With tears in his voice, Berlow ex-
planned how terrincally brutal the
Bakley match was. He admitted that
he had done some butting with his
head and that he was not lamb, by
any means, but when he recited the
many foul and furious acts of his
adversary tears came into his eyes.
He said he was in bed for two days
after the contest; that his body was
badly lacerated, his legs were lame
and his head was split open. If such,
gentle reader, was the condition Of
Mr.. Berlow, the winner, after the
match, what. then, must have hap
pened to Bakley. the loser? Well.
according to Beriow Bakley is still
in bed and his bruises are many and
painful.

Wrestling is a very suspicious game,
and 1 don't go very much on it, es-
peclally those strictly local bouts
on which big money is bet. Fakes OF
the rawest type have been perpe-
trated on the Newark public, but
through timely warnings the takers
have not been able to get away with
many fortunes. The peculiar thing
about wrestling is that it is most diff
ficult to discover n fake. The best
test in the past has been that the
rougher and more brutal the match
the bigger the fake. A professional
wrestling bout, strictly on the level
is invariably a slow and monotonous
contest The takers give the specta.
tors a great run for their money. and

know a thing about the Berlow-
Bakley wrestling match. It might
have been as pure as the driver

q lot of money was bet on the out
come, and I also know that neither OF
these men has sufficient wrestling
ability to call for such big wagers

as he rode around the track and he
waved the flowers and bowed his ac-
acknowledgements even more to those
who were Missing him than to those
who cheered him. 1t was no fault OF
Goullet if Kramer rode a poorly
judged race and really, if kick were
coming, Goullet had much the better
right to protest. He was the leader
with Kramer on his wheel, yet Gren-
da, who was supposed to be his
friend, made him race like a good
fellow for a full two laps. If Kramer
had been in front and Goullet had
been on his wheel and Grenda had
perpetrated the same "offense' the
champion would have sworn that
Grcnda was forcing him TO go in or
der to allow Goullet to come out in
the final strides and beat big Steve
to the tape. From any angle you may
fisure Goullet won the bike race on
his merits He went to Kramer after
the race and told the champion that
he had no understanding with
Grenda and Kramer, I know, must
feel the same way about it. Goullet
said afterward that he didn't want
Kramer to think he had teamed with
Grenda against him, but he couldn't
help what the fans thought.
G.
The fans should know that Goullet
is some bike rider when he is in shape
and he appears to be rounding into
form. He has beaten Jackie Clark
times without number and he has
beaten "Old Steve" Kramer in open
race. in handicap race and in in
dividual French style match race.
He hasn't been petted and babied and
pampered as have some of the other
stars. but Goullet you will find before
the season is over is great rider
and he will beat them all now and
then

SKYSCRAPER IN 1901"
Structure Planned by Jacques Per-
ret Never Was Erected,

In 1901 Jacques Perret, an architect liv-
ing in Chambery. Savoy, designed build
ing that, although it was never erected.
may properly claim to be the ancestor of
the modern skyscraper. What vision
airy dreamer must have been the archi-
tect who, 300 years ago. planned an
eleven-story building, 361 feet in height
almost half as tall as the tallest building
in New York.
According to Perret's measurements the
building was to be 1866 feet long and 14O
feet broad. And the walls We're to have
been more than twelve feet thick. But in
1901 the methods of building construction
were by no means SO modern as Perret S
plans; twelve-foot walls were none too
thick to support eleven stories. Here.
again, however, the ingenuity of the archi-
tect showed itself, for he found a way to
make use of the walls without weakening
their strength. I'm the thickness of the
walls" he wrote, "are little stairways,
cabinets and cupboards, from the bottom
floor to the top floor. Thus there is no
space wasted
Evidently the building was designed for
neutrality-suspicious. an apartment house,
for. in describing his project, Perret
wrote: This great and excellent editice
can accommodate comfortably five hun
bred people
Considering the date of the design, the
project of Jacques Perret was, in many
ways. a remarkable prophetic vision. In
ornateness of detail and in fanciful eN-
aggeration, the building suggests the six
tenth century, but, in its general lines,
it represents much later period in archi-
lecture. Like the modern skyscrapers, it
has tower above the main building And
when he designed the terraced roof, did
jacques Perret dream OF roof garden?

tractors detailed estimate of the cost,

The plan resembles crazy quilt with
a pattern of hooks and bays" and
seats. But the full note of bad taste and
irrational design is sounded in the per
spective view of the living ROOM
Here we have a baronial in the new
art style" which, if executed in modest
materials of the size depicted in the gen
erous perspective" would total as much
as the estimated cost of the villa and
rapidly induce "dementia Americana" in
the unfortunate occupant. The pictures
themselves would merit no serious atten-
ton We're it not for the accompanying
detailed estimate of cost" Here is prac-
ticed the most braZen deception.
OF what possible value are these figures
without a specification? Allowing that
the prospective owner succumbs to the
pictorial anesthetic and actually believes
that the thing before him could become a
home let US examine the estimate. First,
