In he wrestling match at the skating rink last night Jordon Stoyawokk. the Bulgarian champion, failed to throw Frank C. Reed, known as Nebraska Kid. twice within 45 min utes as agreed.

J., in the 14th round of what was scheduled to be a 20-round light before the Pacific Athletic club at Vernon today. They fought at 122 pounds. Conley led throughout the battle, which was a slugging match from start to finish. Kline took a terrible beating on the body but with the ex ception of welts over hla kidneys he showed no marks of the battle. Conley'a face was bloody first, and he bled above the eyes In every- round. There was no knockdown until tha 14th when Kline sank to the floor,' more from the punishment he had as similated than from any one blow. He came up at the count of nine, but sank to the floor again under a half dozen blows and though conscious was too weak to rise before the tenth second. Conley will be matched with the win ner of the Rlvers-Kllbane fight acbeduled for Labor day. SS NIMBLE STEEDS IS DERBY Lake City Race Meet to Open tn 1 S Days- 600 Horses Coming. SPOKANE. Wash..'

RiV FKA;01SCO. Aug. 27. (Spe cial) Another fighter drifted out of can Francisco mis wa, uuuuu New York. Al Kaufman, the San Fran cisco heavyweight, was the chap who hla trunk and left for the East. thus still further depleting the ranks of available talent la the West. Kaur man waa" scheduled to sail for Aus tralia on the steamer September 6 to meet some of the best of thi heavy weights who still remain In tha Antip odes, tut ho got a hurry-up call from Billy Delaney that promised better re turns. So Albert, who figures that the Australian trip will keep, decided to go to New Tork and left 'Thursday. Delaney has wired Kaufman that he can get a ten-round go with Al Palzer, the New York white hope, who came to tha front by beating Jim Kennedy in nine rounds. .They think Falser Is the fair-haired boy In New York, and Kaufman.' If he wins, will be In line for other matches of more Im portance. Carl Morris, of Oklahoma, and Jim Flynn. who beat Kaufman 1 Kansas City, are also headed for New York, so there will be plenty of heavy weight talent. Kaufman haa been taking things very easy for several months. He has been living In San Francisco with his wife's people and has been doing just enough work to keep in trim. The news of his departure Is important in that It marks what Is practically a re conciliation between Delaney and Kaufman. When Kaufman made his last Eastern trip It was very much against the advice of Delaney. and when the California boy waa beaten by Flynn, the veteran trainer threw li. i.-.... in tha nlr and said he would have nothing more to do-with fight ers. Evidently, noweven wo""')' thought better of this rash statement, for it la wholly upon his advice that Kaufman will take the Eastern trip. Game to Be Quiet. For the present, at least, the game In California Is going to be decidedly quiet. This month's show, for exam ple, will be nothing startling. Matty Baldwin, the Boston lightweight, who lost tho decision to Freddie Welsh here, has returned for a bout with Willie Ritchie. August 31. Willie Ritchie ia a local boy. who has been trying for months to break Into the 20-round professional game. He Is a fairly clever chap, but lacking In a good punch, and Baldwin ought to have no great amount of trouble beat ing him. At that, Baldwin Is not the light weight that he was several years ago and hardly to be ranked with the top notchera. Ha fought Johnny McCarthy last week In Salt Lake City and the result was disappointing In that Bald win was expected to knock out Mc Carthy. McCarthy was allowed to fight at catchwelghts, which gave him a de cided advantage In the weight, as there was probably 17 pounds difference be tween the two men. The bout was called a draw, although Baldwin says the referee admitted that he won, but hesitated to give a decision since that match marked the opening of the game In Salt Lake, and the mag nates of boxing preferred to take no cnances In causing any trouble. Milton T. Clark, the promoter who has the September date, hasn't turned a wheel, and today he is as far from knowing what his match will be or whea the bout will "take place as he was six weeks ago. Admission Day, September 9, Is one of the big Cali fornia holidays, and a great time for a fight. But Clark hasn't made any connections with well-known boxers, and will either have to let the date slide or put on local men. Boxing Days Quiet South. He still thinks there Is a chance to Import Knockout Brown, of New York, but can't get the services of that light weight until the latter part of Septem ber. On the other hand, he hates to let go of the ninth of September. The chances are, therefore, that he will simply put on a local card of no great proportions and make what money he can. All of which means that for the time being California la out of the running as a center of boxing. From what I hear of the rulings of the New York Boxing Commission, the promoters of that state are not to have things all their own way. For in stance, the Commissioners insist hat promoters must show they have clubs that ljave been organised for at least a year before applring for permits. In addition, they are refused the right to hold fights in Madison Square Gar den, In. a ball park or in any open air arena. Further, the clubs must deposit with the Commission $10,000, which they stand to forfeit In case ot misbehavior. The ruling against open-air shows put the quietus on the plan to take moving pictures, and thereby knocks out a considerable profit that would have otherwise accrued to the pro moters. All In all. It looks as If the Commis sioners thoroughly understand the business and will keep such contests as are allowed as nearly as possible boxing contests rather than prize fights. Under auch conditions there Isn't go ing to be the big money in the game that has been expected, and some of the champions will probably be ready to turn to the West for their matches. The local promotera are taking the -matter philosophically. They say there Is no use bidding for fighters who have such exaggerated ideas of their worth, and that the only thing to do Is to wait for them to come down to earth. Battling Nelson may fight In Sacra mento Labor Day. He is angling for a match out thla way. and the ' Capitol City promoters are. talking or putting him on. Matty Baldwin and Frankle Burns, of Oakland, have been suggested as possible opponents for the Durable Dane. There ' Is no question but that such a match would attract consider able Interest, although It Is doubtful it It would draw many fans from San Francis'-' IliKIllliiiSiii j $ x' , " ft ,1V I - IV..; -Photo Copyright, 19 11, by American Press Association. GEORGE HACKEXSCHMIDT. ROLLER LIKES HACK Russian's Trainer Tells Why He Expects Victory. ENDURANCE CHIEF ASSET Seattleite Admits Champion From Hawkeye State Is Cleverest Man Who Ever Took to Mat, but Says He Will Fall Sow. CHICAGO, I1U Aug. 27. (Special.) "For tho first time- since I have re turned to this country I wish now to i.- - oHont GeorcB Hack- ma-ao ca dm -' enschmidt, whom I have In charge and who is to meet D'ranic wicu a"' " i .i lino- hnmnlonshiD in this woiauB r. - city in two weeks, and express my real opinion of this matcn. "Frank Gotch is the cleverest man that ever stepped upon a wrestling mat, but I feel absolutely certain that Hack enschmldt will defeat him by outfln lshlng him. The 'Lion's' tremendous strength and marvelous endurance will carry him through right in the face of the phenomenal cleverness, superla tive trickery and unlimited resourceful ness of the man from Iowa." rr" v.l ,V.a narjmnt made U V Df. .aula f u v B. F. Roller, pf Seattle, tne man wuu is in charge oi nacsenacummio . mA-ir fnw the hlar match with Frank Gotch at Comlskey Park in Chi cago on Labor day. The doctor, after the afternoons work was about to close, explained that be was getting bushels of mall matter from all over the country ask ing hla opinion about the match, his opinion of Hack's condition and other inr that line. He said he couldn't hope to answer one-third of the mall he was getting, and wished also. In behalf of HackenschmUlt him self, to answer all inquiries through the papers. Nothing to Conceal. "There Isn't a thing In the world that we have to conceal In any way," Roller said. "We are being asked some very pointed questions, but these wo would not answer under any circumstances. So now, if all of these people who are writing to us in good faith will accept an answer In this way wo are glad to give It to them. "All athletic experts who have seen Hackenschmidt since he landed in Chi cago agree that he Is In wonderful condition. He is. There isn't a doubt of It. He never was in such shape. Ask him about that if you doubt what I say. "Neither of us wishes 1n any way to belittle Gotch in the advance state ments. : Always I have freely admitted that Gotch Is the greatest catch-as-catch-can wrestler of any time, past or present. Hackenschmidt agrees with me In this. "But It isn't skill that will count to the utmost In this big encounter. There are Other points. Hackenschmidt has those other points in ;-reat plenty. He has the strength; that's true. Never have I taken hold of such a powerful man In my entire career. He has tha endurance. He will be able to wrestl aii aiternoon, ua a i mo buu ui . hours he will be going Just as well as ever. "Strength and stamina will count, al against Gotch's skill and knowledge ol the game. "I deny that Hackenschmidt Is not a game man. It Is true he gave up his match with Gotch before. But he wenl as far as he possibly could In his un trained and unprepared condition. Did not the match last over two hours and did not Hackenschmidt bear tha brunt of the work? Did he not prac tically carry Gotch's weight for thai length of tii.-e? Did he not force tha work at all times? If that is not game ness, I do not know what that quality In man amounts to. Recalls' Reno Fght. "They always said that Jack John son quit more than once. Did he quit at Reno when the supreme test of his life came? Not much. And Hacken schmidt won't chuck it up this time. There may be some chucking, but it won't be done by the Russian, you can gamble on that. "This Is all I care to say at this time, and replies, I believe, not only, to most of our correspondents, but to Gotch and his ill-advised and interm perrate remarks about me. It Is time to be dignified now. and I refuse to stoop to recrimination and personcll ties. There is too much serious busU ness on band Just now." DAXXY O'BRIEX EARXS DRAW Portland Pugilist Again Takes Even Honors With Rufo Turner. Danny O'Brien, Portland welter mitt, wielder, fought a four-round draw with Rufe Turner at Dreamland, San Fran cisco, Friday night and can now de mand the right to play for fancy prices. This is Danny's second draw with the negro and has shoved him to the front in sensational style. O'Brien is a good two-handed fight er, is clever and has a good head and takes excellent care of himself. Sam Crawford Remarkable Figure. DETROITjAug. 26. One of the moat remarkable figures in baseball this year is Sam Crawford, of tho Detroit Tigers. Much has been written about the veteran players, Jimmy Callahan, of Chicago. Earl Moore, of Philadel phia, and other "come back" stars, but little attention has been paid to Sam Crawford, Jenning's sterling outfielder. None deserve more praise that thp former barber of Wahoo, Neb. Today Crawford is rated the steadiest out fielder of any of the Detroit corps. His fielding has been bettered, due to tho use of more speed than Sam has shown in several years. This year he haa made catches that no one would think capable of making: In former years, t.'-. throwing also has been wonderful. Many Detroit fans say that he la tha best Tiger outfielder since Matty Mc Intyre's day. Heavy stlckwork and the ability to hit In the pinches have caused many pitchers to fear him. This year Crawford has made some of the longest drives In his career. Marked improvement In base running has also been noticed. His sliding has been a revelation to those who have followed his work from season to season. Grants Pass Moose Get Charter. MEDFORD, Or., Aug. 25. (Special).
