MULDOON CONDEMNS
USE Of TOEHOLD
Says 1t Is Borrowed From Jiu
Jitsu and Has No Place in
Legitimate Wrestling.
AGITATION MAY KILL 1T
Continued Fight by Such Men as Mul-
doom Against Practice Is Likely
to Have Its Effect.
By w. w. Naughton.

San Francisco, April 11.-No less a
parsonage than Chilly" Muldoon-he
to whom the wrestling game has been
but a memory since the days of Clar-
ence Whistler, Tom Cannon and Matsa-
da SOrakichi-takes exception to the
toe hold," the fond embrace with
which Champion Frank Gotch subdues
the foreign strong men who descend
upon this country occasionally.
Muldoon says the toe hold should be
eliminated from the sport: that it is as
much out of place in wrestling bout
as boxing gloves would be in golf
tourney.
According to Muldoon the toe hold is
borrowed from jiu jitsu, the Japanese
pastime, and it only differs from blood
less surgery in the respect that the
latter has for its purpose the curing of
humanity, while the toe hold is employ
ed to main or cripple.
There are others beside Muldoon who
think that the toe hold should be
abandoned. But coming right down to
it there isn't grip or lock used by
the mat men that partakes OIL the ma
ture of tender caress.
Take the hammerlock for instance.
This is considered legitimate enough by
wrestlers, but, like the toe hold, it
threatens its victim with twisted liga.
ments, and maybe wrenched bones, if an
attempt is made to hold out against it
Gotch has made speciality of the toe
hold and that is why he is able to EN-
ploy it with such dire results. 1t is ia
him what the strangle hold was to
Stranger Lewis twenty years ago. The
strangle hold has been placed under the
ban and when men like Muldoon begin
to agitate against the toe hold it is
very likely to find its way into the dis
card.

Another Version of Drowning.

The following article was received hy The Star. IL is the story of the drowning of Sweeney Harper near Egger last week. as told by wit uesses:
 Wc the undersigned, will try to give you a true statement in regard to the death of Sweeney Harper While fishing with the undersigned and others. Sweeney spoke to one of the boys that was close to him and said he would have to swim, as the water was about shoulder deep. and he started off in about the same direction we were going. One of the boys told him to come back, and then others spoke 10 him two or three times, but he made no answer. When he had gone 20 or 30 feet he went under the water. He raised his hand once or twice and shook his head. but made no attempt to come 10 the top of the water. Four of the boys went 10 the rescue, but when we got to him he was apparently dead. We took him to the shore and there worked with him until he began to stiffen. When we saw that we had done all we could, we started to make ar engagements to carry the body home, not thinking that with as many witnesses it was necessary to hold an inquest. Signed,
