LITTLE PROGRESS ON
THE TARIFF MEASURE
Grape Juice Diplomacy and

emf Plan According TO Sen.
Sherman.


WASHINGTON. Aug. s. - Demo-
Gratis made slow progress Thursday
in advancing the new tariff bill. An
opposing speech by Sen Warren. re-
publican. a long and sharp debate be-
tween Senators Stone and Lippi;t
over the making Of the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff law. and an attack by Sen.
Sherman mon provisions OF the metal
schedule took up much of the day.
Sen. Sherman opposed the 10 per
cent rate on cast wheels in the bill.
saying it meant ruin TO American
manufacturers for the benefit of those
in England and Germany. Review
ing exports OF wheels from the coun-
try last year, he said:
Not a dollars worth was exported
TO China in 1912 and it is reasonable
to suppose that not a dollars worth
will be exported in 1913. Instead OF
dollar diplomacy in the far east with
thousands Of dollars worth of goods
sold there VIC now have grape iuice
diplomacy and the sale OF nothing"
Sen. stone brought up the question
OF who furnished the facts for the
cotton schedule OF the Payne-Ald-
rich bill. He quoted at length from
speech in May. 1903, of the late
Sen. Dolliver. in which it was charged
that Sen. Lippitt-not in public life
had come TO congress representing the
New England cotton men with the
statement that they wanted no in
creases and had gone away with ma
terial increases.
Sen. Lippitt said the democrats
were acting like "cuttlehsh" and that
his expose Wednesday OF the cotton
schedule in the present bill made
them anxious 20 discredit him.
Sen. Stone said the dominant note
OF the party in power was down with
the farmer"

CORNELL GRAPPLERS
DEFEAT THE M|DD|ES
New Workers Given Hard Bat

ID, on Points.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, February 22-By
the close score of 16 to IA points. and 4
to bouts. the Midshipmen wrestlers
lost to the grapplers of Cornell University
in dual meet this afternoon. Otherwise
the Middies would have had clean slate
of four victories for the sporting events
of the holiday, having bested their oppo-
nents in basket ball. swimming and fenc-
ing earlier in the day.
None of the four bouts won by the
Comedians was the result of a. fall, the
decisions having been awarded for ag-
gressiveness. On the contrary. two of the
three victories scored by the Middies were
decided by falls. The visitors, however.
displayed keen knowledge of the wrestling
game.
Probably the most interesting of the
bouts was that between Lewis, Cornell.
and Babbitt, Navy, in the 135-pound class.
Lewis kept his opponent on the de-
fensive most of the time. and had the
Navy man in tight places on several occa-
sions, but was unable to pin his shoulders.
Davis. Navy, did some clever work in the
115-pound event. when he threw Tesse-
nary, Cornell, in a little less than six
minutes. The heavyweight bout between
Howe, Navy, and DAVIDSON, Cornell,
proved comparatively easy for the Navy
man, who gained a fall in less than two
minutes by use of the hammerlock. In
striking contrast was the physique of
these two contestants Howe is sturdily
built, standing about five feet ten. and
weighs 200 pounds. while Davidson, OF
about the same weight, Is tall and wiry,
standing six feet two inches.
In the 145-pound event, Culbertson.
Cornell, and Hoops, Navy. did nothing
but spar for the nine-minute limit of
the bout. Neither left his feet. but the
Navy man got the decision on points.
Frank Lynch. the well known wrestler,
refereed the bouts
The summary:
115 pounds-Davis Navy. won from Tessenary;
Cornell. in ) minutes IS seconds. Fall secured
by half Nelson and body hold.
12o pounds-Boak. Cornell. won from Dupre,
Navy decision for most aggressive work.

men smuggling each other savagely In
the fifteenth round Wolgast rushed out
like a lion and brought the crowd to
its feet by his left and right blows to
the body.
1t looked as though he had Tommy
going, but the Harlem lad was pure
grit, and came back strong, finishing the
better of the two.
In the sixteenth. after fierce mix
up, Wolgast was forced through the
ropes, but he was helped back. and
when the rally was over Tommy's left
eye was closed tight.
In the twentieth both boys cut loose,
and the round was a superb exhibition
of Queensberry lighting at it's best Ad

the end he received a stiff left to the
jaw which almost knocked him out. He
hung on and lasted out the round. and
his pluck and dpgged obstinacy in this
pinch possibly won him the draw.

fight. but it proved that Wolgast has

STRONG WRESTLING BUNCH.
Memorial Athletic Club Expects to
Cleanup at National Guard Meet.

The Memorial Athlete Club intends to
make things interesting for its COM
petitors in the wrestling tournament that
will be held by the National Guard this
week. This organization recognizes
wrestling as one of it's leading sports
and has been one of the strongest sup
porters of the mat game in these parts.
This hustling aggregation has never
failed to qualify men, and has
always been in the running up to the
finish. and from all indications this year
promises to he a banner one. According
to Coach Foley he has more and better
material on hand at present than any
previous year. These men are training
hard and are fast rounding into shape.
in the heavyweight class the clubmen are
placing their hopes in Sherrier, big
husky blacksmith, and it is pretty safe
to say that this man Will walk away with
this class. In the 14J and 1JS classes
Waters Cruit and Kellogg will be entered.
Little is known of these men. but they
will make il hot for any that they go
up against. AS usual this club is eX-
ceedlngly strong in the 135-pound class,
such men as Connolly the south Atlantic
champion; MayheW, the District cham
pion: Beckert and Hillary, Will carry the
Memorial colors. These men could easily
furnish an evenings entertainment by
themselves, and it viii be interesting to
see which one of these men will wade
through the bunch of local mat artists
at this weight Johnson Will be seen III
the l2J-pound class. This boy is a vet
eran at the game and no further comment
is needed Goucher and Freene at 12O
pounds will make any of them hustle.
Goucher is without Z; doubt the fastest
little man ever seen in this city, and
with his knowledge of the game it is hard
to see where any of the boys of the
local clubs will be able to hail him.
Marshall, Santiti and Madigan will be
entered in the 1lJ-pound class 1t Is
,la,,.. .t..f, will ln
honor at this weight within the Me-
mortal fold. Coach Foley's kid brother
Will represent the Georgetown contingent
in the 10J-pound class. This younSster
shaws all the earmarks of a coming
champion and Will bear watching. With
this team Coach Foley is willing to meet
any similar aggregation in the country in
a dual contest, and, while not claiming
honors beforehand. he says that he ex-
poets them TO sweep clean all Journeys
that they enter.

these two contests will be played owing
