C0TCH TO RUN
FOR GOVERNOR
Boom Is Launched To Place
Champion Wrestler in
Executive Mansion.

CHICAGO, July 23.-For governor
of the state Of Iowa, Frank Allen
Gotch of Humboldt.
That's the way the Republican tic
ket will be headed two years hence.
Know Gotch? Of course, that's
him, champion catch-as- catch-can
wrestler of the world, one of the
greatest athletes the world ever has
produced.
Soft Picking for Frank.
Strange, but true. Nevertheless,
the big fellow has practically given
his consent to have his name consid-
cred and it is said that the Republi-
can leaders believe Gotch not only
would make an exceptionally fine man
for the office, but would be just as
easy winner over the Democrats as
he has been over the American and
foreign contenders for his title.
Under Consideration Some Time.
This scheme of having the giant of
the mat enter a strange arena has
been shaping for some time. No an
nouncement has been made, but the
news leaked in Chicago when a tele-
gram was received here from Gotch.

NEVER CHANGES

Of all the animals in a large ZOO
the most interesting, though not the
most beautiful, is the hippopotamus.
The hippopotamus is the only animal
that. can be seen today exactly as he
appeared in prehistoric days. Other
animals have changed to accommodate
themselves to changing conditions and
environment, but the hippopotamus
presents the same appearance, the
same traits and characteristics that
he did in the time of the Pharaohs.
In Biblical days the inhabitants of
Egypt considered the hippopotamus
sacred animal, and the actual repre-
sentative Of their river God. There
fore, when the Nile would overflow it's
banks, or when the river would be low
in time Of drought, the natives were
want to strew the river with succu-
lent grasses and green leaves in an eff
fort to propitiate their God.
The largest living hippopotamus
that can be seen today is Lotus, in
the menagerie of Gollmar Bros. Am
erica's Greatest Shows. Lotus was
captured near the head waters Of the
Nile by special agents of Gollmar Bros.
and shipped direct to this country for
exhibition in their large menagerie.
Lotus weighs over two (2) ton, mea-
sures 8 feet inches from his broad
nose to his tail. His mouth, when
opened, measures from upper jaw to
lower jaw, 4 feet 1 inch. His mouth is
2 feet 6 inches wide. Gollmar Bros.
value Lotus at $4,000 and have him
insured at that sum with Lloyds Of
England. Gollmar Bros. Americas
Greatest Shows, with Lotus in the
menagerie, will exhibit at Virginia on
Saturday, July rs.
! It is we'll that the hippipotamus is
a docile animal, for if he were not, it
would be very hard to confine him in
any sort of cage. Lotus possesses al
most as much strength in his monster
jaw as an elephant does in it's trunk.
When first captured Lotus was placed
| in a corral made of huge timbers,
from which he promptly escaped by
crushing the timbers between his
monster jaws.

MANY H0MERS HAVE BEEN MADE
OFF MATHEWS0NS DELIVERY

Wheat by resounding whack Of his
trusty bat, cleared the bases by max
ing a home run. Then JACK Daubert
added another on May 4, thus making
a total of three homers the Brooklyn
aggregation has acquired in $500
tries.
Reds Are Third.
The Cincinnati Reds stand third in

with Matty, and they have registered
seven home runs off the peerless one
Five Of these we're merely spectacular
features; just two served to win

were mere empty honors and didn't
help their team to win, as Matty was
winner in seven of them. Titus OF
the Phillies in 1909 damned out q
homer that won a tight game by the
tight score Of SO.
A most peculiar feature about the
home runs made off Matty's pitching
is that the majority Of them happened
when the big fellow was working or
the home lot. Of the 43 home runs
rs of them were poled out before the
home crowd, so Christy had the sym
pathy of his friends and admirers
perhaps. The record of home runs
made off Mathewson averaged more
than many of the leading hurlers OF
the game. For instance, Edward
Walsh, the hiterto eminent hurler OF
the Chicago White Sox, escaped with
the paltry number of sixteen homers
made off his delivery during his entire
career,

Forty times during his career as a
baseball pitcher Christy Mathewson
has experienced that. awful sinking
sensation caused by the opposition
whacking the ball for a home run.
That peculiar crack of the bat when it
meets the ball square on the nose, the
sound which brings joy unbounded to
one player and large chunk OF woe
to another. Matty has heard it over
forty times. And about half >of them
were caused by two clubs, two teams
that have caused him more agony
than all other aggregations in the Ma
tional league-the Pirates under Fred
Clarke and the Chicago Cubs, the orr
ginal Frank Chance Cubs.
Of this number of home runs the
Pittsburgs lead with eleven, then the
Cubs ten, which total about half OF
the homers made off the delivery OF
Big Six. While the Pirates lead in
number the Cubs have created the
greatest amount Of havoc by their
long smashes, no less than six were
the direct cause Of winning games.
Mathewson has been very fortunate in
the midst Of his misfortunes, or rather
lucky in the matter Of these home
runs not creating any serious damage.
In the forty-three contests in which
these long hits have been registered
against Mathewson, just thirteen OF
them proved disastrous, or in other
words, thirteen Of them were the
means of deciding the game against
Matty, and the only benefit the other
thirty brought to the opposition was
a momentary period of bliss to the
maker.
Shock to Big Six.
This season something happened to
Matty, something he never experience
ed before. Two homers in a single
contest were real shock to Big Six,
and to add insult to injury the makers
were the hitherto lowly St. Louis
Cards. Up to date the Cards have

the Cardinals managed to make two

star hurler Of the Giants. So far this
season they have made three, and, as
mention, two in one game. A couple
