Fristensky Helps Wrestling Came
Packey Will Meet Gibbons.

Gustav Fristensky's fc +une is
made if he keeps clear o. shady
wrestling bouts and continues to
grapple as conscientiously as he did
against Gus Schoenlein Monday
night.
Frank Gotch is still strong in the
statement that he has retired for all
time, but if Fristensky puts up few
more exhibitions of high caliber it
would surprise no one if the Iowa
farmer broke from obscurity and
came back.
Fristensky is different from any
of the foreigners who have infested
our land for many years. His main
stock in trade is not roughness, and
his efforts may go far toward placing
the sport back in respectable posi-
ton.
Wrestling, as sport, when cor

WINTER SPORTING DOPE FROM EVERYWHERE
Gilmore Promises Hot Fed Race
Sox to Have Western Farm.

Sox to Have Western Farm.
President Gilmore of the Federal
League is authority for the assurance
that we need not worry about the
Chicago team making runaway
race in the new organization.
Gilmore has just returned from
TIP around the Eastern end of his
circuit, where he learned the steps
that were being taken to get together
formidable ine-ups.
No manager has yet been selected
in Toronto, and Pittsburgh also is
without a pilot, Jimmy Sheckard
having turned down the terms offer
ed him. In Buffalo, however, three
major leaguers are reported to be
under contract to the Feds.
Most of the Federal League in
formation we get locally is about
Weeghman's team and the men he is
annexing. Those whose names have
been made public assure a strong ag-
gregation, and there has been an I'M
dercurrent of belief that the bean
boys would go out in front and make
the running easily through the cam
paign.
But remember that the Feds are
moving mysteriously. 1t is extreme
ly likely that they are as safely en-
trenched in other cities as here and
are keeping quiet about it.
The belief that President comis-
key of the White Sox is behind Ed
Smith in the latter's efforts to pur-
chase the Denver team of the West
ern League is strengthened by the
report that Billy Sullivan, veteran
backstop of the South Siders, will
manage the Bears in the event that
Smith goes through with the pur-
chase.

big league organizations that lacks

CHARCOAL FOR SWINE
One OF Cheapest and Best Pre-

Missouri Writer Gives In Detail His
Method Of Using Timber Covered
With Iron Covers to Secure
Slow Burning Of Heap.

Charcoal is one OF the cheapest OF
disease preventives that can be fed to
hogs. 1t is especially valuable in win
ter, whether the animals are in the
fattening pens or in the woods lot.
Charcoal can be bought, but this
takes away its cheapness. IL can be
burned on the farm, and the burning
takes but very little time or labor.
Green or dry timber, corn cobs or
heavy brush can be turned into char
coal.
The method have used for good
