Turner-ProkoS Match
Turned Into Handicap

Followers Of the mat game here are
wondering what Turner. the Wash

to do in straight match with
Prokos, the Greek wrestler from New
England. At the Armory last night
what was to have been a finish bout
was turned into a handicap because
Prokos appeared ten pounds over
weight. Prokos was unable to throw
Turner once in an hour and lost the
match.

Commercial Baseball
League Election Near

With the brightest outlook in its his
tory the Commercial Baseball League
will choose a president at its next ses-
sion, which will be held in the next
week or ten days. 1t is reported today
that the most likely candidate for head
of the league is Charles J. Graf.
At last nights meeting of the organi-
zation at r. P. Andrews, the election of
a president was postponed because only
five clubs were represented. It was re-
ported that all of the franchises Nave
been paid for, and that the grounds at
Georgia avenue and Kenyon street are
being put into tiptop shape. The field
will be ready in plenty of time before
the opening of the season for the teams
to have several practice games.
