SPORTS
SQUHBS
BY BOB McAULrFFE.

A wire from Chicago tonight an
nounced the fact that Ed "Strang-
ler'' Lewis has been matched with
Joe Stecher az the Chicago coliseum
for a purse Of $4,000, which will
be split 60-40. This will settle ali
disputes as to who is the worlds
champion heavyweight wrestler.
Freberg. who wrestled Lewis at
the oliver theater Friday night. is
not considered at ali. but such is the
luck of the giant Swede. Before the
match last Friday night, Match
maker Joe Coffee announced
that the winner would be matched
against Stecher for this big purse.
Freberg was doubly anxious to win
Friday nights battle because on
Wednesday of last week he threw
Stecher twice in a match held at
Springfield. Mass. Had he won his
latest match with Lewis. he would
have been in on the $4,000 purse.
and being matched with Stecher.
whom he had already thrown, he
was confident that he could repeat
the trick.
AS it is. a mere bump on the head
may have deprived him OF the
chance he has so long sought We
say may have, because the outcome
of Fridays match is still problemati-
cal, barring the bump that Freberg
received. Both men were tired,
their work showed that and opin-
ion is divided as TO who the winner
would have been, had the match
continued. That point will never be
settled.
After the match Freberg lay on
the floor OF his dressing room, so
badly hurt that he could not con
tinue. There was only one way out
for him, and that was to cOncede
the match TO Lewis, which he did.
After he had recovered sufficiently
to talk, he said that when he lifted
Lewis off his feet he thought he
was in the center Of the mat. and
that he never would have attempted
it had he known that he was close
TO the outer edge.
Freberg will doubtless challenge
the winner of the Lewis-Stecher
match and IS entitled to first con-
sideration if he does.

BOWLERS MEET AT
ORPHEUM TODAY
BY JEHOsEPHAT SPARE.

A meeting Of bowlers and those
interested in the tournament of the
American Bowling Congress, which
will be held at Toledo next month.
will be held at the OrpheUm bowl
ing alleys Sunday afternoon at 2
O'Clock. At this gathering it will be
definitely arranged just how many
South Bend bowlers will participate
in the big tournament.
Practically all of the Saturday
and Sunday dates for the tourna-
ment are gone and there are but a
few dates available except for the
very early part of the tournament.
However, these are not desirable
and are usually allotted to compli-
mentary clubs Of the home town
holding the tournament.
It has practically been determined
that the South Bend bowlers will
contest in the big classic on March
% and %. There are alleys enough
available to take care Of as many
as wish TO take part. At present
seven teams have been constructed
for the tournament.
But there are qAee a number Of
unattached bowlers who are willing
to join forces with any others Of the
same disposition. And, if these so
disposed bowlers will kindly take
part in this meeting this afternoon
all apparent difficulties can easily be
overcome.

SEC'Y LAMGTRY
HAS MANY ENTRIES
Two Hundred and Fifty Have
Already Signed for A. B.
C.. Shoot.

over $50 entries have been re-
ceived by Sec'y Langtry for the big
annual tenpin tournament of the
American Bowling Congress which
is TO be held in the Armory building
at Toledo, o., March s to 81. and
this does not include any entries
from Toledo.
Toledo has promised TO enter over
200 teams, so the total entry to date
is at least $50 teams, and inquiries
for reservations are coming in rapid
", which would indicate an entry of
at least 700 teams, ard gives a very
rosy hue to the success of the tour
nament.
The latest entries were three
teams from Trenton, y. J., and Mort
Lindsay Of New Haven, Conn. will
enter his famous Journal team as
soon as he is released from the navy
where he has been bowling for the
government during the past year
Lindsay is the only logical candidate
for a challenge from Jimmy Smith,
and is open TO meet Smith at any
time. The contest may be arranged
at Toledo during the A. B. c. tourna-
ment, and it would prove an inter-
esting card.
Immediately following the big A.
e. G. tournament the ladies will use
the same alleys for their annual
tournament, which is held under the
auspices Of the woman's National
Bowling association. Last year 30
teams entered in the ladies' tourna-
ment. and this year the entry will
run close to so teams. Tie lady ma
tional champions last year were the
Leffingwell Ladies of Chicago, who
will be on hand again this year to
protect their title, and as they are
bowling great tenpins this year. they
may repeat, although they will have
strong competition.
Entries will close Feb. 90 for both
tournaments and the blanks must
be in the mails by midnight of that
date or they will be returned by
Sec'y Langtry.

WABASH HANGS
CREPE ON DOOR
At NOTRE DAME
Football Tactics Were Adopted
by Both Teams Throughout
the Entire Game.
BY Charles A. Grimes.

The old black cat still lives and
the Notre Dame jinx still fingers!
Wabash came 10 town last night
and hung another defeat on Notre
Dame in the last few minutes of play
just when Gold and Blue rooters had
keyed up their imagination 10 a
dream OF a Notre Dame win. The
Little Giants finished strong. how
ever. and won a rough "a 20 90
game.
Last nights contest resembled a
wild interhall football game. Grid
tactics were adopted by both teams
az the start and continued through
out until the final blast was fired.
Wabash played the man rather than
the ball. and Notre Dame did like
wise. Resuit-from a basket ball
standpoint the game was far inferior
10 past Wabash-N. u. battles.
But all the old-time excitement
was on tap. Once Notre Dame got
started the stands rocked with ex-
tempOraneOus cheering and Able
Lockard's efforts went for naught
In the last half when Notre Dame
Jumped into o shOrt-lived lead the
fans had visions OF a Inundated
Wabash and they Cheered them
selves hoarse An injury TO slime
then slowed up the game and al
though Vohs and Hayes more than
filled his shoes Wabash rung in a
lot or horseshoe shots and drew
gradually away from the Gold and
Blue.
Five minutes elapsed i'm the first
half before Wabash scored the first
basket Hunt and Grimes rolled up
seven points for the DOWNSTAIRS be-
fore Bahan finally got under the
Wabash basket and dropped in No
ire Danes first tally. 4 moment
later Brandy raced up the floor and
scored again for Notre Dame As
the ball dropped through the net
ting. Rowley let loose a wild swing
that landed squarely on Brandy's
nose. Brandy suffered broken
nasal cartilage At Referee Cooks
suggestion Rowley then promptly
hied himself TO the showers.
Bader went i'm for Brandy and
played a pretty passing game. He
scored twice from the floor in the
last half.
Captain Bahan offset the long dis
lance shooting OF Hunt and Grimes
for Wabash and brought the NotVe
Dame total up 70 II at the end Of
the first half Wabash had 13.
A minute after the beginning Of
the second period Gnfillin scored his
first from the floor and made the
count Is all. He scored again on a
free throw a moment later and No
ire Dame took one-point lead.
Hunt and Grimes regained~ the lead
for the Little Giants and Bader and
Bahan united in attempting to even
counts again. but their efforts fell
short Gifillan also dropped in an
other basket hut Spencer let loose
"a heavy Wabash hom bardment and
scored thrice.
Raleigh slime then crashed into
half the Wabash team and sus-
'ained a fractured rib. Dale Nohs
took his job. only To give way a few
minutes later To Hayes, who played

Question-HOw large will a black
bass be in three years, also in four
years? Tell me about the pike in
three and four years. What do they
feed on and what kind of water is
best for them? ZION MILLER.
Answer-The following is based
upon propagated bass. The size of
bass depends very much upon the
water and feed. A conservative es-
innate for a three-year-old bass
would be 10 inches in length. weight
II to II ounces A four-year-old
bass would weigh 16 to IS ounces
and be IL to IA inches in length.
Pike in three years would weigh II
to IA ounces, about - inches in
length: four years old, 16 to IS
ounces. In case the water was warm
the fish would show a more rapid
growth. Pike usually resort to deep
water. while bass are very partial TO
the moss beds. Bass feed upon min
nows, frogs, bugs and crawfish. Pike
feed on the same diet, but eschew
the crawfish."
