GRAPPLERS AWAIT
CALL FOR ACTION

Everything is in readiness for the
big wrestling carnival which is
scheduled to take place at the Bijou
Theater tonight. and it is no doubt the
local fans who journey to that place
will be afforded great amusement. The
main go promises to be one of the best
of the graphing matches ever held in
this city. as both men are in the pink
of condition.
Turner. who had his final workout
yesterday. is in fine fettle. Although
a bit lighter than his opponent he will
give Zeraga quite a tussel for the
honors. A handsome purse has been
hung up for the winner in this bout.
SO the public can expect some lively
stunts on the mat before the final fall.
In the preliminaries Young Johnson
is scheduled to meet Kid Marshall, and
as both of these boys have been
worked before at which time they
grappled to a draw. more than tame
varieties of the game will be in evil
dence. Market House Terror will meet
Blue Dick in the other match. and as
these wrestlers have something other
than the match to settle. this too.

pectations Of the officials

coaches gave the University OF Penn

The back field was Murdock at quar-

Ross at half back. and Howard Berry
at full back. Berry has done some
fine kicking in the last few days and

By WILLIAM PEET

Because the Griffmen could as

times at bat, Lee Fohrs Cleveland
Indians won the final game of the
series here yesterday afternoon. to o.
beating Harper and Bert Gallia.
Brenton, a young right-hander. was
the big stumbling block and the much
vaunted Griffithian attack which has
been in evidence the past two weeks
melted before Brenton's spout like an
October frost before a morning sun.
Harry Harper did not allow a hir

productive of as many runs. and away
went the old ball game.
1t was generally supposed that Har-
per had left his wildness in Mime
apolis. but the report must be taken
with a grain Of salt. The Hacken-
sack terror Is still In our midst
Old Punch Lacking.
When it comes right down to cases
there Is no need to blSne Harper or
his successor, Bert Gal.Ia. for yester-
days defeat. The Griffmen acted like
lot of old women at the bat-the
punch never was in evidence.
Washington had three chances TO
push over runs. Sawyer and Mcbride
both walked in the third inning and
were advanced by Harper's bunt.
Barber and Foster might have changed
the complexion Of the game with safe
slams, but the first named grounded
to wamby, and Sawyer was tagged
out at the plate. while Foster was
easy picking. Wamby to Kirke.
With one down In the Nationals half

strikes and Shanks popped to Kirke. an
other chance tossed into the discard
deck.
In the ninth, with two hands down.
Williams was passed and Sawyer singled
to center, but Evans made a sensational
catch of McBrides line smash and the
contest was over.
Indians Win the Game.
The Indians put the game on ice in
the fifth. Smith famed. but Kirke
scratched single to center and Evans
walked. Wamby dumped Texas
Lacquer to left. filling the bases. Har-
per passed Egan, forcing home Kirke.
Brenton famed, but Chapman delivered
his only hit of the game. a single to
right. and this wallop counted Evans
and Wamby.
in the sixth Bert Gallia was on the
slab. and the Texan blanked the enemy
until Rippy Williams dropped Evans
easy foul fly in the seventh. Evans
finally walked, went all the, way to third,
when Mcbride threw out Wamby, and
scored on Egan's safe smash to right
field.
In Clevelands eighth a fancy bit Of
base running by Bobby Roth yielded
run. Roth led off with double. and
