LORD ROSEBERRY MAY

 DOMINION OF CANADA

LONDON. June 2S. - The news that the Duke of Connaught is to re. turn to England in October has giv- en rise 10 speculation here as to who his successor will be. Lord Cur zOn was first named. but it is im- probable that he will be given the appointment. It is suggested that Lord Rosebery may find here an op- portunity of showing his great i'm perial gifts which the premiership only partly afforded him. London recognizes him today as its Imperial orator.

Those in offic- ial circles who are inclined to doubt the coming of Lord Curzon to Can ada back up their opinion with the statement that no VicerOy of India has ever been sent to Canada as Governor-General although former Governor-Generals of Canada have gone to India as the representative of the British crown
 It seems to be practically settled that Prince Alexander of Teck. who was named as the successor of the Duke of Connought before the war. will not come to Canada The prince is at the front and desires to stay there.

one who could stay with him twenty
minutes, without having his Shout
ders put against the mat.
Out of the large crowd appeared a
strapping. husky looking farmer boy.
He allowed he might take a chance
at it and maybe get the money.
The farmer boy climbed over the
ropes and entered the ring, half
apologizing to Burns when he an
nounced his declaration to try for
the s25.
The match started. The farmer
was unable to connect with the final
hold that would put the boys Shout
ders to the mat.
The crowd waxed enthusiastic,
looking at their watches from time
to time and watched the minutes
drag slowly along. The boy stayed
fifteen minutes, then the second hand
gradually licked off more minutes.
Gotch Won Money.
Twenty minutes had passed and
still Burns was trying desperately to
floor his opponent. A shout went up
from the crowd, which told Burns
that the farmer boy had won.
This did not end the bout and for
fifty-eight long minutes, Burns work

end OF that time the farmer boys
shoulders were pinioned to the mat
But, what battle 1t had been.
After the match. the farmer boys
name was announced; it was Frank
the lad, as he was still In his teens
and did not look like wrestler.
Gotch was asked by Burns il he
had wrestled any. The farmer lad
replied that he had done some, at
school with the other boys and that
he wasn't very often thrown.
Burns then made speech to the
audience. He told the crowd that oft
times such matches were faxed. but
declared this was a real bout and
that he had tried his best to floor
Gotch.
After sizing up Gotch once more,
Farmer Burns declared to Gotch and
the audience that IL he would let him

Gotch the champion of the world.
Gotch accepted this offer. trained
under Burns, and when Hacken-

boldt became wrestling champion of
the world. Later on, as everyone
who reads the sporting pages knows,
Gotch decisively whipoed Hacken-
schmidt, throwing him in two
straight falls.
