He Is through With Game.
By Tad

II RANK GOTCH, the worlds
greatest heavyweight wrestler,
declares that he intends to re-
mann retired In statement issued
at his home in Humboldt, Iowa. to-
day, Gotch declared:
81 am through with the wrestling
game. The promoters are trying to
set me to enter active competition
again and every little while a story
is published that | am going to get
back in the game, but | have retired
ana shall remain in retirement.
They tell me the public wants me

Friteusky and some of the other
Europeans That may be so, but /
think | have done my part in the

IF | were to defend my title. it
would mean great deal of hard
training, and even though l know
that I could enter the ring and make
100000 or more in a few months |
will not do so. My business is what
am building up for the future, and

success"
If Gotch remains firm in his deter
minLtion to keep in private life. the
wrestling game will lose one of it's
greatest exponents. Gotch first start
ed wrestling in 1889, twenty five
years ago, and since that time has
engaged in hundreds OF battles and
has won most of them.

uounced that he was not a candidate for

'andidate for alderman in ward three
vas unanimously endorsed by the league
Mr. Maynard stated to those presen,
that he had no entangling alliances with
any particular clique and went on record
as in favor of absolute independence for
the municipal electric light plant.
Remarks explaining the ballot to be
used in the referendum vote to be taken
on the direct primary, were made by
several members who brought out he
peculiar features and form Of the ballot
which will be used. 1t was explained
that a cross marked after the first ques-
ton on the ballot did not change the
present nominating system in any es-
sental manner whereas a yes vote
after the second question on the ballot
indicated the desire Of the voter for a
direct primary, doing away with caucuses
md conventions and leaving only a party
organization for the purpose of drafting
platforms and detail work.
The next meeting of the league will
be held in the hall next Sunday after
