A LJ Li I 1 DAVE REGAN. AMATEUR REGATTA ROCKY WAS WON Title no Longer Draws SPORT COMMENTS RUSS FORD RETURNS TO BUF-FEDS IS IN FORM SUNDAY OT so long ago the prediction made that Frank Qotch, the retired champion wrestler of the world, would return-to the mat once again upon being offered sufficient inducements. farmer has the wrestling Dee it now develops that the Humboldt, mm purse nas oeen oiiered mm to meet a wresuer-piougnman irom Nebraska.

Goteh has been insisting right along that nothing in the world could induce him to return to his old game, because hevhad made a comfortable fortune, was tired of public life, and that his wife demanded he stay at home. I figured that in Joe Stecher, the ploughman, they had the future champion wrestler, of the world began to dangle choice sums under the nose of Air. Goteh. One association announced it would give a purse of a grappling match between Goteh and Stecher. Crack single sculler who will row against Louis Peterson and others la the.

Amateur Oarsm'en'a regatta Sunday afternoon. Goteh is reported to ha'e spurned the offer. We doubt it. Now the cat is out of the bag. Goteh says he will westle Stecher for the small sum of $35,000.

Modest chap 1 And modest demand I Goteh 'a bankroll must be getting thin or the alfalfa crop from the Iowa arm small. Inasmuch as Stecher has many admirers out wesi there 13 some possibility of the bout being staged on Labor day in Omaha. A word about this new wrestlino wonder. Thv mv ih-ravr Charley Cutler in twenty-eight minutes. He trains on farm work and not in the ordinary way of modern wrestlers.

He can hold an ordinary automobile from a standing position with a rope attached to one Whew! They claim he has a pressure of 1,800 pounds from knee to knee, when he uses what is known as the scissors. Whew again! If he is such a powerful chap as all this no wonder Goteh wants $35,000 to meet him, but who wouldn't wrestle an hour or two for this paltry sum! SAME OLD TALK. A certain chap who attended the Kansas-Wolgast light at the baseball park last night he was on a deadhead ticket loudly expressed his dissatisfaction at the fight. Insisting that Wolgast ought to be run out of town fdr not trying to defeat the Buffalo featherweight. The reply of one present was this: you see two of Wolgast's teeth go flying over the ring? Did you see his two eyes puffed and swollen?" The "dead head' chap simply tried to emphasize his skepticism with a sickly smile.

These are the chaps who always go away complaining. Wolgast did lose two teeth last I talked to him myself in his dressing' room-after the fight. His face was badly swollen and puffed. As a matter of fact Wolgast took' the bout too lightly. He figured Kansas would be scared to death by his reputation, but the little Italian, despite the fact that tii was outweighed by more than ten pound's, went to his task with grim determination to win or go down to defeat.

Of Course, the style of Wolgast's fighting is not the prettiest and much resembles a bulldog. simply boring in, but only Wolgast can be blamed for that. Kansas broke his left hand landing a hook on Wolgast's head. Rocky was fighting for somebody whom he did not now was in the grandstand watching him with shining- eyes and happy smile. ifr 3fr iff SHOOK HANDS.

Johnny Evers and Umpire Qulgley, who had a sweet little tilt "the other day, have shaken hands and become friends again. Qulgley was accused of having punched -the Trojan. Complaint was filed with President Tener of the National league by President Gaffney of the Boston Braves. Tener's investigation undoubtedly led to the patching Throng in Wake You don't see the public trailing In'' great throngs in the wake of the title holder nowadays, as it recalls- to your mind Gibson's famous drawing, "The Champion." Wa have bo longer that type of champion among us the leader today is nothing more or less than a "remittance man." -e-e- ESCHERICH IS AFTER CARSLAKE German Champion Will Try to Tae Measure of A us-tralian in Special Match Race. Brownie Carelake, the world's Australian motor-cycle champion, will be put to the severe test tomorrow night at the Velodrome, Military road and the city line, when he will match his speed and daring against Carl Escher ich, the champion of Germany.

They have been matched to ride three three-mile heats. Both have their machines tuned up to the highest pitch of speed. and Some wonderful riding is confidently expected to take place Sunday night. Escherich demonstrated last Sunday to local speed devotees that he is a riding demon. He and Carslake and Eddie Harmer were racing neck and neck in a special event when Cars- lake blew a tire and was out of the race.

Escherich immediately romped home an easy winner. The Australian chamnion insists that if he does not- meet with hard luck in the way of tire trouble he can take the measure of the German won der in short distance events. Both Hdars have many admirers who will turn out to see this extraordinary race on the steep banks of the 'drome. Starter Kreamer has arranged eight evfnts in all. The first on the pro gramme is a stwelve-mile open to be run in three four-mile heats.

Jack Harding, Don! Barclay. Lloyd Leonard. George Lochn.3r, Fred Luther and Jimmy Martison are entered in this event, which should be a corker. There are also motor-paced bleyclo races for the cream or Buffalo's amateur bicycle riders. The final event on the programme is the Bison City handicap race at ten Escherich and Carslake will be- placed at scratch.

There will be a 'band concert before the races Which start at 8:30 o'clock. Grant, Fillmore-Hertel and Niagara Falls ears run direct to the Velodrome. LINDE AIRS TO MEET -Linde Air patrons will be treated to a first-class baseball attraction at the Linde Air park; Genesee and City line tomorrow afternoon when Billy Lang's city champions line up against the St. Catharines, club, formerly of the Niagara District league. St.

Catharines team is rated as one of the leading semi-pro aggregations In these parts and will show their beet in hopes of living up to their reputation with the Buffalo fans. Tomorrow's game will mark the close of a most successful tour for the St. Catharines club. The team is made up entirely of former professional players from the Niagara District league which disbanded Just a few weeks ago. They have been on the road ever since, meeting the best nines in New York State, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

They opened their tour with a victory over the Cuban Giants of this city and expect to close with the same success, defeating the Linde Air team. Manager Lang has not-as yet given out his pitching selection for tomorrow's game, but hopes to work either Allle Seeman or Ernie Reitzman. Both have been out of the game for some time and if not in shape tomrrow, Jack O'Flaherty will be sent to the firing line. The game will start at 3:30 o'clock with Earl Chamberlein umpiring.

CANADIANS FROM VOLGAST ALL HIS OWN Led Throughout, Battering Former Lightweight Star Wolgast Lost Two Teeth and Got Two Black Eyes. Rocky Kan San last night conclusive ly demonstrated to large crowd of fight fans that he Is to 4 be seriously considered, not only as a featherweight, but also as a lightweight, when he fought and soundly defeated Ad Wolgast, former lightweight champion of the world, and one of the roughest millers In the pugilistic game today. Outweighed by the Michigan wildcat more than ten pounds, thus putting the Buffalo lad on a rather dangerous and shaky foundation, he was nothing; daunted and sailed into the former lightweight star in a manner that fairly electrified his admirers.

Tha only disappointing feature of the bout from start to finish was the poor showing of Wolgast. who was repeatedly hissed for covering up and seldom leading. Wolgast, who apparently took the bout as a joke, left the ring minus two teeth Referee Suttner has one of them as a souvenir -and also with two beautifully black eyes that were puffed and almost closed. He was a very tired Wol- -gaat at the conclusion of the bout and sat in the ring for several minutes to rest before he went to his dressing room. Wolgast gave the local fans a style of fighting that is not liked.

He had his arms wrapped around his face and body and would walk in: with his head down, depending upon getting Kansas to leave- an opening so as he could get Inside with his Infighting that made him famous. Properly coached, the Kansas boy feinted, ducked and walked around the Michigan fighter and frequently sent home blows that staggered and astonished the boy who battered down Battling Nelson. Kansas won a great fight. He Is entitled to a world of credit for his work. Unfortunate him he broke his left hand in the third round, and when his glove was taken off In his dressing-room, the boy almost cried from pain.

He put his hands in a pall of cold water, and Insisted "his injured hand be bandaged tight to keep down the swell ing. Today he will have his hand examined by a physician. It was due. to the peculiar 'style of Wolgast that Kansas hurt his hand. He used a hard left hook on the former champion that was stopped by the tetter's head.

The blow sent Wolgast back a foot or two and if It had landed on the Jaw the- wildcat would have taken the count for ten. After that Kansas could use his hand with as much-freedom as he would have liked. In the seventh and eighth rounds Kansas staggered Wolgast and one time left-Jabbed him clear- across the ring and finished with a right uppercut that made Wolgast grunt in distress. The tenth round saw Rocky Kansas make the famous Wolgast look like a novice. Wolgast would hang his head over Rocky's.

shoulder and fairly beg for air. He was which showed iie was not properly trained. Outdoor boxing was given a splendid start at tha International baseball park. The management is entitled to much credit, for the splendid arrangements, working under a hard handicap because of the fifteen-inning game between Rochester and Buffalo. The preliminaries were of the rousing sort.

Dickey Dundee defeated Kid Mick, sending that youngster to the mat no less than four times. Dundee is now going after bigger game. Ed Judeckl stopped Kid Flcber of fracuse in one round. Sailor Butler and Frankle Nelson fought six rounds, tha shade goine to Butler. CENTRAL Y.M.C.

I Different When Dempsey and I Foarty Struggled Glance back the time that Jack Dempaey" and' Jack Fogarty met in the woods near New York. Twenty, "seven of the hardest rounds ever fought with skin-' tight gioves were staged before Fogarty was subdued.

Dempsey was as cloa to defeat as he ever was in his life. A Mr. Fleming of Pittsburgh furnished the side bet for Fogarty. while Gus Tuthill was Dempsey' a backer. It was a winner take all proposition.

When Fogarty met defeat Jack Quinn began to pass the bat for contributions for the loser, 'Fogarty, through his half -closed eyes, saw him. and although he could hardly talk. so swollen Were his lips, he hoarsely forbade it. saying: "'I don't deserve anything, because' I should have beaten Jack, so don't pass the hat for And our Shylocks of today want so much, win, lose or draw. with- out taking a chance whatever.

I Crack Pitcher Will Rejoin His Team at Chicago President Robertson Satisfied Russ Is Again Right Russ Ford, premier pitcher of Gilmore circuit -last season, recently released by the local club, will rejoin his old teammates In Chicago next week. Ford leaves for the Windy City tonight and will be seen in action during the Buf-Fed-Chicago series which starts on Tuesday? 4 President Robertson before leaving for Kansas City to see the big clash between- tne Lord boys and the Packers tomorrow, stated that he was satisfied that Ford was right and ordered him to report to Manager Lord at Chicago. Up to the time that he was released Ford was unable to get his spitter to break right and, believing that he was through for the season, signified his willingness to break the contract. After the team left for the western trip, Ford, to keep in condition, worked out at Federal field.

Russ discovered that his arm was in good condition and daily, assisted by a young catcher, bfi has been getting back to his old time form. Ford is satisfied that he has everything he possessed last year and a little more, and when President Robertson saw him work out ha asked Russ if he would reconsider his former contract. He agreed and tonight will leave for Chicago to rejoin the Buf-Feds. The return of Ford to the Buf-Fed ranks is good news to the local fans. Russ became -popular with the fans when he joined the team, and his re lease was not taken kindly to by the Fed fans.

Ford, in speaking of his present con dition, said that if his come-back is only a mirage, he will quit the game and devote his time to business "But," said Ford, "you can rest as sured that I am not yet through with baseball."
