, Joe Bruzier, and has been do

The annual state high school track

which entered teams, but none OF them
scored. A fierce wind blowing all dur
Ing the meet made it unpleasant for
both the athletes and the spectators
tlcally impossible TO break any records.
The record Of q seconds In the low
hurdles was equalled by Gum Of Muir
dock. This was the only event which
was done In record form
The feature Of the meet was tho work
Of Raymond, the sprinter from the
sprinsvlle high school. This is Hay
form he shows in the 100 and 22o-yard
dashes Is splendid. He Is only II years
old. Raymond appeared here for the
first time last year and defeated Gal
lagher, who had already gained repu-
ton.
Yesterday, In the first heat OF the 100
yard dash, Gallagher won easily. Hay
mond ran alone IN his trial heat, so that
it was not possible to get line on the
two men for the finals, The trials In the
22O came before the finals in the 100,
and in this race Gallagher won Hay
mond however, won both events in fine
style. A still further surprise came In
the 10o-yard dash when Williams OF
Murdock beat Gallagher for second place.
Another man whose work was of a
high order was Anderson Of the l. D. So
who toll both tho mile and half-mile
runs.
An interesting feature of the meet was
that two men who established state rec
ords last year were beaten at their
own games this year. Hopkins OF Muir
dock established the state record In the
low hurdles last year. and this year was
beaten by his team mate, Gum. In the
broad jump, Cooper of the Branch Nor
NAL school, who established the record
Of % feet inches last year. was defeat
ed by Simmons OF Payson, who took the
event at Fl feet
The athletes met in the gymnasium
annex after the meet and were presented
with medals. a silver medal was given
for first place bronze for second and n
RIBBON for third In the evening tho
Varsity club of the university entertained

Of wrestling, both as q wrestler and
as an instructor. His reputation for
fairness is well known and both mon
are sure to get square deal from him.
In keeping with his plan to get TINS
class of officials for the big, contest
Heagren announced that DR.. Charles
G.. Plummer and D. A. Callahan will be
the official timel5eepers, while Dr. f.
w. Meakin will do the announcing and
DR.. III. B. Sprague will examine the
men before they are allowed to 90 on
the mat
enca Yesterday during which Heagren
stated that the only conditions which
he wished to impose upon the referee
was that the men should be kept upon
the mat until the match went to q fin
ish. best two in three falls. He in
formed Harker that in case the men
tried to leave the mat and call the
bout draw that under the articles of
agreement the affair should then
be- declared no contest and that the
wrestlers should forfeit all claims to
their share Of the gate receipts. To
this Harker agreed.
Excellent preparations have been
made by Heagren to handle an i'm
mense crowd. The advance sale of tick
cts at Stickney's cigar store indicates
that the crowd will be the largest
match in Salt Lake.
There will be at least three special
trains to take the crowd to Saltair.
These will leave at 7.46, and 8:15
O'Clock tomorrow night. Each train
will have special cars for the many
women who will attend the contest.
The trains will be held at the lake so
that there will be NO discomfort for
the fans in getting back to the city
Immediately after the contest.
The hippodrome will seat 10000 peo-
pie as it is arranged at present and
every seat is good seat. The plat
form upon which the men will wrestle
will be twenty eight feet square, giving
them plenty of room, and it will be
surrounded with stout ropes to pre-
vent them rushing each other off the
platform
Heagreu has announced that Joe
BruiZer. Mlller's training partner, anu
the middleweight champion OF Europe,
will meet George Nelson of Salt Lake
in the semi-final to the big contest.
Reports are to the effect that Bruzler
is one of the best middlewelghts ever
seen iu this part of the country and
he will be given "A good try-out by Mel
son. who outweighs him by twenty-five
pounds.
The first bout of the evening will be
begun not later than Sis O'Clock and
the programme will be carried through
without delay Just as soon as the
main event is at an end the trains
will be waiting to bring the crowd
back to the city and the run will be
made in not more than thirty minutes.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Situation in Business World Reported Better Than 1t
Has Been for Years-Crop Prospects Good and
Collections Show Improvement

New York. Aug. s.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Expansion is the key word Of the
trade situation as the month drawn to a
close. and buyers feel the seasonal spur
to the laying In of supplies for fall and
winter. This is, of course. largely pre-
dicted upon the prospect of assured or
expected large crop yields and find chief
expression in the West. Northwest, and
Southwest. where crop certainty has, gen.
orally speaking. supplanted prediction.
Coincidentally with the marketing of the
early gathered crops. collections show a
tendency to improve, and the money
market likewise gives evidence Of in
creased activity and strength of quota
tions. Perhaps the only possible check
to full present or near future activity Is
found in the gradually enlivening politi-
cal campaign. but it is a matter Of wide
spread remark that political discussion
is apparently given less than expected
