In 1911 the Richmond public will see
different ball from that displayed In

the people who expect to come out

BURDEN OF PROOF
With WRESTLERS
Public Willing to Spend Money,
but Wants the
Truth.

When it comes to a discussion of the
relative merits of those who essay to
amusc the public through wrestling
matches, many of us are at loss to
give positive values. While all of us
may agree as to the ability of wrest-
ling to amuse, some of us may be at
odds as regards the intention of those
promoting the game. 1t is obviously
unfair to attribute sinister motives to
q person OF persons until there is some
reason for doing so.
1t is likewise manifestly unfair to
the public to give wide publicity to a
sport which has, through the base uses
10 which it has been put, come to BIO
in Iisrepute, unless it is known that
this sport has been reclaimed and
placed upon a standard which the pub
| lie will do we'll to latroni2e and sup
port.
kid Herbert, against whom no
charges can be made. and who has at
all times demonstrated his intention,
| not only to be on the square, but to
give the people all that they pay for,
says that he will be responsible for
several contemplated wrestling match
es. His name as promoter will doubt,
less act as a guarantee to those who
want to see wrestling. He says that
SS-s'N
of the best local talent, and that If the
matches are pulled off they wiz be on
the level.
KID Holman is slated to go against
Blacksmith Bass. 1t will be a good
match. or this there can be little
doubt to those who know the men
Both are husky, and while no claims
are made as to their being the best In
the game, they are both ambitious
Ambition leads usually to the best eff
forts on the part of the contestants
! The trouble seems to be that Holman
wants little the best Of the arrange
ments. He wants a guarantee II this
is true there appears to be little like
lihood Of the match taking place.
1 Ii there is a question as to which
| Of the two men is entitled to the loca

be willing to make concessions for thu
