Stories have been printed lately that

who made Qri:e hit in this country two
years ago. had not been killed in the

would indicate that Mahmout really was
killed:

and others, that he engaged Mahmout as
a sort of watchdog and protector. an

London Paper Discredits
Story That Mahmout Is Alive

during the late war. He was sent to
town TO get money to pa soldiers and on
his way back to camp was slain by six
bandits. He WAS to have been married
after serving out his enlistment.
When in Cincinnati several years ago,
Mahmout, through ar Interpreter. told
many thrilling tales OF how the managers
Of wrestlers promoters. and others seek
ing new material in Bulgaria and Turkey
have to tight before they can get their
men out of the country. He said that the
best wrCstlers CFme from the mountain
districts, and whenever an athlete gained
fame, the bandits would lay plans to hold
up the managers who ventured into the
hills to see the wrestlers work. on the
way from the scene Of the trials the
bandits would hold up the party and
make the managers shell out a nice bunch
of coin. This experience happened to
nearly all the bulgarian wrestlers who
came to this country.
But Antonio Pierre told a somewhat
different tale when he brought Madrali
to England TO wrestle HackenSchmidt.
According to the Terrible Greek be-
fore he could get Madrali away he had to
deposit a big sum as security with some
high official of the government that the
man OF his choice would return champion
Of the world. and in the event OF not
bringing the championship with him.
poor Madrali might probably be decapi-
tated by order Of his majesty the Sultan.

OXFORD MAY RESClND
NEW ATHLETIC RULE
British Writers Refer to Restrictive
Clause as Unnecessary and
"Grandmotherly."

II is probable that the recent resolu-
tons passed by the oxford University
Athletic Club regarding the Rhodes schoI-
ars will be remodeled. The authorities
have aroused a storm OF criticism. and
the majority OF the oxford University
students consider them ''grandmotherIy''
and at the same time childish" Such
strong opposition has been aroused that
the unfortunate wording of the resolu-
tion will he changed in the near future.
II is generally felt in English athletic
circles that II the object was merely to
protect the English school athlete from
unequal competition, 1t could haze been
attained by the imposition OF an age
limit all around. II is frankly admitted
that the resolution was passed simply
because the Rhodes scholars swept the
boards at this years oxford freshmen's s
sport. and II is considered as a re1ec-
ton on English athletic ability
The advisability Of adopting a stand
ard sensible age limit has received con-
siderable support, and the plan favored
is that no competitor shall exceed the
age of twenty in the freshmen's sports.
while the age limit in university sports
is placed at twenty four. This latter age
would apply TO the inter university sports
between oxford and Cambridge. 1t would,
however, be necessary to obtain the con-
sent Of Cambridge TO the latter PROPOSE
tion.
Many OF the prominent British athletic
writers refer To the restrictive clause as
arousing unnecessary fears and condemn
il as a folly. They say the English un-
dergraduate is able to hold his own with
the American Rhodes scholars and pro-
fess to have no cause to worry in this

UNIQUE UMPIRNG
RECORD FOR EVANS
Goes Through an Entire Season With
out Trouble and Fails to
Bench a PLAYER.

Billy Evans. the handsome and popular
officiator of the American League, is said
by many TO be the best baseball umpire
in the world.
Last summer he made a new record in
umpiring. Throughout the whole season
he didn't bench one player, an achieve
ment that had never before been equaled.
Nor is Evans 2 mild, retiring little person.
II is not his wont to let players do the
Castle walk of his vertebrae column the
while he lays dormant This is not the
reason why he sent no player to the dug
out last summer.
All American League ball players have
such respect for Evans judgment and
like him 50 well that il would scarcely
occur to them to question his arbitrations.
He does make mistakes. Of course But
when he does he isn't kidded about it by
the players and they don't try to get his
goat. They all know better than to try
to peddIe Billy a line Of con. Evans and
the players understand one another per-
fectly, and there is seldom the least quib-
bing.
Billy Evans has had seasons of dis
quietude. There have been times when
he found il necessary to jerk his thumb
in the direction Of the clubhouse He
hasn't always had the esteem of the play
ers that he has today. A few seasons ago
he broke another record quite unlike the
one mentioned above, when he benched
seven players in that many days. But he
has shown the boys that he's always on
the level and they're for him in body.
