THOMPSON READY FOR GO
Gust Papas, Barefoot Wrestler, Puts
on Some Exhibition and May
Meet Jesse.

Fifteen pounds advantage in weight
gave Jesse Slaymaker, the Albany far
mer, just enough advantage over Shor-
ty Gamble Of Burlington, to allow him
70 win the match at the Illinois the
atre in double quick time last night
and thereby hang another defeat on
Shortys enviable record. There was
some sort of agreement between the
wrestlers to make 145 pounds, but
Jesse tipped the beam before the au-
dience at 1861 pounds, while Gamble
only made 141- A half nelson and
crotch did the business for the first
fall in 12:13. The second fall was &C
complished In just five minutes with a
full body hold. During the second fall,
Gamble secured a head lock and il
looked as though he would make 1t a
20, but his weight was insufficient and
the bald pate Of the Albany lad-he's
IS years old-slipped through the lock.
slaymaker is fast. knows the game and
has the weight. Gamble, just as short
as his cognomen implies. knows as
much about the game. There is no
doubt but what he can handle
anyone within FIVE pounds of
his weight, for he is a husky fellow.
SOME EXHIBITION.
OF all exhibitions ever put on at
the Illinois. that furnished by Gust
Papas, a Greek wrestler from Montre-
al, Canada, and Yussif Hussane, a
Turk grappler from Boston, was the
best ever. Papas, weighing l61 pounds
in his street clothes, had il on Yus-
sif in strength, size and everything
else and had he wanted, could have
toppled the lighter man at any mo-
ment AS IL was, he secured holds on
the Turk which made him writhe in
anguish during the / , minutes Of the
20. He is the first wrestler who has
come on this season at Rock Island as
barefoot wrestler. He possesses a
19-inch neck, which is some neck for a
man Of his weight. Papas will proba
bly, be matched up with Slaymaker for

hard at every possible opportunity
and as soon as the match is arranged,
will be ready TO put on the finishing
touches and step onto the mat in his
old-time form.

and to Remember

The of Crude oil and the lowest grades of Fuel oil has
long anticipated the final solution of the problem of
dng to n minimum the of producing practical and efficient
motive power Recognizing this fact thousands Of technical and
mechanical experts have given the subject their deepest study and
thousands of dollars have been spent in experimenting
Heretofore engines have been constructed in The most compile
Gated and intricate forms cabuctors and other
ary attachments being used in connection with most of them

plishcd little more than sorrowful failures
After years of study and experiment profng by failures of
the past became recognized that had positively and concu
svcy solved the battling problem. when the first Munce Oil En-
zine left factory six We now offer to You the
engine which is the economical solution of the power problem
In Munce Engine presented the first successful engine
designed crude OIL and with the arrival of this engine be-
gan a new era in the production of power
Without hesitation recommend the Munce Oil Engine to

The Muncic Engine gives power less fuel, and
cheaper fuel, than any other engine on the market
The Muncie engine having fewer moving parts naturally
has less friction load than any other engine. 1t is likewise

No Gears or Cams to cause expense.
No troublesome lgnitcr to be- adjusted
No Coal to haul or Ashes to remove.
No Spark Boxes or Spark Plugs used
No Valves to rcgrind or Levers to break.
No Magnctos or Dynamos to be- repaired
No Special Preparation of the oil whatever
