Comparisons Of the popularity Of base
ball and football are interesting, but
baseball is a national game and football
only a college and school game. In
countries where football is played by
every one il is by far the most popular
national sport, but unfortunately in those
countries they do not play baseball ex-
cept as cricket is played here.

MARIO WORRIES DORMAN BUGS" RAYMOND ON MAT
Eccentric Pitcher of Giants Actu-
aIIv Gets One Fall.

Bugs" Raymond, the erratic pitcher Of
the New York Giants. Is now full fledged
wrestler. He was defeated two falls out
of three in Chicago Saturday evening
and this is how THE Chicago Tribune
tells the story:
Arthur l. Raymond, known TO baseball
fans as Bugs and better known to John
j. McGraw. of the New York Giants, as
Bugs not to be outdone by his pals on
the diamond. made his first appearance on
the stage last night at the Alhambra-
Bugs has in his repetory other lines Of
endeavor than nlonologues, songs, etc
Bugs is a wrestler. That is, the man in
charge of the mat bill SO announced him.
THE eccentric twirler of the McGraw
clan endeavored to throw one Kennedy.
and partially succeeded. The bout was a
finish affair. best two in three falls.
Kennedy secured two OF them and the
bout. Bugs secured the other and the
applause. which was some satisfaction.
Bugs never looked better in his life?
In fact he had lost all of that superfiuous
adipose tissue. for which he is noted, and
looked fit to pitch twenty innings. AS they
say of fighters who appear in the ring, he
was in the pink of condition In fact,
he looked starved. That. of course, is not
the dinner bell promptly.
THE subject of this narrative as soon as
time was called, got busy and grabbed
Kennedy about the waist. and weighing
about thirty pounds more than his oppon-
ent proceeded to wear him down Ken
nedy slipped from the spitbalI grasp of
Bugs and landed on top The frowsy
head Of McGraws pet trouble shook with
surprise, and then shook again when Ken
nedy turned him over on his shoulders with
a reversed arm lock, something Bugs
never had heard of. The contest hadn't gone
one inning, the time being 3:05
Bugs came hack with a vengeance
after his valet had rubbed him down thor
oughly and fed him a glass of water He
roughed it a little, worked like d relief
pitcher sent in to save the game, and
turned Kennedy over with a full nelson,
something Bugs also never heard of be-
fore, in the record time of :o5. Bugs rose
from the mat all smiles. shook hands with
himself, ignored his opponent, and went
back for another massage and glass of
water
Round three-By this time both men
were slippery as eels and it with
difficulty that Bugs got near his oppon-
emf. Every time he did. he slid off. On one
of these slides Kennedy put sand on the
skids, and Raymond came to after being
tossed with a haf-nelson in $50.
Bugs carries the title Of pitcher. 1t
is said he learned the profession by OBJ
servation. He will become a wrestler if
this same school holds good Every time
Kennedy wiped up some dirt off the mat
with his grapplers Bugs did the same.
Every time Kennedy jumped like jack in
the box, so did Bugs. Which all goes to
show that Raymond, at some future date,
will be a great wrestler. Whether he is
