KEWPIE CONFIDENT
HE WILL BEAT PAL

Baltimore, April 5.-Tomorrow will
be the biggest day in the training pro-

championship fight with Pal Moore
next Wednesday night at the Lyric
before the Pickwick Athletic Club. The
st. Paul Kewpie will not finish his
work tomorrow, but on Monday and
Tuesday he will ease of and Wednes-
day should find him in the best pos
sible physical condition for the i'm
portant setto on Wednesday night.
Great crowds have been in attendance
daily at Doyle's gymnasium. where
Ertle is doing his training. and the
place will undoubtedly be packed to-
morrow. Johnny, however, has no OBJ
jections to the number OF spectators.
for he says it always makes him feel
as II he were in a real battle and he
accordingly gets more out of his work.
The little fellow is down to the
weight required OF him; as a matter
Of fact, he is under 1t. The articles
Of agreement call for 1l6 pounds ring
side. give or take a pound. There
has been some talk Of cutting out the
ve-or-take-a-pound condition. but
Johnny will not consent to this until
the arrival Of his manager. Ertle
himself realizes he will be below 116
when he goes into the ring, but he
does not want to do anything which
may not meet with the entire ap-
proval Of the man who looks after
his business for him.

He writes: Now there is in England

there is to know about the national

INDIAN WRESTLER
MEETS TURNER HERE

Chief Montour CWar Eagle, the IA
nous Indian wrestler who recently is
sued q challenge 70 Joe Turner through
the columns of The Washington Her
aid. has finally been granted a match
with the middle-weight champion and
will appear on The local mat at the
Lyceum Theater next Thursday night
In q finish match, best two in three
falls.
The Indian has wrestled all the good
men during the past fifteen years and
his record is hard to beat. as he won
from such men as Con Albright. John
Berg, Charlie Kaiser, Jack Jordan.
Demetral, Ed Connley, AckerInan.
Walt Evans, Henry Gehring. Cyclone
Barnes. Jack McGrath and Henderson,
and was almost mobbed for taking a
fall out Of Pet Brown at Austin, Tex,
three years ago. This was the first
time that Browns shoulders were ever
forced to the mat, and War Eagle
would have won the match had the
Texas mans friends let it continue.
Joe Turner has never wrestled the
Indian and has not even seen him
In action. but knows him by reputa-
ton and knows that he has undertaken
a tough proposition when he attempts
to pin the burly redskin to the mat.
As a matter of fact Joe was not to
meet the Indian. as Manager Nc
George had practically booked John
Kilonis. the Greek, with Montour. but
at the last minute when the Greek
decided not TO come Turner stepped in
and made the bout,
