OF bank directors. They have sue

their policy is expansion and they
expand by breaking the banking
laws. Their president is an exem-

success when banking was, as he puts
it, gentleman's business and not a

the game as it is played today and
so leaves the conduct of the business

is his own son, Wilbur Emerson. Will

BACK
TO MEET BROWN
Cyclone" Tommy Persuaded
to Try to Bring Tri- City
Laurels Home.
TO BE BIG MATCH OF YEAR
Waterloo Grappler Stands Undefeat-
ed-Lony Page May Be Matched
Up for Prelims.

Cyclone Tommy" Thompson of
Rock Island is to meet Carl Brown
of Waterloo in finish match, best
two out of three falls, at the Illinois
theatre, Wednesday evening, March 6.
Brown, an indicated Iowa wres-
tier, has thrown all corners this sea-
son. He has toppled every grappler
that has been sent to Waterloo from
the tri-cities. First he took on Har-
ry Brondell, the Davenport idol and
tri-city favorite, and threw him two
straight falls. This was a big sur
Prise to the natives. Next he tack
led Lucas Lampiris, a tricky young
Greek grappler, well known in local
mat circles, and not only threw him
in two straight falls, but broke two
of his ribs. His third victim was
George Nicholson, the Greek demon,
whom he pinned twice last Friday
night Ever since the Brondell
match, the tri-city wrestling fans
have been anxious to see Brown, and
now that he has tossed both Lam
piris and Nicholson, they are more
anxious than ever to see the Water
loo grappler in action.
THOMPSON TO COME BACK.
But the question which confronted
the management was: Who will be
fit opponent for Brown? Brondell
! is out of condition on account of his
sore ear and a return ENGAGEMENT
with him as one of the principals
was out of the question. There was
no one but Tommy Thompson really
eligible, and Thompson had declared
that he had permanently retired
! from the game. After a several
hours conference, Tommy was made
to realize that it was up to him tc
come back" for this one match and
bring back to the tri-cities the laurels
that had been taken from them. Fl.
nally he agreed to go on for thi:
bout, and the hopes of the three cit
les cling to him. He will begin ac
tive training at once. An impartia
referee will be selected. Strong pre-
liminaries will be offered. Lony Page
who is a great favorite, will probabl!
appear in the semi-windup if he cal
be suitably matched.
