BASEBALL AT STEELTON

From authoritative source IL has
been learned, says the Bethlehem
Globe, that the Bethlehem Steel
League will be a reality. In making
this assertion it would appear as
though the proposition heretofore
was merely a speculation on future
conditions which often was hinted
at in the last few weeks but the
statement received from the source
referred to makes it definite and
Bethlehem fans will again witness
baseball of big league caliber
through the kindness of the Bethle-
hem Steel Company. Although no
league action was taken on the pro-
ject of interesting Reading in secur-
ing the berth made vacant by Fore
River, it was learned that this ha 6
been abandoned and that instead OF
the circuit comprising six clubs Il
will be a four-club league. The 9TH
er club to drop is Harlan plant at
Wilmington, Del, which will enter a
team in the Delaware Shipyard
League. The teams to comprise the
steel circuit will be Bethlehem
Lebanon, Steelton and Sparrows
Point.

BIG LEAGUE PLAYERS OFF TO DIXIE; GREEK WRESTLER
Greek Wrestler Here to
Warm Up For Big Match

All is set for the big wrestling
battle at the Chestnut Street Audi
torium, in this city, tomorrow night
between Wladek Zbyszko and Iran
Madras, and a packed house seems
assured by reason of the great local
and national interest in this struggle
between the two former world s
champions at the two different
styles of wrestling, the catch-as-
catch-can and the Greco Roman.
The match here will be held under
the former rules, the game best
known to Zbyszko, who won the
worlds title at this sport few
years ago. Madras is working out
today here, putting on the hnlshlnS
touches.
The match here assumes all kinds
of possibilities and the chief of these
is the fact that Madras, almost uh-
known, although feared by all the
big men of the game, has the golden
opportunity of a wrestler's career TO
spring into the limelight as one of
the worlds leading wrestlers by
winning the fight from Zbyszko. 1t
is a goal worth striving for and the
big Greek, through good fortune, is
bending every effort to accomplish
that end.
Zbyszko, on the other hand. is
about to realize his long-cherishedI
hopes of winning the crown OF
wrestling laurels, his victory over
Joe Stecher the middle of last week
and his match with Ed. (Strangler)
Lewis. Friday night, in New York,
placing him in such n position that
unless he disposes of Madras he Will
take a great fall from which all the
kings horses and all the kings men
will have some job extracting him.
As kings are few and far between
these days, Zbyszko knows that 1t is
I'D to him to dispose of the Greco
Roman master or beat it back to the
farm and retirement.
There are all sorts of possibilities
likely to result from this match,
sandwiched, as it is, between the
Stecher and Lewis battles OF the
mighty Pole; but one thing is as
sured. and that is that it will be
as bitterly fought a struggle as could
be selected for this year
With stakes so great depending
upon the result and both men
pledged to go to a finish, best two
out of three falls, the crowd which
witnesses the big tussle will see as
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-03-17

skilled and daring n battle of wits,
speed and strength as has ever been
held. On top of all this, the two
men are trained within an inch of
perfection and they rank i'll class
by themselves in point of physical
development
Both men have been noted for
their aggressiveness. which means a
speedy fight, one that will keep the
crowd on it's feet all the way
through. To the novice who has yet
to see his first big heavyweight
wrestling match, there is a delight
ful surprise in store for him, as no
athletic exhibition quite equals a
clash of this kind for eXhilirating
entertainment of clean kind.
Wrestling has a high place in the
hearts of the American sporting
public and to such an extent that
it is patronized very heavily in the
various cities by women.
From a scientific standpoint, the
bout resolves itself into the question
of Madras skill at attack. Because
of his long and high part in the
Greco-R Roman game, he cannot but
help being as strong, if not stronger,
on defensive tactics than his Polish
rival. But, whether he has as yet
mastered the art of pinning an OPP
ponent to the mat for a period of
three seconds, which is not necessary
in the Greco-Roman game, remains
TO be seen and can only be told to-
morrow night. Still, he has the
hammerlock, one of the aces of
wrestling. at his mastery, and,
should all else fail. that lock will
pin Zbyszko or any of them for the
limit. Any way YOU take it., the
struggle should be a thriller.
As a preliminary, Baumann will
stage the Army game of Jingle
Bells" one of the most amusing
stunts of the Service. In it two
blindfolded boys. with bells in their
left hands and swat clubs in their
right, try TO locate and swat each
other by sound. Its a scream. So
important is the match that Ser
geant Baumann will himself act as
referee. AS a master of the mat
game with the O. X. of Uncle Sam
there is none better. The doors of
the auditorium will open at 7.30 and
the show will start at $50. Tickets
are on sale at Harry's cigar store
and the Schenk e little sporting
goods store
