In the little town If Renton Harbor.

But this odd notion does not interfere with the believers in being regular" when it comes to athletics. They go in much. for baseball and the team organized among members of the House of Da- Vid,' the order is known, have beat en allcomers the past year in the Mich igan independent ranks. The pitcher on this team is so good that Manager Fred Mitchell Of the Chicago Cubs has. made him an offer. His name is Moe ney. He hasn't accepted Mitchell's terms as yet Maybe he waits to learn if there is anything in the rules of the National league against him wearing Lair and whisl<ers House of David"- fashion. .

MUCH INTEREST IN
 B|G WRESTLING
 MATCH FOR DEC. 18
Excellence of Card Offered By B. A. c. Is Attracting Many Fans-Russian
 Has Made Hit

Much interest has already been aroused over the coming wrestling match between Joe Stecher and Ivan Paddubney, which is slated for Thursday, December IS. Although the match is over a week off quite a few reservations have al- ready been made for seats to the match.
 The large amount of interest is due in large part to tho excellency of the card offered by the B. A. c. Joe Stecher has been prominent figure in the wrestling world for several years. and local fans are well acquainted with his sterling work. Stecher has appeared here twice in the last year, and his made a favorable impression each time.
 1van Paddubney, although not as well known or as experienced as Stecher, is by no means a slouch at wrestling, and shows earmarks of being future star performer He has appeared here but once, against "Strangler" Lewis, but Tn that one time he made many friends and admirers by his splendid aggressive style of grappling. He put up most excellent fight against the "Strangler.''
 sStecher was formally called the "Scis- sors King" and he has lost none of his prowess with that hold. But he has in- creased his supply, and now can use the other holds with the same ease as he uses the scissors" It is said that Stecher has perfected the head lock, and can use it as well as Lewis, the admitted head lock king. Stacher has also acquired pro- ficienay in the use of the arm locks and other offensive holds.
 Pa1dubney, in his match with Lewis, seemed to favor the arm lock, or ham rner lCck," as it is known to the fans. He showed remarkable skill in obtaining this hold, and several times had Lewis at his mercy with this terrible punishment hold. He also used the head lock sev- eral times.
 Paddubney s aggressive, fast on his feet and skillful. and~ought to give Stecher an awful fight for the decision Experts are predicting a mighty inter esting entertainment for the fans when the two grappiers get together, and Coach Hutsen states that he will do his best to have the preliminary programme up to make the coming match the best of any yet held here this year, and are expecting a full house on the night of the match.

PITCHER TYLER
 BEING REPAIRED
 FOR NEXT SEASON

George ('Lefty") Tyler, the Cubs famous isouthpaw hurler, is in a hos pital at Rochester, Minn., undergoing treatment for an ailment to his pitch arm which rendered him wellnigh use less to the Chicago club for a great part of the past season
 Tyler has complained for the past year or so of soreness in the left arm and shoulder, and has consulted numer- ous physicians without gaining the de- sired relief. The pitchers complaint has been variously diagnosed as rheu- matism, neuritis torn muscle and a misplaced ligament.
 He now proposes to find out exactly what is the matter and hopes the treat nient he will receive will fit him to again take his place as one of the Ma tional leagues leading slab artists when the season og 1920 rolls around.

National League Ascending
 Heights to Superiority
Victory of Reds Over White Sox Seems to Have Put New
 Life Into Older Circuit American in Turmoil
By JAMES J. ooRBErr

Opportunity is hammering upon the door of the National league. The chance is here now for it to re-establish itself as the premier circuit in baseball. The road isl open for it to climb back to the heights which once dominated it before the advent of the American league.
 Will the magnates grasp it? For decade or more the National league has been more or less the joke organization in big league basehfl the butt of ridicule because of internal strife, and because it's entry in the world series duelling has been consistently, and soundly beaten. And in the same period of time the American league moved along smoothly, frictionless, harmon iously and gained added glory and plaudits because it's teams rode trium- phant in battling for the highest honors 1 in baseball.
 CHANGE HAS COME
 But of sudden weird change has come.
 The Reds went into the big blue ribbon event last October against the classy White Sox" and smashed them to a pulp They gave to the American leaguers one of the worst beatings ever suffered by any American league outfit The best team in the American met the joke team of the National, and the joke" team won.
 All of which has convinced the base ball multitude that the National has come back in playing power; that the hosts in the American are no longer sH- breme, and that there will be a mighty turnstile factor in 1920-in favor of the National-n cities where both leagues have franchises.
 And while that was going on, a revolu- ton broke loose in~ the American; one of the nastiest baseball battles in history

 .' "So MT. Johnson's coming here,'' asked Colonel Ruppert. That's fine. At last he has found he had no author ity to call the meeting in Chicago"
 U In reply to a question as to whether withdrawal of the proceedings brought to enjoin Johnson from holding the Chicago session were in the nature of a compromise, Colonel Ruppert said: J. NO. indeed. The suit was with drawn because too many long, drawn out technicalities were involved. There was no compromise"

CARPENTER MOST POPULAR OFCHAMPS French War HerO's Win Over Beckett Pleases
 Boxing Experts

The result sf the Beckett Carpenter was no great surprise to the sporting fratern ty as Beckett was regarded as one of the poorest excuses of England ever held the championship of England. That he lasted only one round against a clever man like Carpenter was also to be expected. It took eckett r rounds to knock out Eddie McGoorty, the American middleweight, after Ed was all in and had practically retired from the box ng game.
 Carpenter is the most beloved boxer that ever represented France in the prize ring. He won several medals during the five years he was in the war and also lost thousands of dollars
 majority of the American sports passed up Beckett when he refused to fcae Fred Fulton in the ring. Beckett is slow tn nker. and equally Slow in delivering his punches. About the only thing that could be said in his favor was that he was strong as an OK and could strike hard blow.
 Chris Brown of New York and San Francisco, a well known theatrical manager, who has been identified with boxing for yeaB, and was at one time manager or young Grlno, was 1 nthe Enquirer office the day before the fight between Beckett and Carpenter. Brown picked Carpenter to win in one round. Beckett asked Borwn to become his manager when the latter contemplated vi sittmircoAe w. shdluupupupupup visit to Ameriea last yeafss but Brown passed him up because he dd<not think that he would last more than one fight.

ITS "LoyaE and "Rebep Club Ouuners 10 Meet sPORTSI
FILLER SAYS HIS EFFECTIVENESS IS
 NOT SHINE BALL

Hod Eller has come forth with a statement to the effect that he does not care one way or another what the rule makers do in the matter of the shine ball. Hod admfes that he has used a "shiner" for three years, but hints that his success has been due, not to this delivery, but to something far more subtle. He won't reveal tis secret just yet. He says so himself
 T have purposely advertised my sinner by continually rubbing the ball on my trousers in order to cover up the best part of my pitching pro gramme" says Eller. By rubbing the ball every time I get hold of it made the batters look only for sinners. The real secret of what success I have at tained has not been due to the shine ball, but 10 something which I intend tc keep secret for the present.
 No, it's not due to the resin I car " in my hip pocket. That is just to keep my fingers dry. I do not doubt in the least that I will have more sue cess next year than I did this year, even if all freak pitching is barred, because my skill in fooling batters does no depend on anything I or any. of my teammates do to the ball"
 How modest our little Hod is, eh? emerge completely from the mire and the good of the past 1a years, and to mo-e along to a position where it vii be re- spected and esteemed. and will be ranksl the greatest organization in baseball.
 Will it make good, now that the chance has como?
