Wrestling is one of the most stren- uous of all sports. It demands the utmost in strength and endurance and agility. The mat game is the severest, and most exhaustive form of exercise yet take a look over the wrestlers. They last longer than any other athletes.
 Ball players, tennis players, boxers, runners and jumpers, and others are usually through" as athletes at the age of thirty-five-most of them ear Her than this.
 Wrestlers are just reaching their best at this age. And most of them are good for at least ten years more.
 Gotch Retired at Forty-three.
 Gotch retired as worlds champion at the age of forty-three-and then only because he suffered a broken leg. Who thought Gotch an old man? Yet we always speak of Hans Wagner as an antique, and he is only forty three.
 John Olin, the famous Olympic wrestling champion, and the first man to defeat Stecher, is over forty. So are Madraln and Charley Cutler about that age.
 Aberg, the Greco-Roman champion of the world, is nearly forty-fve. Aberg has not lost single fall in the last 13 years, either!
 Doctor Roller, who is known all over the country, is over forty.
 Tom Jenkins, the former champion, who now teaches at West Point, wres- tied continuously for 37 years.
 Stanislau Zbyszko had been wres- ting 27 years before he was taken prisoner by the Russians at the out break of the war. He is still one of the most formidable men in the game and will no doubt be a factor to con. tend with after the war.

POLICEMAN SAVES

Chicago.-It is necessary to say that police sergeants are cold, stern, severe, exacting and utterly devoid of senti- ment. It is only fair to say that Mar tin Mulvihill is police sergeant of the Chicago avenue station. It is a fact there was a fire one evening recently in the apartment building of four StO- ries at 543 North Michigan avenue told Pine Street).
 When Sergeant Mulvihin espied that fire he loped to call box, sent in an alarm, and turned. He saw Mrs John Geisler lowering her infant brother from the third floor by rope of twist ed sheets. He saw the heads of frightened occupants projected from numerous windows projected, that is. at such times as the clouds of smoke permitted. The whole building was ablaze, and the fine oak woodwork of a time when they builded better popped merrily in the flames
 In Nothing Flat
 Mulvihill tore for the back door, and made the four flights in nothing flat Charles Sherry, who lived there with his wife and child, had started down. Sherry slipped, dropped the child flight, and himself fell far enough to work a fractured leg.
 Mulvihill grabbed the child and Sherry and bore them out and sent them to hospital. Then he went back for more. His face was burned and his clothing was sight. ooh, cOppers buy their own clothing, no matter-l He found Mrs. Otto Miller and her two children of three and six years and took them out. His breath was get ting short, but he went back for more
 On the second floor he found Mrs M. Miller and George Brisley, an actor. He took them out to safety down the smoke-choked stairway. Now his cap was gone, his collar was askew, his coat was on the point of disappearing.

 Remarkable Athlete.
 The most remarkable athlete in the world is probably Patoubney, the Rus sian giant. Patoubney is fifty-three years old and all the wrestlers are that Patoubney is also feet tall and weighs over 300 pounds.
 Little Freddy Beel, who threw big Tom Jenkins 15 years ago, is as good today as ever. So is Tom Cannon, the Englishman.
 George Bothner, who held the light weight championship for such long time, is remarkable example of what the good athletics can do. Bothner is fifty-one years old-but doesn't look even forty. He recently wrestled a five-hour draw with husky young ri- val by the name of Nifock.
 Will Bingham, the jiu-jitsu expert, is forty-seven-and never better. Bing- ham is small man and has had to struggle with big, strong fellows in most of his matches, too. Clarence Whistler and "Strangler' Evans Lewis were champions between the ages of forty-ive and fifty. German WrestIers.
 Those two famous German wrestlers John Koch, friend of the kaiser, and Siegfried, the "German Oak" are quite old, athletically speaking, but still first class wrestlers-if they are alive Koch is forty-ive and Siegfried is over fifty. So is Lurich, the Russian. William Muldoon, the daddy of them all, has a big health farm and snow. white hair and a lot of money now, but can still give the best of them a strug gle.

 Doctor Junek was born in Silesia, Austria, and says he often saw the Gypsies stop to do the jazz dance. He thinks some American dancing master must have visited that country, too.
