World Wrestling Championship Bout Set for London
New York January 23 The world welterweight wrestling match between Hackenschmidt and Joe Rogers will be held in London tomorrow under catch as catch can rules for a $1,000 bet plus gate receipts. Rogers, once little known in the U S, is praised as a physical marvel but experts doubt he can match Hackenschmidt in wrestling science. Tommy Burns plans a future bout with Jack Johnson, a move Burns' wife opposes, citing his marriage vow not to fight a "negro." Johnson awaits a crack at the conqueror of Gunner Moir. In boxing news Packey McFarland defeats Young Loughery, showing cleverness but lacking knockout power. Moran suffers pleurisy but renews a 128-pound clash challenge to Battling Nelson, who may take the offer with a large side bet if Nelson agrees to the weight.
