Jenkins would reach out and get the ropes again, while the crowd hooted and hissed.
 Loud and insiStent demands came from the audience to disqualify the Clevelander, but Hurst apparently was deaf
 If Jenkins had not been permitted to cling to the ropes, it is more than likely that Gotch would have won the first fall. But he was permitted to
 do so and he remained comparative fresh while Gotch after more than an hour of frious exertion, seemed about worn out. He slowed in his attack and then Jenkins assumed the aggres- sive. Through the use of a head hold Jenkins at last was able to force the
 shoulders of Gotch to the mat gain ing the first fall in one hour and 30 minutes.
 Soon after the wrestling began for the second fall, Jenkins grabbed Gotch and hurled him through the ropes and into the ropes and into the crowd. Gotch fell with a heavy thud in the aisle and seemed badly dazed. It was almost necessary to lead him back to the ring. Wrestling for a while on the defensive until his brain cleared, Gotch suddenly saw an opening, grabbed Jenkins and in the scuffle that fol- lowed, Jenkins went through the ropes and out into the crowd. Jenkins came ! back on the jump, only to be trapped , almost immediately into a hold which won the fall for Gotch, making all things even.
 Then the men went to the center of 1 the mat for the third fall, something pnmed to be radically wrong with : . tch. He seemed wobbly in the legs
 and apparently had no sense of direc-
 tion The terrible pumping he had re- ceived when he was thrown through the
 ropes in the second fall was showing
 now. Jenkins realized this and, like
 a tiger sprang upon his prey. He
 roughed it with all the power in his
 body and although Gotch fought back
 as best he could, it was obvious to
 all that it was dying effort. Even
 as Jenkins was trying to flop Gotch the boy from Iowa seemed to col

Dan Dimmick, who is another Ray schalk behind the bat, has offered to lay odds on the Rotes, and has chal- lenged the Indians to "set in' if they think well of their boys. Dans idea is for the losers to donate the amount of the wager, along with the gate receipts to the Boys club. Bob Brooke is an other "Rote' who has seen the older heads in action and wants to lay his coiH on them. Said Robert: "Modesty forbids me to describe the real prowess and ability of the Rotarian aggrega- .tion.s so suffice it to say, that if the enemy score at all it will be on a fuke We trornced them severely last year, but they seemed to like it and have come lack for more and. believe me. they will get it-where the chicken got the ax."
 Bert Throckmorton, the ex-Princeton star. is probably the most feared man in the kiwanis lineup. When asked about the game Tuesday, Bert smiled and said; Ut is really amusing to hear those old birds talk about playing base ball. Why some of 'em have children older than I am.

AUGUSTA, Ga. April 1--Grinith's
players today are entering on the sec
ond lap Of their preparations for tho
opening OF the American League base
bail season in Washington April is. So
far the practice given the squad has
mainly been directed with the idea Of
getting the men in good physical con-
dition and in shape to start the real
work of the diamond, which In the
latter case Is going to consist of the
development Of the system of signals
to be used this season and in outlining
something Of the strategy to be enl-
ployed under certain conditions.
No. doubt exists that Griffith uses
about as difficult a set of signals as
exists in organized base ball. The Old
Fox has often been given. credit for
devising signs which other teams have
found almost impossible to fathom. In
reality the system is somewhat inter-
changeable. to the extent that a sign
which means one thing one inning may
mean something entirely different in
another inning.

stiffness dansore arms" says Grif1th,
1T have no doubt that we win be In
good shape to toe the mark when the
season opens. Everything is moving
along about as expected. though we
had to rush things considerably to
make up for the time lost during the
opening days of practice because of the
bad weather From now on we are
going to begin perfecting system of
signals and study something about
what our strategy shall be during the
regular play. OF course, what a ball
club does in any game depends abso-
lutely on the conditions incident to
that game, but nearly all such incidents
come under certain generalizations
which usually are called the strategy
Of the sport. It Is that in which we
must work to perfect ourselves for the
next two weeks.
Griffith is not banking q great deal
on anything in connection with Rice.
He realizes that his club Is no different
from others and that, even II Rice
goes into the Army. the Nationals
probably will not be affected any more
than some Of the others. Incidentally,
he further recognizes the fact that In
Shanks he has an excellent outhelder.
though he hates to give up his idea OF
using him as utility infielder, q role
he fills almost perfectly. .
