INTEREST GREAT IN EW|S-FREBERG TILT
 WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Followers of Swede Conf dent of Victory Over the Champion With Flying
 Headlock Barred

Seat sale for the Ed (Strangler) Lewis John Freberg match at the Jefferson theatre on Wednesday night will start this morning Promoter Brown Parks stated yesterday that interest in the match surpasses any of the previous en- easements and record crowd is expect ed 10 be in attendance.
 Lewis is already in town and is work ing out daily to keep in trim for the big bout. The flying headock- Lewis favor ite hold-will be barred. Freberg is ex- peeted to arrive here this morning
 Interest in the match is greater than the previous Lewis Freberg match. Fans are about equally divided as to the se- lection of the winner. Lewis, it is true, will be greatly handicap by not being allowed to use the headlock.
 Freberg gave Lewis a strenuous strug- gle in the previous bout and followers of the Swede assert that he will give the champion an even harder battle on Wednesday. Their reason is that the Swede will not be forced to be on the lookout for the headlock and can use his entire time on the offensive
 Lewis is the greatest defensive wrestler of the time and Freberg must do some thing no other wrestler in recent years has been able to accomplish in securing a fall.
 E J. Parry will referee the match to- morrow night. A fast preliminary be- tween two local crack amateurs is, being arranged and will precede the main bout.

UnfdDOrdbZe Weather Fails 10 Wreck Major Schedules
Half Way Mark of Present Big League Season Was Reach July 7-Teams in Both Leagues More Closely
 Bunched Than in 1916-Leaders Different

New York, July 23.-Despte the handi- cap of unfavorable weather earlier in the season, the major league baseball clubs have succeeded in playing closer to the scheduled number of games this year than was the case in 1916. The actual halfway mark of the present season was reached on July ' and on that date the average number of games completed in the National league was TA. while the American league had the advantage Of a fraction of three-auarters game on It's older rival
 Twelve months Ago the average num- Der of games played on the halfway date was, American league 71A; National league 66is. In the matter of games, v contests marks the completion of the first half of the scheduled 154 and in this respect but one club in the American circuit had reached that point on July (; the Cleveland team having played just v en that day. In the senior organlza- ton two clubs-Cincinnati and Chicago were credited with playing up to the original schedule.
 The standing of the clubs In games won and lost as compared with the rec ords year ago showed that the teams of the American league were playing closer to the 1916 form than those in the National circuit Dividing the junior league clubs into two groups of four teams each it is seen that Boston, Chi cago, Cleveland and New York figure in both the 1917 and 1916 quartet. Tn the second half there is but one change over year ago-Washington and Detroit having switched places.
 The range is much greater in the Ma tional league. Philadelphia and Chicago are the two teams to hold places among the first four both seasons. St. Louis, seventh a year ago, was third this July, while New York had moved up from sixth place to- first. Brooklyn, leading the league in 1916, had dropped back to sixth; St. Louis moved from seventh to third; Cincinnati advanced from last to tie with Chicago for fourth place, while Pittsburg dropped from sixth to last place.
 The following tabulations show tAe number of games played and percent
