Special TO The Tribune.
~ GDEN. Feb i2.-By holding Henry
GehrinG, the eX-champlon middle
weight wrestler, to a draw IN two
" hours and thirty minutes of
wrestling at the Orpheum theater
tonight. Jack Harbertson OF Ogden con-
vinceG his friends he Is entitled to de-
mand finish match with Mike Yokcl,
The new champion.
The decision tonight was rendered by
Rerferee Jack Chids, Although they
were not given an opportunity to pass
on the matter. II was the unanimous
opinion OF the newspaper committee that
Ilarbertson was entitled to a decision on
points,
Governed by the agreement that neith-
er man should remain on the defensive
FOR longer than fifteen minutes at a
lime, l1arbertson carried the fight TO
the Clevelander in the last hour and a
half, displaying unexpected skill in de-
tense in tho earlier periods before he
had gained confidence enough TO begin
an opponent whom he afterward declared
10 be almost as clever as yokel The ex-
champion showed the effects OF the hard
grind, refusing throughout the last forty
minutes 10 take chances.
During this period, with the exception
OF brief intervals. the wrestlers re-
manned on their feet, with Harbertson
working hard 10 get Gehring on the mat
During the first hour Gehrlng displayed
a very evident desire TO DE Spectacular,
apparently believing that he had the
match won from the start. He worked
fast, jumping from one hold TO an

other as rapidly as they were broken by
Harbertson. who showed speed equal
TO that OF Gehring.
Gehring eviuced a preference for the
toe hold and reverse body hold. but Har-
bertson's repeated use of body hold
got Gehring In dangerous positions a half
q dozen times.
The decision OF Referee Chlds met
with the approval OF the crowd which
was the largest that ever attended a
wrestling match here. Owing to the fact
that the match was arranged on short
notice. Harbertson. in justice TO his
friends, expressed a desire that all bets
be declared Off This announcement was
made from the ring, the referee official
ly declaring all bets off
AT the conclusion OF the tch the Og-
oen wrestler stated that he was anxious
10 meet Gehring again in a finish match.
Harbertson said that he would have OBJ
tained fall in a few more minutes.
II he will get himself into condition,

Gehring "He Is fast and clever. but

In the preliminary Harlan Peyton Sc

ton got the first fall In nine minutes but
failed 10 throw Reed again In the eleven
minutes.
The other preliminaries were battles

SOUTHEAST KANSAS
COMMERCIAL Federation
By J. F. FARRELL

Twenty-eight cities are included in
the Southeastern Kansas Federation
of Commercial clubs, a new organiza-
ton which held it's first regular con-
vention in Chanute this week. Roy r.
Bittman, of Independence, is president.
and Thomas A. Cordry, of Parsons, is
secretary.
The Chanute meeting was one of the
most enthusiastic gatherings of the
kind it has been my privilege to attend.
More than 100 business men outside of
Chanute were present, all intent upon
which are started easily between towns,
and working for the general develop
ment and upbuilding of the territory
embraced by the federation.
The delegates voted unanimously to
send an exhibition train through the
east to exploit the products of south
western Kansas. There will be a dis
play for every industry, and the plan
is to send with the train the most eX-
pert boosters that can be found in the
several towns in the organization. A
band will accompany the train, and a
newspaper will be printed on boaro
every day. The federation officials be-
lieve they will have a more attractive
train than that which was sent out
last year from Pittsburg, Pa, for
tour of the country.
The next meeting of the federation
will be held IN CnerryNale at a GATE
to be fixed by the executive commit
tee. President Bittman is confident
that 300 business men will attend the
next meeting.
The federation takes in the towns
of Montgomery, Allen, Neosho, Wilson,
Cherokee, Crawford, Bourbon, Labette,
Woodson and Wilson counties, territory
served generally by the Santa Fe's net
work of lines known as the Southern
Kansas division. The territory is rich
livestock, fruit, building stone, brick.
clay and cement. These natural re-
sources have drawn to southeastern
Kansas scores of factories, employing
thousands of men at good wages, and
