In the first round Sawyer failed TO
display any marked ability, and he re-
peatedly covered up and retreated in
the face of MantelIs attack. The sec
ond round gave more promise, for both
men stood up and apparently tried to
box. Near the close of the round Man
tell stepped in and caught Sawyer on
the chin with an uppercut.
There did not seem to be much force
to the blow. and the spectators gasped
when Sawyer slowly sank to the floor
and fell OutstTetChed on his face. Man
tell endeavOred to pick up his OppO-
nent and carry him to his corner, but
the the referee waived him aside and de-
Clared him a winner.

will undergo a thorough revision if the
ideas Of Coach A. A. Stage of the Uni
versity of Chicago prevail at the next
meeting of the national rules body on
March p. Stage arrived from New York
yesterday and told what he will attempt
as member of the special sub-cOmmft-
tee appointed to draw up suggestions for
the prep school game.
At present Stagg has three definite no

in High schools, and his solutions are
these:
Require a medical examination Of all
athletes who participate in a High school
or club game before they are permitted
to play.
Shorten the halves to a maximum Of
twenty minutes, or make four quarters of
ten minutes each with five minutes inter
mission.

evenly matched High school teams, and

PROMOTERS MOVE QUARTERS TO FRISCO
PROFESSIONAL GOLFERS
LAY BY LARGE SUMS

New York, Feb. s.-There are six profess
sional golfers in this country whose com
bined savings exceed $1,000 900. Alec
Findley, the well-knOwn golfer, is author
ity for this statement. He does not name
the fortunate sextette. He says:
THE professionals are canny lot, and
most of them have sense enough to put
by a large share of their money. And
some of them gather in a really large sum
each season. For example, there IS
professional at Pinehurst who gets 50 an
hour for teaching, and has three or four
men help him. He sells 5000 clubs year,
know several men who have taught big
financiers and have benefited by stock
market suggestions which they have re-
ceived. You can see for yourself that
golf is by no means an underpaid bust
ness"

wind and was dizzy for the majority Of

a great wrestler and all I hope is that

ON HONEYMOON,

Boston, Feb 8.-John L. Sullivan and

The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1910-02-09

The match was easier for Yokel than
was expected even by his staunchest
hackers. He showed above a question OF
a doubt that he was the better man. He
so far OutcIassed his man that Karp
failed to show the class that he pos
sesses. As predicted by the wise ones,
there were no fancy spins, no flying falls
with the men changing positions at ire
quent intervals. 1t was a match for
blood and neither took chances on making
it a SNOWY affair.
On the two times that the men went to
the mat YOkel was on top and he stayed
there. When the falls came Yokel had
holds that were unbreakable. Those who
said that YOkel was not quick enough
saw him possess the necessary speed to
fasten a hold that counted when the
opening came.
Karp is a good defensive wrestler. He
broke holds and good ones that Yokel
fastened. What he can 90 on offensive
against a man like YOkel is not known,
as he did not have a chance to show.
Yokel allowed his opponent no opening.
Once the two mixed it in open style and
for an instant Karp was on top. Just as
quick, however, Yokel was back and KaTp
found that the open attack would not
work After the match YOkel said:

In the preliminary Peter Buzukos, the
coast Greek wrestler, proved more than
match against Eddie ConnOrs and won
two falls in thirteen and eight minutes
respectively. The Greek led in both sci
ence and strength and won easily. The
second fall showed the famous toe hold in
a new form to local fans. COnnOrs while
flat on his stomach granted that he was
down, the pain from his twisted ankle
forcing him to admit the fall Buzukos
was cheered by his fellow countrymen
present and was given q good hand all
around. He wants to meet Connors again
agreeing to throw him five times in
ninety minutes.
The house that greeted the wrestlers
was the largest and most representative
that has attended a match in Salt Lake
There was not a vacant seat and after
the standing room was sold many were
turned away
YokeI received perhaps the greatest ova-
ton when he appeared, but Karp's recep-
ton was not far behind. Both men
looked in the pink of condition. In the
afternoon at o'clock each failed to move
the beam at 152 pounds and it is safe to
say that not a pound difference could be
found in the two when they went on the
