LEWIS CONFIDENT
 OF VICTORY HERE
 OVER GIANT POLE
kentuckian Doing Strenu- Ous Work With Frank GOtch on Farm at
 Humboldt

Humboldt. la. August 24.-(special) The sight of big man encased in sweat CTS and steaming precipitation trotting over dusty county roads is becoming fa milar to farmers of this section of the great corn belt. and they have come to recognize the dusky figure as Ed tStrangler) Lewis Lewis, by this time, is well known around Humboldt, for he has frequently visited Frank Gotch and always does his preliminary training for big bout in this place.
 Lewis works out during the morning hours in a gymnasium, which Gotch has fitted up in his barn. The former cham pion keeps open house for his old friends and foes of his wrestling days and is always ready to assist them with a bit lar friend of Goteh and the latter re- ceived him with open arms when he ar rived the first part of the week for the training for the match with zbyszko in Birmingham on September g. news of which has oeen received in Humboldt with keen interest.
 Lewis has been putting himself through an exceedingly strenuous programme of training during the week and as he was already in frst-class condition is look ing extremely fit. During the morning hours he does gymnasium work, while in the afternoon he takes his distance work for the wind Gotch is actively super intending the training of the big Ken tIckian, who has made the name of his state famous in the wrestling world
 II could go on the mat tonight and beat the Poe'' said Lewis today as he rested in the shade of an apple tree and consumed with gusto a glass of but termilk cooled in the depths of the wei on the Gotch place. T am in the besr condition of at any time in my career and 1 expect to cop the victory in Bir-
 ningham against the Pole I expect to do considerable training work after I ar rive in Birmingham, but 1 am hard as nails now and my wind is of the best
 T welcome this opportunity to meet zbyszko and personally I am more than pleased that the match has been booked in Birmingham, because I have so many friends there whom I want to see me when l hold the Pole as helpless as a babe. zbyszko is a great wrestler that is not to be denied. He is one of the best that Europe has produced, but | have mastered him once and I will mas ter him again
 This is the deciding bout between us and l am overlooking no factor which might enter into the contest In San Y hldlCiSco LDySZho was declared the Win ner by the referee although I protested vigorously that the fall was outside the ring and was unfair. In Boston, when we met again, I was the victor The wrestling public knows all this now shall throw Zbyszllo before Birming- ham audience and my friends, and he will not have leg to stand on.''

In the seventh a double play killed a Lookout rally. The visitors had no other chances with the exception of the eleventh.
 The game was fast and snappy and un- der ordinary circumstances the Barons should have returned the winner in nine rounds without going into extra innings to lose. The breaks favored the Look outs repeatedly.
 Comstock had two strikes and no balls on Smith when the Lookout right-gard- ener drove a single to the mdfeld which scored the winning markers. Both Com stock and Merritt hurled splendid ball and each were accorded swell support The only error-that by Webb in the eleventh which figured in the scoring hampered either sides efforts. Each team committed three boobies.
