BETS CALLED OFF IN SIG MAT MATCH Winners Angry Because Wagers Not Paid in Hack-Gotch Fiasco. Chicago. September B?Calling oft all bets on the Gotch-Hackenschmldt wrestling match yesterday has raised, n storm of protests by those who had money up on the winner. Herman F. Sehuetllor, aasl?tantl chief of police, last night explained the action by saying that such pro-, ceduro Is customary. An added rea-] son, he said, Is that the police are de- j termlnod to stamp out gambling In the city. "Referee Smith." Chief Schuettler explained, "proposed that the bets be 'ailed off. His reason was that In case the match turned out to be a poor one, as It did, thuro would be a tremendous: 'squawk' from the bettors, and the I wrestling game would receive a aorl- | ous setback In Chicago. You under-1 stand. It Is quite customary to call ! beta off In events of this kind. It has I little effect, as the bettors will back their opinions regardless of the an? nouncement. "One more fiasco like this and wrest? ling Is a dead card in Chicago." FEATURE EVENT Hartford.

GRIFFIN BELIEVES COLTS WILL WIN OUT Has No Doubt Bat That Locals Can Best Goobers in Post-Season Inter-(_ ity Series Which Begins Here To-Morrow Afternoon at Usual Hour. stove Grimn, who will pilot the Colts when they .nart to stampede the Coobera In the Intercity series which begin:; to-morrow afternoon at the usual hour, In the local lot, stated last night that he based his calcula? tions that Richmond would win over the Cockade cavalcade on the result ot all the games played between Rich? mond and Petersburg during the sea? son. "it's just this way," opined Steve? dore, "we have played Ensch and his crowd exactly twenty-eight games up to date, of wTrfeh we had the misfor? tune to lose fifteen. To offset this we have thirteen to the merry, leaving a a.ight balance of two on the wrong side of the ledger. "Sow, I figure this advantage In favor of the challenged parties to have been gained when the Colts were In that awful slump Just a short while ago. All the fans will remember that wnen the fellows had their dofters down, an old club, even Petersburg, could beat them. It's different now, entirely different. We have confidence and we have ablHty, which properly construed, means that wo aro going to win the series." Of course, that's merely Steve's opinion. Joe Laughlln, post-season manager of the Goobers, has Just the opposite view. He can't sec how Grlftln flugures that he> got a chance. "Why just look here," shouted Joo, "ain't we got a club of pennant win I ners? What's any club got on usV Why, do you think I would have ac , cepted a challenge it 1 didn't know 1 had the belt team? It ain't the money we're after. \Ve Just want to make Grltiln quit beefing about what he can do. And we're going to do it." 1 And so the talk goes on. But the fraternity of fans here and In Peters? burg will have a chance to watch the rtght when It begins to-morrow. There will ho no quarter asked and none will be given. It la going to be a battle to the finish, and whichever j way victory happens to go, the vet? erans will carry home many scars, j A large crowd of fans from Peters i burg is coming over To help Laughlln and his band. Over In Gooberville I they have badges which carry this In I Bcriptlon, "Petersburg, "pennant wln I ner 1911.

Tho above schedule sets forth the engagements of the Virginia Polytech? nic Institute on the gridiron during the season of 1911. Although the schedule for this fall has undergone some changes, It will require only a glance to see that It Is up to the high standard sot In previous"years. V. P. I. having had the honor for several sea? sons of playing the hardest schedule of any Southern Institution. Of the nine games Included In the 1911 schedule, five are with teams played last season. The Navy, East? ern College. Maryvlllo and George Washington University, however, have been replaced by Yale, University of Maryland. Morris Harvey College and the University of Tennessee. In being able to plaoe Yale on the 1911 sched? ule, V. P. I. has accomplished some? thing that has been sought by a num? ber of the leading Institutions of the Bouth for many years. The Yals game will be looked forward to as the great I gridiron battle between the North and the South, and the result of this battle on October 1* will be awaited with . muoh Interest by pigskin followers throughout the country. Tho regular game with Washington . ind Lee University on October 28, In ' rloanokc, promises to arouse greater interest this yoar than ever before. ; Both Washington and Lee and V. P. I. j have a host of alumni and friends In ' the city, who are alwayB loyal ta their respective colors, and tho fact that ; tho prospecte tor a winning team are unusually bright at W. and L. this fall will create unusual interest In the contest on October 28. Another regular game on this year's schedule that will arouso much In :erest is tho game with the University of North Carolina, one of the Techs' highly esteemed rivals. This will be duo In a great measure to the fact that Branch Bocock, for the past two /ears coach of tho Techs, will direct the movements of the Tarheels against the team that he piloted last season. It was under his coaching that V. P. I. carried off the championship honors of the South in 1909. and what he ?will do this season In the lind of tho pine will be watched with Intense Interest. However. It Is probably the last game on the schedule that will arouse the greatest Interest In the football world. The game with A. and M. In Norfolk Thanksgiving Day has, for the past two seasons, bcon the biggest football event In the South on that date, and probably no year has the enthusiasm and Interest been so lntenso aa it will be November 80 this fall. This will be the deol41ng game of a aeries of three. V. P. L having won in 1909 to the tune of 18 to 6 and A. and It -corn? ing back In 1910 and taking the game Mo 8.

Tho Shoe? makers havo Uckeor the Colts thir? teen times, while the best the Colts could get from the Hlllmen were eight encounters. The Colts split even with Norfolk, each getting twelve, and the locals had the same luck with the Tigers, at nine and nine. Danville is the one club which Richmond licked, fourteen wins counting against twelve to the bad for the Rod Sox Lynchburg has suffered horribly at the hands of Roanoke. losing twenty two as against ten in the won. column. Poor Danville has gone up Against the Tars twenty-eight times and has come off second best eighteen tlm??s. The champion Octobers have earned the championship, for they have won the series from every team in the league, the scores being: With Rich? mond fifteen to thirteen, and one to play; with Norfolk, twelve to eleven; with Danville, twelve to nine; with Roanoke, flfteer "to eight, and with Lynchburg, thirteen to ten.

Madison Square Garden, Now York, September 5.?Sam Langtord won his ten-round bout with Joe Jeanette in the Mad son Square Garden to-night, but every minute of the thirty In which blows were exchanged, the Bortun man knew he had a .stiff problem to solve. Jeanette fought gamely an i cleverly. The Hoboken negro was :;t no time afraid of the Boston terror, und frequently sent back better than he got. It was ,i gruelling mill from start to finish, and while It was fust and rlever, the bout was somewhat of a disappointment to the followers of pu? gilism.
