TIP WRIGHT'S
C. O l. u NJ "
BY TIP WRIGHT.


Tip Wright:
Dear Sir: Why do you encourage
wrestling? Your boosting of John
Billeter doesn't smack of the high
standard you have hitherto set for
sports. INTERESTED.
AS Interested" wasn't afraid to
sign his real name to this letter of
inquiry, it gives me a great deal
of pleasure to tell him why l en-
courage wrestling and boost Billie
ter.
In the first place. endorse
wrestling as a sport because l be-
lieve in it, and l boost Billeter, as
my friend puts it,, because l be-
lieve in Belleter.
Wrestling is one of the Oldest
sports We know. 1t dates back to
the days of the Greek conquerors
and has place in the history of
Nippon. It's older than the ancient
game of golf, which boasts of an
cestry enough to secure it's ad-
mittance to the most snobbish
English society.
Because wrestling has been
hipDodrOmed by takers and
crooks. does not detract from the
game as sport. any more than
the conviction of half dozen
railway men makes railroading
crooked: or the conviction of
dozen Black Handlers proves the
blOOdthirStiness of all Sicilans.
! am for wrestling because it is
a mans game and only men of red
blood and grit can play at it.
There's no room for "softies' on
canvas mat. believe there are
enough honest wrestlers to put the
game upon it's feet and keep it
there
| boost Billeter because I
know he is honest. At any time a
man participates in more than 200
matches and works himself from
obscurity to the pinnacle by repeat
ed successes. losing but three
matches. and one of these a de-
cision against him upon points
when no fall was recorded. hasn't
anything crooked in his makeup.
There are wrestlers I wouldn't
give space to under any consider
alton and If anv one wants to know
who they are I'll tell him if he will
enclose a stamp. But Johnny Bill
Letter is ALWAYS on the level. The
man who backs him gets an honest
run for his money. If didn't know
this | wouldn't say it, YOU can gam
bic on that.
It's a shame the public should be
so boldly flimflammed. Bad as Is
the sport, 1t is rough that the rae
ing game should be made medium
for these tricksters to get away
with sucker money the way they
do.
It's bad enough for men to bet
their money foolishly on their own
initiative without having adver-
tisements, which every thinking
man knows are based upon nothing
but the knowledge that "a sucker
is born ever minute to help them
get rid of their cash.
You bet your life these tipsters
do go broke like the fools who buy
their sure thing" dope.
