JCAREZ. Mexico, February 2V.-Ir is
not, probable that in all North Amer
lea could there have been picked out
more appropriate setting for the
coming battle for the world heavy
weight championship. When Jess. Will
lard and Jack Johnson face one an
other in the ring in Juarez March 6
the natural scenery for this primitive
encounter will be beyond artificial
Improvement.
The twelve and fifteen story Office
buildings and modern business blocks
of FL Paso, Tex, look down upon the
drab splotch Of flat-roofed. one-story
adobe houses, the crooked streets and
winding alleys that make up the Mex
lean city just over the river.

For the man who enjoys an occa-
sional permission to dine in his shirt

tioa-sickened human being who is not
thoroughly convinced about the incon-
venience OF the cave man-for such a
man Juarez should be the mecca of
his next ataVistic excursion.

They live fast in Juarez-they burn

exile from his conscience-he will not

ever crowded. one staff of entertain

to be sampled by all comers.

So far as the Braves are concerned,
they seem to be assured of repeating.
for the team is stronger than ii was
because Of the acquisition of Sherwood
Magee, and it will not have any real
opposition from the teams i'll the
league. which are all weaker than
they have been. If judged on paper.
But in the American League it is diff
ferent. Tru&. the Athletics seem to have
been elimink ted. but there are several
other teams which appear to be
stronger than they We're and are there
fore apt to be more troublesome. This
is true of New York, Cleveland and
Chicago and perhaps Detroit, for all
the Tigers need is an improved pitch
ing staff to be real contenders in the
race.
Washington stands good chance of
being stronger. Griffith has every rea-
son to look for better pitching than he
had last season and it also is possible
that the batting will be stronger. If
the Red Sox win they will have a
harder time of it than the Mackmen
have had for several years. The Car
rigan team, Notwithstanding it's nat
ural strength, will have to be on edge
every foot of the way in order to win,
for the going is sure to be tough in
the coming campaign.
Ramrio Seiglie is the name of the
second baseman of the Havana, Cuba
Reds. He is hitting .345 in the Cuban
League, and has proved so clever a
ball player that he has been recon
mended to Manager Griffith, who may
sign him.
Victor MunoZ, sporting editor of T.
Mundo, is sponsor for the youngster
and it is very likely that. Griffith will
take u chance and sign him.
Connie Mack is quoted as believing
that the world series will be played in
Boston next fall. Here is what he has
said On the subject:
Il thought Barry was II great short
stop, but Maranvilie is in class by
himself. Evers probably knows base
ball as we'll as any man who ever
played the game"
He talks of the way the Braves
worked together last season, saying
as individuals they might not have
shown as well as some other teams

Special Dispatch The Star
CHICAGO, February 20.-Marin Pies
tina, Austrian heavyweight wrestler, has
been appearing in this country for four
years. During the last few days he read
that Ed White. the promoter. had de-
clared the mat game in Chicago to be
crooked This afternoon Plestina volun-
tarily confessed his part in what he says
was fake and crooked wrestling.
Plestina is the man who caused u near
riot in the Haynarket Theater recently
by defeating James Esson. the Scotch
mat and glove artist. He declares he
was forced to agree to flop to Esson be-
fore lie would be given the match and
that when he Crossed his opponent and
won match he was supposed to lose
he did not get his full share of the per-
centage.
He won this match III straight falls
and the two were rema atched-not, how :
ever, until Plestina put up s25, his share
of s7S. for winning the first match, as a
guarantee that he would "lay down." he
says.
Again Plestiha threw Esson in straight
falls and the spectators went wild. But
it cost Plestina s125 the sum he would
have won if he had topped he says,
and he had II hard time even to get his
forfeit OF $25.
Told He Must Lose.
They tell me I must lose said Pies
tina. "I want the match. but want to
win because | am best man. Like Gotch.
1 keep cool and win and then they say
you must wrestle him again. They give
me $25 for the first time. but make me
put it up that will not win again.
"Esson, he tried hard. but 1 throw
him again. two times. with toe holds. I
am best man. so win. If l had to lose
I would get more money, but 1 want to
wrestle honestly.
Nearly all wrestlers will be on the
square if promoters no tell them to lose
All want to win, but can't wrestle if
they want to beat promoters men,"
Ed White, the former promoter. who
started the wrestling exposure. was in
formed of Plestina's confession.
I'm not surprised" said White. There
will be others. ] believe the wreStlers
themselves are glad of the opportunity
to clean up the game.

of the sisal crop, from which most
of the harvest binding twine used in

The people OF Yucatan, they as
