Toledo. O.. March 19,-1f Jimmy Wilde has done nothing else by his visit to this country, he has created gobs of interest in the flvweight pugil- stic class. according to Ad e Thatch- CT, Toledo fight promoter, who staged the Wilde Mason scrap at Toledo re- cently

Stadium Is Philly' Big
 Meet Bait

Philadelphia. March 19.-Philadelphia has inaugurated her campaign for money with which to build stadium equipped to accommodate the Olympiad in 1924. and before many months, St. Louis. Chicago, San Francisco and Bos- ton will have instituted similar cam paigns, almost assuring this country of the great athletic meet in four years hence.
 Aside from the fact that the move- ment for stadiums indicates a great revival of interest in athletic games, II would seem that at last the great carnival of athletic competition has reached that point in the estimation of Americans to which its originators aspired some years ago.
 There is apparentlX. no order or~sys- tenn in the matter of providing a place for the proposed Olympiad in 1924 in this country. It is a case of first come first served. with civic pride swaying the pendulum almost as much as the desire for the landing of the next week.
 In Philadelphia every organization of almost every kind is behind the project. Athletic officials. of course, are blazing the trail in the campaign, but they are finding plenty of enthu- s:asm among secret and fraternal or ganizations. automobile and cycle clubs of various kinds, to say nothing of promised assistance from purely social bodies.
 Sammual Dallas. president of the Amateur Athletic Union. who is taking an active part in the Philadelphia campaign. declared there was no need for an understanding between the cities engaged in a race for the next Olympic meet. because if all the cities interested succeeded in building stadi- ums. they would be of use to the ath- letes, even though they were never used for Olympic games. He takes the attitude that every community, large or small. should have an athletic sta dium.
 MT. Dallas pointed to the fact that with immense stadiums in Philadelphia, Chicago. Boston and San Francisco, this country could hold annual athletic meets that would lay the foundation of lasting supremacy in the various games for Uncle Sams land. The main idea seems to be to provide stadiums capable of seating approximately 75, 0C0 people. [

1 VETERANS of the mat game
 W deery the use of crippling
 V holds which feature many of the ysertlinE matches of the pres- ent day.
 ..Every one of the top-notch heayyweights uses some sort or hold that is decidedly dangerous, declared one of the grapplers who was conspicuous in the game more tb,n a dozen years ago. sZbyszko usea the toe hold. When he gets fl. then it usually is the case of a man surrendering or suffering agony of the most excrucfatins kind-and probably broken bones. strangler Lewis uses the terrible headlock that almost crushes the brain of his antagonist. JUG Stecher aIso uses hold "hfc"' although not so had as the others stiIl is crippling in its nature. pro xided the antagonist of Stecher continues to resist 1t.
 ..It seems to me tbnt rules shOuiu be made which bar holds whc" might cripple man. The r"tes ot the prize ring make for clean con tests. The dangerous pivot DioW is barred. Fighters are not per- mitted to hit below the belt. Every thing else is banned in the boxing game which might cripple q con testant.
 .In football, as rough game as is played. foul work is not per mitted The laws of the sport pro- hibit players from using any fac- ties intended to seriously hurt or cripple an opposing athlete. Heavy penalties are meted out for viola tion of the rules.
 ssBut in wrestling. nowadays, practically everything seems to go. Perhaps the very fact that dan- gerous holds are permitted lends to the spectacular part of the con- test. But, frankly, I cannot sec where anything can be construed as sport where the chances seem almost J0-JO that one of the men will be laid for several days as the result of the contest-if not per- manentIy crippled.

That's an awful dose for Philadel- phia fans to swallow if Connie Mack really said he held out no designs or hopes for the Athletics in the pennant line this season. Even if true, why should the Athletic pilot be so brutal ly tactless as to reveal his state of mind? Because he has trailed the league for five long, weary seasons spells nothing in this day and time. Lots of new blood in the game this year-unknown quantities.
 Connie apparently is not enough of an optimist to believe that new star of hope is born with the dawn of every day. But he might exhibit better sporting spirit.
 According to the story by the sport ing writer, the only consolation of fered is that the Athletics do not ex- pect to finish in the cellar.
 If the manager of the Barons made any such damaging admission as Connie Mack is alleged to have given out, he'd make his exit from Bir- mingham on rail. If the Barons hit the toboggan and finish in the cellar, that's all right. They will have done their darndest. But they are not going to enter the fray nope less. They're going to battle for the same pinnacle Atlanta reached last year, and that's the way the average fan is going to bet.
 Molesworth doesn't know himself what he has. But he's got something. And soon the major training camps will break up and there'n be some young players on the market.
 The season is young, the game hasn't started and it will be around the first of May before any team in the Southern League will have con- pleted it's organization.
 Meantime there's nobody asleep at the switch around these parts. Ger tainly there's nobody trying to gum the game by any such dire predictions as purport to come from the Athletic pilot in Lake Charles.
 Robert c. Allen, former manager of the Philadelphia Nationals and who purchased the Montgomery franchise in 1916, transferring it to Little Rock, is the first Southern League chief to admit that he'll cop the pennant this year.
 Allen has been out of the game many years. Originally he was a pitcher and first broke into league ball at Mansfield, o. He developed into a shortstop and played with Pittsburg in 1888. He then managed the Davenport team in the Western League, later joined the PhIilles,

than Frank GOtch. Yet he never resorted to cripplinE holds. He stuck to the straightaway style of grappiing; played the game square Iy and fairly under the orthodox rules. He pitted his strength, his skill and his cunning against his opponents and never took adyan- taEe of the other fellow by using hold which. if not broken, might cripple the opposing athlete seri- Ouxly.
 ''AII the other oId-timers. bar- ring a few who were known as rough boys, used the hammer-IoclS, the hnIf-NelsOn, the fuIl-NcISon. the crotch-hold and similar fair and square grips. They never spe- ciaIized in anything that might cripple the other fellow. They gave clean. first-class exhibitions of wrestling and It was not neces- sary for them to nearly squeeze the brains out of man or frac- turc his foot to achieve victory.
 "Perhaps the use of the head lock, the toe-hold. etc, add to the interest of the contests of today hut I'm not in favor of them be- cause of the danger involved in their use"
