ESCAPED THE BUMP Rain Yesterday Deferred Defeat of Cedar Rapids Team at Burlington. BELDEN HILL GETS BUSY Orders Rusty Owens to Proceed and Stop Slaughter Three-Eye Protesting. The Cedar Rapids team was saved from another prospective defeat at Burlirtgton yesterday by which the Three-Eye 'cjig rain, for ue will he thankful. There is a general protest being light that this made because of the league is placed in as a result of the series so tar played ami Heiaen tun has bestirred himself. He has ordered Rusty Owens to go to Burlington and lend his services and it may be that ether players will get in the game to help uphold tne honor of the Three Eye and its pennant winners. From the tone of the press about the circuit it seems to he the concensus of opinion that the various associa tions should use their influence to pre vent players from undertaking inde pendtnt championship contests in which they essay to represent their city or their league. With hardly an exception they fail to keep in condition and do no: do any credit to the name they bear. If 's so in the case at Bur lington. The visiting players, released from the long pniod of discipline, do nor. keep regular .hours and are cither wise unfit to attempt a state cham pionship series. In this case the ad vantage is all with the home players, owing to the fact that they have been longer in training and are playing at home where they are known and where their pride spurs them on to do their best.

Chicago, Sept. 29 Eight hundred followers of the wrestling game saw Frank Gotch throw Jim Parr of Eng land in two successive falls, catch-as catch-can style, at Brooke's Casino last nignt. the l-Jngtisnman proved a wor thy opponent for the big American, and as soon as he had demonstrated his su perior cleverness the crowd was with him to a man. Gotch outweighed Parr by fully 20 pounds and was stronger in proportion, but his knowledge of the game as displayed last nignt nardly equaled that of the .veteran Briton. Klrat Took 17 M I nu !.. The first fall took 17 minutes. From the start it was apparent that Cotch had all the advantage, but the smaller man put up one eif the cleverest defen sive exhibitions ever seen Here. Three times during the first bout Parr broke a scissor or crotcn now uy cleverly forcing Gotch's head back with a chin hold. But the American's strength fi nally won him the fall on a leg and crotch hold. Gotch threw his man the second fall in 74 minutes with a half nelson and crotch hold. The spectators were given their mon ey s worth in the preliminaries. Two bouts were run off beside the main event. Dick Sorensen, a clever local welterweight, ground young Sandow of New York to the mat for two falls, the Gotham man taking the second fall. So rensen's falls were earned in 0:40 and 3:47, respectively, while it. took his eip pone'iit IS1 minutes to earn his round. The iiratch was fiercely contested and kept the crowd on their toes.

Yesterday's and last night's ra:n was one of the heaviest if not the heaviest of the season. The precipita tion during 24 hours, ending at 8 o'clock this morning was 2.3o inches, 10 times as great as that of all the re mainder of the month. However, the fall was so gradual and the ground so dry in the beginning that most of the water was absorbed and little ran away. Consequently there was no damage from Hoods in this immediate vicinity. The wind, too. was light. A peculiar feature of yesterday was the extremely small variation in tempera ture. The lowest point reached in the 24 hours prior to .S o'clock this morn ing was CO and the maximum 02. A bath cleanses the skin and rids the pores of reuise.
