In r n J l OGDEN STANDARD SPORTING PAGE I TO CONTEST I FOR TITLE tii Yokel and Gehring Wrestle Tonight in Salt Lake After a long discussion yesterday Benjamin E. Harker wts h. greed upon as the referoo In the Yokel -Qehnng championship wrestling match tonight at tho Salt Lake theater. Tho names of a number of othors were mentioned before the principals finally agreed on Marker Tho wrestlers will weigh In at 31 o'clock this afternoon to prove they I do not exceed the limit of 158 pounds I Promoter Harry Heagren Is confl-i dent the bout will not end In a draw Despite the hlRh character of the; wrestlers Heagren will warn both of them that If either falls to show th I utmost good faith or does not do bis best, nothing less than a law-; suit will be required before any mon ey is paid over Both men. It seems, have too much at stake to do anything less than , their best The title Itself Is an in-j come paying asset as long as an ath lete Is able to retain It, and for a' secondary consideration there Is thej glory of being the champion Fans may expect to see tonight one; of the hardest wrestling bouts they have ever witnessed Gehring, It is ex- j peeled, will make the Yokel support-1 ers a little anxious during the first 1 I I half lion r by hi6 speed and clever tac tics, but Yokel Is always a strong tlQ- I Isher and invariably evinces a stub born reluctance to having his shoul ders pinned to the mat. Good solid muscle as well as spectacular meth ods will bo required to vanquish Mike. There Is very little betting on the result and this is an almost Infallible Indication that neither of the wres I tiers feel6 certain of the outcome. There is plentj of Yokel mone hut nobody will give better than even odds Admirers of the mat game will have no trouble in getting fairly good seats If they go after them early enough today Despite the big rush there are stiall a few stage scats leit and n number of otherH In desirable loca tions Gehring worked out at the fire sta tion yesterday He seemed to be ery speedy and clever. In wrestling togs he looks much hlgcer than Yo- ' kel. yet there will probably be not a; pound of difference In their weights ! Each man will weigh more than 157 and less than 15S. That Gehring has been In special training for this match is Indicated by his promise last night to show fans i "something new in the wrestling line. He would not elucidate fur- ther, but he tacitly admitted that he has a surprise or two in store. Yokel is pursuing the even tenor; of his way as Instructor of the Y. M. C. A. He has trained conscientious ly, but most of his training consist- ; ed in wrestling with hiB pupils. He says he Is in much better condi-! Uoa than he was when he met Geh ring In Cleveland On that occasion 1 it was Mike whao had just made n long railroad journey and was in a climate to which he was unaccus tomed l'hls lime it is Gehring who is under that handicap. Yokel and Gehring will make be tween $1200 and $1650 each by their strenuous efforts on the mat tonight. M'CARTY NOT IN THE BOOB CLASS Personally, Lather seems a decent enough Idd. For he is juet that a big. Irresponsible Uld,' says one crit ic. "He's the handsomest thing you ever looked at In your life stripped for action and he has the courage and excellent nerve. Just before the bell rang to start the Palzer fight some fellow in Luther s corner 6tood Up and offered to bet a thousand on McCarty, giving odds of in to B Mc carty hoard him, and. Jumping up, cave a wild cowboy yell Then ho sat down and laughed s matter of fact he laughed and kidded Palzer all through the fight, often standing in the middle of the ring to watch him go to his corner He revor lost his hea once In the fight, and the faster Palzer rushed him the cooler McCarty seemed to be I believe that In a v ear's time Mccarty will he p. wonder and far and awa the hear man in the game Don't make the mistake of ranking him among the boohs He doesn t belong in that class, " San Francisco, Feb. 5 Members of the all-Hawall polo team, which will 1 enter the tournament to be held soon 1 at Toronado, Cal., arrived here today on the steamer Moncolla from Hono lulu.
