World's Wrestling Champion
Denie Use of Oil.
Says Every Time HeWas Rubbed
Sereral Were Present.
Chicago, April .George Hacken
schtrildt,, dethroned wrestling cham
pion, sore in body and mind, yesterday
changed jhis mind about going to a
Minnesota farm , with Y7V W: Wittig,
and instead departed at once for Eng
land.. . . ' .
It is- said that he cabled a long dis
patch to London, declaring that Frank
Gotch's body was oiled and that the
American continually gouged him in
the eyes and that he was unfairly
treated by Referee Ed Smith. This was
carried to Gotch, who said at once:'
- "Every time I was rubbed was at tha
Illinois Athletic club; and It was done
in the presence of sevn and eight peo
ple. On the day of the Tnatcb. I was
not rubbed at all. ' Had' Hackenschmidt
thought I was oiled he should have ap
pealed to the, referee at any stage of
the game to settle H at pnee. My wrists
were not oiled. I purposely trained
lightly so as to perspire much early In
the bout and that made me slippery."
One of Gotch's representatives said:
; "Hackenschmidt said that his thumbs
were practically numbed after the first
few minutes with Gotch, as the Ameri
can bore down heavily . upon them.
.Whenever he caught Gotch's hand, he
aid. Prank would twist It suddenly
and bring all his weight upon the
thumb. It was not an effort on Hack
enschmldfs Tart to get a flying mare'
hold, as I see Gotch thinks, that made
Hack use both hands on one of his at
various stages. It was Hackenschmidt s
effort to break away from ' the grip
Gotch had oh his thumb." - - '"
. Up . in Hackenschmidt' training
quarters Rudolph Unholz. the fighter,
who was Hack's second, listened to the
comment " on gouging by Hack and
aid, in a kidding way:
"Did he gouge you? Then why did
you not gouge him? There was his
jaw; .why didn't you swing on it? We
German fighters will have to make up
for your record. Papke is the greatest
of his Class -and I will surely beat the
negro." He meant Gans.
- Referee Ed Smith says that Hacken
schmidt at no time made any fecUira-tion-hat-'
oil was sed. -He did com
plain of gouging and Gotch soon stop
ped this of his own accord, after the
crowd began to hiss.
Hackenschmidt will return to Eng
land and then depart for Cairo and
Constantinople, where he will give pos
ing exhibitions.

Baltimore. April 8. "Silent" Charlie
Harvey, of New York, who is looking

Johnny Summers,, the famous pair of
English boxers, has accepted the offer
of Manager Al Herford, of the Eureka
Athletic club; of a purse of $5,000 for
a matcn - in this city between Moran
and Abe Attell, of San Francisco.
Harvey called up Herford over the
long distance telephone and stated
that if Herford would put up that
much money he would sign articles at
onoe in txmair or Moran if Attell was
satisfied.
When Harvey advised the local box
Ing promoter that he was willing . to
let Moran tight for that amount. Her
ford lost no time in getting in touch
with Attell. Attell is now In Califor
nia, where he recently boxed Battling
Nelson xt tiara rounds to a draw. Her
ford does not think that he will have
any trouble in getting Attell into line.
as Attell has been decidedly .anxious
to get another mill with Moran, whom
he boxed 25 fast rounds to a draw not
long ago.
The bout was to have been for the
world's featherweight title,-but as a
draw was awarded, Moran still retains
the title as the champion of England
and Attell as the champion of Amer
icans.

Josh Clark to Tup Off the Naps Bat
ting Order This Sprinjr.
New Orleans, April 8. Josh Clarke
has been keeping up his reputation as
a good waiter. The toutfielder's fine
Judgment on .pitched balls makes, him
a good man to top off 'the batting or
der and he will be kept at that bat
ting position as long as he can fill the
bill.
In 13 games played this spring Josh
has gone to the plate 59 times. He
has drawn 17 free passes to first, more
than any other player on the club, and
an average of over one pass a game.
Josh has been walked one or - more
times in every game this spring with
the exception of three, and two of
these three were six inning affairs. In
one game at Macon Josh went to the
plate seven times and was passed five
times, being credited with only two
times at bat;
McFAKLANP THE FAVORITE. .
The Chicago Boy Is Opened at 9 to 10
. In Frisco Pool Rooms.
' San Francisco, April 8. Packie Mc
Farland has been made favorite in the
first official betting on his go with
Brltt next Saturday. Tom Corbett hung
up 9 to 10 against the Chicago man
and even money against Britt, and the
same prices were laid in the pool rooms
near -Colma.
It is believed that these odds will
fluctuate somewhat, as the percentage
in favor of rhe books is usually much
greater on the coast. It is chiefly the
fact that conditions are regaraea as
greatly favoring McFarland that he
has been made the choice, as Britt is
said to be in good trim.
McFarland has been working dlli
gently with Pat Keneally and there will
be no question as to his making the
weight. Britt, on the other hand, is
said to be still above the figure. The
15 round route is taken as favoring
McFarland, because it is thought that
he is clever enough to stay away from
Britt for 15 rounds in case the coast
boy seems to have the edge at first.

niSSICU YEARS
John Hogan of Learenworth Is
Finally Located;'
Wandered Away While Suffer
ing From' Insanity. :
IS FOUND IN ARIZONA.
Notifies Members of His Lodge
of Present Existence.
Son Who Was In the Army Once
Saw Him in Frisco.
Leavenworth, April 8. Three years
ago John Hogan, at that time an en
gineer at the Home coal mine, dis
appeared.' He was believed drowned
and a long - 'search was made
for him. ' He was later located in a
hospital In Kansas City, Mo., where he
had wandered ' while his mind was
deranged. He returned home, was
apparently cured ' and returned to
work. Shortly- - thereafter be again
disappeared. Mrs, Hogan awakened
one morning to .find her -husband
missing, and from that time on an
untiring - search, haa been made for
him by the Knights, of Pythias
throughout the western country.
Yesterday, word was received by J,
tn. itooinson, master or nnance, ivan
hoe lodge No. 14, Knights of Pythias,
that a man named Hogan, who said
he was a member of Ivanhoe lodge,
had called upon members of the or
der at Solomonvlne, Arizona territory,
and stated that he -was from Leaven
worth. The Arizona Pythian was im
mediately notified to look out for the
brother, and Mr. Hogan's daughter,
Mrs. Sloan, who now lives on the
Stone farm, ' notified. She in turn
telephoned to Mrs. Hogan, . who Is
now' living at Fort ; Riley, Kan., . with
a son, who is In the army. It is
thought It will be but a few days be
fore husband and .wife are again re
united
r The wanderings "of ' John Hogan
have had in theni tne spice of ro
mance. For some time after he left
Leavenworth he was believed dead,
His disappearance was noted In the
Pythian papers and search made 'for
him, but without result. The day be'
fore the earthquake, in San' Francisco
I Presidio, near San; Francisco, met his
father upon the streets ot 'Frisco ana
had a long talk with him. The son
had to return to his quarters . that
night, but made an appointment with
the father to meet him the next day.
That night was the earthquake and
John Hogan was not again heard of
until yesterday.
The son believed his father had
been killed in ; some building - or
burned to death In the big fire that
followed, . put" Mrs. Hogah did " not
lose hope. "! The Pythians had estab
lished a registering offlee' in 'Frisco,
where all brother were equested to
call and reglsterIR order ,tat their
rrienrts in otner- portions- or -- me
country, who inquired for them, could
be notified of rtheflf 'being m the land
of the livingt-" But- John Hogah ' did
not call, . and it iwas thought -after
that he .surely had met his-. death.
When the letter from Solomon
ville. Ariz., was,- received -by - Mr.
Robinson he was elated to think that
h Mr. Hogan had been found, and after
notifying the relatives hurried to
answer. It is probable Mr. Hogan'a
mind is now clear-, since he remem
bered the number of the lodge he be
longed to here, and the probabilities
are that he will ' return to Leaven
worth.
John Hogan was one of the best
known stationary ; engineers in this
portion of the country at the' time he
disappeared and his case has been the
subject of many a discussion
i John T. Hogan, the son of the man
who disappeared, ' came here yester
day from Junction City, Kan'., upon
receipt of a telegram from his sister,
Mrs. Walter Sloane. who lives three
miles ' southwest of town, conveying
the intelligence of his father' loca
tion. . Hogan- will return to Junction
Citv tomorrow and thence to Arizona.
Hogan lived In Leavenworth until
a short time ago, when he and his
mother moved to Junction City. He
is convinced that his father will re
turn with him.
