rather unfortunate that other changes
are not to be made in a season which al

One had little sympathy with the time

of balls in the over to eight. The few
seconds gained might still be made up
without any extra strain on the bowler,

Why not do II navy fashion at the
double? But one alteration might be
made which would not interfere with
any fundamental principle of the game.
This is in the method OF making the
choice OF innings. Now, OF course, Il
IL done by the call, lucky or otherwise,

WRESTLERS HAVE
CHANCE TO PROSPER
Control Of State Boxing Board
Would Boom Graphing
a. Game.
INNOVATION IN MATCH
Money to Be Refunded to Pa
irons Unless Lewis or Zbyszko
Gains Fall in GardeS.

Robert Friedrich OF Kentucky. who
wrestles under the name of Stranger
Lewis, Ia matched TO meet \VladeS
Zoyczko IN a bout TO nnish at Nadi-
son Square Garden next Friday night.
The managers OF the event declare tina
in order to be declared the winner a con-
testant must gain at least one fall. and
that unless fail ia obtained the spec
tators will positively have their money
returned, an innovation in the wrestling
game.
Lewis. who recently was discharged
from the United States army, has twice
beaten Zbyssko, once at the Manhattan
Opera House tournament, and again last
year in the West. Lewis won each time
with the deadlock, and ne recently gained
a fall over Stecher with the same lock,
Lewis therefore IL the runner UP TO
Champion Earl Clddock. who still Is in
France with the American army. and
who despite all statements to the con-
trary has not formally retired from the
wrestling game. Until Caddock an
nounces his retirement or is beaten his
title cannot be claimed by anyone else.
The offer OF the managers to return
money unless there Is a fall has been
made because Of the adverse criticism of
the sport due to the inslncorlty of
wrestlers in past matches. While a
wrestling bout contested on its merits,
as the management insists the one in
the Garden this week will be, is a very
interesting event, the public has been so
frequently deceived 1t cannot be blamed
for entertaining suspicious every time a
match is announced
There is a specific remedy for this.
That is for the promoters and grapplers
to place the sport on a basis where 1t
could be properly regulated. 1t would
not be a difficult matter for the pro-
moters ~ have a clause inserted in the
Gibbs Boxing bill providing Tor the SUI
pervision and regulation OF wrestling by
the commission appointed to handle
boxing.
Prospects for baseball. boxing and all
branches OF professional sport never
were so bright, and the wrestlers have
fine chance to share in the general
sport prosperity II public confidence is
restored in the sport.
