TALK OF GUN CLUB ON WEST
SIDE

There. is some talk, among the West
side sportsmens Of organizing gun
club on that sidesolff@ the river and the
plan will likely materialize unless some
arrangements can be made whereby the
traps of the city gun club are more
centrally located. 1t is possible that
the club may move to the grounds
west of the Antlers hotel building aad
in such event no club would he formed
on the West side. However, with two
clubs in the city, it would result in
competitive shoots and would create
a good natured rivalry in this sport.

HERE'S WHY sullivan
WASN'T WORLD CHAMPION


Was John L. Sullivan ever
heavyweight champion Of the
world?
Mo- Why? Because he refused
TO meet Peter Jackson. negro
champion OF Australia.
Richard X. Fox put up belt
supposed 10 be emblematfc of the
championship OF the world. which
sullivan cOntemptuously referred
10 as "Fox's dog collar" but the
simple donation OF the belt could
not make the winner thereof a
worlds champion.
AS to Corbett. he would have
= been successful in his bout with
y Jackson. at Frisco. in 1891. which
was declared mo contest" at the
end of the siXty-first round. for
: the next year he defeated Sulli-
. van at New Orleans, and tw
. years later he defeated Charles
Mitchell, Of England, at Jackson
. Vile.
When Fitszsimmons stopped
Corbett at Carson City, on st.
Patrick's Day. 1897. he fell heir
to all Corbett's titles. and as he
had already defeated Jim Hall.
the recognized champion of Aus
tralia, he became the real thing
worlds champion" although he
never Dragged much about it.
All the titles garnered by Fitz-
simmons reverted to Jeffries when
the latter stopped Fitz at Coney
Island in 1899. Then came the
fizzle Of the century at Reno on
July 4, 1910, when the fistic cham
pionship Of the world passed to
. Jack Johnson; and after the
p. licking Of the latter by Jess VIII
lard. all these honors fell on the
proud shoulders of the man who
now wears them, and earned them
so calamity.

'LUNDIN meets Lewis
ON The MAT TONIGHT

One OF the most important wrestling
matches staged in this country since the
close OF the New York tournament ia
carded at The Playhouse for tonight be.
tween Ed "Strangler'' Lewis winner of
the New York wrestling tournament.
and IL. Lundin, the Swedish challenger.
mat Lundin has an even chance to
wrest the honor from its possessor is
admitted even by the Lewis followers.
This should be the best match of the
season, and few lovers of clean sport
will pass it up. The problem of select
ing winner for this match has been
something like the solution of the old
physics puzzle. What will happen when
an irresistible force needs an immov-
able bodyg So closely are the men
matched that neither has the call in
public esteem for the crown of glory
tonight.
Lewis is of type of wrestler entire
ly different from the ordinary concep-
tion of grappler. There is none of the
bruiscr or rough neck to him. But for
the fact that his ears, in common with
all members of his profession. have been
little mutilated, his trade could not
be detected. OF course his size would
attract attention anywhere, and posi-
bly, more admir6tion than attention.
Lewis has the air and hearing of a
courtly business man. He is particular
as TO his clothes. always appearing in
the best of taste and not overlooking
the whims of style.
Lewis is a real heavyweight. He tins
the BEAM when trained down fine, to
225 pounds, and this is the mark he
though six feet tall. this mass of mus
Gle makes him appear stoclly in the
ring. He Is one Of the speediest heavy
men in the game, and has a knowledge
of its tricks second to none.
Lnndin, his opponent, will be about
ten pounds lighter, or, in other words,
he will scale at about 2l5 pounds. The
Swede is q marvellous wrestling ma
chine. Whether he will be able TO
throw Lewis. is a moot question, but
after considering his showing against
Lewis here a short time ago. the fans
feel sure the Swedish qsppler has a
chance with any man in the game
HerOld Christensen. the l90-pOund
/ champion of the world, will make his
first appearance tonight against Frank
Leavitt, the heavyweight champion of
the United States army. Christensen
has heen trying to get a match in Will
mington for some time, 80 the manage
ment has decided to give him a good
try-out against a top notch grappler.
r, NJ. Maxwell who manages Christensen,
issued sweeping challenge to John
Heracl, the Wilmington grappler.
Christensen will throw Heracl three
falls in one hour or make Heracl a pres
ent of $780, said Maxwell
