FRANK COTCtt GAN
 NAME ONLY SIX 1 WRESTLING HOLDS

FRANK GOTCH. the worlds cham
 pion heavyweight wrestler. says that half the aspirants. to champion ship honors do not know the names of half the holds they use while strug- gling on the mat
 q think can name about six of the loclls," says the champion, but there is such a difference of opinion as to the names of the holds that I never have tried to be an authority on the holds employed by myself or other wrestlers.
 There are many holds which even the novice knows by name. They have been employed ever since wrestling be- came recognized as a sport. l can call half nelson. full nelson. footIock crotch and half nelson, grapevine and scissors on either the body or head. Outside of these I don't believe I would be technically correct in naming the other locks.
 'Wrestlers use different methods in applying various holds. but the funda- mental point is leverage, but if he does not apply his weight and strength on the proper places and at the right time he cannot be termed a successful wrestler. I have met a number of men who were stronger than I, but I beat them because I knew when and where to apply my weight and strength.
 If a wrestler can think and act at the same time he is sure to be success ful. The conservation of energy is an other point which should be borne in mind by the beginner. There is noth- ing to be gained by Jumping around the ring and trying for holds which will not down an opponent"

the argument with the batter would have a hard time in the old days when the foul tip was a foul tip and noth- ing else.'
 The fellow who slides to first and the catcher who persists in yanking the ball down to show the umpire where it came over the plate are two of Moran's pet foes, and neither receives very much consideration at his hands.
 Augie figures. and rightly, that the runner who slides into first does so in the last extremity. believing that he can make the play look so close that he can fool the umpire. when he could probably have reached the base much more quickly standing up. As for the catcher who tries to assist the eye sight of the umpire Augie doesn't tol- crate him at all. and several of the Northwestern backstops have been gently booted for the bush" tactics.

|Cavill Claims He Invented Water Polo

HIRED CAVILL, the veteran swim
 mer. is out with the assertion that he is the inventor of water polo. Ca will by the way. is the father of fam ily of noted swimmers. The game. he says. was born in the Serpentine. He learned to swim in the Serpentine when ten years of age. went to sea when thirteen and served in the Cri- mean war and Indian rebellion. He also asserted that he swam the chan nel in 1877 in 12b hours from Cape Gris-Nez to the South Foreland. but even though he was accompanied by men whose words can be relied upon, the fact that Cavill held a rope while taking refreshment and did not walk out of the water mars the performance.
 Cavfll asserts that he has at times seen 30,0O0 people bathing in the Ser pentine at one time and that the first display of swim ball. or water polo. took place there. member of the famous open water club found large india rubber ball in the park and threw it into the water, and some hundreds of good swimmers made for it and played with the ball for an hour. Ca will adds that it was from that scene that he conceived the idea of intro ducing the game. He was at the time engaged at the West pier at Brighton and in order to carry out his water polo scheme collected more than $500 in prizes and invited the Serpentine club to visit Brighton and take part in the affair They did so and carried away a great many prizes. He adds that from that time water polo became one of the principal attractions on the south coast.
 CaviII, who is seventy three years of

be remembered, stole just four bases in the worlds series.
 There was one game last season in St. Louis where these same Giants stole fourteen bases on Bliss and Win go of the St. Louis Cardinals. People blamed the catcher for not cutting down the runners, but 1t was not his fault; 1t was the man in the middle who was at fault.
 Then there was game Tn New York last season in which the St. Louis Browns participated. When the game was over New York had something like eighteen runs and a like number of stolen bases to it's credit This all came about because the pitcher gave the runner too much of a lead.
 This is the contention of a catcher as we'll as a pitcher, and they ought to know. ''No man can run down to sec ond as fast as a catcher can throw to the middle cushion" is the way Pelty

BASE runners do not steal bases on
 the catcher. That's the contention of Several big league catchers. They are. backed up in this statement by Barney Petty, a pitcher. now of the Washington Americans.
 Whenever a base runner steals, with a few exceptions, 1t Is the fault of the pitcher The pitcher generally gives the runner such a large lead tha no catcher, no matter how good the peg, has chance of mailing his man.
 For example, take the Giants. They stole more bases than any club in either league last season, but look what happened to them in the worlds series. Most people picked the National lea guers to beat the Americans on this one thing alone. With such pitchers as Bender, Plank and Coombs, who keep the runners glued to the bases. they have little chance, The Giants. 1t will

PITCHER QUINN
 TOOK A CHANCE

NOR the first time since he has been
 a member of the Cleveland club Nap Lajoie had the experience of sec ing an opposing pitcher pass his pred ecessor at bat so he could take a chance at Lajoie. It happened in a New York Cleveland game recently. There were two out, with Graney on third and Olson on second. Jackson had already procured a triple and a single Quinn of New York pitched carefully to him this time. t He soon found himself in the hole and rather than try to get the ball over for Joe deliberately pitched two wide ones and passed him, evidently preferring to take chance on Lajoie.
 All Larry did was to drive in three runs,

for the other fellows. One or the other of us seems to have the unhappy fac ulty of kicking the ball or making a bad throw when a perfect play would retire the side.
 There are others just like us Larry LaJoie is very unfortunate in this re- spect. Few and far between are the mlsplays that are chalked against the Frenchman, but the percentage is all against him when he does make @ pebble.
 Every one who knows Larry knows that an error hurts him to the quick. It is bad enough to make the misplay without having the fans boot the un- lucky player. They should bear in mind that any time errors are elimi- mated from the great national game the interest would die and the magnates could rage their s5OO,OO plants"

 to have the majority off the field events CinChed at the Olympic games, there are many foreign experts who believe that the WearerS of the stars and stripes will more than have their hands full winning certain con- tests. Sweden, for instance. ex- poets lemming to carry off the iaveIln throw with ease. Hagan- der is one of the best high jump CTS in Europe, and many believe he will win a place in this event. Aberg has been throwing the hammer in fine style of late and may capture a place in this event. The SwedeS also have a number of good distance runners and expect to carry off the Mara thOn race. Germany is strong in the SprlntS, and the foreign crit iCS believe Rau and Braun will add several winning points to the kaiSeT's team at the 0Iympiad. Finland has a great distance run- ner in KoIhmainen. He is the favOrite for the Marathon. France has a star runner in Jean Bouin. Experts pick him to give our Un- CIe Sam'S men a stiff run in the 10000 meter race. England seems to be weak in many events. MCMiIIan is their best man in the sprints. FIaxman is a consistently good man with the weight and may figure. Corkery is a good broad jumper.

"TOPsY" HARTsEL, the former

 "Of course there are some exceptions to this rule Take, for instance. an in experienced catcher, who fails to get the ball away quickly or makes bad peg to the bag. In this case it could hardly be charged to the pitcher"

 We are forced to remark again, How the mighty have fallen! Only short time ago Cincinnati was prOcIalmlng Hank O'Day the marvel of the age, ana the business men of the city went so far as to make up a subscription list of useful articles, from shoes to auto mobiles, to be given to the players when the team came home with the pennant. But now, while he struggles in the throes of a losing streak, Hank IS experiencing some of the treatment that brought gray hairs and nisglV- ings to Clark Griffith last season. The Redland scribes and fans are trying to run Hanks team for him, and unless he can pilot the Reds into q winning stride again he will soon, like GrifI, not be on speaking terms with the populace at large.
 There are no definite rules for the crediting of victories and the Charg- ing of defeats to pitchers. and this lack of uniform and stipulated method has caused many an argument among ball players, scorers and bugs. The rule generally followed in the minor leagues is to credit or charge the pitcher who takes up the burden with the score a tie.
 Suppose a pitcher leaves the game with the score 4 to in his favor. The relief pitcher holds the foe off and the game is won. The first pitcher would be credited with the victory because he was ahead when he went out. But sup pose the opposition ties up the game at and on the relief slabbist. The first pitcher is then eliminated alto gether, and the relief pitcher gets the victory or the defeat, as the game may
