FRANK FARMER
BEATS SOMMERS

Jack Hartford. Jack really fought
In his bout with wildcat Leonard
last night, and killed all opinions
that he wasn't game. Hartford
rushed Leonard In the first part of
the fight in a manner that he has
never displayed before. He prov
ed that he can really fight IL he
wants to, and won the respect of
the fans by his determination. IL
was a draw.
Battling Bunker and Jack
Thompson furnished the comedy
bout OF the card, a draw in which
both men gave a good burlesque
of the manly art.
Frank Farmer will probably
meet Micky King in the next

of the world for many years and
when he retired indicated he
turned his title over to Frank
Gotch. his pupil.
1t was due to Burns training
that Gotch developed into the
greatest of all wrestlers. 1t was
Burns who took Goteh as a crude
farmer boy and taught him the
fine points Of the game. It was
Burns who invented the famous
toe hold which made Gotch the
most feared wrestler of all time.
The princely sum of 10 cents
led Burns to take up wrestling
When he was eight years old he
wrestled Jimmie McGrin. a school
boy friend, for side bet of Is
cents.
1T was every cent I had in the
world" the veteran said. after
1 had pinned Jimmie's shoulders
to the ground and pocketed my 80
cents, ! decided 1t was q pretty
easy way 10 earn money. Since
then I have always been ready
for match"
In his long career in the wrest-
ling game Burns engaged In more
than 5000 matches. Only six
times were his shoulders pinned
to the mat.

Now Of Indiana, asking the War De-
Hartmcnt to advise the Senate as to
its reasons for not making public the
