HOWE. When Crane speaks of these young
men you would think they were his chill
aren. X Is easy 10 see thai he thinks OF
them collectively and individually as his
especial pets and that their interest is his
own. / Judge that ore Of the reasons that
Crane Is 90 successful IS that he becomes
personally Inter ssted IN the men that re
is training. The team / have just men,
toned has won seven races az the l.. a w.
meet In Racine ard defeated all the
cracks from the country at large for the
| Pabst 500 trophy.
In lSs2 Crane was the welterweight am
ateur champion boxer OF the Northwest
/ ern. central ana Southern branches OF the
A A. l.. He went 10 Boston and won the
national championship by knocking oat
| Pat IIaean In the second round.
In late years there has not been another
wrestling match that has attracted 81
much attention as that between Evan
| Lewis, the stranger. and Yotisff. ire TT
rsbie Turk. who lost his lie later IN Il
shipwreck, Crane WAS LEWIS second and
trainer. II will bc recalled that Lewis
won on foul and tia. when he continued
the match rs m exhibition ne vas Tower-
less in the Turks hands. THE Turk was
simply Il freak" said Crane, Wrestling
as he did. he could make Tnlneemeat 81 all
the other wrestisrs IN she world, He was
the strongest man In the worid. Ills
strength was supeTAuman, Lewis vas "a
n child in his hands ard anyone wio
knows Lewis has some idea ~ wha.
really strong man ne Is. To look a. the
Turk YOU would not imagine that he had
ths strength az horse. but II you So close
Ia him and looked At him from critical
standpoint Won would soon change your
mind.
The first time I saw him was in CHI
