Homer Was First Booster
For the Wrestling Game

bows and reach for the rail with their
toes.
Henry the "V-Three" was power
full wrestler and practised it whenever
he wasn't looking for new wife. II
was not an unusual thing TO see Henry
the "V-Three" wrestling around the
public squares of London, but it was
generally believed that his opponents
Topped to him. A courtier meeting
Henry at the gates Of the royal palace
would say:
Morning, Hank. Have you had your
little pin fall this morning"
Henry "v-Three" Delighted
This would delight Henry the
"V-Three," and he would grin kingly
grin, although the courtier knew that
Henry was a hound on the mat and
would always quit if any one got toe
hold on him.
The Scotch also took up wrestling in
200 A. ID. and promoter staged tour
nament at Glasgow. lie gave out 200
complimentary tickets. There were 200
people at the match. The promoter
tried dynamite on his next trip 10
Glasgow--but was no more successful.
England gave us the Lancashire style
OF wrestling, which, reduced TO It's SIM
pie form, is the catch-as-catch-can
modus operandi that is the most pouu-
lar of the various crimes of wrestling.
The old catch-as- -catch-ca enthusiast
sneezed loudly and often at the Cum
berland and Westmoreland" style,
which was the leg hold, or the Corn
wall and Devon" variation, which was
committed in linen jackets. The irish
lauded the "colar and elbow" method.
This early training Of the Irish has
developed some Of our most efficient
subway guards.
Gradually the Graco-Roman style
came into favor, though this is a no
torious misnomer. 1t resembles neither
the classic Greek nor the noble Roman
style of wrestling, but is. in fact, a
direct steal from the French form Of
milling. Liquid fire, poison gas, bomb
ing excursions and bayonet charges are
barred in the Graco-Roman style, and
for that reason it never has attained
great popularity.
The wrestling at the Lexington Thea
tire is done largely under catch-as-
catch-can rules. In this style a man
NAV reflect some of his personality.
Sula Hevonpaa, for instance, has tried
everything on his opponents except A
Lewis machine gun, but the tourney has
been in progress only one week, and
Sula is holding back some Of his clev-
crest moves.

Magnates, Too, Have Re-
sponded Literally in Con-
tributing Financial Aid
By w. ]. Macbeth

Organized baseball may have ap-
peared slow at first in its response TO
the call to arms, but there can be no
doubt now that the profession intends
to assume its full share of seeing the
thing through. The greater glory Of
the game is being reflected by that
backbone Of the organization which has
made Americas great summer sport
what it is-by no less an humble per-
sonape than the player himself.
Though there are some few striking
exceptions, this, Of course, is to be ex-
pected. Athletically, the professional
ball player natures young. He reaches
the zenith Of his career at the age
best suited to the srduous military
game. This fact does not hold true
with other departments. The magnates
from league presidents through club
owners to umpires are almost without
exception men Of experience either in
business OF diamond service. They are
too far aged for active warfare, which
has become a Young mans work.
Player Has Saved Game
Il is quite in keeping with the his
tory Of the sport that the rank and
file Of the baseball profession should
assume greatest responsibility. The
player has become accustomed to the
part. lie, rather than the magnates
and executive department, has forced
public respect for the honesty and in
tegrity Of his profession through years
OF near-scandal and attack.
Baseball is wholesome, sweet and
honest because the player has kept 1t
so. He has been irreproachable, realiz-
ing false step would ruin his means
of livelihood. So much cannot be said
OF all the operators who have at
tempted to usurp the limelight from
time to time.
In all fairness to the msgnates, it
must be said that they have been most
patriotic since this country entered the
strength Of arm. But all have always
been willing to do their bit financially.
No charitable cause has been forced to
ask twice for assistance. Benefits Tor
soldiers and sailors have been arranged
without number. And club owners who
have had surpluses to show have IN
vested without stint in Liberty bonds.
No man in baseball's history mas done
more for the game in this hour OF
stress than has Captain 1. i. huston
half owner of the Yankees, for the
captain offered his all. lie was one OF
the very nrst to offer his services 10

His name is Gustsve Emil Hoglund,
and there are thousands Of people who
will tell you that Gustave IS the great

We are not going TO argue that matter,

Hoglund is now the chief instructor
at the lSIst Street Ice Palace Skating
Club, the most exclusive organization
of its kind anywhere in the world. The
club is limited 70 l50 members. all OF
whom are among the most exclusive
persons in society Of this and other

Hoglund comes from a family Of
champion figure skaters and first gained
fame as an amateur at Christanls,
Norway, in 1918, when he won the
championship. In 1906 he turned pro
fessional and competed with unyary-
ing success at ST. Moritz against the
leading expOnents of the art. Hoglund
has appeared in London. Manchester,
Sydney australia and Paris. Several
OF the nobility have been among his
pupils.

SPOTS Wins in
Sleet Storm at
Travers Island
Beats Stephenson in Shoot
Of-Many Full Scores
Are Turned In

In the teeth Of a binding sleet
which came driving in off Long Island
Sound Ralph L. SPOTS, the ex-amateur
national champion, proved himself to
be the best Of a string of twenty
seven clay-rock shooters at Travers
Island yesterday. In the scratch and
handicap Of 100 clays he captured the
high gun honors, and this prize has al
ways been regarded as the big thing OF
the shoot.
Although he came out on top, SPOTS
was forced TO work hard for the glory,
and it came only after shoot-of with
Frank p. Stephenson. Both broke
totals of So out Of a possible 100

light and snow hitting directly into
their eyes are taken into account.
SPOTS Wins Shoot-0f
Despite the conditions, a shoot-off of
twenty-five clays was ordered. SPOTS
came out ahead. Following the custom,
the score in the shoot-of was not
given.
For the honors of the high handicap
gun there was another tie, the shooters
to run level being A. Duden and J. H..
Varderveer, with totals of 80. There
was a shoot-off, in which Duden was
the winner.
In the four regular events full scores
Of 25 were found to be very effective
whenever they occurred. A full tally
Of 25 won the leg on the Travers ISL
and Cup for W. c. Bowers. and NJ. Nc
Voy also captured the leg on the Haslin
Cup with a perfect 25, the only one in
that race.
Many Full Scores
There was not a single full score for
the club cup, and it fell to the high
gun. Frank b. Stephenson broke "a

was declared to have been credited with
the leg. Two hung I'D full scores of 25
for the Accumulation Cup. They were

paid his entrance fee. The neglect of
