1 The Latest Germans
m In Sports Advance
t What the Wrestlers, Boxers and Base
Ball Artists Are Dping.
Apart from the offer of a 830,000
purse for Johnson nnd Langford,
scarcely a word has come over the
cables from London since the Lang
Langford fight. There never was a
big ring affair, in fact, with so little
aftermath. The inference is that
there is nothing further to tell and
nothing to argue about. Langford
polished off the Australian so com
pletely that Lang or Lang's friends
cannot think of anything on which
to basea demand for areturn match.
Now that society men have taken
up boxing and are inviting profes
sional pugilists to join them in the
pastime, there is danger of some of
the journeymen bruisers getting too
big for their gloves. It was all right
for Bobby Beresford and Drexcl of
the Upper Ten to have a little set-to
on their own account, but when
Tnnv Riddle of Philadelphia, who
is called ''the pugilistic champion of
thoFour Hundred," or something
like that, arranged to do a few
rounds with Packey McFarland he
started something that may result
in class distinctions arising among
the fellows who fight for a living.
It wouldn't be unlike McFarland to
tell his next challenger too and
get a social reputation.
And after all there is to bo no
world's championship wrestling
match between Frank Gotch, the
American Bear, and George Hack
enschmidt, the Russian Lion. At
least that is the latest report that is
being spread in hammerlock circles.
Hackenschmidt, they say, is
thoroughly disgruntled at the turn
affairs have taken, and he criticises
Gotch without reservation. He says
"Gotch has not only fooled me, ho
has fooled the, public. He gave out
that ho was debarred from wrestling
because of a promiso made his wife
Personally, when I heard this I did
. not press matters, but when it was
told that Gotch's wife had with
drawn her objections and that he
was prepared to defend his cham
pionship, I looked for an early meet
ing. He hasn't made the slighest
move towards accepting my dial
lengo, however; and as I am leaving
the country in tho near future, it is
verv evident there will bo no wrest'
ling match between U3 for a long
time at least." Jack Curley, man
ager of Hackenschmidt, declares
that Gotch has carefully avoided
Hackenschmidt from first to last.
"Since Gotch announced his re
turn to tho mat ho has confined
himself to wrestling hired men and
giving exhibitions," says Curley.
Sl The fact that "Duke" Farrell is
.'going south to coach the young
Yankee pitchers this season means
tho passing of Lou Criger from major
league ranks whero for years ho
shone as one of the greatest back
stops tho game ever produced. Chase
believes Criger's days of usefulness
as an activo participant nt an end
With Farrell to do the coaching
there is no place on tho team for tho
aged and respected veteran Criger.
No waivers have been asked on
Criger. He will in all probability
become a freo agent through tho club
not offering him a contract before
March 1. Chaso has made no pro
vision for Criger in his plans for this
season's campaign. It is quite un
likely that any other big league club
will have use for the celebrated bat

Politics of Europe.
There is no uso trying to exorciso
it, the Gcrman'spcctrc will not down
and the publication of its census
figures giving tho empire a popula
tion of 04,896,885, an increase of
more than 4,000,000 in five years,

spectre.
The great problem which troubles
tho old Avorld to-day is the rise of
Germany to a position of domina
tion on the continent, greater than
that which has ever been enjoyed by
any power since the days of tho
great Napoleon. She has enjoyed
uninterrupted peace since 1871 and
whih maintaining her armaments,
has been freo to devoto the whole of
the national energy to the task of
industrial commercial development.
While Franco has practically stop
ped breeding any surplus popula
tion, the Gorman cradle has never
been empty. By sheer dint of tho
multiplication of their species, Ger
many has acquired such a redun
dant population that she. can afford
to reject from her army all weak
lings, while France, on tho other
hand, from sheer lack of human
material, has often to pass as re
cruits weedy boys who are not fit to
stand the strain of actual battle.
Thirty years ago she was unable
to feed a population of 40,000,000
Now, by scientific applications, she
is able to provide for more than
60,000,000.
Thirty years ago 200,000 Germans
left the Fatherland every year, to
seek new homes and means of liveli
hood in America and elsewhere
Now she actually imports emigrants
from other countries to meet tho
demands of her ever increasing in
dustry.
Prosperity has led to such an in
crease in Gorman wealth that Ger
many will, beforo long dethrone
Franco as completely in tho realm
of finance as she has dethroned her
on the sea and on land.
Russia crippled by her Japanese
war, and still suffering from the
aftermath of her revolt, has ceased
to threaten Germany's eastern flank.
France is not regarded as a serious
antagonist in a single-handed war
with Germany. The Germans con
fidently calculate that if war broke
out they would bo in Paris in six
weeks.
The British empire alone remains
as an independent unit, whoso coun
sels aro not dominated by tho
shadows of tho German swords. But
England, despite her entento with
France and Russia, is powerless from
a military point of view. Her do
mination is more and moro limited
to sovereignty of the seas, and that
sovereignty Germany lias been dili
gently undermining for tlio last ten
years.
Tho menacing shadow of German
power stretching across the narrow
seas fills the minds of tho Britons
with an undisguised uneasiness. Tho
British, who for the last 200 years
have often intervened and dispatch
ed armies to the continent, aro slow
ly waking up to realize the fact that
they can no longer play ecn an im
portant, much less a decisive role,
in tho battlefields of Europe.
adopted by the big leagues, however,
make it extremely unlikely that any
club will pick him up for that pur

money, and is in a position to spend
tho remaining days of his lifo on a
fine farm in Michigan,. freo from
financial cares and worries.
