GRANTS WORK BETTER
AGAINST MAX MUELLER
Defeat of German Best Wrestling He's
Done This Year-Smith
Was Heavy.

Joe Grant handed Max Mueller a
surprise at the Washington Light In
fantry Armory last night by throwing
him twice in thirty-ive minutes.
IL was fast and exciting bout and
immeasurably better than the others in
which Grant has taken part this sea
SON Mueller, although he looks
larger In street clothes, proved TO be
somewhat smaller than Grant, but he
was very strong and made the Wash
ington man show all his PAGES. Grant
resorted 20 the scissors hold even more
than usual, and both his falls were
gained by means OF variations Of IT
Mueller had strength enough 10 get out
OF several hammerlOCkS and nelson
holds, but when Grant got busy with
his legs the German was at a disad-
vantage.
The las: fall was the most spectacu-
lar Grant got Mueller into a bridge
by means Of a scissors and arm hold.
and IL appeared that the German could
not possibly escape, but by means OF
clever shifting his weight from one
shoulder he finally pulled loose. but
was so weak that he could offer little
more resistance [nd succumbed a
minute later.
The feature OF the preIiminaries was
the appearance Of Andy Smith, Of Bal
timoTe. who had been heralded as a
13O-pounder. but appeared to weigh I4O
or l42. He wrestled Brother Jim Grant.
and threw him Swice by the rather
unusual full nelson from the front
Mr.. Smith challenged Rob Roy Mackey.
but Mackey said he was looking for
bigger fish, and would meet Aleck
Swanson. the welterweight champion,
in Washington in the next two weeks.
Another feature Of the pTelims was
the reappearanCe Of Jack Spaulding as
a professional, after having been rein
stated as an amateur. He lost to Mic
Ross in twenty-three minutes. Spauld-
ing claimed he was not treated right by
the A A L. and decided to jump again.

One of the amusing incidents of the
racing at Benning 10 date cropped up
yesterday. according 10 a tale going
the rounds
1t appears a group OF operators from
the Government Printing Office openly
boasted Of their ability 10 attend the
races and bet a. much as they pleased
without the fact becoming known 10
Public Printer Stillings. The latter
warned his employees TO refrain from
attending the Benning track or betting
on the races In special manifesto
issued last Saturday.
On Monday afternoon the bulletin
board at the Western Union Office in
the betting ring indicated the presence
within Of telesrams for several well
known employees at the big printery.

This fact adds extra interest TO the

talk Of the match is assuming large
proportions and Sullivan and Russell
well realize the Importance of the affair.
Russell is a six-round boxer who has
made a big name for himself in the
