Should the emergency arise it is
miitc likely that instead of Dempsey

-
Promoters Trying to Get Norwegian to Come Here
and Skate Against Chicagoan Looks Like
Big Winter for Skating.
Indications point to this being a most successful skating season.
The McLean-Mathieson world's championship skating match in Nor
way last February did mucn to revive interest in the sport and things are
picking up now just where they left off last winter. There is a possi
bility that McLean and Mathieson will race again. Promoters are trying
to get the pair together in this country. It may bexpossible to get these
skaters together, and McLean is more than willing to skate the Nor
wegian. Getting- Mathieson to skate, however, is something ; else. When
"Mathieson defeated, McLean last February, the first thing he did when
he got off the ice was to take off his skates and hail them to the wall
in the dressing room of the Christiania club,- with the" remark that he
had skated his last race. '
We have known athletes who could be induced to make their return
to the track for a consideration and -Mathieson, too, may be suscep
tible when the golden lucre is spread in front of him. :.T,he Norwegian
got about $40,000 out of the McLean-races, which is about $38,000 more
than he got out of all his other races, and why he should retire is some
thing we cannot understand.
McLean may have some skating to do at home. Noryal Baptie has
challenged the Chicago flyer to a series of races for the .American cham
pionship and McLean will skate Baptie or any one else just as soon as
seme one offers something for them to skate for. 11

Joe was tugging and jerking for
12 rounds. In the 13th, he ran into
a ledge of knuckles that wasn't on

latest quotation from Wall street.
From then on he was bouncing like
an old lady in the rear seat of a

up again like an umbrella in April.
Game? Tharbird was too game.
Joe can. probably get all the fights
he wants in New York. There is
some gossip of him meeting Leonard
again. He might battle Jackson or
Dundee.
Where Are They.
You might think he had a slew
of opponents to pick from. But
where are they? Leonard disposed
of his last logical contender by put

and . Jackson fought again, or some
more, on Monday night. The winner
was to meet Bennie. The fight was
