Chicago Sport Writers
 Start Crusade Against
 Crooked Wrestling There

Chicago, December 21.-(SpeciaLl-Ch;- cago sport writer's have started a crusade to cleanse the wrestling game. All wresr- ling shows are going to be thoroughly inspected this winter and mat artists who do not perform to the best of their abiify are going to be blacklisted and Chicago promoters asked to refrain from booking them The promoters. about a dozen in number, have volunteered to cooperate in the plan in exchange for support from the press for shows that are worthy .r public patronage.
 One of the first moves of the crusade will be to do away with the employment of amateur wrestlers who receive their first education in the mat sport from city playground instructors. It is said some of the promoters have been booking thess lads under fictitious names and billing them as residents of nearby cities. Tha practice, according to the writers, makes for deception and also robs the youngsters of their amateur standing
 The scribes are also urging the munich pal authorities to license the wrestlins, sport and grant permits only to those promoters who are willing to assist in re- storing the ancient pastime to it's former popular place in the estimation of fan dom. Because of the large foreign popula tion wrestling has been leading sport in Chicago for the past five yeara

 "The differentials themseles are no, in dispute.

 IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES
 There are other important differ. ences between the Garfield proposal and the Pelmer-Lewis memorandum which have not been made clear to the operators up to this time. The operators repeat that they have never agreed to the Palmer-Lewis memoran- dunn, and that they still stand upon their agreement to accept the terms of the Garfield proposal.

JOE STECHER TALKS
 ABOUT MANY THINGS
Believes That He Could Whip Jack Dempsey-To
 Meet Cadd0ck

Everyone is considering which man would be the best opponent for Jack Dempsey, and every first rate heavy weight boxer has been consideredl There is one athlete whom no one has even thought of as possible contender for the championship, and that person is no other than Joe Stecher. Nebraska heavyweight wrestler of the world.
 q believe that could whip Dempsey if I trained hard for bout with hirn,> said the champ, after his match with Ivan Paddubney here last Thursday. T have boxed quite bit, in the navy liking to the gale. However, I have. no idea of attempting to take up boxing as profession. as all my time is taken. up with wrestling.
 T think that Dempsey will find no trouble whipping Carpentier, but Ans believe that Fred Fulton would gtxo him considerable trouble in a bout. In Fulton attempts a proper comeback. [ believe that he would make danEar-@ ous rival for Jack
 Of course there Is not . ez2nes for Stecher to take up boxing. but if Aa did there is not doubt but that he$ would make good fighter. He has the build, nice weight of POS pounds the speed, gameness and c1everness, AlE essentials to a champion boxer. Am other requirement of first class boxer is coolness, the ability to keep cne's head under fire. Stecher has this, he cannot be rattled. In the opinion of many, Joe Stecher, would mako B first class boxer
 While talking to several fans Thro- day night, Stecher said that he was willing to wrestle Earl Caddock at any time, and that he had already thrown him twice. He said that he had also thrown Marin Plestina two falls.
 When Stecher meets Caddock, he is certain to be the favorite. for during the past two years, he has demon strated the fact that he is one of tho most wonderful wrest1ers of modern times

Despite the fact that the school is en- toying a vacation this week, the Central High basketball squad will continue its practice over the holidays The first game of the season will be played soon, against Dora High school, and Coach Burbage is anxious to condition his squad as soon as possible.
 The squad meets at 1 o'clock each aft ernoon, and holds the practice in the gymnasium of the Birmingham Athletic club There is a large number of candf- dates out, and Central is assured of a good team. Several old men are back, and quite few promising beginners are reporting for practice daily.
 The fight for the center position is cen- tering around Baker and Lawley. Mig ger Lawley is a veteran of last year s squad, and is making great showing this year, while Baker, although new man, is putting up mighty good fight for the position.
 Stubbs another old man, and varsity guard of the football team, is out for for ward, and so far is making good at this position Hahn and Robinson, both vet erans, are making it a three e-cornered fight with Stubbs for the two forward po- sitions, and all are making excellent showings Sugerman is doing well at guard.

America Has Gone Sport
 Mad During he Past Year
Thousands Fought to See Six-Day Bike Races-Boxins and Wrestling Booming-Football Enjoyed Banner
 Year-Baseball Has Prospered
By JAMEs ,. CoRBETr

Americas millions have gone sport madl
 At various times in the history of the nation there have been eras when the populace has shown a yearning for entertainment-but never was there a time like now It makes no differ ence what admission prices are asked and it r6Akes little difference as to the attraction Just so long as it is an athletic contest Americans battle to see it.
 A few weeks ago six-day bicycle race was staged in New York. In other years, when the attendance ranged between 4ooo and 5000, the pro-
 motors thought they were remarkably lucky. But in 1919 Madison Square Garden, with it's seating capacity of around 17,Ooo or 1s.oo0. was damned from the getaway night until the final sprints IA hours later.
 CROWDS DRIVEN AWAY And at least zoo,o persons more sought admission and were driven away by squads of police-
 In the old days 8 man could pur- chase ticket on tho opening night and remain in the Garden until the close of the contest at tho end of the week. This year every admission 6cket was good for only 1z hours, which meant that the place was cleared out 12 times during the run ming of the races And the prices this year-wtth swar tax included-were nearly double those of any other year.
 Yet each afternoon and each night the city firemen had to order hundreds out of the Garden, while outside the police were forced to use the most strenuous methods to disperse the legions who risked torn clothes and effort to seq the cycling show.
 Over in Jersey, early In the fall. Johnny Kilbane fought Frankie Burns, Jersey featherweight, and Benny Leonard battled a lightweight oppon- ent Both were in open air. Each 50000 persons through the turnstiles! !! Think of it-5o.ooo paid admissions at fancy prices to see a featherweight champion in a short no-decision bout and approximately the same mum Der to view a pair of lightweights.
 Four years ago a crowd of 10000 at either show would have been consid- cred truly remarkable. even at the prices then prevailing. Now the ad- mission fee is double. But the public, in it's sheer madness to see athletic contests. pays-and does so without protest.
 WRESTLING BOOMING Some years ago the mere mention of wrestling match in Gotham confines would have provoked laughter. No pro- moter, no matter how daring, would have put on grappling show. It wouldn't have drawn a corporaPs guard then. But how different it is now! A few nights ago Joe Stecher wrest- led Wladek Zbyszko. The paid had met innumerable times. and most of their contests were unsatisfactory. And the public has been given to understand on
