'ERTLE READY
FOR WOLF BOY
Kid Williams Meets Kewpie
Mauler from St. Paul in
Baltimore Tonight.

Kid williams, the Baltimore tiger,
and Johnny Ertle. the Kewpie mauler
from ST. Louis. are anxiously await
ing the sound of the gong which viii
send them into action at the Lyric
Theater in Baltimore tonight. The
fight Is scheduled for twelve rounds
at lis pounds. The winner Will be
given a chance 70 battle Pete Herman.
the bantam-weight champion OF New
Orleans.
Williams and Ertie viii weigh IN az
10 O'Clock this morning at the Doyle
Athletic Club. the articles calling for
the bantam-weight limit. Williams
last night ruled a 2-to-I favorite, his
punching powers giving him the edge
in the betting.
Williams was not anxious TO do ring
side weight. Under the conditions,
Williams will be doing himself an in
Justice IL he does not enter the ring
weighing close TO the feather-weIght
limit. which is IL pounds At this
weight the Kid will be at his best
strength and this means that Ertle
vii be tackling the blond battler at
conditions which could not be better
made for the home contestant.
At the weight the former title-hol-
der will be able TO furnish a slam
bang affair. such as only he can do.
Ertle can look for no quarter at any
stage and the chances are that will
liams will set a giddy pace from the
very jump. One thing that must be
said for Ertle is that he can stand
lot OF beating. He took most OF
what Williams handed him out in st.
Paul. but no boy can stand UP under
the grilling that the blond battIer
furnishes and not feel IL. That sort
Of chap would not be human.
An examination into Ertle's record
more than strengthens the belief that
the Baltimore boy will be at the long
end at the finish. Ertle has been much
talked Of. but nothing more than the
verdict he won from Williams on a
foul gained him that publicity. Ex-
cepting Young Diggins. the St Paul
boy has done no knocking out He il
above the average battler by a good
bit. but a man must be that in order
TO have anything like an even chance
with Williams at his best, as he will
be when he squares OF to face Ertle
tonight.
The four bouts which will precede
the warm battle are well worth the
trip Of the local fans. Harry Glenn,
the Baltimore feather-weight, who Is
well-known to fistic fans in this sec
tion, is slated 10 travel six rounds
with Happy Davis. OF Philadelphia
The first preliminary which is sche-
duled for four rounds will bring to-
gether two crack little fistic stars OF
the Monumental City. Battling Dun
dee, who has been coming along at a
great rate recently, Is down 10 face
Mickey Dougherty while Kid Tuths
and Young Stecher go four rounds in
the other bout Eddie Hill will meet

which will be at four rounds.

MATTY BGOOD
WITKAR RIFLE
Manager Of Reds Has Be
come an Ardent Bug
Of Trapshooting Game.
by PETER b. CARNEY.


''Christy' Aathewson, BucknelI, 90.
manager of the rejuvenated Cincin-
natl Reds, and one of the best pitch
ers that baseball has ever known, is
an ardent gun" bug.
"Matty'' was one of the quartet Of
ballplayers that participated In
matches in twenty-one cities in seven
teen States a couple of years ago.
He was a novice at the sport Of
trapshooting then, but nowadays he
takes his turn at the Cincinnati Gun
Club traps with the best shots In the
city noted for the failures OF Its base
ball clubs.
Trapshooting made quite, an impress
sion on Mathewson during the ball
players tour. and as he is an apt
pupil II didn't take him long to pick
up the fine points Of the sport. 1t
is an accepted fact that 1t requires
the same concentration, the same
pilot eye" the same acting in unison
Of the eye, brain and nerves to be-
come successful ballplayer that It
does 10 become proficient trap
shooter, and in either line IL requires
practice to become a leader.
Becoming interested in trapshoot-
ing. big Six also took to hunting
in the Held, and he gives considerable
time to quail hunting each fall, d.
rectly after the close Of the baseball
season. Last fall he went to Texas
after quail with Jack Wheeler, the
writer. Wheeler. who had never
done any bord shooting before, quite
naturally carried an expensive out
fit.
On their first day in the field
their dog struck a warm scent and
came to a point. As Mathewson and
Wheeler advanced, the covey, which
was mostly made up OF young birds.
began scurrying through the weeds
in plain sight. Wheeler threw his
gun to his shoulder and with its
muzzle began following one of the
little brown fellows.
Say" demanded the astonished
Mathewson. you aren't going to
shoot him while he's running, are
you?"
Certainly not" he said; I'm
waiting for him to stop"

Gotch, Undefeated Mat
Champ, Called by Death
Humboldt, Iowa, Grappler Loses his Last
Fall-Uraemic Poison
ing Cause.

Des Moines Dec. 1s-Frank A. Gotch.
undefeated champion wrestler of the
world. died at his home at Humboldt,
Iowa. at noon today. Death was due
to uremic poisoning, according ito his
physicians. Gotch had been In i'll
health for nearly two years.
Frank A. Gotch, perhaps the great
est wrestler the world has ever known.
undefeated champion of the world, has
lost his last fall. His wonderful
strength, his cat-like agility, his mat
craftiness availed him nothing against
that champion of champions, death.
Gotch Is one of the unique figures
Of American sport. He Is one of the
few champions who have retired with
their championships safely tucked
away.
Gotch was born on a farm near
Humboldt, Iowa. April q. ISIS, his par
ents being Of Dutch descent. He at
tended the country school near his
home until he was 16, when he was
sent to college to study law. Gotch
was so busy with athletics that his
father took him from school before the
end Of the year and put him to work
on the farm.
In 1897 Gotch got the gold craze
and went to the Klondike and 1t was
here that he first wrestled for money.
At Bear Creek owners of rival mines
persuaded Gotch to wrestle a local
celebrity and bet $1,000 a side on the
match. Gotch won in eighteen min
utes and was given 5000 as his share.
Gotch soon afterward returned to the
United States, but later returned to
Alaska. remaining there a few months.
Gotch's first big match in America
was with the great Dan Mcleod, then
in his prime. This match took place
in Lucerne. Iowa. and Gotch lost.
After this match he became pupil
Of Farmer Burns, the former world
champion. who taught Gotch the in
side points of wrestling which en-
abled him to defeat Tom Jenkins for
the American title in Kansas City in
1906.
Gotch cinched the world title by de-
feating George Hackenschmidt, Eu-
ropean champion, in Chicago. two
years later. In 1911 he again met and
defeated Hackenschmidt with ridicu-
Ious ease.
On January II, 1911, Gotch married
Miss Gladys Oestrich. daughter OF a
wealthy Iowa farmer, whose farm
adjoined the Gotch homestead. Since
their marriage they have lived at
Humboldt. They have one child, a
boy of 5.
Gotch has won thousand of dollars
on the mat and investments, mostly
in Iowa land, have made him a
wealthy man. He owns about 1000
acres OF land near Humboldt in ad-
dition to his home farm and his resi-
dence in addition to large blocks of
bank stocks and other safe securities.
- One of the greatest evidences Of
Gotch's sense of honor was shown
in his refusal two years ago to meet
Joe StecheB, the sensational Ne
braska boy in a match for the cham
pionship of the world. -
The match would have meant more
than $4,000 to Gotch, but he refused
to sign articles, when he was not con-
fident Of victory, fearing his hun
dreds of friends would lose thou
sands of dollars should he be de-
feated
