FOURTH OF JULY

There will be a meeting of the
Commercial club next Monday
evening. One matter to be dis
cussed will be the 4th of July Gel
ebration.
Last year the celebration was
such marked success that most
of our citizens are anxious to cele-
brate this year.
1t is time that COMMITTEES were
appointed to take the matter in
charge. 1t is hoped there will be
a large turnout Monday night as
that will, to some extent, determine
the success of the celebration.

and it is my opinion that the San
Luis valley is by far the most pro-
ductive of all these agricultural
sections. The abundance of water
at the very lowest price known, the
fertile soil and healthfulness of the
climate form just the combination
of advantages man wants when
selecting desirable home.

PROSPECTORS MUST
TREAD LIGHTLY

Since June lS, 1906, Charles
Hentschell has been enjoying a
especial privilege" located in the
Ne / Sc /, Sec. 8, T. Al r. 4 E.,
within a National Forest without
charge, in consideration of the
constructing and maintaining by
him of a road from his claim to
the valley.
On May 25, 1912, Mr.. Hentschel
was notified that his cabin was not
considered primarily within that
class of special uses which rendered
it exempt from charge and there
fore he would be required, in ac-
cordance with the regulations, to
pay $500 annually for the further
enjoyment of maintaining a cabin
on the Forest.
Mr.. Hentschel declares that the
road to his place is used by Forest
officers and the general public and
objects to keeping up the road and
being obliged to pay for it in adj
dition. 1t is also intimated that a
party in that vicinity has approx
mately 100 acres of Forest land
fenced and pays nothing for it.
Now the question naturally arises
Is man required to furnish for
est officers with d certificate, set
ting forth the fact that he is gen
uine prospector, before being al
lowed to venture on the hallowed
soil of the forestY

DUKES BENEFITS

Charles Barron (Soapbox) an
nounces everything in readiness for
the Kahanamoku benefit to be given
at the Athletic Park week from to-
morrow.
Barron is very keen on the Hawai-
ian swimmer going to the mainland
and promises to make a substantial
donation to the fund out of his own
privy purse and separate and distinct
from the proceeds of the benefit.
The program will be as follows:
West Virginia vs. Barry's Beauts.
100, 200, 44O and $50 yards runs.
Five-mile relay race, Soldier King
against Nigel Jackson and two other
runners to be selected by him.
Five and one-mile bicycle races.

manager of the Pole. here, today.
"All we want Is chance at Gotch,

It, I will give Gotch $4,000 as his
end of the purse to meet Zybszko. If
he don't like that, | will back the Pole

Herman said that Zybszko would
meet the Turk in Kansas City and
wrestle in private before newspaper
men, and not ask cent if the match
could be arranged with Gotch as sug-
gested. He offers to meet Mahmout
here for a $4,000 purse regardless OF
match with Gotch.

again to put it on a fair basis. Frank
Gotch has been touring the country
meeting all corners, but he will not
take part in any championship match
es unless a foe worthy of his recog-
milton appears, and that must be soon,
otherwise Gotch intends to retire for
all time.
Among the big wrestlers outside of
the champion there are few who have
anything on Henry Ordemann, the
Minneapolis strong man. Ordemann
has met nearly all the stars of the
country, and they have found him the
hardest kind of game. Jesse Wester.
gard is another good heavyweight
and halls from the same state as
Gotch comes from-Iowa.

LAST YEARS
BALL RECORDS

The great American outdoor game
baseball--was not without its records
during 1911, although they were not 10
plentiful as in years gone by. The
chief interest lay in the worlds series
of games between the two big major
eagues-American and National-the
Philadelphia Athletics, under the able
leadership of Connie Mack, defeating
the New York Giants of the National
League, under John j. McGraw, four
games of six played. 1t was the second
victory of the kind for Connie Macks
Athletics. The attendance record was
broken, a few under 100000 for the
series of games attending. while the
receipts amounted to $342,364. The
biggest single days attendance was
also broken, there being 3S,2S1 paid
admissions at the opening game in
New York.
Ed Walsh of the Chicago White SOX,
and Joe Woods of Boston each scored
a no-hit game during the season, and
Walsh also broke the record for fungo
hitting, driving the ball 419 feet 6
inches, beating Mike Mitchell's mark
made at Cincinnati.
! Christy Mathewson of the Giants
pitched only SO balls when he beat the
Philadelphia team in eleven innings.
Grand RAPIDS and Battle Creek
pulled off two triple plays in one game,
which was something unheard Of be-

WRESTLERS HAD
A QUIET YEAR

The wrestling game, which thTiyed
in many cities fifteen years ago,
seems unable to regain the foothold
il once had among the sporting men
of the country. The fakirs we're re-
sponsible for putting it on the decline
and it will take great deal of coax
ing to get it back to where it once
was.
The international match between
Frank Gotch and George Hacken-
schmidt, the Russian Lion, decided
at Chicago, April 3, 1908, created a
great deal of interest at that time, but
the poor exhibition between these two
gladiators did not help the game any.
For two hours and three minutes they
struggled hard but they never left
their feet for nearly two hours, and
that is what made it such an uninter-
esting contest to watch. Hacken-
schmidt gave up because Of an in
jured knee. The fact was the Lion
was "al in" and could go no further,
and instead of being what the Ameri-
cans call game and take chance he
preferred to forfeit the match.
Wrestling did not prosper for some
time afterwards, the interest being
very lax, but the coming of Mahmout
and Zybszko created a little more en-
thusiasm and some of the big matches
were well attended. Then came the
return match last year between Gotct
and Hackenschmidt at Chicago, Sep
TENDER 4, and an immense crowC
turned out but it was very one-sided
Gotch winning in two straight fall
lin IA minutes IS Is seconds and
minutes and AZ 1-5 seconds. Hacken
schmidt gave up without a struggle
claiming afterwards that he ha,
wrenched his ankle badly and SHOULD
never have gone on with it, but tina
he did so to protect the promoters

dollars to bring it about The misel

The sensational performances of the
Harvester in 1910 were the talk of all
turfdom, and it was expected that Ed
Geers would drive the splendid stallion
even to greater feats last year, but the
sudden death of the owner of the won
derful trotter-August Uihlein-in
Germany, upset the plans of Mr.. Geers
somewhat, and The Harvester did not
make the showing that had been eX-
pected of him, although he trotted
some really splendid races to fast
time.
Uhlan, the stalwart trotter owned
by G. X. G. Billings Of Cleveland, o..

performed just as wonderfully last
year as the Uihlein stallion did in 1910

disappointment to all concerned
when the Winsome couldn't start.
And here is where Bob Smith made
himself illustrious as a true, unselfsh
sportsman.
He proved his inestimable vahte as
a commodore and club member by Of
Ifering to pay half the expenses of the
Winsome's trip if the club would raise
the other half. As there was only one
day left this was impossible, SO Mr..
Smith then volunteered to pay the
whole expenses out of his own pocket
But the ideal beauty lay in the fact
! that he had already spent three thou.
lsand dollars in remodeling and rigging
the Sweetheart to win the race him,
self. Just think of It!
The start was postponed for one day
to make the arrangements, but by the
advice of her attorney Mrs Hay re.
fused to let the boat go.
Had the Winsome sailed and beaten
the Sweetheart, Bob Smith would
have gracefully accepted his defeat
without any feeling of soreness, like
the true gentleman and real sportsman

Wouldn't it give an ordinary man a
bad turn even to think of making such

else who can do ll6 pounds.
He is thinking of going to the coast
shortly and would like to have a bout

Willis says that anyone who cares
to box him at the weight named can

He wants to box on a 70 per cent
and % per cent of the purse basis and
