BODEKER DRAWS PISTOL TO COOL
 DOWN WRESTLER

Exceedingly rough work marred the wrestling match held last night at the Jefferson theatre between Peter James, the "Terrible Creek and Young Beel' the Buffalo, N Y German, to decide the title to the middleweight championsnlp of the south James was finally able to defend his title, being awarded the nrst fall by consent of Bee, who claimed dirty work and refused to wrestle, and gaining the second fairly in 25 minutes of wrestling.
 Chief of Police Bodeker was forced at one time to interfere because of James rough work. He ordered the Greek off the mat and drew his revolver to keep him quiet when the angry wrestler showed fight. The chief finally consented to allow the match to continue on the condition of absolute fair play. Referee R. M. Taylor announced that if either man obtained a strangle hold the Tall would be awarded the other.
 Chief Bodekers action gained the ap- ,proval of many of the fans present who wanted to see fair play. James was in fact guilty of some exceedingly rough
  hold three times, scratched Beel badly about the left eye. and seemed at one time to be trying to tear off the Ger mans ear. Referee Taylor was com peled at one time to kick the Greeks head forcibly with his knee in order to make him break a strangle hold he had secured on Beel.
 The match was furious and exciting. Both men started out roughly with spar ring tactics, the Greek slapping Beel several times and the German coming back with a right hook to James, jaw. Both were mad and neither was careful of the holds he secured. They wrestled rather at random and Referee Taylor had a hard time in making them keep to the mat.
 Both men showed considerable skill, but the Greek was superior in science and en- durance Beel showed a streak sev- eral times. but for which his chances for winning would have been much stronger. He declined to finish the trial for the first fall, claiming that the Greek had se- cured a strange hold. Referee Taylor decided it was not a strangle hold, how ever, and awarded the fall to James. The second fall was gained by the Greek in 25 minutes of fast wrestling, in which he showed himself decisively the best wrestler. The hold used was a neck lock and crotch
 The match between J. K. Cutrer and Tony Owings, which preceded the cham pionship match last night, by far the cleaner and prettier exhibition. Cut Ter defeated the Greek in two straight , falls the first secured in 37 minutes with full Nelson, and the second in g min utes with an arm bar and arm lock OWings was seriously handicapned. when his nose was fractured after some 15 min utes of wrestling, and deserves credit for sticking to the game.
 Cutrer showed himself the master, though he had the advantage of Owings> more in strength than in science.

1 fautless his support. there is always at least once chance of victory. The team which grasps the opportunity is the team which wins. The team which fails to grasp the opportunity is the team which plays in hard luck"
 Now that was a very nifty game in Memphis yesterday afternoon. The lowly Doormats had more opportunities than had the Barons but of one of the op- portunities they took advantage. And the Doormats achieved a victory, of which, | if they are proud, they are not to be k kcensured. o, nos,.,,,o on portunity to score-and to score was enough to prevent defeat. This came in the early part of the game. Mcbride, first up, singled. McGilvray, next up, singled Had everything gone well, two sacrifices would have pushed much needed run over Emery would probably have sent the runners to second and third. and. Ellam's probable long fly. would have scored Mcbride. But Mo Bride first attempted to reach third, and then, seeing his danger. attempted to re- turn to second He went out.
 This was really the only Baron opportu- nifty.
 We are not eritieising, or attempting to say q told you so,' or to do anything else which is disagreeable. We are simp- |ly pointing out the absolute necessity of grasping the opportunities as they come, and giving an example. We have got to take advantage of opportunities or slump from our present proud estate.

Memphis, July 15.-(Special.)-In an ex- tellent game this afternoon the Memphii defeated the Barons l to 0.
 The fight was a fight of pitchers princi- pally, and although Fleharty had the ad- vantage in everything save bases on balls, Allen got the victory. None of the walks given by Fleharty, however, figured in the run of Memphis.
 The locals had several chances to regis ter, but in every case save one Fleharty was too strong. He struck out nine men.
 In the early innings however, Klawit- ter. first up, beat out an infeld hit. and went to second when Elliott threw badly to Fleharty, returning the ball to the box. This gave Crandall an opportunity, and he hit safely to center, Klawitter scoring
 The best chance of the Barons was in the following inning, when Mcbride, after sfngling, attempting to go to third on McGilvray's single. When he saw that he would be retired he attempted to re- turn to second and was out. One other time a Baron, Messenger, was on second. Hitting on both sides was light

WITH THE SCRIBES

The Turtles are playing joke baseball these days. Once In a while they chip in with a good game, and with some real inside baseball, but for the most part the stuff they are pulling off is a scream. Memphis News Scimitar.
 They clipped in good one yesterday all right.
 Nashville is one of the best towns on the Southern league circuit and the at tendance, when the team is going good. is altogether satisfactory. This season 1t has not been so good. and the answer is evident. Just why this has all happened Is hard to say. Bill is certainly a good manager and, as rule, the men have been playing good ball in the field. Per haps the hitting weakness answers tne> whole question. Schwartz has strength ened the team much. but when he arrived the seasoseSsvas already far advanced and all the other teams had been winning games with the men they added and .se cured after trying out the first batch.- Nashville American.

 These figures offer one of the finest demonstrations I have seen for a long time that hits are worthless unless they are backed by other things.

G. NJ. Martin, knowing that he
cannot defeat County Attorney Field
by fair means, and believing that he
can accomplish it by foul means has
another attack on Mr.. Field in last
weeks Republican organ of the
county. This time the attack is
based on the case of State VS. Cir
Gle, which County Attorney Field
was not permitted to prosecute be-
cause he was Mr. Circles attorney
in civil suit out of which the
criminal case was brought. A. l..
Noble was appointed by the Attor-
ney General to prosecute this case
and, knowing that he could make a
correct statement of the facts in
the case, he was requested to do so
which he has done; but the state
ment, being rather lengthy and COM
ing The Index only few hours
before going to press, will not be
published until next week. It is
sufficient to say at this time that it
is a complete vindication of Mr..
Field and shows conclusively that
he did all that he could have done
in the matter. esa
Watch for Mr.. Mobiles statement
next week.
