Marsh is for the contest-and Curley seems to be unalterably opposed.
 q will never consent to Zbyszko meeting Plestina while I remain as Zbyszko's manager and Marsh con- tinues to handle Plestina," is the way that Curley puts it.
 "Plestina is open to meet any man in the world anytime, andwhere and for any amount" is the position which Marsh takes.
 It is too bad. for the sake of wrest- ling. that Curley cannot be moved from his stand,
 Curley's big reason for refusing to match Zbyszko with Plestina is the fear that Zbyszko will be beated 50 quickly that the match would be a joke" is the viewpoint of Marsh q am willing to have Plestina handicap ped in his match with Zbyszko. If Curley will give Plestina a match with Zbyszko I will agree, in Plestinas be- half, to let Zbyszko secure his favorite toe holland then the match can go on. The contest can be the best two tions and Zbyszko will be privileged to get his toe hold at the beginning of each fall. And I have $10,000 right now to bet at two to one that under such conditions Plestina will win the match.
 "If Curley thinks that Zbyszko Is such a world beater he certainly can make a cleanup on contest with Plestina. If Curley is not satisfied with conditions outlined above, I will

Baron Colts Defeat Veterans
REGULARS
 BEAT STAR HURLER
Cooper Takes It Easy and Bezdek Yannigans Are
 Defeated

Under the watchful eye of Man
 ager Hugo Bezdek, the Pittsburg
 Regulars defeated the Yannigans
 of the same team at RickwOod
 yesterday by the score of 6 to 2.
 The Pirates big "Ace" Cooper
 hurled the first five innings for
 the Yannigans, but he was evi-
 dentIy just lobbing 'em over. for
 10 hits, combined with several mis-
 plays. gave the veterans n half
 dozen counters and the game in
 the first two frames.
 Caton's walk, Zitman's huff of Ca rey's fly and singles by Safer and Southworth were /good for a trio of markers in the opening set-to. Lee greeted Cooper with a homer in tho second round but the next two were easy outs. Then Caton doubled Carey doubled and Safer and Southworth tn again singled, scoring in all three more tallies.
 This ended the Regulars scoring all though a double play in the third and triple play executed by Terry in the fifth killed what looked to be aus picious rallies.
 Evans, who pitched the last three innings for the Yannigans, allowed two scattered hits but no runs.
 Caton booted Bigbee's grounder in the first and Terry singled, but a two ply killing ended the Yannigans 5 chances for a score. Tn the next frame however, another huff by Caton foi lowed by Zitman's triple contributed run. Zitman drove in the second run when he doubled in the fourth after sweet had singled through CutshaW. The third and last Yannlgan run cams in the seventh and resulted from Zit mans single followed by Evans long triple over Southworths head
 The feature of the game was the hit ting of Zitman and Southworth, the former of whom hit two singles, q double and a triple in four times Up. Our own Billy smashed out three bin- gles out of four trials, which was not altogether bad, even for Bill
 Terry's triple play and all-round fielding was revelation to the small crowd of fans present.

bet S10,000 at even money that Plestina can throw Zbyszko three times in one hour
 "Curley and his friends and quite . number of wrestling enthusiasts claim that Zbyszko is the greatest wrestler feel that way then they must be con fident that the Polish grappler can beat anybody. Yet here I am ready to post $10000-and more if it is wanted as a bet that Plestina can down the so-called worlds champion three times in 60 minutes If those fellows have the courage of their own convictions all they need to do is to cover my for felt and give Plestina a match"
 Plestina was a pupil of Frank Gotch and got much of his early training from the champion of champions. He worked daily with Gotch for many months and it was at the suggestion of Gotch that Plestina joined the ranks of professional wrestlers and started out to make a name for himself He has been wrestling for several years and not al any time since he reached his prime has he encountered any grap- pier who was his superior. He has defeated-in a decisive way-everv wrestler who tried conclusions with him
 Zbyszko has improved wonderfully over his form or year ago. The Polo is one of the most powerful men that ever stepped onto a mat. But he al- ways looked upon wrestling more as a playful occupation than a serious bus mess. He never could throw himself into his work. But some months ago Curley took Zbyszko aside and uttered words which Zbyszko hasn't forgot ten.
 And Zbyszko took a "tumble'' and from then on became a different type of athlete. He went about his work seriously and improved greatly. At last he was matched with Jot Stecher in elimination contest-and won from Stecher Then he took on StranS- Ter Lewis, who was his closest rival with the exception of Plestina-and won from him in a spectacular match in New York
 Zbyszko today Is at the height of his career-and so is Plestina. A great match would result if Curley and Marsh could forget their personal dis likes and permit the contest to go o1.

 Treated Them
By Associated Press

Washington. March 31.-Testimony for the Baltimore Federal league baseball club in it's suit for damages against the American and National leagues and cer- tain former officers of the Federal league will be completed tomorrow.

The "misfts" scored in the initial round when "Swats" pasted the agate to right and ambled across the platter on Coombs single. Samuels then set 'em down in the next innings, and Jones' who relieved him got by in spite of wildness until the eighth when, after two were out, Gillen hit a homer to center Claypool was safe when Bernsen pulled his foot off the bag. Swacina singled to right and Slap nicka, batting for Coombs, put one against the right field wall, clearing the sacks
 Walkers single, Gillen's error and Hairston's double to center enabled the regulars to count two off Sigman in the second inning. Another error by Gillen, passed ball and hits by Railley and Hair ston gave Eddie's team their last count CT in the third round Roberts, who twirled the last four innings, held the opposing team runless, allowing but one hit and that a fluke
 The feature of the game was the field ing of Railley at short, who handled himself like a veteran. This kid looks better every day. Samuels and Roberts also looked good on the hurling hill.

Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CORBETT

No choicer morsel could be served up to wrestling fans than finish battle between Marin Plestina and Waldek Zbyszko Such a contest un- doubtedly would pack any arena in which it was staged and would create greater interest than any since the days when Frank Gotch was beating 'em all.
 Each lays claim to the heavyweight graphing championship of the world. Each has assembled an imposing list of victories-and against different foes They have never met. And until they do in a deciding contest the claim of neither can be universally recog- nized.
 A meeting between the two should result in a great affair. But the chances are that it will never be stag ilton, Barbare to Safer; Caton to Cut shaw to Safer. Triple plays, Terry to Mollwitz. Base on balls, Mayer 1. Ham ilton 2 Cooper 1, Evans 1. Hits. off Mayer, 5, with runs in innings; Cooper, 12, with runs in innings. Strck out, Evans l. Umpire, Swacina. ed And that is due simply to the fact that there is i'll feeling between the rival managers-Jack Curley and Joe Marsh. But the attitude of the two concerning a match between Plestina and Zbyszko Is radically different.

TO Make Land Fertile.

In the San luis valley Of Colosado
there is an area of from 100000 to
100000 acres, which has almost COM
pletely been deprived Of fertility In a
seemingly mysterious manner. This
condition has been investigated by DR..
". r. Headden of the Colorado agri-
cultural experiment station, and he at
tributes this condition to the so-ca1led
"black alkali," composed largely ct So
dunn carbohydrate. This carbonate Is
carried In the waters Of the valley, In
Guiding the rivers and the artesian
wells, and the practice Of sub-irriga-
ton has brought 1t to the surface by
capillarity and evaporation Doctor
Headden suggests that the remedy lies
in a conversion Of the carbohydrates
into sulphates by the use Of liberal
amount Of gypsum to one pound Of
black alkali-and downward washing
by means Of surface irrigation with
burrows or by flooding.

Topography Of Our Country
Responsible for Tornadoes,
Explanation of Scientists.

Why Go some portions of the United
States suffer from tornadoes, or cy-
clones, as they are generally but erro-
neousIy called, while others do not?
The question Is answered, notes
writer In Peoples Home Journal,
by scientists of the United States
weather bureau, who point to the topog-
raphy of our country in explanation.
Tornadoes occur in the Mississippi
valley, anywhere from the Gulf OF
Mexico to the Canadian line. No por-
ton Of this area is more apt to suffer
than another, the experts assert. This
valley opens to the warm waters OF
the gulf on the south and Is closed In
on the west by the high wall Of the
Rocky mountains. Warm. moisture
laden winds from the gulf move north
ward In the spring and early summer
and encounter the cold north and
northwest winds that sweep down the
east wall of the Rockies. When the
opposing currents meet there Is some
times formed one Of those rapidly re-
volving, funnel-shaped clouds so de-
structive of life and property.
TornadOes travel southwest to north
east, and, in addition to their terrific
whirling movement, which Is too great
to be measured, have a forward We
locity of from 80 to 60 miles an hour.
Their path may be from few hundred
yards to mile in width.
The word tornado" at first spelled
tornado" probably was derived from
the Spanish tronada, which means
thunderstorms- Tornado" may have
grown out Of an attempt to combine
this word with the Spanish word tor
mar, meaning to "turn," thus making 1t
descriptive Of q storm that turned or
twisted.

RAILROADS AND
BANKRUPTCY.

The railroads are broke.
Their debts grow like rolling
snow balls. Ever since they
got out of the hands of private
owners they have been as pro-
fitable as a soda fountain at the
North Pole.
The private owners were not
angels. Their motive was not
philanthropy. Their inspiring
purpose was to make money for
themselves-all they could.
But if they did not give some
kind of service in exchange for
it they could not make any.
They could not fall back up
on taxation. The government
perhaps feels that it can, but
since filling their income tax
declarations the people begin
to think that there must be
some limit to taxation.
The answer seems to be a
special session of congress to
deal with the problem. With
out funds for extension, i'm
provements and repairs the
condition of the railroads when
summer trade activities are
timed to begin will put the
country face to face with a sit
uatlon comparable only to a
total crop failure or a devasta-
ting earthquake. The roads
cannot be thrown back at their
owners in their present shape,
and only congress can formu-
late plan for preparing them
for this consumation.
