New York, March .18.-Chairman Wenck of the New York state athletic commits sion stated today that the arrangements made by the management of Madison Square Garden and the promoters of the Williard-Moran bout, which is to be fought here next Saturday night, are satisfactory in every detail to himself and the other two commissioners.

The Birmingham Athletic club s wrest- ling match for tomorrow night sched- rleG between Tom Draak, the Belgian champion, and Ande-Kandrat the big Russian wrestler, promises to be a bout of unusual class.
 Tom Draak showed in his bout with Farmer" Bayley, which he won in two straight falls, that he is an extra good man. In his workouts at the clubs gym nasium this week he has shown that lie is coming wrestler. Draak is a young man with several years experi- ence and many of the wrestling fans who saw him work predict that, before he leaves the mat he has an excellent chance to throw the best in the game Draak has trained long and hard for this seasons work, and is in the finest pos- sible condition. His work in the inter- national tournament in New York proved that he was worthy of the rating he was given. His clean wrestling with Bayley, and his manly conduct in his workouts this week, has won the favor of the fans.
 Ande-Kandrat is big Russian who repl esented the province of Iithuania, where he was undisputed champion in the international wrestling tournament in New York. His work also placed him among the top notchers. In recent match with Aberg, the Greco Roman

TENNIS STARS ARE NOT PERSONALS
 RULES COMMITTEE
New Rule Will Be Adopted on Amateur Sports at the Next Meeting
 in 1917

New York, March 1S.-The executive committee of the National Tennis asso- ciation today made public proposed new amateur rule to be presented for adop- ton at the annual meeting of the associa- tion in 1917. President G. T. Adee and other officials admitted that the present rule was so ambiguous it would be inn possible, under it, to disbar Maurice E. Mclaughlin, Thomas c. Bundy and w. M. Johnston. the Californians, or F. B. Alexander and Wallace F. Johnson in the east because, of their connection with the sporting goods business
 Two features stand out prominently in the new rule. It aims at the source of violation by prescribing against the pay- ment of expenses to players by clubs giving tournaments unless permission is obtained from the executive committee.
 It prohibits a player engaged in the sporting goods business from competing in any open tournament, match or cham plorship while so employed, but does not declare him a professional. Players may be dtsbarred who permit their names to be used for advertising purposes. These rules are not to become operative until April 1, 1S1S, if accepted at the annual meeting next year.
 President Adee explained that no action whatever was contemplated against play CTS now engaged in the sporting goods business. Ample time was given men to engage in another line of business.
 The executive committee also arranged the schedule of tournaments, which will be issued next week. The list contains 30 more tournaments than any previous year.
 The newly created middle Atlantic sec tional doubles were awarded to the Co., lumbia Country club, Chevy Chase, Md, the Missouri Valley sectional doubles to the St. Louis Amateur Athletic assoca- ton and the Southwestern doubles to the Dallas Lawn Tennis club. Dallas, Tex. The date of June 5, was awarded for the women's championship at the Phila- delphia Cricket club

champion, he wrestled an hour to a draw He has wrestled in this country about two years meeting the best of the big grapplers. One of his first big matches was with Dr. R. F. Roller, the Seattle lowing the tournament in New York, in a feature match, Kandrat won over Hil- mer Johnson, the Pacific coast wrestler Johnson had won 19 bouts in the tourna- ment.
 Kandrat is one of the more speedy wrestlers. While he is big and powerful, he does not rely on his strength alto- gether, but has learned the art of down. ing his opponents by the more scientific route. In this he is often compared with the famous Joe Stecher, who al- ways plans and usually succeeds in throwing his opponent quickly. Kandrat has developed the most effective holds by using a powerful grip with his hands and forearms. When he once clamps a grip on an opponents arm or wrist it cannot be broken except to pry it off. Iris trait of his is feared by all of his opponents.
 The club hopes that by bringing these high class wrestlers to Birmingham, to find a man who is a worthy opponent for such men as .'Strangler" Lewis, Roll CT and Stecher and the other big fellows who will come if promised a strong opponent. The Draak-Kandrat match will be followed by another bout in about ten days when the club will bring an- other big man here to meet the win ner.
