CHRISTENSEN DOWNS
CRANDOW IN Opener

Wrestling was given an auspieious
opening for the coming season in this
CITY last evening when Hcrold Chris
tenson dropped George GrandOw and
Tom Draak put Jack Mannish 10 the
mat. Both bouts were fast and clever.
When Grandow appeared against
Christensen it appeared that it was "all
up" with the Danish grappler. The Pole
lowered high above Christensen. and
had the advantage Of him In every way.
But Christensen came across with his
old grit, and dropped the Pole in two
star straight falls.
Christensen got the first fall in p l-2
minutes after hard tussle.
In the opening bout Drank had his
hands full with Mannish tough crap
pier mailing FROM Boston. Mannish
Nvrastled hard all Of the way and sew
eral times had the Belgian in danger,
but the latter using the many tricks OF
which he Is master was soon on the
safe side SLOWLY wearing his opponent
down.
The men were very evenly matched,
the bout going 80 minutes before
DraalS gained his fall, using a body
scissors and further arm-lock 70 down
the BostOnian. Only one fall WIS re-
quired in this bout
Another show viii be arranged in the
near future. Some talk was heard con-
corning a match between Moro and

EDITED BY DAVE
BONERS and HEROES

Charles Comiskey has presented
baseball history with two famous
worlds series heroes.
George Robe, unheard OF before
the White Sox and Cubs meA IN
their clash OF 1906, sparkled IN that
worlds series with such brilllanoe
that he defeated the powerful ma
chine almost single-handed. His
defensive play at third base was as
founding. His batting was terrific.
Today Comlskey presents another
hero-Red Faber. the red-headed
youth, from Cascade, Ia, who trip
ped the Giants three times IN their
battle for the 1917 worlds cham
pionshlp. Red almost ranks also
with the famous boners OF worlds
series, for on hts flrst appearance IN
the series ne stole third base with
Buck Weaver occupying the bag.
Christy Mathewson was McGraw's
greatest worlds series star. He set
a record In 1905 when he thrice
faced the Athletics and blanked
them each time. And now McGraw
presents the greatest bonehead-
Heine Zlm-the man who tried 20
run down Eddie Collins for put
out and chased him across the plate
with the FIRST run OF the deciding
game paving the way for the Sox
Victory.
Fred Merkle and Fred snodgrsss
also rank In McGraw's hall They
struggled hard and finally lost the
deciding game 10 Boston in 1919 and
cinohed the worlds championship
Of that year for the Red Sox by
foozling ny balls.

Of 45,t00,000 to the Liberty Loan Ill
the sixth (Atlanta) federal reserve
district is considered altogether cred
table to the patriotism of this sec
ton, although according to the gov
ernments quota the district should
have taken $G5, 100000 Of the bonds.
In the first place, as pointed out
by Atlanta bankers and bond dealers,
southern people are not accustomed
to investing in bonds Their savings
generally 80 into real estate or first
mortgage loans. The bond as a form
of investment is something with
which they are not familiar. Espec-
tally is this true in the rural dis
tricts.
Another factor which has operatec
to bring down the purchase of Lib
erty Loan bonds in this district is
the fact that farmers are now financ-
ing their crops and merchants and
country banks are carrying this bur
den Of credit, which was obliged to
reduce the buying power of the south
