TURNER MEETS
new YORKER
Local Grappler to Work in
Finish Match with Hack
enschmidt.

Manager McGeorge returned from
New York yesterday with the sigma
ture of Young Hackenschmidt at
tached to articles calling for a finish
match with Joe Turner to take place
at the Lyceum Theater Thursday
night, March Il Hackenschmidt wired
that he would accept the terms last
Thursday but tried to crawl out after
the announcement, as several New
York clubs were dickering for the
match and in order to clinch the bout
for his house Mr.. McGeorge made a
hurried trip to New York and finally
succeeded in outbidding all his rivals.
putting up a large purse.
The articles call for a finish match
with no time limit for the worlds
middle-weight championship and belt
now held by Joe Turner, the winner
to receive the entire purse. Now that
the match is made arrangements will
be made to accommodate the largest
crowd that ever witnessed a match in
this city. In putting up his champion
ship belt Joe Turner Is defending II
on his own free will, as he became
the sole owner Of the trophy by de-
Tending his title four years. and the
Police Gazette has no Jurisdiction on
IL.
In his whole career the local man
has never refused to meet a worthy
opponent and after winning the title
in 1911 he met all corners from all
parts Of the globe. not only here on
the local mat, but Travelled from one
city to another. Looking for oppo-
nents, taking his own chances on the
gate receipts and depending on his
drawing ability to get the money. He
has never side-stepped a match in his
life and has never demanded unrea-
sonable purses in order to take
chances Of defending his title and belt.
Joe is popular champion and the
only Washington boy to reach the
pinnacle OF fame. He is the only
worlds champion that this city has
ever produced.
Young Hackenschmidt has made a
great record the past four years and
Is one Of the few men that have gained
decision over Turner and as this
match calls for no time limit one or
the other must win, as there can be
no draw decision.

TWO HIGH SCOOL
MINES IN ACTION
Central Starts to Prepare
for the Season-West-
ern Squad Out.

The excellent weather OF the last
week caused activities in the high
school baseball world as things have
been progressing rapidly. Each of the
high schools have called out candi-
dates, but only two Of them, Central
and Western have had actual diamond
work.
The Central youngsters turned out
Friday in full force and were put
through q slight practice by Coach
Metzler. Schaefer and Finney are ex-
pected to do the pitching for the Blue
and White. With these two men in
the box. and Pollack and Russell
behind the bat. the battery question
seems settled as far as battery can
didates go for the Mt. Pleasant nine.
Capt. DAILY is expected to don his
baseball togs on Monday. He has not
as yet reported for practice, having
taken a couple Of weeks rest after
his strenuous basketball efforts. Gen.
tral received rather a hard blow when
White, first base; Mcdonald, second
base; Cobb, shortstop, and Kimmie,
third base, graduated. This quartet
formed what would have probably
been the best infield in the high
schools.
Western high has four letter men
back this year, Groves, Fenwick and
Hout, infieIders, and Frank, outfielder,
having reported to Coach Morse,
Pepper, Sniythe and Claude, are out
for the pitching job this season. Reed
Is the only catcher to have reported
SO far.
Argoe was elected captain of the Red
and White track team a few days ago.
1t Is expected that the school across
the creek will have the largest num-
Der Of track candidates for quite a
long time. They have meets arranged
with st. Adams, Tech, Eastern, Busi-
ness and Georgetown Props.
Coach Morse has q schemes on hand
to increase the number of prospects
for the cinder track. All the letter
men of the school are to cooperate
with him and act as deputies, and
viii try to get every fellow in the
school to go out for track. II his
plan goes through he will have the
largest track squad in the history of
Washington high schools. His idea is
a good one and there is no reason
why he could not be successful.
The much-battered high school base
ball schedule has at last been COM
pleted and Is Official as follows:
April A-Eastern VS.. Business.
Western W.. Tech.
April 30-CentraI vs. Eastern.

Conditions At Camp
Cody Reported Good

Belvidere Times: Ed Barr was
in Friday, the first time since he
came back from Camp Cody and
lelIS US that all the Jackson coun.
~ boys there with the exception
Of Steve Vice, are in fine shape.
Steve has been having a bad
time with his throat but is get
tins along all right now. All the
BOYS weigh from 10 to - pounds
more than when they enlisted and
this extra weight is all bone and
muscle. They are drilling them
hard but they are taking the best
of care of them and everyone of
them Is in first class shape and
everyone of them is anxious to
get across the pond and get at
the Huns. Cody is not near as
bad as some Of the sensational
people try to make out. The one
real bad feature about It is the
sand but that is largely overcome
by Wettinq down the ground be-
fore they drill ana thus keep the
sand from blowing. On the start
they were crowded for hospital
facilities but that is being remed-
led as fast as they can get to it.
and all around, Ed figured it IS
not a bad place for a camp.
The Kadoka press and Kadoka reporter. [volume] (Kadoka, S.D.) 1910-1923, 1918-02-15

The Press is certainly proud of
the record Kadoka is making in
her effort to support the Red
Cross, Army Y. NJ. c. A. and all
other charitable organizations
which are assisting the Govern
ment in winning the war. Out
side of the different Liberty Bond
issues and Thrift Stamp cam
pai9n, kadoka and her immediate
territory has raised a sum of
100000 and has donated it to
the different funds. Had all our
people who are enjovin9 the bless
inRS of this great free govern
ment joined with the many patri-
otic folks who have given of their
time and funds, this amount could
easily read $500000. AS it is, it
is a grand record and pardon us
when we say that it is only equal
ed by few communities the size
of ours in South Dakota.
