Echoes at the Lexington
.Rv Louis Lee Arms

The most interested wrestling fans
we're the sculptors and artists. They
probably didn't know a half nelson
from an Annie Oakley, but they took
their wrestling seriously. Throughout
the tournament at the Lexington they
were among Louis Meyers steadiest
and best-paying customers.
Sula Heyonpaa never knew that he
was unconsciously contributing to art.
If some student had told the mighty
Finn that he resembled the rough,
hardy figure of pagan sculpture like az
rot Sula would have told the art stu
dent to go chase himself. Lewis in the
agonizing clutch of Zbyszko toe hold is
nothing less than Rodin. st. Gaudens
or Watts. These gentlemen would and
probably did like wrestling.
ANY one of them would have pre-
ferred watching Earl Caddock meet Joe
Rodgers than TO see George Arliss in
"Hamilton." Art. the high brow, is the
great patron Of the low brow.
Opportunities for Art
There were moments during the
Lewis-Zbyszko bout when, could they
have been transformed into stone, oils,
marble, wood or metal, would have
made a sculptor or painter famous.
When Zbyszko was trapped in a body
scissors the art student did not see a
possible championship gone glimmer-
ING as we'll as the winners end OF the
rurse. lie saw human animal suffer
ing, and the pungent reproduction OF
this would be art. Ivan Linow might
have posed for "The Thinker" but he
would never get away with it among
his friends.
So while the writers and the audi
encc were thinking up funny things to
say about the wrestlers the students OF
art and sculpture were admiring them
from afar AS the perfection Of human
development. Things can't always
break rotten for a wrestler.
This calls TO mind the fact that Lewis
and Zbyszko are remarkably active for
big men. Lewis suggests the thorough
bred with his wiry, tapering legs and
rather small hands. II is his tre-
m.ndous courage and determination
that have put him among the first flight
of wrestlers.
Zbyszko has been physically endowed
with every advantage a wrestler could
ask, even TO the bullet-shaped head. He
is the natural athlete, while Lewis is
the self-made one. II is only superior

The Lewis deadlock may be rs cruel
as the "Strangler's" opponents claim.
but at least it masks the suffering Of
its victim. When Lewis folds an oppo-
nent's head in his vise-li bccps that
head, in the language OF the stage, may
be said to have effected an exit.
The toe hold, By way Of contrast,
places the suffering Of its victim where
all may see. Lewis struggling in the
grip cf the giant Zbyszko shows the
effect OF pain more markedly than any
one we have ever seen. There can be
no comparison between istic knock
out and ZbyszkO toe hold. One pro-
vides all the comforts Of sleep; the
other the agonies of primitive torture.
From spectatorial standpoint Zbys-
zko is inferior 10 Lewis in his capacity
for rejecting pain. While he does not
suggest the buoyancc. of a curbstone
comedian when in the grip of toe hold
he seems to take il more or less as a
matter Of course. One can almost hear
him exclaim: well, I was sucker 20

Has Larger Feet
Zbyszkos feet are larger than Lews's
and they apparently are more difficult
20 bed. The object of a toe hold is
TO fold a mans instep over his heel in
the hope that he will yell quits before
anv of the bones Of his feet are broken.
Il is astonishing what some wrestlers
will let brother grappler do TO their
feet. Some of them seem to be really
proud OF the fact that they have fallen
victim TO the hold. Personally our
foot is still sore from merely watching
Lewis.
Jack Curley got out his Kidding mill
yesterday and began sending broad
cast the announcement that little
Wladek "slept peacefully last night
with the championship belt snugly be-
side him" This is an unusual cham
pionship belt. 1t is said to growl
iiercely when any one mentions the
head lock.
II seems that Wladek also found time
Saturday night before taking the cham
pionship belt 10 bed TO sign a state
ment. In il he admitted that he was
the Graco- Roman champion without
dispute. So far as trapping any Of the
coin of the realm is concerned that is
like being the best one-armed paper
hanger on Bleeeker Street.
Now Wladek also claims Frank
Goteh's catch-as-catch-can title and
what with Caddock, Stecher and Lewis
entering counter claims, it looks like a
busy winter for the boys. Maybe
Lewis will challenge Wladek to a re-
turn tournament.
Oh, doctor!

Former Giant
Leading Batter
In Association

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-Bcals Becker, Of
Kansas City and once member Of the
New York Giants, is king Of the Ameri-
can Association batters. according TO
official averages which were announced
tonight. Becker's mark for the season
is 1928. Dave Altizer, Of Minneapolis,
gave Becker a run for his money and
pulled IN one point behind the Kansas
City slugGer. There are four men with
averages higher than Becker, but they
played in less than half as many games
as Beals. Dale. OF indianapolis, hit
$40 for % games; Blackburn, Colum-
bus. pulled down $50 for SO contests;
Harper. Of Minneapolis, in 26 games
finished with .345, while Crane, Of
Minneapolis, in SO games clipped of
.332.
Becker won other honors without any
dispute. He made more hits than any
body else in the league and these
gave him a mark Of 266 for total bases,
which was also a high water mark.
Beals was far ahead in the home run
department, finishing with a mark Of
fifteen circuit drives. kirke, OF Louis
Vile. had the most doubles. thirty
seven, and 6. Williams. his teammste,
led in three-basc drives with twenty
four.
Paul Dresser, the speed king with st.
Paul. ran away with the stolen base
honoTS. His mark for the season was
ffty-fve, and this daring on the paths
enabled him also TO lead the league as
run getter. Dresser tailed 1l8 times
McCarty. of Columbus. finished with
thirty-seven sacrifice hits. which topped
Bronkie, Of Indianapolis. and Shovliu,
OF Columbus, by one.
Kansas City led the league in team
batting with a mark OF .265. Louisville
was second with .262 and st. Paul was
third with .260. Indianapolis, the pen
nant winner, was next to the last in
batting, with a mark Of PSI.
