" This is not the first time that this correspondent has agitated getting control of this fund left by citizen of the town of Tol- land for the benefit of his own town. If such an effort should be made to move this fund to Rockville, it would be resisted by every man, woman and child in the town of Holland.

LOCAL TRACK MEN
READY FOR MEET
Chalk and Hippler to Uphold
Glory of Rock Island High
at Evanston.

Chalk and Hippler, the track men
who will represent the local school at
the Northwestern university inter
scholastic indoor track and field meet
on Friday and Saturday, are ready for
their trip. They have been rounding
into shape during the past week, and
Coach G. ID. Corneal has pronounced
them fit for the big races in Evans
ton. Chalk will probably run in the
mile and half mile, although ne is al
so entered in the quarter mile dash.
Chalk was picked by men who know
as the probable out-of-town star,
meaning athletes OF high schools
outside of Chicago, and he is expect
ed to take some high honors in the
half mile run. Last year at Stages
interscholastic, against men of far
more experience from all parts of the
country, Chalk took third in the half
mile. travelling around the cinder
path in the fast time of 2:O5 and
fraction.
Hippler is a man who has had but
little experience on the track, al
though he represented the local
school in several meets last spring.
His abilities are in the dashes and
he has been entered in the so and 40
ward dashes. He was one of the four
men who COPIED the Big Eight relay
pennant at Galesburg last spring, and
what he will spring at the Evanston
meet on Friday is matter of con-
lecture among the students.

JESS SLAYMAkER
TO WRESTLEHE
Albany Welterweight to Meet
Harry Bronden in Finish
Match at Illinois Theatre.

Jesse Slaymaker. the welter-wseight
wrestler of Albany, ILL.,, will meet
Harry Brondell of Davenport in a fin
fish match before the Illinois Athletic
club at the Illinois theatre next Tues
day evening, March 81. Arrange
ments for the bout have just been
completed, and both grapplers have
agreed to terms. The match will be
best two out of three falls, Police
Gazette rules to govern.
This bout will doubtless excite con-
siderable interest after a lull of sew
eral weeks in the wrestling game at
the Illinois theatre. 1t was brought
about by a message which Billy Hur-
ley, the Albany lightweight, brought
to the tricities last week. Hurley
came to Davenport last Thursday to
wrestle Ionic Page before the Dayen-
port Commercial club. He announced
at that time that Slaymaker had been
showing great form on the mat dur
ing the winter and was anxious to Sc
cure a return bout with Brondell in
order to show his superiority over the
Davenport grappler. AS soon as
Brondell heard of this he readily

no fear of the outcome
A representative of the Illinois
Athletic club got Slaymaker over the
long distance telephone yesterday
and the BALD Eagle" as Jesse is
termed in and around the home circle,
accepted the conditions specified for
the bout
Brondell and Slaymaker met over a
year ago, the former winning after a
hard tussle. Slaymaker stated he
was not in the best of condition at
that time.
Brondel tossed Dave Henschen of
Northwest Davenport in two straight
falls last Thursday and proved con-
clusively that several days of hard
training will put him in first-class
shape for the Slaymaker bout.

Why Gotch Became a Wrestler

New York, March 25-This is a
story of Frank Gotch, worlds heavy
weight wrestling champion, who start
ed out early in life with firm deter
mination to be a champion boxer, but
instead saw his fond hopes shattered
at the hands of his first professional
opponent. Gotch never intended to
become wrestler. The game was
too tame for him. He wanted to be
a boxer, and it was only the force of
Iowa farmer to change his mind. But
Gotch doesn't bear any ill-feeling to-
ward the fellow who knocked him
out in his first bout in the Alaska
gold fields region back in the '9Os. As
events have turned out that was an
suspicious occasion, for it led to the
building of a wrestling career that
has made Frank Gotch famous the
world over.
When the gold fever was on, nearly
fifteen years ago Gotch went to Daw-
son City as a plain everyday prospec-
tor like thousands of others to search
for the glittering gold. And it was
there that his memorable fight took
place Though everybody was eager
for gold the miners found time to
amuse themselves. Boxing was one of
their chief forms of recreation and
every now and then a bout was pro-
NOTED. These little affairs were staged
merely for sports sake, but much
changed hands at that. Being
a big chap and interested in boxing
Gotch thought the chance would be a
fine opportunity to test his ring skill,
and it was to his sorrow.
Meets Camp Champion.
II was in 1899. For a while things
were mighty dull in camp. Strikes of
the hidden metal were few and far
between. The miners were getting
weary of the dreary country and
onged for little excitement There
was fellow in camp named Frank
