FELTz AND LOWE AGREE

Boxing and wrestling are both expert
encing a boom i'm Washington az the
present and the public is giving liberal
support 10 both.
The most important wrestling attrac-
ton on the cards is thar between Joe
Grant, the shifJy Washington boy who
Is middleweight champion of the South,
and Gus Schoenlein. the famous Balti-
more heavyweight, who IS better known
rs Americas. These boys meet at the
Washington Light Infantry Armory on
December ]. and are busily engaged In
preparing for the bout. Americus has
undertaken the difficult task of throw
Ing Grant twice in an hour. To accom-
plish this he VIII have TO do some OF
the fastest wrestling OF his career, as
Grant Is one Of the strongest defensive
wrestlers for his weight in the world
Grants Strong Opponent.
In none OF his matches this winter has
Grant found an opponent who could

danger with a nelson hold. Americus is
counted one Of the. strongest men in the
business, and IL viii be interesting to
see how much impression he can make
on the powerful neck muscles of the
middleweight champion.
Another wrestling match of interest

money, and had IL not been for the I'M
