AMERICANS MAY TAKE A
TUG-OF-WAR TEAM ABROAD

NEW YORK, April 2.-The American
Olympic committee has decided to an
thorize a tryout for a tug-of-war team
The try-out will probably be held On
the Pacific coast, where the tug-of-
war is a popular event. If a team is
developed which shows marked ability
and the Olympic fund is large enough
it will be taken along on the Finland
and entered In the official competitions.
The committee has also decided to
hold in>the Middle West some time in
May Olympic try-outs in wrestling in
the Graeco-Roinan style. An expert
committee of Graeco-Roman and catch
as-cateh-can wrestlers will pass upon
these contests. and the Olympic e4in-
mittee will consider entering the vim
ners.

body punches. Both boys were evened
up In the third round. In the last the
skeeter lad came back strong and he
used his two fists to such an advantage
that Pete was pretty well in at the

TIGERS ARE
IN NORFOLK
Ready for Pair of Games With
the Virginia Leaguers.
A Negroes Prophecy.
[From q STAR corr.spoua.rt.l


NORFOLK, Va. April 1.-The Tigers,
4 squad from home and the other
from Petersburg. jumped into this
town today for 2 two-day series with
the local Virginia Leaguers. The
weather was uncertain, but Virginia
weather is a strange thing. It's liable
to rain at 8 o'clock and roast one to
death an hour later. =
You is sho' goin' to win dat pen

Such assurances, ever from such a
source as a tip-seeking waiter are
rather pleasant, especially on a gloomy,
rainy morning, and Lew McCarty de-
clared that he would impart the good
news to Joe McGinnity in hopes that
history will repeat itself. Today.
however, the weather and not
the International League pennant was
under discussion, for the raindrops
were pelting down at a lively clip when
the Bengals opened their yes. One
never can tell about the weather down
here, however, for it may be raining in
one town and s~ssunshining" in another.
Last Friday the local team was pre-
vented from practise by rain. while the
Tigers at Richmond, twenty-five miles
away, got in a contest. The winds arr
very changeahle and when it does rain
it generally dries up quickly. The
nearer the approach to the seaboard
the more frequent the rain.

Only a Midget, but He's Kn ocked Out Middleweig1ts and
Heayyweights with a Punch-Clever, Game and Can Stand
Punishment, So His Countr yrnen Are Beginning to Think
That Maybe Some Day a Worlds Championship Will Come
to Japan-He's Also Won $4,000.

Image, IL you can, a Japanese Who
stands four feet ten inches and weighs
1903 pounds, a boy who can hit like
Fitzsimmons and take punishment like
Iron Man" Joe Grim, and there yol
have a mental picture of Young Togo,
of Japan, the 'yellow peril of tue
prize ring.
Six years ago Togo arrived in this
country with an excellent knowledge
of jiu jitsu, but minus money and
ability to speak the language. He
went to work at the Jonathan Club
In Los Angeles, an organization whose
members rate their worth by the mill
lions instead of thousands. Togo
taught tho wealthy ones jiu jitsu,
pocketed their cash, learned the lam
guage and picked UP a smattering of
boxing from Eddie Robinson. the box
ing instructor and old-time bare
knuckle tighter, who in appearance
resembles a bond clipper instead of an
ex-pugilist.
Robinson undertook his MANAGE
ment when Togo first showed signs Of
prize ring intelligence and matched
him for a t~en-round scrap. He was
knocked down twenty-seven times IN
three rounds, but managed to finish on
his feet. He retired until his jaw
should lose It's soreness. Next he
bobbed UP on a transforming trip,
during which he pitted his Jiu Jitsu
against boxing and wrestling. Out of
s19 matches he won 81. His opponents
used anything from rough-and-tumble
tactics to scientific boxing.
His jaw having recovered from the
twenty- seven Rnockdown punches,
Togo next wandered into the ring to
try himself out. He them licked
twenty-five opponents via the knock
out route in twenty-seven fights,
among whom was Harry Forbes, ex-
worlds bantamweight champion, who
lost a decision. He beat Harry sc bad
that it took him several days to got
his face back into shape. Forbes mad
previously scored a shadow victory
over Johnny Coulon, though it was lot

In all his fighting career he has never
bothered about how much his opponent
outweighed him. Big Gypsy, a 1861

been licked, agreed TO stop Togo in Is
rounds. In the second round a left
