Chicks Cop Initial Fray From Moleys

Ed C'Strangler") Lewis, despite his clean sportsmanship, is more feared among wrestlers than any other man on the American mat on account of his fe- rocity, once he has clamped on a hold on foe. Lewis will wrestle in Birming ham next Monday night when he meets John Freberg in finish match at the Jefferson theatre. Brown Parkes Is pro- noting the bout.
 Wrestlers declare that Lewis once he has a hold will never release it unless something gives way or the man op- posing him comedies the fall. Lewis is declared to be the mos< savage wrestler in the country when it comes to inf1ict- ing punishment and for this reason 1t is not every man in the mat game who cares to meet the Strangler.
 Since it was announced that Freberg was to meet Lewis on the night of the l6th the big Swede has been repeatedly warned by friends of his to watch Lewis and particularly the flying headlock hold, which in Lewis hands Is the most deadly ever devised, even more so than the strangle hold.
 It is declared that Lewis is very re-
 
 cause doctors have told him that he is taking a chance on breaking a man neck every time he applies it. Consequent fy, he keeps this hold as a last resort and it is only every now and then that he finds it necessary to resort to this most sanguinary hold evef devised. Other wrestlers who have tried to perfect them selves in the flying headlock have not been able to obtain the proficiency in it that Lewis has and the mastery of the hold remains with the man who invent ed it.
 Lewis tremendous stature, his mighty development and the enormous weight of his body alone serve to make this hold well nigh irresistible and the only man successfully to f-s.st it was Joe Stecher, in the famous match in Omaha. Zbyszko was thrown by a hold which grew out of the flying headlock which Lewis obtained and which the Pole thought he could break with his abnormal neck muscles
 Freberg, before he lert Birmingham. announced that he would pay especial at- tention to his neck and work continuously on that part of his body during his train ing. Freberg declared he fully realized that that was the vital point in any match with Lewis and proposed to de- yelop his neck to a point where he could successfully cope with the Strangler 1 Fans who witness the match Monday l night will see battle for blood and one l that probably will rank in herceness with

BLACK WORKS WELL

BLACK WORKS WELL
 Opposed to the tribesmen was Karl Black of the left-sided pitching specie and most familiar to patrons of the play grounds of Red Elm bottom. It was no particular fault of Karl that the Chicks won for the Baron southsider received slttle assistance from his helpers when the tribesmen scored their trio of runs in the first inning. Before the Barons had gained their equiibrium-we will call it. the Chickasaws had gained three runs which ultimately proved more than suffi- cient working margin for Vance.
 Black was unable to get a bead on the plate for Allison and Allison ambled to first base. Caruthers dropped slow rol- Ter down the first base line. Johnston fielded the ball, but his judgment of dis tance was bad and his stab at Cruthers went wild. Wick dropped bunt in front of the plate. Haworth heayed to first, but Webb covering the bag let the throw glide through his two hands. Allison scored and Caruthers stopped at third.
 Bratchi singled between short and third, scoring Cruthers and moving Wick up to second. Dobard popped out to Me Donald. Beall hit a long fly to Ellis, who in hts attempt to head off Wick at third threw wild and Wick scored. Bratchi went to second on the play, but Manda popped out to Johnston for the third out.
 CATION FIELDS WELL
 Black pitched beautiful ball the re- nlainder of the game and with the assist ance of Midget Caton at short held the Chicks in check although they threatened several times.
 Three fast twin killings halted the Chicks when they had opportunities to do some more scoring. Beal opened the fourth with single and was sacrificed to second by Manda. Ruel lined to Ellis in center and Beall was doubled off sec ond base.
 t With one out in the sixth Dobard walked. Beall hit to Caton, who stepped on second, forcing Dobard, and then threw out Beall for a double play.
 ANOTHER DOUBLE PLAY
 Manda opened the seventh with a sim gle, but Ruel grounded to Caton, who touched second, forcing Manda and then threw out Ruel. Vance followed with a single but Allison popped out.
 The Barons' best chance to score came in the first. Mcdonald greeted Vance with a single and was sacri- ficed to second by Johnston. Mcdonald went to third on Coombs' infield out, but Ellis helping effort was fly to Allison.
 A weird play deprived the Barons of a scoring chance in the third With one out, Johnston singled to left.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-07-10

Coombs dropped a fly back of second hase. which Allison missed after a hard run. Johnston had stopped be- tween the bases, but before he could get new start Allison recovered the ball and forced him at second.
 fast double play halted the Bar ons in the seventh. Ellis walked for a starter. Webb popped out to Cruth- CTS. Vance struck out Caton and Ruel whipped to Beall at first who tagged Ellis before he could get back to the base
 LINEUP CHANGED
 The Barons presented a somewhat crippled lineup. Webb, utility man, played second base in place of Clark, the regular second baseman. Red Smith, catcher, played in right field, which was occupied by Southworth when the Barons were last seen here. His Baronial highness, Carlton Moles- worth, stated that Clark and South- worth were both out with injuries.
 Molesworth is expecting some help tomorrow. Pat Duncan, an outfelder, secured from Grand Rapids and with the Barons this spring, is due to join the team here today. Duncan had been out with broken leg, received in March.
 Cy Barger, chief of the tribesmen stated that Ed Willett who has been out of the game with an injured hand for about three weeks. would prob ably pitch for the Chicks tomorrow afternoon. If Willett is not ready then Roy Fentress will chunk at the Bar ons Elmer Ponder will probably op pose the Chicks

 Twirls Nice Game-Caton Stars in the Field
By HERBERT CALDWELL

Memphis, July 9.-(SpecfaL)-A.
 Q. Oazzy) Vance, pitcher by
 choice of profession, late of To-
 ledo, O., moved into the Southern
 league this afternoon and took up
 his habit at Russwood park. Vance
 made b's debut as Chiclkasaw
 pitcher by leading the tribesmen
 to 8 to victory over the Bar
 ons of Birmingham in the cur-
 tain raiser of four-game series. From the thoroughly acquainted man. ner in which Vance behaved in his new surroundings and from the pitching wares he brought along with him the indication is that Dazzy has come for an indefinite stay
 He held the Baronial troupe of swatters to four swats. These came from four dif- ferent Baron bats and came in the first three innings. In the last six innings the Barons went hitless. Only three Barons went to bat in each of the last six rounds. Vance gave one base on balls and only 30 batters actually confronted him
