7win Offering Split; New Pitcher IS Signed
Fans Speculate on Holds
 Which Ed LeWiS WiU Try
With Headock Barred Lewis is Placed in Difficult Position Freberg Confident He Has Improved Defense and Will
 Throw the Strangler-Seat Sale Large

With everything in readiness for what will probably be the most thrill ing and spectacular wrestling match of the series offered this year between Ed C"Strangler") Lewis and John Ere berg, with the headlock barred, specu- lation among wrestling fans natural ly turns to what hold Lewis will find most effective against the Swede.
 Fans who saw the match when the two met recently will recall that Lewis exhausted every hold in his repertoire before resorting to the flying head lock, with which he finally was suc- cessful in downing the great swede grappler. Lewis apparently was baf- fled by the tremendous strength of his opponent and it was only when he in- voked the deadliest hold ever de- veloped by a wrestler, surpassing even those figured out by Dr. Roller in his prime, that the swede toppled over senseless.
 That Lewis realizes the enormity of the task before him is shown by the reluctance with which he consented to a return match and at the same time consented to bar the headlock.
 Friends of Lewis predict that he will devote most of his attention to Ere berg's legs, and they expect him 10 use the toehold with deadly effect. Freberg's packers respond to this by claiming that the match with Zbyszko taught Freberg a lesson, and that no has corrected those points in his style which left his pedal extremities vul- nerable to attack. F'reberg, it is known, has been training assiduously for the bout tonight, and both men are in tip-top shape to put up the bat tie of their lives. It is the ambition of every wrestler in the game to pin the shoulders of Strangler Lewis to the mat and to feel the giant Kentuck- ian wriggling helplessly in their grasp. This ambition, be it said in passing, is one realized by very, very few men, and none in the last few years, and all indications are that monster crowd will be present to see him make the attempt
 The seat sale for the match opened yesterday morning under the most au- spicious circumstances. Ringside seats were disposed of in large blocks, several patrons who have been reg ular attendants, taking as high as 15 or 20. It was announced through error that the seat sale would start Monday morning instead of Tuesday morning, and the widespread interest in the match was indicated by the fact that the Jefferson theatre phone was ring ing necessarily throughout Monday, and long lines of people formed out

TENNIS TOURNEY
 STARTS SATURADY
 FOR SENIOR GROWN
Second Annual Tourney for Cosby Trophy Will Start Saturday Afternoon on
 Y. M. c. A. Courts

The tennis committee of the Y M. c. A., composed of L. A. Brooks as chairman; W. T. Warren, Gordon Sparks. Richard Mccoy, R. L. Lange and R. E. Mitchell, physical director, met yesterday at noon annual tennis tournament for the Cosby trophy from July 2S to August 4. The first tourney, which was held last year for the Cosby trophy was one of the largest ever held in the district.
 There were 73 different men entered in the single and doubles tournament.
 The tournament which is to be launched next Saturday will not include the dou- bles. They will be played the last of August. R. L. Lange won the champion ship last year and won one leg on the trophy If he can turn the trick again the cup will become his property. He will have a hard task to defend his title against the great number of aspirants this year. Lange is a much more diffi- cult man to defeat than he appears to be. his great speed and overhead game giving him an advantage. He and Mere dith Roberts are two of the fastest men ever seen on a Birmingham court.
 The dope will no doubt receive shock when the youngsters who have just gone through a tournament match their skill with the older players. Mccoy, Smith, Blake, McWane. Harrison and a few others will give a good account of them selves Among some of the older players who will be in the running for the trophies are Brooks, who is always con tender, and one of the best natural play CTS in the south; w. T. Warren, who made an excellent showing in the tour nament recently held at Chattanooga; Blake, Roberts Johnston and Drennen, who have weathered a number of cotton states tournaments
 The trophies offered by the Y. M c. A. includes the Cosby cup, a gold medal and a silver medal for the runner-up.
 Entries will be taken today by R. E. Mitchell at the Y. M. C. A. All entries must be in by Friday evening. The first round will be played Saturday after noon. Entry fee will be 25 cents.

Preacher Perryman was given his un- conditional release by Manager Moles- worth yesterday and Pitcher Milliken was added to the Baron hurling corps. The new hurler comes from the Pitts burg Pirates, and will report to Moley and be signed today.
 Milliken is an Alabama product. He has been the star pitcher at Auburn for the past several years, and was named by several critics as the best college pitcher in the south for the past season. He has been with the Pirates since early in March.
 The deal for Milliken has been hang ing fire for several days. It was an- nounced a few days ago that the former Auburn star had been signed, but the deal was called off when he refused to come south. He changed his mind later, however.
 Kid Caton was added to the Baron hos pital list yesterday. The dimunitive shortfielder had the first finger on his right hand split by fast ground ball in the seventh inning of the first game. He Meanwhile, Lester Sheehan, the new util- ity player will fill the gap.
 Cecil Coombs played left field yester- day, despite the previous announcement that he would be out of the game for several days. The Baron sunfielder Is suffering from an attack of ptomaine poison and is consequently hampered in giving his best services to the team.
 The Barons and Chicks clash again to- day at Redwood Carmen Hill will probably work for the Moleys, while Red McColl will likely be Cy Barger's pitch ing selection. The Chicks complete their series here tomorrow.

The release of Perryman witnesses the passing of formerly one of the most valuable men on the team. Last sea- son Perryman pitched good ball, and for a time this season he twirled in splendid style. He is a good scout and the elon- gated parson leaves the club with the good wishes of all. He has not decided on his future plans.
