GETS REDS SCALP.
Frank Gotch Throws Indian
Wrestler in Straight Falls
at Chicago.
LOSER WAS WIDELY TOUTED
Lasts IS Minutes First Time and the
Second-Charles Olson Too Fast
for klank.

Chicago, Dec Frank Gotch, the
American wrestling champion, added
another victim to his list by defeat
ing War Eagle, the Indian mat artist,
in two straight falls in their match at
Brooke's Casino last night. Gotch pin
ned the Indians shoulders to the can
vas after they had been at it 1921,
English crosslock. In the second fall
the champion won in S:07, with an
arm and body hold.
Both men were cautious at the start,
repeatedly feinting for holds. The In
dian, who, by the way, is not from
Carlisle, kept away from dangerous po-
sitions. Gotch, however, kept after
him. and finally, after they had been
on the mat for Is minutes, he plucked
the redskins scalp in hurry-up style
War Eagle was more careful than
ever in the second fall, and until the
finish played on the defensive. Gotch,
however, went after him in aggressive
fashion and treated him to few rough
tricks. After standing War Eagle on
his head a couple of times he finally
downed him in S:07, ending the match.
The match pleased big crowd of
enthusiasts, and despite the fact that
Gotch won quickly, it was interesting
all the way. The champion did not
have things his own way at all stages
of the contest, for the Indian showed
knowledge of the game on numerous
occasions by putting Gotch in dan
gerous position by toe and other holds,
but Frank by hard work managed to
wriggle out safely
KInnk is Easy for Olson.
The semi-final match brought togeth-
er Charles Olson of st. Louis and
Emil Klank of Chicago, resulting in
the defeat of the local man in two
straight falls. Olson was too strong
for Klank and outclassed him at all
stages, the match being decided in
less than eight minutes Of work on
the mat. The Mound City man was
the aggressor from the start and won
| the first fall in 4:30 with a neck and
| body hold. 1t did not take him that
long, however, the next time, for he
pinned HANKS shoulders to the floor
with a crotch and arm hold in 3:05.

MAY LOWER BOX
Good Suggestion to be Made to
National League by Presi-
dent PulIiam.
GIVE BATTERs BETTER SHOW
Change Would Make Diamond Level
Proposes to Let Double Headers
Go Full Limit Also.

If reports from Pittsburg quote
President Pulliam correctly, he will
make couple of good suggestions to
the National league magnates when
they meet next week.
He proposes to have the elevation of
the pitchers box above the rest of the
diamond done away with and also abol-
ish the practice so prevalent in the
old leagues last season of curtailing
the second game of double headers to
seven innings by agreement. The
first of these propositions. of course
will require the consent of the Ameri-
can league, as it is embodied in a sec
ton of the playing rules, which are
subject to change or revision only by
the joint rules committees. But there
is likely to be little objection to the
change suggested.
1t has been a very easy matter for
clubs with tall willow pitchers to bunch
the 15-inch limit in clevating the pitch
er's slab, for the slight grade of Is
inches in over 60 feet can not be esti-
mated exactly except by an expert,
and as Mr.. Pulliam says. it is possible
for club owners to raise their pitchers
slab twice the limit without detection
by the average umpire. That there
would be some increase in batting by
putting the pitcher on the Level with
the batsman is not doubted.
Notes of the Threc-Eye.
Harry Bay. once an Islanders and
for a number of seasons outfielder
with Cleveland, is footing his own
horn again this winter. He is on the
road giving concert solos between the
acts of "The Volunteer Organist."
Harry Swacina's chances of sticking
with Pittsburg are slight. A deal is
on to trade a number of players to
Cincinnati for John Camel, one of the
leading first sackers in the business

LECTURES 400 TIMES IN YEAR
Man Who Gives Tri-city Press Clubs
Annual Entertainment Monday
a.c of Great Versatility. i

The life and work of Edward How
ard Griggs, who lectures. at the Grand
Opera house, Davenport, next Monday
evening, under the auspices of the
TTi-city Press club, were recently
sketched by Cincinnati paper as fol
lows: '.
at is an open question whether in
the most prosperous days of the
American lecture lyceum the career
of Mr.. Griggs was even approached.
In the last full year, for example, he
lectured 400 times to a quarter of a
million of people; travelling to meet
his engagements 10000 miles and car
rying in his repertoire 100 lectures.
That such feat could be accomplished
without weariness mental or phySi-,
cal, and concert pitch he struck every
time, only proves that Mr.. Griggs pos
sesses himself. which Ruskin affirmed
to be the greatest of all possessions.
He has the Joy and equilibrium of
| life. He believes in living now. He
exemplifies his own message. Yet
what he says is of commanding i'm
lportance.
Versatility Astonishing.
"The versatility of Mr.. Griggs is
astonishing. He is an interpreter of
masterpieces of literature, an analyst
of historical epochs and personages, a
sympathetic critic of all arts. Such
a picture maker with his words that
mere suggestion of mechanical de-
vice in connection with him would
be burlesque. Whether it is history,
biography. art, literature, ethics or
| religion, he seems to be equally at
home. But with all this ease of
turning from one subject to another,
there is no sense of Representatives.
