CuIIop Remains on Farm
Rather Than Play Base Ball

Nick Cullop. former southpaw of
the New York Yankees, who was
traded to the St. Louis Browns, is
still living the life of farmer and ap-
parently is not concerned in any way
over base ball. The Browns have
made the former Yank several offers,
but he refuses to sign a contract un-
less his demands are met. Eddie
Plank, who was sent to the Yanks in
the same deal, also refuses to play.

FEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Where are
M the luckless Yankees going to

They are sfIn owned by two Of

as n club which on paper shows
n certain amount of class. But
they are hard to figure.

Cardinals out Of the ruck in one short

So, after all, the hapless YaRks are
going 20 be watched with a great

OF work out OF a ball club has been
underestimated, the Yanks OF 1918
are due to at least make a wonderful
fight for a first division berth.

Lacquer from Salt Lake. Walters has
already made good. but the others
are question marks. The pitching

practically through. The young
pitchers are Brady, Enright, Monroe,
McGraw, Piercy and Thormalen. This
Thormalen looked fair last fall and

coax the Yankees into n fight

He should finish no worse than

there ought TO be more base running

Championship Wrestling
Matches Don't Look Good

FEW YORK, Feb. 27.-One OF the
n charges made by J. c. Marsh.
l manager of Marin Plestina, the
western grappler. who has made
strenuous efforts to break into the
charmed circle OF wrestlers who are
engaged in elimination matches for
the championship Of the world. only
to meet with rebuffs at the hands
Of the promoters who control the
game, is that none Of the matches
between the leading mat artists ever
end with a decisive victory for either
man.
Either one man is injured and
unable to cOntinue.D says Marsh,
scr else the winner accompanies
HIS victory by the use OF n hold
that is promptly barred there
after. In either event, the loser
has an nIibI and Is not considered
by the promoters as having been
eliminated. In this way the hip
pOdrOme may be continued indie
finitely."
Marsh's assertions to the effect
that the matches between the lead
ing contenders for the title are not
on the level may or may not be true.
However, there is no doubt about the
unsatisfactory endings Of the many
socalled championship matches that
have been held in this and other cities
since the revival OF wrestling. It
was announced by the promoters OF
the tournament held at the Lexing-
ton theater last December that the
winner would have a clear right to
the championship, yet the tourna-
ment was conducted in such a man
ner that the winner. Valdez Zbyszko,
did not earn a clear right to the title
and under the circumstances the way
was paved for another series or
matches, some Of which have been
held.

are classics when the time comes for
the Congress curtain to rise, the
chorister is expected to have whipped
into form\one Of the greatest aggrega-

rendition Of Ezekiel Saw the Wheel"
has captivated them. The manner In
which this wheel has rolled and the

it upon the singers has already stamp
ed him indelibly upon the minds Of
the people as master mind in train
ing congregational singers. It was
announced that there would be an Or
chestra assisting to support the
chorus, with piano and pipe organ.
When the Congress opens it is claimed
the chorus will be divided in the vari-
Gus subdivisions during the afternoon
Of each day in order that each depart
mental meeting might have special
music. This with the addition Of two

selections will vary from the hymn
lined out to the most difficult anthem
that has ever been rendered in Alex

with an orchestra to give selections.
There will be solos, duets, quartets,
double quartets and congregational

nation obtained, will eclipse anything
