Fact Of the matter is that il was
just this point-considered the cham
plon's weakest,-which enabled him
to defeat Robert Gardner for the ma
tional tie. and which carried him to
victory in the open tournament some
time earlier. OF course, there were
few times when Evans nerves we're
strained by the nature of the puts
he was forced to make. but the fact
that he had lost many matches in his
long career as a tournament, player
through poor putting. made his per-
Torrance stand out.

BOUT DRAW AFTER

MORO and HackensChmidt

Wilmington A. A.
lack WILSON WINS
FROM GEORGE SPOTTS

Tor two hours and twenty eight NM
utes. Jack Moro. local middleweight
wrestler, and Young Hackenschmidt, OF
New York, wrestled to draw in the
wmd-up of the opening program Of the
Wilmington Athletic Association in Turn
Han last evening. IL was not until the
directors of the hall ordered the bout
stopped, at 1921 o'clock, that the two
w1estlers would leave the stage. but
when the bout was called both men were
wall exhausted. Preceding the wind-up
two preliminarits were staged.
When Young Hackenschmidt appeared
on the stage tho fans saw that he WIS
not the Young Hackonschmidt' who
wrestIed MORO here last Memorial
Day. His identity rs the real Hacken-
schmidt he established with credentials
from George Bothner, wrestler and pro-
moter, Of New York, and newspaper
photographs Of himself Both the Hack.
cnschmidts. however. seem 10 be on a
par in the wrestling art, for the other
ilsckenschmidt gIRpplcd with MORO for
an hour and fifteen minutes 10 draw.
The wrestlers appeared at 952
o'clock and from then until the gong
brought the battle to a stop at 1921
o'clock, the fans were Afforded some
of the fastest, cleanest and most ex-
citing wrestling ever witnessed here.
When the bout was stopped, both men
were weary from their strenuous bat
tie, but at no time during the bout.
although they were coaxed to stop,
would either man give up.
At the start Moro was the aggres-
sor and it looked for while that he
would secure a fall before the bout
had proceeded many minutes. But
the subtleness Of the New Yorker
cyaded all his efforts. On several oc-
casions the local grappler gained a
crotch hold, but Hackenschmidt wr'g-
gled out. MORO proved the better at
securing holds, but in each instance
they proved valueless, for the New
York grappler squirmed out Of them
The two men will probably again
be seen in action here before long.

Numbering players is the most prac-

LEPERSFOUND
IN JAPAN FROM
These ISLANDS
Consul George H. Scidmore of
Toxic informs Secretary
Thayer in Letter

Induced by belief which is evident
ly quite prevalent to the effect that a
certain spring of healing" waters in
Japan Is cure for leprosy, not less
than eight or nine lepers are now In
that country. mostly desiring to re-
turn to Hawaii, according to the Amer
lean consul-general, George H. Scid-
more in letter to the secretary Of
the territory t@
Scidmore states in his letter--in
fact, in two letters which he has sent
here-that something should be done
to dispel this belief which he declares
is erroneous. and to induce victims
here to seek the help from the disease
which Hawaii provides.
Letter Written In May
Consul Scidmore's first letter to Sec
rotary Thayer was received here in
May Of this year. In 1t the consul stat
ed that several citizens of the Hawai-
ian Islands were in Japan afflicted
with leprosy, and that some of them
should be taken care Of by the terri
tory as they were without means and
were being treated in a Toxic hos
pital IL. u.
Secretary Thayer Immediately took
the matter up and wrote back to learn
how large a number of lepers from
Hawaii were to be found in that city.
He expressed surprise that, in con-
sideration of Hawaii's providing prob.
ably the best care of her lepers OF any
place in the world there could
be a large" number of such people
in japan. -.- .-. 49,. 49,
More information Received
Consul Scidmore's answer has just
been received. II gives the names OF
eight persons from Hawaii who have
evidently been in Japan for several
years, who are afflicted with the dis.
ease. One or two others are men,
toned whose names are not known
to the consul. -.
A mainland paper OF recent date
prints the following under a Yoko-
hama date line: ..=
The discovery of about % Ameri.
can lepers in different parts of Japan
has become a pressing problem for
American officials and for the Ameri-
can Association of Japan, which is

The lepers have made their way.
here in recent years with the hope
that they might be healed at the fa-
nous japanese hot ssprings, especially
those at Kusatsu, which are always
crowded with japanese lepers taking
the waters. Gradually they have drift.

have in other ways. become burdens
on the community. In view of the ex-

to secure their removal
