Ever since Irslinger gained a de-

the middle-weight championship and
has been hailed by Atlantic CITY
critics as the champion.
The Atlantic City Press praised the
local man highly for his gameness n
going back for the third fall after
having his ribs broken during the SEQ

That Turner has completely recover

BIG MEET AT MEADE.
Something New in Athletic Events
Will Be Offered.

Camp Meade. Admiral, Md, March
A big athletic meet will be held
in a Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton auditorium on March Is. The
events will not be of the old stere-
Otyped kind that are always on the
program for an indoor meet, such
as dashes, longer runs, hurdles, shot
put. jumping and vaulting. This
will be different. One dash is sched-
uled-40-yard-but the other four
events are not in the same class.
There will be a 1O-man team tug
of-war. which will test out all that
is in a team An eight-potato race
will give the men an idea of how
good a record they used to make as
agTiculturists before Uncle Sam told
them they were needed for the army.
A rescue race will not only test the
skill and speed of the contestants,
but will tax the nerve, too, Of the
fellow who may be spilled at any
point between the two ends OF the
building. Cooperation will be the
chief requirement for the three-Iegged
race.
The meet is for the whole camp,
but not distinctly inter-regimental
The contests will be rather by areas,
or by teams from the eight Young
Mems Christian Association bunga-
lows. Each bungalow will enter three
men in each of the events. There
is keen competition for places in
the big event.

MAT GAME PROVES
POPULAR In GOTHAM

New York. March 4.-Never in his
tory has wrestling been so popular
in New York as at the present time.
1t is popular because its conduct of
late years has been kept beyond the
breath of suspicion.
1t is true there were many fans
disappointed after Friday night S
match at Madison Square Garden.
Their disappointment centered in the
fact that Stecher and Zbyszko were
unable to decide in two hours the
question of superiority. 1t was we'll
for the health of the game that such
an honorable referee as George Both
ner was in the ring. No one of
sense questioned his ruling. Aand
everyone realized that the principals
were doing their level best every
minute. Otherwise Bothner- would
not have remained TO give a decision.
