INJURY HALTS FAST
MATCH AT LYCEUM
Louis Montana Tears Ligament in
Side in Bout with John
Kilonis.

The fastest and toughest wrestling
match OF the season was halted las,
night IN the third bout when Louis Mon,
tanO strained a ligiment in his right
side in the match with the Greek mid
dle-weight champion. John Kilonis.
From the first call OF time the grap-
piers roughed It to the limit, and the
big crowd was continually in an uproar
Kilonis, by his sensational head spins
and bridges, got out OF many tight places,
while Montana was equally as fast and
as hard to pin.
The italian grarpler secured the first
fall after twenty-nine minutes Of the
greatest work ever seen in this city. by
getting leg hold on Kilonis, who
wrestled minus his shoes. Kilonfs came
back to the mat with a rush when the
second bout started. and lost no time
getting after Montana.
The italian was fooled into allowing
kilonis to get a body lock. and before
the crowd was aware OF what was hap
rening on the stage, the Greek had pin
ned .Montano's shoulders to the mat
When Referee Pat O'Connor started
the men in the third bout. Montana be-
gan roughinE II. and was cautioned
twice, but did not stop his butting and
hitting. kilonis got a body lock. and
with Montano's head on the mat. put all
MS weight on one size, thus throwing
Montano's body IN position from
which the Italian was unable to extri-
cate himself. and only gave UP when a
ligtment in his side was strained to such
an extent that he tainted
Kflonis wrestled a fast. but clean
match, and won many friends He will
make Washington his home in the fu-
ture. and will meet the best middle
weights in the world, none barred. Young
Olsen has challenged Kilonis. and the
Greek wired him last night that. if a
suitable purse was offered, the match
would suit him. Olsen is one of the best
middle-weight Rrapplers, and this match
should prove to be hummer should Il be
arranged. Tom Hughes. Alva Williams.
and Eddie Ainsmith. of the Nationals,
were the official timekeepers OF the even

while the majority of last seasons team
is available.
Happy Mess. the sensational receiver Of
the high school series last season. will
again be behind the bat for the Blue and
White. with Capt McDonough In one OF
the outfield positions. Fair and Sweeney,
of last years team. will be candidates for
infield positions. and with 4 world OF
others to draw from Central should have
a corking good team this season.
Capt McDonough will have the men
out as soon as possible. as he is anxious
to get away to a flying start. The o
Streeters will more than likely practice
at the r. X. Y. NJ. c. A. League dia-
mond this spring, where Tech worked out
last summer. As Central is the last OF
the schools to make its appearance In the
scholastic series. Coach Sprigman will be
able to let the boys move along at a

BARROW DENIES HIS
PLAYERS ARE ON STRIKE
International League President Say,
Jersey City Team Is Only Club
with Unsisned Men.

New York. Feb. 2I.-Edward Barrow.
president of the International League.
emphatically denied yesterday that there
is n strike among the players Of his or
Ranization against the salary limit. He
declared that the majority of the clubs
In the league had contracts with prac-
tically all the players signed. the only
exception being the Jersey City club,
which. owing TO the delay in closing the
deal with Thomas A. Fogarty. sent out
its contracts only q few days ago.
There was no opposition On the part
Of any OF our club owners to the adop-
ton OF the present salary limit" said
Mr.. Barrow. They all realized that the
salary lists of several clubs were en-
tirely too high Not only were the play
ers getting all the money. but several
OF the teams had become SO much
stronger than the others that It was nee
essary to make some move to equalizs
the playing strength of the league. That
the adoption Of a uniform salary limit
will help to bring this about in a short
time 1 haven't the least doubt It may
not come this year. but by next season
the good effects are sure to be seen and
felt"
