WRESTLING POORLY
REWARDED: JENKINS

Less.

tom" Jenkins, the former cham
piOn catch-as-catch-can wrestler. de-
plores the fact that wrestling is going
into disrepute. Jenkins says:
The public will turn out in large
numbers to see a mill, where they
could not be drawn with a team of
oxen TO see a contest on the mat.
The life of a wrestler is harder
in every way than that of a fighter
The wrestleris under severe strain from
start to finish. if a match is for endur-
ance. and the wrestler has no chance
of getting rest.
He must be at it all the time. A
fighter, on the other hand. has a min
ute between rounds to recuperate On
the mat. even if a wrestler affects to
lie on his stomach. he has TO keep
moving all the time to prevent his
man from gaining a fall. Then he has
TO contend against the weight of his
rival
His opponent may scale from 10 to
80 pounds heavier than himself and
his weight on your back is no easy
thing to try to shake off.
You have often seen a man bent
on all tours during bout Some folks
think that a wrestler has a chance
then TO gather his wind and strength.
But such position IS more agonizing
than trying to escape a hammer lock
or one of the Nelson holds.
The position is trying on the nerves
lie IS all cramped up. perspiring. and
what not. To be in such a position.
say for a couple of hours, is enough
to make a man quit. | tell you a
lighters business is a cinch compared
to that of wrestler, and the pity of
it is that the grappler gets the smaller
reward for his services"

Address Remarks at Performers and
Shoot Peanuts at Parquet
Occupants.

An evil that is growing to the annoy
ance of the patrons Of the Illinois thea
ire is the character OF the converse
ton INDUCED in by the youths who
hold down the front rows in the top
gallery.
No one denies that the boys should
.amuse themselves. They go to the
Theatre to be entertained. as do those
who occupy the other sections of the
house. but they know when they shout
fresh remarks at performers and joke
with one another in a voice audible
n any part of the theatre that they are
overstepping the bounds of propriety.
The management maintains an Off
Ger in the gallery whose particular
duty it is 10 see that the boys demean
themselves properly. His instructions
are TO make arrests where an offender
does not heed the regulations after
having been admonished. OF course
it is not always easy to spot the guilty
when the gallery is filled, and there
is masonry about the ones who occH-
.py this exalted section that makes it
almost outside the range of POSSIBLE
ties to get one to peach on another
when there has been any wrong com
mitted. Thus it is to be seen that the
lot of the officer is most peTpleXing on
occasions
