WRESTLING IN oLDEN TIMES
Popular I'm England at an Early Date,
Int CnmnarafiYeIr New In AmerIca.

Popular in England at an Early Date,
but Comparatively New In America.
Probably the first authentic record of
wrestling match is in A. ID. 1922,
when chivalry on the European CONT

Ill of England match took place in
St Giles Field, London, between citi-
zens of Westminster and the city of
London proper. Wrestling was. how
ever, popular as pastime in England
at a much earlier period, and from that
country many of the different styles
originated. Everyone knows how much
friendly rivalry exists between school,
boys and how they will tug and pull at
fellow scholar, after school hours, in
their attempts to gain the mastery.
These early lessons are not lost, as they
only serve to whet the appetite for the
legitimate style which they indulge in
when they reach maturer age.
AS a recognized sport or pastime
wrestling is of comparatively recent
origin in this country. 1t is, however,
now making rapid strides forward. In

twelve or fifteen thousand people to
witness a contest between two promi-
nent athletes, Cumberland and West
moreland. catch-as-catch-can and Corn
ish and Devonshire being the most
prevalent styles in the tight little
island. The Anglo-Saxon race stands
prominently above all others as the
exponent of wrestling, and on more
than one occasion the advantages of the
art over boxing in a scrimmage have
been demonstrated. In no other branch
of athletics does science act as foil
to heavy opponents when opposed
by much lighter men to such a
degree as it does when exercised
by a thorough master of the art
of wrestling in all its fine and delicate
points, hence wrestling takes prom
inent place in the athletic exercises of
the leading gymnasiums and clubs all
over the country, and there are hun
dreds of wrestlers, both amateur and
professional, who are a credit to the
profession, while the schoolboys who
initiate the professionals early show
evidence of skill Perhaps the most ex-
citing style of any is that practiced in
Japan, for in that country, strange and
outrageous though it may seem, it has
been the barbarous custom, after the
contest, to put the man who has been
unfortunate enough to lose to a cruel
death Ia practice fast falling into dis
use). Butting an opponent through
the limits of the ring is considered a
mark of superiority by the Japanese
Lippincott's.
