In his match with George Gion at Fort
Collins Monday night One OF tho articles
goes after the Creek in this fashion:
II is not surprising that Nike. Yokcl
refused 10 finish his first match with
Chris Jordan, the Cleveland, Ohio, wres-
tier,
1t is not surprising that Chris Jordan
held out for three hours and thirty six
minutes against Mike Yokel in match
for the middieweight championship.
1t is not surprising that an immense
crowd OF salt Lake City fans yelled 10

when the Finn threw Chris Jordan re-
Gently
1t is not surprising that the police
threatened and finally, with the referee,
did stop the match between George Gion
and Chris Jordan at the Majestic Mon
day night
Jordan gave the dirtIest exhibition OF
wrestling ever seen in this city. IT was
so dirty that the police. several times
threatened to stop the match, the crowd
continued. to voice It's disapproval. and
George Gion, with an oversupply Of good
disposition, would protest against the
| Greeks work. II an effort were being
nado to kill the wrestling game in this
city II could not be improved upon un-
! less Jordan should be brought here for
a second match There is no danger,
| however. as Jordan Is not wanted here
| with his style OF wrestling.
The work OF Jordan was such that
| Gion was compelled TO tako the defen-
| sive. The Canadians face was red
| as lobster from Jordan's hand and arm
| thumb into the hollow under the ear,
! trying to crush the nose, giving pain 10
| the eyes and such tactics were followed
| continually by Jordan When the Greek
| had a chance 10 push he would shove
| Gion into the stage seats. and a one
when he pushed Gion off the stage. Few
! there were who would believe that II
l WAS not intentional. Jordan's arm work
was such that Gion opened his mouth
| In self-protcction and the Creek COM
plaIned that Gion was biting him. but
| this was found 70 be untrue.
The last straw ca me after Referee Roy
| Toiver had issued many warnings and
| Policeman Charles Saunders had an

cause the bout to be stopped. Jordan
deliberately took a jump and butted GIon
| full in the face and knocked him over
into the stage seats. The crowd Jumped
| to It's feet and yelled all manner OF
| threats and the police and officials
| stopped the bout and awarded the match
| to Cion.
| Gion Is a sport and he stated that he

get out Of the way.

Youngsters Must Improve.

Assuming that Toe does remain in the
majors for eighteen years more, he has
to club the horsehide each and every
year from now on until 1881 for an
average around .320.
Cobb and Jackson have a chance to
tie or beat the records made by Lajoio
and Wagner-but the chances are slim,
To equal Wagner s record of seventeen
years as a 800 batter, Cobb must hit
over the 300 mark for the next nine
wears. as Cobb has swatted over 300
only since 1906, averaging only .240 in
mis- first year out.
Jackson, to tie Waguer's record, must
hit 800 or over for the next thirteen
years.
STo beat Lajoie's record of .351 for
eighteen years, Cobb must hit slightly
over $50 each year for the next nine
years, and Jackson must hit around
.34o--which is some job even for slug
gers of such wonderful ability as Tyrus
Cobb and Joe Jackson.
Here is the summary, showing the
years the great quintette have figured
as major leaguers, the number Of games
in which they have participated, the
runs and hits made, and their grand
average:
