*
[Special to the Newark Star.]
BALTIMORE, Sept. 5.—How to beat
Baltimore Is the big problem with
which Joe McGlnnity Is now wrest
c ling, and has been all season. Not
even Frank Gotch would be of any
help, however. In pinning down the
Oriole jinx, for the Orioles have done
more this season than any other team
in the league to keep down the Tigers
la the lower realms of the second dl
' vision.
The Bengals and Birds have battled
eighteen times this season, and the
Dunnites have been bested by the Jun
gleltes only twice.
The Tigers fought hard In both of
yesterday’s gantes. but they never even
had the distinction of leading the
flock in one of the eighteen rounds.
Several times they tied both games,
especially the first affair, fftit when It
came to setting the pace they simply
' could not pass the enemy.
The Orioles in the first contest
showed how well they are equipped
with wings, three Tigers being vlo
tims of great throws from the outfield
to tlie liases and the plate. Bill Bailey,
fr,i instance, made eleven home runs
, in the Tri-State last year, and as many
le. the O. & P. League the season be
fore. This year he has never been able
to produce a wallop valued at more
than three sacks. Twice yesterday he
made long hits and tried to score. Bill
is mercury on the paths, but each
t me accurate throws nipped him near
, the plate ill his laudable effort. "With
Corcoran In the outfield the Orioles
1 oust a nimble trio of secondary de
ft use men. Walsh Is always reliable
and a good thrower. Henline plays a
good game at centre and made throe
very pert pegs yesterday. Corcoran
was always ambitious to become an
outfielder, even though ho was a good
third sucker. He misjudged several
flies yesterday, but each time made
a sensational leaping catch. One of
hlu spears on Louden was especially
brilliant, and Bill would have boasted
a triple with his homer, two doubles
and two singles had the ball evaded
Mickey.
When the Tigers started to tickle
Sam Frock, Johnny Dunn yanked him
out and Doc Adkins held the Bengals
the rest of the game. Loose hase
rnnnlng and careless pegging by Cady
' gave the flock the first game. In the
eighth the Birds bunched a couple of
singles and sewed up the game.
Bob Holmes was sent In for the sec
' ond time in three days, and when he
showed signs of weakening he was
benched and Shontz went In. and the
Orioles feasted on his offerings and
made seven runs In two innings. Rube
Vickers was seldom in danger. Lou
den’s batting was the redeeming fea
ture of the Bengals’ work.

JACKIE CLARKE
WINS QUARTER,
—
Frank Cavanagh Hero of Ama
teurs—Kramer, Fogler and
Fenn Are Easily Better Than
Clarke, Goullet and Hehir.
After Quarter Jackie Com
plains of Illness.
Jackie Clarke, unassisted, won the i
quarter-mile national championship
event at the Velodrome yesterday, |
again coming within hailing distance !
of the leader, Frank Kramer. The
race for teams representing America
and Australia was won by the Ameri- i
can team In two straight heats. Frank
Cavanagh was the hero of the ama
teurs. The championship event was a
fast and classy one. The trial heats
reduced the large field down to Kra
mer, Goullet, Clarke and Fogler. As!
usual, at the start of the event Kra- I
mer delayed the event till his puncture
was fixed. At the crack of the pistol
Gouliet and Clarke were first to get
away, while Fogler and Kramer had a
hard time starting. Fogler got started
ahead of the champ, leaving him ten
yards to the bad. Coming around In
front of the judges' stand Goullet tore
ahead and It looked as though Kramer
would not have a look in. Goullet
looked back, but Clarke would not be
hoodwinked and kept on agoing. At
top speed they all tore around the
track, Clarke taking the lead. Kra
mer, although he had a very poor
start, was making up ground and gain
ing. His efforts were futile, for he
was unable to get up to Clarke and
Fogler. who took no chances at wait
ing. The best Kramer got was third,
and it Is the opinion of many that had
Goullet gone all the way the champ
would have been compelled to finish
last. It did look peculiar to see Kra
mer beat Goullet out by almost twenty
yards.
The match race for Australia and
America was productive of strategy.
Kramer, Fogler and Fenn wore easily
better than Clarke, Goullet and Hehir.
The race was at one mile. At the
start Fenn shot to the front, followed
by Fogler and Kramer, while Hehir
was followed by Goullet and Clarke.
The first trip around the saucer was
very slow ®jtd each team was feeling
the other out. On the second lap each
started to hit it up. Coming around
for the third trip Hehir shot down
from the bank, but was quickly fol
lowed by Fenn, each carrying their
train. Around the track they tore
when both leaders dropped out. Goul
let and Fogler then took up the work
and left the two speed merchants fight
it out, to the tape. It was a pretty
sight and Kramer just nosed out Clarke
at the black line. The second heat Xvas
run in a similar manner, only the
Australian elected Goullet to do the
final sprint. Things went wrong, and,
Instead, Clarke was compelled to get
into the final argument. He did well
under the circumstances, but was com
pelled to trail Kramer the entire last
lap. After the quarter-mile event
Clarke complained of being sick and
his riding showed It. He was game,
however, and tried to do his best,
something that several of the other
riders failed to do. Goullet tried hard
to make a race of the affair, but his
work in the second heat took much of
his speed away when he essayed to do
the pace-making and enter Into the
final sprint.
Thomas Grimm, with a liberal handi
cap of 40 yards, had no difficulty in
romping home a winner in the half
mile amateur event. Frank Cavanagh,
on the mark of honor, with a burst of
speed, was second. That he should
have won the race goes without say
ing, but somehow when he strikes the
“bunch” on the stretch he gets faint
hearted and fails to come around.
When he overcomes this he will win
many more events. At the pistol the
boys were away like a shot, and Cav
anagh had the first bunch, but un
fortunately Paul Heidrieh got a bad
spill, putting him out of the running.
The time, 57 1-5 seconds, was good.
The two-mile Invitation for the
money-chasers was replete with
"thrillers.'' Chris Scheller took a tum
ble and Freddie Jones rode into him,
but was up in time to get into the run
ning, for the boys were off to a rolling
start. William Morton got a lead of
fifty yards, but tired, while Walter
De Mara kicked oft his pedal. Peter
Drobach took the lead at the Hell lap
and was iievej- headed.
Frank Cavanagh was himself in the
two-mile open for amateurs and won.
Chester Smith who was second, was
disqualified for rough riding, Alvin
Loftus thereby getting second place.
The pace was hot throughout and the
last two laps were reeled off in jig
time. Loftus pulled out and was fight
ing it down with Cavanaugh when
Smith got in his rough work. Carl
Erlcson received a bad fall when he
tumbled over Gus Wohlrab, and had
to be assisted from the track.

GAMS RAVE AT
“ALL BETS OFF”
AS GOTCH WINS
Referee Ed Smith Says He
Feared Squawk from Bettors.
Match a Fiasco, While Pro
moters Reek With Money.
Game May Be Killed in Chi
cago.
CHICAGO, Sept. 5—Calling oft of all
bets on the Gotch-Hackenschmtdt
wrestling match yesterday has raised
a storm of protests by those who had
money upon the winner.
Herman F. Schuettler, assistant chief
of police, last night explained the ac
tion by saying that such procedure Is
customary. An added reason, he said,
is that the police are determined to
stamp out gambling In the city.
"Referee Smith," Chief Schuettler ex
plained, "proposed that the beta be
called off. His reason was that In
case the match turned out to he a poor
one, as it did, there would be a tre
mendous 'squawk’ from the bettors,
and that the wrestling game would re
c.ive a serious setback in Chicago.
“Sou understand it is quite cus-;
tomary to call bets off in events tif
this kind. It has little effect, as the
bettors will back their opinions re
gardless of the announcement.
“One more fiasco like this and wrest
ling is a dead card in Chicago.
"It is a shame,” the assistant chief
continued, "to bring a crowd like this
together and Bend them home with
this memory of ‘the world’s greatest
wrestling match.’
"I am a devotee of wrestling. No one
likes better than I do to see two men,
evenly matched, battling for a big
title.
"It isn't right to put up a match of
this kind. Wrestling is a good sport.
It can he made crooked, Hite any other
sport, but honestly conducted it is a
splendid recreation.
"I do not think this match was
crooked. But it was a fiasco. Why?
Because i..e men were not evenly
matched.
"Because one man wasn't up to
standing the gaff this crowd paid over
*100,000 to see twenty minutes of in
different sport. The next big match, If
there is one, must be preceded by a
guarantee arranged so that the public
can be satisfied there will be a real
contest. Otherwise, wrestling will be,
as I have said, a dead card In Chi
cago."
Ticket-scalpers selling seats for the
Gotch-Hackenschmidt wrestling bout
reaped one of the largest harvests
ever recorded for a sitnlar event in
this city, according to the venders
themselves. Business was exception
ally good, especially In the three days
before the match, but the outlook was
really gloomy before that time. It was
not until the out-of-town spectators
arrived that the real sale b%gan.
Tickets selling originally for *10 went
to *15, while a few of the choice ones
were sold from *17 to *20. The *5 seats
were sold for *7.50 up to *9, and the *3
tickets brought an advance of 2. It
is estimated that 2,000 tickets were dis
posed of by the scalpers.
The announcement that Frank Gotch
had - on his second victory from
George Hackenschmidt at Chicago was
the signal for the most enthusiastic
demonstration Humboldt, la., has
witnessed In many years. Fast night
the "home folks" were informally cele
brating the event, and it is doubtful
If there is a single farmhouse within
a radius of fifty miles to which the
news has not traveled. ,
Friends and neighbors of Gotch
gathered at the postoffice early in the
afternoon, where wire arrangements
for receiving neivs of the bout had
been made. It was not long before the
crowd completely filled the small lobby
of the building and had overflowed into
the street. But the announcement that
the contest had ended came so sud
denly that for a moment it seemed to
stun the crowd.
And so when the flash "Gotch wins"
came in less than twenty minutes, the
crowd gasped, and then, as the full
significance of the message disclosed
itself, there was a yell of delight. For
fully twenty minutes more there was
wild cheering. Plans already are
under way for a rousing reception to
Gotch upon his return.
MAIN LEAF WINS.
The black colt Main Reaf, by Main
sheet, 2:05. defeated the sensational
Miss Stokes in tile 3-year-oid division
of the Western Horsemen's futurity at
Indianapolis yesterday. Miss Stokes
won the first heat in 2:11 and Main
Reaf came back at her In 2:09% and
2:U9%. Miss DeForrest defeated Fleeta
Amerlcus, the favorite in the jjaolng
division of the same slake; best tltne,
2:07%. Bir.vola won the 2:09 trot. After
dropping the second heat to Maud
Right, the son of Bingara took a new
record of 2:07% in the opening heat.
In all probability the most-lalked-of
horse In the world today Is the peer
less black trotting gelding llhlan.
owned by Mr. C. K. G. BUJlngs,
of New York. It seems almost un
called-for to say anything about the
king of trotters at this time, for his
deedB and his achievements are house
hold words wherever equine speed is
known or prized. The gap that sepa
rates him from all others of his gait
is so wide that It is a case of “Eclipse
first, the rest nowhere.” He is not
only a speed marvel, but a giant In
strength and a lion In courage and
wearing power. While Uhlan has
been making harness horse history his
brilliant performances have in a meas
ure overshadowed the greatness of
both his sire, Bingen, 2:0614, and his
dam, Blonde, by Sir Walter, Jr., both
of which are owned at William Brad
ley’s Ardmaer farm at Raritan. These
two horses have been at Ardmaer for
two years and it Is indeed doubtful
whether a score of local enthusiasts
have ever looked upon them. Bingen
Is perhaps the founder of the greatest
family of trotters that ever lived and
while he is a horse of tremendous sub
stance there Is much about him that
does not please critical horsemen. He
lacks finish In more ways than one
and his get as a rule arc not hand
some horses.. He does, however, get--'
extreme and uniform speed of early |
maturity and his blood breeds on and j
produces race-horse trotters of the j
highest# order. That Bingen begets j
high-class horses from only fair mares |
Is evidenced by the performances of
Uhlan, whose dam, Blonde, is neither
a well-bred mare nor a good individual. '
She is a chestnut mare standing about
15.2 liands tall, and were she led Into
an auction ring where no one knew
her her price would be not more than
$50. Htr conformation is absolutely
poor and It is Indeed doubtful whether
she will produce another foal that will
in nny way compare with Uhlan. An
own sister to this remarkable horse
was worked some at Readvilie this
year and while she has about 2:10
speed I am told she is a pig.. Blonde
is at this time thought to be in foal to
the cover of Bingen and the produce
will of course be an own brother or
sister to Uhlan, yet very few horsemen
would give a big price for the pros
pective foal until it showed something
worth while. Ardmaer farm is open
to visitors the year round and a trip
to this plant, is well worth the while,
If for no other purpose than to see
Bingen and Blonde, sire and dam of
the greatest trotter than ever wore a
harness.

EASTERN LEAGUE NOTES
Bud Sharpe will shortly undergo an
operation. Local fans have always
held Bud highly and regret his ali
ment, which requires an operation.
Jake Gettman demonstrated that he
can cover first base just as easily as
he can eal ’em up In the outfield. He i
sure swatted the pill.
--O -
George Stallings is the biggest man
ager In the Eastern League In size,
but he was pretty small last night in
feeling when the Leafs put two over
on him,
Fitzpatrick, Bradley, Phelps and Jor
dan found the ball at the right time on
the Blsons’ pitchers.
Tesr^fc and Ru^tlph both had the
Herd guessing from the start and
were never In danger.
Providence played like league leaders
yesterdry and beat the Skeeters twice
.by the scores of 4 to I.
There will soon be a battle for last
place between tile Grays, Tigers and
Skeeters. if they continue to play in
nnd out ball.
Cozy Dolan hit the ball to the score- |
board In the morning game in the
second inning. Bill Sllne straightened
up after that and it was all off.
Jack Thoney did not play in the af
ternoon game, t'ljde Fullerton was
In centre.
-O—
It's no wonder Bolce couldn't win.
That bone bnse-runnlng of Collins,
Bailey, Cady and Agler was the limit.
-o
Why a player wants to score front
first on a single Is a mystery. Ty
Cobb Is the greatest everi but be
! doesn't attempt that stunt very often.
—-O
In both games the Bengals scored
ten runs and made eight errors. Cady
i made four of the eight.
^ Bill Louden had a harvest yesterday.
1 In all he had six hits, a homer, two
l doubles and the rest singles.

McConnell won his twenty-eighth
! game of the season for the Hustlers.
| He has only lost six.
AROUND THE SAUCER.
The championship table now reads
Kramer, 67 points; Clarke, 49.

Jackie Clarke was a very sick lad
yesterday, but be proved his gameness

peeved when he was humbled In the
championship race yesterday. "Mac”

The race of yesterday proves that
the professionals are afraid to get out.
They are always looking about for the
champ. Tf some had a hit more con

LANGFORD WILL !
MEET JEANNETTE!
FOR TEN ROONDSj
—
Best Scrap New York Has Seen
in Many a Day Scheduled for
Madison Square—Tar Baby
Confident He Will Knock Out
Hoboken Negro.
If .100 Jeanette and Sam Langford
put up as good a fight as in their last
meeting those who see the ten-round
bout in Madison Square Garden to
night will have no kick coming. The
pair of black gladiators have met six
times. The last clash was a furious
fifteen-round mill in Boston last Sep
tember. Langford won, but only after
one of the hardest fought battles ever
waged in the Hub. Joe took all the
punishment that Sam could deal out
and came back for more. Jeannette's
gaineness, coupled with his stamina
and recuperative ability, not only en
abled him to last the distance but also
to have Langford in danger in the
closing rounds.
Most of the experts, however, look
for Langford to win over Jeannette
by the knock-out route tonight. Sam
never was in such splendid condition
as he is said to be at present, and A\*1th
a bout in view with Johnson for the
world’s championship, Sant is taking
no chance of hurting his reputation
by a poor tight. He has polished off j
all his recent opponents with the punch
soporific, and though Jeanette is a
hard nut to crack Sam is confident of
forcing the referee to toll the count
over Jeanette tonight. Special precau
tions have been taken against the
repetition of the crowding that marked
the Wells-Brown fight. Two thousand
floor seats have been added, and the
promoters say every ticket holder will
be seated.

KETCHEL MOST
PRODIGAL BOXER;
DIED A PAUPER
Estate, Just Settled, Shows He
Left SI07, Proceeds of Sale
of Broken-Down Automobile.
“Money Just to Spend,” He
Said, as He Squandered It.
The estate of the late Stanley
Ketehel, one of the greatest lighters
who ever drew on a glove, has just
been settled. The final Inventory
ahows that, after all debts had been
paid, the heirs will receive $107, the
proceeds of the sale of a broken-down
automobile.—News item.
When Stanley Ketehel arrived in
San Francisco In the summer of 19 >7
Ills principal assets consisted of a
heart of oak. a terrific punch, a won
derful physique and a draw with Joe
Thomas, then regarded as the best man
of Ills weight in the country.
ICetchel stepped off the ferry with
out sufficient funds to buy "coffee
and." Before he came to San Francisco
he had engaged in numerous bush
fights, for which he received bush
purses. Therefore. Ketehel really egan
to ca: i the big money when he rtruck
California. The first turn of the wheel
of fortun was his fight in San Fran
cisco with Joe Thomas. The tvinning
of that desperate battle by Ketehel
opened tile financial flood-gates for
him, and when he fought his last battle
Ills fists had earned for him approxi
mately $103,500 in purses alone. What
lie won in bets is problematical, lint
it Is believed that the sum was suf
ficient to bring the grand ^total up to
$150,000. It Is known that he won an
unusually heavy bet on his "fight”
with Jack Johnson, the betting, of
course, being on the number of rounds.
What became of this fortune? Some
of It, about $20,000. went to fix up his
parents. The balance was thrown
away in riotous living, given to false
friends and burned up in automobiles.
At least $30,000 went In buzz wagons.
Probably $50,000 was squandered “along
the line," this sum including "touches”
running from $5 to $200. In a few in
dividual cases Ketehel is knowjt to
have passed out more than $200, being
| very well aware at the time that the
| money would never be returned.
When In San Francisco it was
Ketchel's custom to engage a suite at
the. swellest hotels. His apartments
invariably Included a buffet, which was
always stocked with the finest of wines.
A valet and chauffeur added to the
expense, but when Ketehel felt in
clined to put on a “dog,” he stopped at
nothing.
Shortly before the Reno fiasco
Ketehel was stopping at a fashionable
hotel In San Francisco—no top floor
room, the sort that Battling Nelson
generally took, but right on the second
floor—reception room, bedroom, private
"bawth" and buffet room. His bill
amounted to something like $75 a day,
not counting the wine he dispensed and
the wages of hts chauffeur and valet;
j also the nightly trips "down the line.”
! Wilson Mizner, who was then Ketchel's
i manager, was over in Reno at the time,
‘ and. hearing of his charge's extrava
1 gance, boarded the limited and rushed
to San Francisco.
"Great heavens, Steven,” he said,
"you’ll have to cut this out or you'll
go to the poorhouse.”
Ketehel put up the same old argu
ment about not being able to take
his money with him when he died,
but he finally acceded to MIzner's re
quest to live more modestly.
After his first defeat of Papke In
San Francisco he bought a $6,000 auto
mobile. said auto being able to travel
some, but by and by Stanley wanted
more speed, so he bought another ma
chine costing $7,500, put the old ma
chine in the garage and permitted the
; rental to eat It tip.
The night before Johnson and Jeffries
| met In Reno Ketehel was bucking the
tiger. He was extremely lucky and
when he quit he had a double handful
of gold pieces. Changing a number of
them into silver he went down to the
railroad tracks and scattered dollars
and half dollars among the scores of
bums hanging around there. About
midnight he secured about 100 Bilver
dollars and, stacking them up bis
arm, marched down the main street,
pretended to stumble and permitted
the coin to drop to the sidewalk. The
clatter awoke almost the entire town.
Scores rushed to aid Ketehel In pick
ing up the dollars, heads bobbed out
of windows, saloon doors were thrown
open and the gambling halls were de
serted. About $25 of the scattered coin
was found, but Ketehel considered
the joke worth $75.
Ketehel, without doubt, was the most
prodigal of all boxers, including John
I,. Sullivan, who never felt satisfied
until his last "bean” had been speflft.
Ketehel, however, had more money to
spend and got rid of It In more riot
ous fashion. "What's the use of keep
ing your money—you can't take It
with you." he was wont to say, and
that he lived up to his philosophy is
shown by the story the pitiful in
ventory of his estate tells.
