This game game will be the final one
of the season In the District, as the Wig
ilants have closed their season and viii
not play again until October 5. 1913. One
Of the largest crowds Of the season Is
expected. and the same ground rules
will prevail.
Joe Turner, the local grappler who is
defending the middle-weight champion
ship Of the world In Boston and the sur
rounding towns, is making good with
vengeance, and will be booked to meet
Gehring in Boston within the next couple
OF months.
Turner has defeated such men as Ed.
Miller, Zubeck, the Swede. Hans Michale-
at
GouIet. George Touhey, the Boston
wrestling and boxing referee, is promot-
ing Turner in the Hub city. and unless
several good bouts are arranged In
Washington, the local boy will remain
in Boston throughout the winter.
The Wrestler. a paper published in
woonsocket, r. l.. has the following to
say regarding Turner:
Joe Turner. the middle-weight cham
pion OF the world. was the guest OF
Charles Cutler, the American heavy
weight champion, at the big match at
Boston Christmas night. Joe was intro
duced by the referee and he was given
an ovation by the large crowd present"
II Is understood that Manager Mayer.
OF the Lyceum. is negotiating with sew
eral good wrestlers, to book them against
Turner in this city, but unless match
is arranged in the near future, Turner
will remain in Boston.
Wrestling may be started again In the
District. with the top nOtchers as the
attractions Such men as Americas, DIR.
Roller, Yankee Rogers. Cyclone Burns,
and Zbyszko will be brought here in the
heavyweight class, while It Is planned
to match Joe Turner, the local mat
artist with either Henry Gehring. Hans
Yokel. Matty Calvin. Sailor Burke,
or Henry Ochsenhouser, the German
iddle-weight champion. Such bouts as
these would prove to be drawing cards,
and would eliminate all this howl about
fake matches. as these men cannot afford
TO take a chance.
Joe Harris the former Eastern High
School basketball and baseball player.
is attending the University of Virginia
at present and should put up a game
fight for the second base job on the ball
rine. While in the high schools here
Harris was one OF the best fielders in
the series, and also hit the pill hard.
When the Virginia baseball candidates
worked out last fail. Harris looked pretty
good. but as only hight fielding work was
attempted, no real line could be gotten
on him.
Harris is at present spending the holi-
days with his folks. and said last night
that he expected to make the varsity AT
Charlottesville He is out for the basket
ball team, but owing to his lightness.
will not get a chance.
