Nelson 'Minneapolis Heavyweight Grappler Finally Tires of Taunts of Westerner, Finish Contest Will Be Staged Tomorrow Night-Sport Gossip. By Frank E. Force. After quite a lengthy battle of words Hearn Ordeman and Julius Nelson, heavyweight wrestlers of this city, got Rogether yesterday afternoon and signed articles to wrestle to finish at the Gayety tomorrow night. Ordeman, challenged by Nelson, had really wanted more time in which to condition himself, but finally agreed to get onto the mat for a finish contest with the big fellow who recently came from Montana.

Nelson has been doing more or less wrestling around this section durAng the past few months and sprang into prominence the other night when he slammed Ordeman about the mat in a handicap affair at that theater. Ordeman had agreed to throw five men in a 45-minute period and when he had disposed of four had slightly over 13 minutes left for his last opponent. This proved to be Nelson, who hopped to the big Norsk in great style and not only succeeded in evading a fall, but on top of this, made Ordeman hustle some on the defensive. The match tomorrow night will be for blood 36 Ordeman is a trifle peeved over the things Nelson has been saying about him and the contest should be fast and exciting from start to finish. The local Norsk, naturally, is a big favorite for the match and should win, although Nelson apparently is full of confidence and thinks he has an even chance of winning.

The visitor is a big fellow who weighs over 200 and has done considerable wrestling in the western country, but has not had as much experience as Ordeman. Zbyszko Gets a Bump. Wrestling fans around Chicago are still wondering just how Le Marin, one of the big foreigners now appearing 10 this country, happened to get a fall on Zoyszko in their handicap match the other night in the Windy City. Le Marin is a fair wrestler great strength, but he is not to be considered in a match with the hustling Pole. Zhyszko probably was a trifle careJess and permitted his opponent to get a bold that was just a little bit too tough to break.

Perhaps the Pole was kidding the Frenebman, and he WAS there will be something doing if the pair get together again. The fall on Zbyszko was interesting through the fact that it was the first fall gained on the Pole since Gotch tossed him in Chicago. Plenty of Baseball. Minneapolis fans are to get 60106 early baseball this year, for the MilJers open at home with Indianapolis on April 10, and from that time on the city will get plenty of the national sport. Columbus, Toledo and Louisville follow the Indians for the first swing here and then the Cantillon club will leave for a trip around the circuit, returning in plenty of time for the doubleheader with St.

Paul on morial day. Just the moment the 88- sociation club takes to the road on April 26 the Minneapolis Northern league aggregation will move in for its frat home series and will continue here until forced to the road again by the home-coming of the Millers. Thus the association and Northern league clubs will change about all season long throughout and baceball business will hum the summer. Mike Cantillon, who 18 conducting the affairs of the MinneapoJis Northern league team, is authority for the statement that a likely looking bunch of voungsters has been signed for his club expecta to be 8.8 much in the chase in that league as does his brother, Joe Cantillon, 01L the association circuit. Thorpe May Develop.

Manager MeGraw of the New York National league club undoubtedly had an eve to advertising when he signed Jim Thorpe, the Olympic wonder, and he has certainly been getting plenty of publicity for his club since the famous Indian put name to a contract. But now that training days are hand the Giant manager evidently has forgotten the advertising end of the game and is hard at work doing best to make a real big league player bout of this same Thorpe. The former football supposedly was not much of performer on the diamond, but now he seems to be in earnest about learning the inside of baseball and working hard with the Giant down in Texas. Favorable reports are coming up about him, too, and it would be fine, indeed, if he should develop into a player of real caliber.

New York, Feb. 27-From the wording a statement issued after a meeting yesterday of the stewards of the Jockey club and officials of several racing associations the impression prevails among racing men that the powors that govern horse racing in this vicinity, have about decided to open some of the metropolitan tracks during the coming season.

The way is held to have been paved for such action by recent court decision holding oral betting not unlawful, thereby exempting directors of racing associations from liability for betting in this form. The view taken by those interested was that at conclusion of racing in Virginia and Maryland, about May 20, some of the New York associations would reopen their (racks and hold meetings under licenses from the state racing commission with the approval of the Jockey club. lowa Athlete a Star Zegler, Rhoades Scholar, Wins Honors in Oxford Meet.

Paul Lot series of I Will Tote Off Many Local Players Manager of Racine Club Makes Cleaning in Local Semipro Ranks. Gossip of University Athletics and Pertinent Sport Dope. By Dick Parrington. Bill Fox, who makes Minneapolis his home in the winter, has made 8 grand cleaning in the Minneapolis semi-professional baseball ranks. Fox is manager of the Racine, club of the Wisconsin-Illinois leegue and during his sojourn here in the winter generally manages to get the signature of many promising local players to a contract.

So far the former Miller captain has been very ful in his quest of new blood. He has signed four or Ave Minneapolis boys and has his peepers on several other: who will undoubtedly be given a tryout with the Racine team. Culverson, Lefty Kuehn, Jack Doyle, Billy Evans and Fred Wines have all been grabbed by the Racine pilot and this quintet is expected to add strength to Fox's aggregation which came in a strong second last season, Culverson is an outflelder who has played with several corner lot teams, while Kuehn is an East side boy whose pitching attracted considerable attention hereabouts in 1912. Kuehn twirled for the East Side Merchants most of the year and acquitted himself like a professional. Doyle in New York.

Jack Doyle is the boy with pugilistie proclivities, now in New York. He generally plays the outfield and has performed on some of the best semiteams in the state. Billy Evans pro 18 a St. Paul youth who 19 said to possess the makings of a successful pitcher and Fox will give him a tryout. Fred Wines is probably the beat known of the contingent which will go to the Badger city, He is a former University of Minnesota star and has been playing on different semi-pro clubs for several seasons.

Last summer he cast his lot with the champion Alexandria club, joining Owatonna after Zalusky's team disbanded. He is one of the most dependable little third sackers turned out in Minneapolis for some time. There is hardly any question about his making good 85 several big league scouts were on his trail last summer, Fox beat them all to it, however, and will pay him a nice, salary. Breckenridge is another local boy who will again be with Racine. He played with the club last year and was wanted by St.

Louis, but the chances are he will remain with the Wisconsin-Illinois league club. Wilkie Ready for Season. Gus Wilkie, a baseball player in the summer and bowler in the winter, will join the Madison club of the W. and I. league.

Wilkie caught for the shall, club last year and was signed a month or 60 ago. He is 8 steady fellow who can hit the ball and will undoubtedly make the grade on the high gear. Harry Bay is the new manager of the club. Mike Breyette of Minneapolis was mentioned as the 1913 leader, but the veteran got the job. Mike was given a fancy increase in salary, however.

Walsh to Waterbury. Walter Walsh, the local catcher, who was with the Toledo Mud Hens last season will play for Waterbury, club of the State league this year. Walsh is still a youngster, class back- and has developed into a first stopper. University Gossip. Baseball practice goes merrily along at the armory with Denny Sullivan watching the candidates very attentatively.

The batting cage is pulled into play when every hitting practice 18 ordered and Sully is teaching the boys some of the points of biffing the pellet. Denny has never been a slouch at the bat and knows how to show the fellows to hit. The prospects are good for 8 winner at the university this year. Members of the athletic board of trol expressed a willingness to provide an eastern trip for the tennis team of this vear if the standard of playing is found to be such as will warrant a trip. If material is developed of the equal or better ability than last year, men making the team will undoubtedly represent Minnesota in the eastern tournament this spring.

Score Sheets Were Mislaid Report of Trask-Smith Match Not Made Because Alley Attendant Blundered. President William Fust of the Straightaway Bowling league into bas the made loss a thorough investigation of the scores rolled Monday night in the regular league match between the Trask and Smith teams. The official sheet was not, mutiliated, but had been extracted from the book by alley employe and put away for the official average man. The use fault, such as it was, lay business in the fact fill that no one made it his to out the press stub and blank sheets were submitted for publication, which gave rise to the rumors that low scores and loss of games resulted peevishness and a disposition to discard the night's scores. The match resulted in a two-one vicfor the Smith team, the Trasks tory taking the second game.

A8 a result of this mixup President Fust will probably call meeting of all captains in the immediate future for the purpose of ity in impressing having upon the score sheets properly them their responsibilAlled out after every match.

CLOWN OF BASEBALL WILL BE WITH WASHINGTON AGAIN THIS SEASON Nick Altrock, some Jester, sweet anger and comique of the diamond will be the big show again this season. Nicodemus has been re-engaged by the WashingNationals as co-comedy man with Germany Schaffer and the former star of the Chicago White Sox is sure of a job for another year.

Nicholas twirled for the Minne apolis club after making his 8.8- cent from the majors and remained with Joe Cantilion until he outlived his usefulness as a pitcher. was then declared free agent by the ever considerate Cantillon and joined the Kansas City club. The beauty twirled and entertained on the Kaw for about a season when he was set adrift. Jimmy McAleer was then manager of the Washington team and he immediately signed Nick to do half of the daily travesty with Schaffer. The German made a great hit with his antics last seasON.

Altrock hag been one of the most attractive figures in baseball for many seasons. He virtually won a world's championship for Comiskey and during his regime in the Association pitched some fine ball. He has the finest repertoire of baseball capers of any man in the country today. Minneapolis fans undoubtedly are glad to hear that he has a job for this season.
