Inc interview with Garry Hermann at

THE proposed leagues have no n.

not build ball parks in a night and
neither league is in condition to start
the season. The American league has
taken no action one way or the other.

1T is preposterous to think that

that " leagues might pool their in.

Fargo. N. D., March 7.-Henry. Or
deman of Minneapolis and stanislaus
Zbyszko. Polish champion, wrestled
n hour without a fall at the Fargo
opera house last night before one OF
the largest crowds that ever witnessed
a wrestling match in North Dakota,
Ordeman not only stayed the limit
with his heavier opponent. but several
times, by using the toe hold, had the
Pole dangerously near a fall. Zbyszko
was successful each time in breaking
the hold For the first few minutes Of
the match. it seemed as If the Pole
would be the winner, but Ordeman
came back strong and succeeded in
keeping away from his heavier op-
ponent.
George Barton, manager for Orde-
man., objected to Zbyszko wrestling
without the customary wrestling
shoes, and the crowd loudly demand
ed that the Pole don his shoes. This
the Pole refused to do and Ordeman
finally consented to pass the point.
The absence of shoes made it more
difficult for Ordeman to make the toe
hold effective.
Before the match Farmer Jahns
OF Grand Forks was introduced and
challenged Ordeman to n finish match
at Grand Forks. Ordeman has not ac-
cepted the challenge as yet, but said
after tonight's match that he may
give JahnS a match.

VICTOR SAFER
BIG T I

Chicago. March 7.-victor Safer,
h 2O-year-old first bascman of the
Chicago National Cubs. certainly has
caused enough commotion in the Ma
tional league to satisfy one of his
years.
Safer came heralded as a sensation.
And he has been causing one about
every time that he turned around.
Here is what that young man has
done in his brief life:
Jumped direct from a high school
team to the Chicago Cubs and at q
time when that team held the cham
pionship Of the National league.
Stepped from the bench to first base
when he was but 90 years of age and
at q time when the Cubs were in a
hot fight for the pennant.
Made good in the eyes Of Fred
Clarke and Roger Bresnahan but not
In those Of Frank Chance.
Was offered for trade in the biggest
deal attempted at the annual meeting
OF the National league.
And finally was the cause Of the row
which resulted in Roger Bresnahan fl.
ling charges against Charles Webb
Murphy. D..
Can you beat that for a 20.year-old
chap? Many a man has played base
ball a lifetime without having caused
half the commotion. And Safer is one
Of the quietest. most likeable young
fellows you yer saw. Any time that
you want his opinion and the answer
requires more than two words. you
don't get 1t.
This Safer certainly was a sensation
from the word go. George HUFF went
out In the woods and discovered him.
HUH. 1t will be remembered, was then
scout for the Cubs. Twenty-Five hun
dred dollars converted Safer into q
Cub. Everything was lovely. Then
came the report that Safer would not
play with the Cubs. He raj absolute
ly convinced that 1t would be q mis-
take for him to join a team like the
Cubs. where he would have to spend
so much time on the bench.
But he came. And he didn't sit on
the bench either. Chance was unable
to continue in the game and Safer was
subjected to one of the most trying
ordeals that any yOungster ever faced.
He was sent to first when the Cubs
were fighting for a pennant. Mind
you. he had jumped direct from high
school to this pennant contending
team. Safer didn't hit much. Chance
wanted to let him 90. but Clarke and
Bresnahan couldn't zee it that way,
and the deal was blocked because
these two clever leaders refused to
waive.

SPORTING LIGHTS
AiAHMOUT VS.. GoTCH

Wy wv
ASK h first man you come to who
Is the greatest wrestler in the world
and he will answer without the least
hesitation that Frank Gotch is the
greatest grappler of the past or pres
ent. If you ask the average wrest-
Ter who has been around the circuit
some. he is liable to say hat this NAH
mout is n of the greatest of all
wrestlers. 1t is not so much from
what he has lone before the public.
but what the big wrestlers know he
can do. Some Of the wrestlers will go
on record as saying that the Bulgar-
ian Is the greatest wrestler In all the
world. His victory over Jess Pedcr-
sen Shove that Mahmout is one of
the masters of wrestling. The ao-
counts of the match in the Chicago pa
pers show that the gigantic Dane never
had a chance in the world to beat the
Bulgarian.
The elimination goes merrily on.
Zbyszko and Mahmout are left as the
only fit opponents Of the great and
mighty Gotch. The proper caper is for
these truly great wrestlers to meet and
settle the question once for all. II
Zbyszko wins there will be no course
but a finish match between the Pole
Mahmout wins the chances are that
Gotch will retire and leave the cham
pionship in the keeping of the once
starved man or Europe.
We will take off our chapeau to the
Turk. Any man who can beat Peder-
son in the quick time accomplished by
Mahlnout and with the consummatc
case displayed by the dark man, is
truly some wrestler. Great as Gotch
Is he may have some very good rea-
sons for not caring to meet the Turk
once more. Gotch bea this same IL
low when he was far from IL we'll man
and he defeated him when he knew
far less of the catch as catch can style
than he knows at the present time.
Who knows but at the present time
this Mahmout stands as the greatest
wrestler in the world. There are three
great wrestlers among the heavy
weights of the world-let them meet
and settle the question of supremacy
