APPROVES
OF WRESTLING GAME,

The following comment on the
wrestling situation in Richmond was
received yesterday afternoon from a
well-known fan;
Sporting Editor Virrinisn:
Il am in thorough accord with your
stand on the wrestling game in Rich
mond. I feel that when a sportsman
pays his admission price to a wrest
ling match between two sturdy ath-
letes he receives his moneys worth,
whether the affair is a put UP affair
or not, so long as there Is no open
laying down.
Wrestling is one Of the finest and
best sports and always deserves an
appreciable audience. There should
be no unjust panuing of the wrest-
lers or the promoters.
Leo Wise and the other prom oters
OF the match next Tuesday are going
to considerable lengths TO stage the
AFFAIR and they deserve the fullest
II Is costing them a large
sum OF money to bring the four ath-
letes here and they are willing TO take
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1918-03-15

the chances Of patronage from the
wrestling fans.
Therefore, the wrestling fame are
willing TO take the chances OF seeing
clever and on the level affair.
''Wrestlers like Joe Stecher and
Big Lemle are too high in the game
to entrust their regulations to any
flmfiam methods. Stecher Is at the
top of the heap and any misstep would
put him back with the bushleaguers
AS to DR.. Roller, he ia a fine ath-
lete and should be given an atten-
tive ear. He is n hard wrestler, and
conscientious as well. He wrestled In
Atlanta last night and made tre-
mendous hit
Il, for one, intend TO boost the af-
fair TO the fullest I. as a sportsman
for sports sake, want 10 see clean
athletics promoted on a high scale In
this city and | feel that by encour-
aging the promoters of this match I
win be doing the best possible hing
to help sports.

CARRIER in fauitless evening dress,
John l.. Sullivan and / boxed a four
round exhibition bout in San Fran
cisco on the night of June IS, 1891
AS is the rule in exhibition contests,
neither of us had seconds in our cor
ners and the affair was little more
than fairly vigorous sparrlng match
But when the first call of time came
and walked out from my corner and
squared off with John L.. my boyhood
idol, as my foe. a queer feeling came
over me.
IL seemed strange-verv strange in
deed-that | should be pttted against
the man that / had considered tho
king of pugilism the unbeatable
champion. OF course, the bout was
only a friendly one, and neither of us
uncovered much of our real ability
But, Just the same, / wanted to show
my friends in San Francisco that John
l.. held no terrors for me And
guess the big fellow, realizing that
had acquired a stable following in
San Francisco. decided that 1t might
be worth while to unlimber bit and
tame me with some of his famed
savage glances and few OF his right
hand jolts
During the first round both OF us
spared cautiously and only did some
light tapping. Yet, ] followed every
move of John. compared his style with
my own, studied his every ring trick
and when the first round was over
and / went back to my corner some
thing within me almost shrieked.
Jim Corbett, in a finish contest
you are that mans master
Such feeling seemed for a moment
a traitorous one. Not until that very
second had it ever occurred to me
that I could whip John l.. Never had
such thought been mine; never had
/ even aspired to battle John j.. to
finish. The height of my ambition up
to that night had merely been to
rank second to john j.; to become
heir apparent TO his throne and sue
coed him only through his retirement.
But all through that minute OF rest
btween the first and second rounds
something within kept saying:
lin, try to get a match with him;
try hard. You can beat him sure"
Through the second, the third and
the fourth rounds I continued to study

footwork with his and felt that / had
