stern refusal.
"Why, Eddie" said the Dane. II am

SCANDINAVIANS TO
HAVE BIG MATCH

Duluth. Feb. 22-George A. Barton,
manager of Henry Ordemann. has wir-
ed that Martin Johnson. Duluth's
wrestling fireman, is satisfactory to
him as the third man in the ring
when the big Norsk tangles with Jess
Petersen this evening.
During the present season Petersen
has made Il great showing, defeating
the best of the Americans and also dis
posing of Courderelli. the gigantic
Turk. At Greco-Roman thegigantic
Scandinavian stands as the greatest
wrestler in the world today and he is
rapidly learning the catch as catch can
game. His immense strength making
him almost irresistible to the average
wrestler.
In Ordemann Petersen will meet
entire world. Followers of the wrestl-
ing game have placed Ordemann
among the six greatest wrestlers in the
world. The big Minneapolis Norsk
is one of the finest fellows in the world
and in addition to his fine sportsman
shii, he is about the best wrestler that
this country has ever developed out
side of Frank a. Gotch.
Ordemann knows all the fine points
of the catch as catch can game and
In addition he Is a giant in physique
and possessed of wonderful wrestling
strength. The match between Orde-
mani and the giant from the other
side of the ocean should serve to de-
fine the status Of the big Scandinavian
invader before the wrestling public of
John Mole believes he has one of
the greatest wrestlers that the world
has aver seen. So confident is he
of Pedersen's ability that he is willing
to bet a substantial roll on the outcome
Of the contest with Mahmout. Mole
is the wner of a big hotel in New
York city and he has plenty of the
worlds goods to risk on his big wrest-
Ter.
In Petersen the fans of this city will
see. n of the largest men on the
wrestling mat. Petersen Is not fat,
but mammoth, from the tremendous
girth of his splendid chest to his limbs.
With his huge size goes the remark
able strength that has made him the
greatest Grcco-Roman wrestler on the
other side of tho pond. The record Of
the gigantic Scandinavian since 1903
has been a most remarkable onefi for
since winning h grand prize at the
Paris tournament, Petersen has come
through all the great tournaments he
has taken part in without sustaining a
defeat. When 1t Is considered that
Petersen defeated Zbyszko at the
Greco-Roman game, some idea of his
wonderful strength may be gained.
Almost as important as tho big con-
test of the evening will be the match
between Sailor Jack and Lundin, the
young Minneapolis wrestler, who has
been making a great name in the twin
cities. On the v of his lone awaited
match with Young Miller Jack will APP

BOB FITZSIMMONS
REFUSED TO FAKE

Los Angeles. Feb. 22.--"Fitzsim-
mons refused s75o.ooo to fake a fight
with Jim Corbett."
This is the startling statement made
by Manager Tom McCarey of the Pa
cifc Athletic club. Los Angeles. and
Mac declares that his authority for
the statement is no less a mar than
Fitzsimmons himself.
1T was Just after the Fitzsimmons-
Jeffries fight in San Francisco" said
McCarey. and I wanted to see how
Fitz was after his beating. for he and
I had been friends for years. There
was a big jam Of fight bugs around
get in. but when I sent in my card
old Fttz said I might enter.
Il found him crying like a baby.
and during our conversation about his
fight with JEFF. and about fights in
particular, he told me in confidence
that years before. in 1897. when he
fought Corbett in Carson. that a syn
expected to make no less than $2.000.-
900 on the Fitz- Corbett fight. had Of
fered him $780, 900 cash and $500, 900
In tickets on Corbett II he would be
beaten by Corbett.
Il believe this. for it was the great
est night In the history Of the world
for men to think they were right on.
AHe NidyOAlNS vi tue sporting men IN
the world favored Corbett to win, and
they had from $1,000 to $4,000 with
which to make themselves strong in
their beliefs. Fitz. however, would
not lay down to Corbett. and finally
knocked him out in the fourteenth
round.
Can you imagine a prize fighter or
a boxer refusing $750.000 OF real
money to throw a battle? This shows
the absolute honesty Of old Fitz. He
could have made ten times as much
by, Taking as by 1ghtinE on the square.
"Fitz said he would take the matter
under advisement. and would have to
sec his wife. When he spoke to her
about 1t she went up in the air, and
declared he should not do it, for the
simple reason that thousands Of poor
men IN the country would be thinking
strongly that he could beat Corbett.
and that It would be . crime for Fttz
to throw the fight. Consequently he
Wen In and beat Corbett. merely for
the sake Of his friends. but you can
guess how much money he tossed
away by this"

MAPS AMI RED SOX

Chicago. Feb. 22-President Ban B.
johnson of the American league, who
has been a successful forecaster of
events in the young major circuit, says
he expects two clubs in his baseball
orbit to show marked improvement
this season over 1911. Those clubs are
Cleveland and Boston.
Preceding on the belief that a fair
question deserves a frank answer the
head of the American league when
asked what teams he thought would
show improvement this year. did not
hesitate to frame a reply. Other teams
President Johnson admitted. might
forge ahead but Cleveland and Bos-
ton. as he figured it. loom up as the
real c%ontenders with the Philadelphia
Athletics for the championship.
Cleveland will certainly be a big
factor in the American league pennant
race" said President johnson. THE
team has the best chance It has had in
years to be a winner. Harry Davis Is
fresh from the school of Mack where
he had no small share in directing the
attack and maneuvering the defense
of the worlds champions. Davis has a
great assemblage of talent with which
to start his career as leader and ought
to make things hum for the Maps.
Cleveland ought to be the heaviest
hitting club in the league. Gregg
should have a splendid season and with
two good men to help him out, the
Cleveland team should prove a ter
ror to opposing batters."
Jake Stahl will prove a big boost
for the Boston club continued John
son. when he left hat club his de-
parture left a hole in the defense of
the Red Sox not easy to fill. He will
fill that gap and his leadership also
ought to be a big factor in boosting
the Boston team. McAleer is a wise
baseball man and is making no mis-
takes and losing no opportunity to
build up his club. The Red Sox have a
strong outfield: Stahl has made the
infield strong where 1t was weak and
the team has one of the best pitching
