AMERICUS MEETS MAHMOUT
Interesting Wrestling Match to Take
Place at Chicago Tonight.

Chicago, Dec 14.-Yussif Nah
mout, the Bulgarian heavyweight
wrestler, who last season disposed of
every opponent with the exception of
Champion Frank GOtch, will meet
Americas, the Baltimore grappIer, in
the main bout of the show to be
given tonight at the Coliseum under
the auspices of the Empire Athletic
club.
Last season the clever Baltimorean
opposed the sturdy representative of
the Ottoman empire in the Seventh
Regiment armory, and although
beaten he gave Mahmout the hardest
tussle he had up to the time the lat
ter faced Gotch. At that time Amer
icus weighed 80 pounds less than
Mahmout, but the former now tins
the scale at 1872 pounds. and with his
added poundage believes he will be
more than a match for the powerful
visitor from the Balkan mountains.

TO DETERMINE
STATE CHAMPS
Board of Appeal of High School
Athletic Association Will
Meet This Month.
PROTESTS TO BE SETTLED
Is the First Time That the Board Has
Ever Been Called Upon for
ANY Real Work.

The board of appeals of the state
high school athletic association will
have its first real business to transact
when it convenes in conjunction with
the Illinois state teachers association,
which meets at Springfield, H., Dec
IS, % and 80. The board has been in
existence for a number of years, but
until this year there has been no occa-
sion for its services. This year. how
ever, the 107 schools belonging to the
Illinois athletic association have given
it a number of problems to settle, there
being about eight disputed games to
pass upon and a number of other lesser
troubles to be heard. Principal H. E.
Brown of the Rock Island high school
is the secretary of the board.
VIII Settle Championship.
The chief matter before the board is
the settling of dispute between the
high schools of Rochelle and Sterling,
and the decision will very likely deter
mine the high school football cham
pionship of the state. The two schools
played a game which was won by the
Rochelle team by a score of IA to IL,
but the Sterling aggregation claims
that it was defrauded out of the game
through the interference of the Ro-
Chelle spectators who lined the side
lines and did everything in their power
to help the home team to win the vic
tory. Rochelle and Sterling are the
logical contenders for the state title.
despite all claims to the contrary, and
the decision as to the real winner of
this protested game will probably set |
tie the championship.
Is 57th Meeting.
The meeting of the state teachers /
association this year marks the 57th /
year Of the existence of that organiza- |
ion. II is expected that the coming |
meeting will be one of the best in its .
history. This city will be represented !
Dy Superintendent H. B. Hayden and
Principal II. e Brown County Super
ntendent S. j. Ferguson will also be in
attendance. Preliminary to the main
meeting there viii be a meeting of the
,ity superintendent organization, at
Which Mr.. Hayden will deliver an adj

''Mr. Murphy also has insinuated
that we junior leaguers are attempting
to dictate who shall be elected presi-
dent of the National league. This is
wrong. but we are surprised that the
National league club owners should try
TO remove from Office man like John
Heydler. More Heydlers are needed
in the baseball business. He is thor

and knows conditions of the past. We
have not said that the National league
