WRESTLING TITLE HELD BY GOTCH
 FOR IA YEARS

It will be fourteen years tomorrow that Frank Gotch, the Iowa farmer, who died last December 16, won the wrestling championship of America after hard bout with Tom Jenkins, who had held the championship for six years previous. During the years that followed Gotch's annexation of the title he met all corners, and he c4ed in possession of the crown. He was also the heavyweight wrestling champion of the world.
 It was in big pavilion at Belling- ham, Wash, that the Iowa farmer won the greatest of mat titles. Fans from all over the Northwest, and from California and British Colom- bIa, gathered to see the contest. Jen- kins was a wrestler of the slaughter house rules" type, and his supporters confidently expected to see him eat young Gotch alive. Once before Gotch had had the temerity to try to wrest Jenkins title away from him, and had been defeated, although he put up a desperate battle and made Tom ex- tend himself to the limit. Jenkins outweighed Gotch by twenty or thirty pounds and had the advantage of long experience in the game. When time was called the place was filled with excited fans who had paid big money
 n the confident expectation of get ting a lot of action for their coin. They did. From the very beginning the men mixed things. Jenkins threw himself upon the Iowa rube" and sent him down, but Frank was up like a cat. Again and again Jenkins charged, snorting like an infuriated bull, but without effect. Gotch had trained faithfully, and when Jenkins
 was puffing like steam engine he showed no signs of fatigue The half Nelson and crotch sent Jenkins down, and a mighty cheer went up for Gotch. When time was called again it was evident that Jenkins, rather than again risk conclusions with
 Gotch, intended to lose on a foul. He
 succeeded in this endeavor and ref cree Tom Davis gave Gotch the vic tory. The Iowa farmer, besides the title, got away with $4,000 from this battle, while the defeated champion had to be contented with his guar
 antee of $1,000.

HUGCINS WANTS AN OUTF|ELDER
 FOR TANKS

New York, Jan. 26 Having strengthened his infeld by his acqui- sition of Second Baseman Derrill Pratt, Miller Huggins. the Yankee manager, is now taking up the more difficult task of reconstructing his outfieId. The imperative need of the Yankees at present is at least one outfielder who can hit in the neigh borhood of 300, and every effort will be made to secure such player be- fore the start of the 1918 season.
 The clubs scouts secured the minor leagues for such an infielder last sea- son, and Joe Kelly, the chief of scouts, was kept on the trail of Beals Becker, the former Giant, now with Kansas City, for quite a spell. Beals has led the American Association for the last two seasons, but Kelly passed him up. Kelly also followed the two Coast League outfielders obtained by the Phillies. Fitzgerald and Meusel. The former is a Yankee castoff and Kelly did not regard him with favor. He recommended the purchase of Meusel, and the Yankees put in a draft for him, only to have Philadel- phia beat him out.
 If the outfelder Higgins is after cannot be obtained from the minors, some kind of a trade may be arrang- ed before the 1918 season opens, though it may not be until after the end of the training season. Higgins desires to have a look. at both his pitchers and outfelders before mak- ing further trades.
 Marsans and Gilhooley are ex- pected to start the season in right and centre, but a new man is wanted for left field. Gilhooley so far has escaped the draft, though he was called among the first. Even if his shoulder has mended sufficiently for him to play ball, his draft board may consider him ready for military ser vice. According to advice from Cuba, Marsans has recovered entirely from the effects of his broken leg and has lost none of his former speed. Mar sans and Gilhooley, by the way, are the only Yankee players Higgins ever saw in action with the exception of Beck and Pratt, who never have been in a Yankee uniform.
 7 When signs of peace appeared brighter than they are now, thee Tub hoped to buy Clarence Walker from the Red Sox With Duffy Lewis and Chick Shorten in the navy, Boston will not let Walker go now.
 Huggins expects to come to New York on Feb. 1 and remain in town until the time the team leaves for the Yankee training camp at Macon, Ga.

Oarsmen of '52
 May Meet Again

T EW HAVEN, Jan. 2G.-A re-
 N union of all the Yale and = Harvard oarsznen of the first decade of rowing by college crews is suggested by Walter Camp, of Yale. in the Yale Alumni Weekly. He calls attention to the successful effort of James NJ. Whiton, Yale '53, who rowed in the first Harvard Yale regatta on Lake Winnipesau- kee, August 8, 1852.
 He says that if the proposed re- union were to embrace the entire period of the first 10 years of col lege rowing, the occasion would prove even more successful than the pioneer event launched by Whiton. Although the percentage of mortality is naturally high, Camp feels that a large and en- thusiastic number of members of the crews between 1852 and 1862 would attend a reunion, should one be arranged.

DUNN MAY HAVE
 BETTER TEAM THAN PHILA.

Jack Dunn, Ba1timore's irrepress- ible diamond magnate, is going right ahead with his plans for the coming season, despite claims made in New York that the International League, On February 12, will vote to suspend for the duration of the war. Dunn is grabbing up all those birds Connie Mack is dropping by the wayside.
 Instead of being released outright, Meyer, Griffin, and Parnham have been released to the Orioles for 1918. They will aid in making a ball club for the Monumental City next sum- mer. Indeed, to many of us, Jack Dunn's outfit will look quite as strong, if not stronger, than the misfit collec- ton Connie Mack will have at Shibe Park.
 Dunn turned over Red" Shannon. shortstop, and McAvoy, catcher, to the Mackmen. In return he will receive Buck Griffin, first baseman; Bill Meyer, catcher; lRube Parnham, pit cher; Otis Lawry, second baseman, and Alex Schaufele, catcher. Lawry has announced his retirement from professional baseball.

KID PNEUMONIA
 CLOUTS LEONARD

New York, Jan. 26-Benny Leon ard, the worlds lightweight cham pion, is threatened with pneumonia. The clever little fellow was brought home yesterday from Camp Upton, where he was stationed by the War Camp Activities to teach the recruits the rudiments of bayonet usage.
 While at the cantonment he caught a severe cold, to which he paid no at tention until it became serious. A hurried examination showed the champion was close to pneumonia, so it was decided to bring him to his home in this city, where he will re- ceive better medical attention.

 Bill Killifer and Charles Weeghlnan are old acquaintances, and have gone through the ceremony of signing con- tracts once before. It was memor- able occasion when Weeghman secur- ed BilFs signature to a Federal lea que contract during the baseball war. Killifer later repudiated the contract and stuck to the Phillies.
 fast outfieIders, who was well up in the batting race last season, has re iected a contract of S425 monthly and says he will quit the game. Hen dricks is in a bad way for outfielders, as the draft now threatens to rob him of two more men.
 Red Causey, young Giant pitcher, who made a good recos1 with Roch- ester last year, sent in his signed con- tract yesterday. He was at Marlin with the Giants last spring, having been obtained from the Waco club of the Texas league.
 We'll, the Senators aren't worrying about their salaries, anyway. Clark Griffith has given it out that the own- CTS of the Washington club will not reduce salaries generally, and so ev- erybody is as happy as one can be playing with the Senators.
