BENEFIT OF WRESTLING
FRANK HUSEMAN SPEAKS EN-
ENTHUSIASTICALLY OF THE ART.

Frank Huseman. the local wrestler, has
retired from the professional ranks and
has been engaged as. instructor of wrestling
by the Y. NJ. c. A. Wrestling Club. Mr..
Huseman is enthusiastic on the subject of
wrestling. 1T is an unequaled pastime"
he remarked the other day, "a grand means
OF Self-defense. and as a developer 1t can
not be beaten. 1t Is an unfailing aid to
health. and 1t should be shown the favor
shown to a trusted. faithful friend. I re-
member time when none but professional
athletes wrestled. Now. however, all Is
changed. We find the sport popular in all
gymnasiums and the home, as well as in
the outside world. The rapidly increasing
popularity of mat work has given the sport
new life.
THE rewards Of wrestling are such that
a man with virilty and love of contest In
his blood has but to taste of them in order
to feel it's benefits. The man youth who
wrestles feels his superiority over his as
moments in pool rooms breathing tobacco
laden air. He feels that there is a time
for work and a time for play, and that
during the latter period whatever gives
the greatest benefit should be INDUCED in.
A wrestler soon does away with aids to
digestion and other medicinal blessings.
He throws aside health foods and devours
thick. juicy steaks instead. He walks the
street with a springy step. a light heart. a
clear brain and the keenest of eyes. He
sleeps almost as sound as the ancient

THEORY OF ENGLISH
STROKE Is EXPLAINED

LONDON, September S.-The Fortnightly
Review has the following to say regarding
the differences between the English and
American styles Of rowing especially inter-
esting in view of the presence in London
of the Harvard American crew:
I'm England We have developed a style
that means swinging back the shoulders
and body on the pivot of the hips. ard
involves keeping the arms straight as long
as possible. When the position of the car
handle makes straight arms an impossible
ity we do not begin to pull with them but
we shorten them by bending them at the
elbows, and we allow the body weight to
continue its effect upon the blade until we
shove it out of the water with final push
of our feet against the stretcher, instead of
pulling 1t out OF the water with a snap of
our arms.
IF you could take an English oarsman
as he Is seated in an eight. just at the
start of a stroke. and could tilt up the boat
until the bows were straight in the air and
the rudder at the bottom of the river, you
would then see that the action of his arms
and legs almost exactly reproduces the
movements of a man who is drawing a
cork out of a bottle which he has placed
on the floor between his feet.
His arms remain straight. His body be-
comes gradually more upright at the hinge
of the hip joints. His legs supply the real
thrust as they slowly and strongly straight
en- out and the knees go fiat. That is why
when an Englishman gets out of boat af-
ter a hard race he scarcely walk, but
he could probably do almost anything he
wanted to do with his arms.
Now, the effects of this style are three
fold 1t uses the strongest propelling mus
cles in the human frame. 1t uses every
ounce of weight of the body. 1t can be
rowed when a man is so tired that he can
scarcely see the back in front of him.
THE grea test difference of all in the way
in which the two countries look at rowing
is contained in the fact that we recognize
w n net
tired. while Americans produce their theor-
les about pace and action as If they had
perfect and inexhaustible machinery to work
upon. American coaches develop theory
and prove it on the bank. Then they pro-
coed to train their mems muscles by gym
nasiums and tanks to stand the extra strain
which the theory will put upon them. When
a coach has got them to do a good time
against the watch he is also satisfied that
the theory or his particular stroke is cor

NEW YORK, September 8.-Arrange-

The record for the longer distance was
established two years ago by the x. P. D.

miles at an average speed of 26.29 statute
miles. This record has never been b. oxen,
and the same boat will be on hand to de-
fend the title.
There is much interest among the lovers
Of the sport in the race for the internal
tional, the national and the interstate
championships, which are to be held on
the last three DAYS of the tournament.

no slump afterward.
Williams will also be power in the ath-
letic management at Pennsylvania. He
has been tried out on more than one oc-
casion and found not to be wanting in any
way when the training of athletes was
considered.
Bill Reid at Harvard.
Lastly, but standing foremost among the
leaders Of college athletic coaches. is
Bill Reid Of Harvard. possibly known bet
ter outside Of Cambridge as William F.
Reid. jr. There are many who say he is
the greatest coach in the business, but
upon investigation one will doubtless find
that the report emanated from ardent sup
porters Of the crimson, and this is nothing
more than one should expect from all
loyal sons of the university Of John Har-
ward. They say that Reid is the highest
priced coach in the country, and this is
doubtless true, for he is said to receive the
sum of $4,000 annually. This is some
what in excess Of that of Yost at Michi-
gan, and the others, but Harvard has al
ways had a fondness for Reid, and this
excess of salary over the Others can
doubtless be taken as an indication Of
good feeling that the sons of the crimson
hold for their stalwart brother who has
worked so hard and SO honestly for the sue
cess of Harvard at all times.

Three thousand silver dollars
dumped off the end of an American
Express wagon amid a gaping crowd,
were quickly transferred to the vaults

weighing an ounce apiece totals the
weight at 1917 pounds.
The money came in three large can
vas sacks and there was little, time
lost in getting it from the wagon in
to the bank and when the messenger
had the money signed for he heaved
one good healthy sigh of relief. The
three sacks were a burdensome load,
and the express messenger was will
ing to drop them to the floor of the
bank and then drag them to the safe.
The silver came from the sub-treas.

himself from Charlottesville and his
post of duty as station agent of the
Big Four railroad there. He has fail.

F. E. TineIe Formerly Of Richmond
and His Guests who Were Wayne
County People Go to the Carnival
And get More than They were Look
ing For.

Connersville, Ind, July IA, (Spl)-
Mr.. and Mrs. F. E. Tingle, formerly
Richmond people and their visitors,
some of them Wayne county people,
will have cause to long remember
Carnival week, as a result of their ex-
perience last night.
Mrs. Tingle, Mrs. Moore and daugh-
ter, of Cambridge City, Mrs. Meggs
and son, of Indianapolis and Mrs
Mary Griffin and granddaughter, the
child of Mrs. Grace Griffin Beard, of
Cambridge City, had driven in a car
riage to the Carnival grounds. Mrs.
Tingle left the vehicle at the gate to
go in search of Mrs. Beard, who had
preceded her to the grounds. She had
been gone but a short time, when the
music from the r. Merry-goRound
started up, frightening the horse,
which at once began madly lurching.
Mrs. Moore, who held the lines, could
not control the animal, which began
backing, and before some men stand
ing near the gate could render assis-
tance, the maddened animal had back
ed the carriage into the canal. Mrs.
Meggs and Mrs. Henly jumped out,
but the others went into the canal
with the carriage. J. E. w. Henry,
who had grabbed the bride, at once
left the horse and sprang into the
water just in time to rescue the
Beard child, which is an infant one
year old, from drowning. Mrs. Moore
and Mrs. Griffin were assisted out.
but were dripping wet
The Meggs child. who is nine, was
caught in the carriage, and although
he was longer than anyone in the
water, he was not harmed. He waded
out by himself.

peatedly warned to keep away; that
he was trying to ruin her daughter;
that he had repeatedly threatened to
kill the defendant and that the mo-
ment before the shot was fired he

Richmond Man Direct Cause
of Proposed Change in
State Law.
PULLMAN COMPANY RATES
INDIANA RAILROAD COMMISSION
DECLARES ITS PURPOSE TO
HAVE ITS SCOPE WiDENED BY
GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

AS direct result of a Richmond
travelling mans complaint against
the Pullman Sleeping and Parlor Car
Co. the next session OF Indiana's
General Assembly Will be called upon
by the Indiana Railroad Commission
to widen it's scope of Jurisdiction so
that it shall include that company.
The rather inconsistent situation Is
now presented of the Indiana Railroad
Commission being enabled to regulate
freight and passenger rates of all rail-
roads in the State, but of being unable
to touch the Pullman Company, whose
schedule of fares is as varying, accord
ing to mileage, as the winds of March.
Complaint Bears Fruit.
One week ago the Richmond travel.
ing man informed the Indiana Rail-
road Commission that the seat fare iii
a Pullman car from Richmond to In.
dianapolis was so cents, while from
Indianapolis to Terre Haute the fare
was 25 cents. Pullman car officials
at Indianapolis sought to deny this,
but later the fact was proved to the
Indiana Commissions entire satisfac.
tion. Last evening the Richmond
man received the following letter from
the commission:
Dear Sir:-In response to your com.
munication of the 1st inst, addressed
to the Chairman of the Commission, I
am directed to say that in the judg.
ment of the Commission, the Pullman
Car Company is not subject to it's con-
troll. 1t has been uniformly held by
courts that the Pullman Palace Car
Company is not a common carrier and
that such being the case, it is not con.
trolled by the provisions of the late
law, for the reason that sleeping car
companies are not named In the law
but the law applies only to common
carriers. We have to suggest that
we will say in our annual report to
the Legislature and the Governor that
the law should be amended in this
particular, SO as to include sleeping
car companies. Yours respectfully,
