WRESTLING MATCH
 HERE IS CANCELLED
Draak Misses Train and
 Bout Is Called Off By Local Officials

The wrestling match has been cam celled
 Ed Lewis and Tom Draak were to have met at the Southern Athletic Club tonight. put Draak missed his train" at New fork, 1t being presumed there is only one southoound train a day from New York; and wired that he could not get here in time to fill the date.
 Local wrestling fans are disgusted with the situation. seeing but three phases of the question: That Draak was scared to meet Lewis; that he considered himself so good he could meet a man like Lewis immediately following a 24-hour journey on the train or that he had made his plans for the trip indifferent to the effect travel might, have. knowing he did not have a chance under any conditions.
 The concensus of opinion among the boys who pay to see mat work is that if the match was to have been worth seeing at all both men should have been on hand several days ahead of time. so such a situation as the one presented could not arise, or else it is just one more of those so-called matches where two big boys tumble about for a while for the sake of what money there is in a. The local officials are not blamed by the fans for Draak's failure to show up. but for falling for such arrangements that could allow the present fiasco to ma. terialize,

'UNSHACKLING" RULE
 REPEALED BY BOARD

Canton. Ohio, February 1.-Repeal of the ''unshackling rule, which was passed at meeting in New York last December, and the adoption of rule to take it's place resulted at the meeting Of the board of review of the National Trot- ting Association here this afternoon. Those in attendance were President John C. Welty of Canton, Secretary w. H.. Gocher of Hartford, Conn, Hay M Colby of Oswego N. Y., Ed Moulton of Wor- cester, Mass. and II. B. Req of Pittsburg, all men prominent in the light harness game.
 After repeating the ''unshackling' rule the members of the board rescinded an- other rule which had given time al maximum of three years to horse which does not lower it's record during the sea- son This action opened the way for the new ruling adopted, which is similar to the former rule, but carries time al lowance of two seconds per year instead of but one with a maximum of three years, or six seconds exclusive Of the year in which the record is created
 The object of this legislation is to re- store many horses. those with win rec ords which they have not equaled or bettered for several years to active serV- ice. on the hundreds of mile and half mile tracks of the country, thus increasing the supply of racing material which is heing depleted by the heavy sales to foreign governments and individuals.

INCREASED WAGES ALONE WILL NOT
 SATISFY MINERS
By Associated Pres,

By Associated Press
 Washington, February 1.-The coal strike settlement committee will resume tomorrow consideration of arguments ad- vanced by representatives of the miners and the coal operators. with the hope that it will be able by Thursday to conclude it's hearings insofar as the central com petitive field is concerned. Operators for the first time are to present statistics and statements as to the actual condition in the indusry, it's earnings and ability to pay increased wages.
 Tn an advance statement, given out to day. the United Mine Workers asserted again what has been their contention since the controversy began. that they would not be satisfied to accept a settlement which merely put their members on in- creased scales commensurate with tne in crease in the cost of living as based on the pre-war standard.
 What the miners ask is an opportunity to advance and progress instead of going backward the statement said, "they insist on the 1920 standard of 1ivipg.'
 The assertion was repeated that miners wages have never been adequate to maintain a standard of living based on health and reasonable comfort"

 But a second later McMullen fell on top of him. The punch had taken away his last bit of strength-and he, was as much out from the effort used in delivering the blow as was Parker, who had taken it. Neither man arose within the chanting

 Big Plans
By BOB PIGUE

Memphis, Tenn, February 1.-(Spe- ciaL)-An array of ce-busters, the like of which has never been before seen in the Southern League, is the goal of John J. McCleskey, new man ager of the Memphis Chicks, who is on the job and already out making an ef- fort to buy or trade for the men he de- sires. The recently named Chick chief tain remained in Memphis just long enough to give the local reserve list a thorough inspection and soon discov- cred that, while he had bit of talent available, he would need much more if he could hope to bring the tribe into at least first division berth. John called on President Thomas R. Watkins Of tho Chicks and relieved T. R. of large chunk of surplus kale. then caught train. heading for Indianapolis and Co., lumbus. where he is going to make an effort to separate these two teams from a couple of hard hitting ball players McCloskey has plenty of persuading material at his command, and will buy the players he wants outright if there's no other way of getting them.

I4arruping Lou was sold to the Boston Braves at the fag-end of last season along with Dixie Carroll, and it is believed that Dixie vii make good, but that Lou will be turned back for further ripening The terms of the deal calls for Chris returning to Memphis if not available by Boston, and if he comes back he will be used in the outfield Pug Griffin, the big slugger who played first base last season, will be an outfielder this year, where he is expected to shine with considerable luster. Manager Me- Closkey is going after an outfielder to help Griff and Lou patrol the sub urbs.
 A first baseman is the greatest need of the local club, and McCloskey is seeking veteran who has performed in this league before with Little Rock and Chattanooga. He is a fence buster of the first water and second only to Bris Lord, ex-Chick skipper, when 1t comes to busting fences. He is at present owned by Columbus in the American association. and 1t is stated by Manager McGloskey that he is avail able if sufficient coin is available. Mc- Closkey isn't worrying about pitchers, for he already has a fine staff with one good extra man on the side. He plans to use two left-handers, Hugh Canvan and Tom Blodgett. and three right handlers. very likely Bill ThWeatt. Fly Fowlkes and Tiny Good bred

Fifteen years ago fighters up in Can ada were permitted to use heavy tinfoil as layers Tn the tapping of their hands And about that time I was matched to fight fellow named Billy Lander for the championship of Canada.
 ''I was tipped off that Lander was plan- ming to tape his hands with tinfoil of the heaviest grade he could find. So my seconds began hunting around for lead fail. And I'll say they succeeded in getting ii heavy enough.
 When l went into the ring that night had few tons of that tinfoil sand wished in between the taped straps on my hands And Lander was dressed up in the same way. l figured that the fellow who could get in the first punches might win. So l went right out to tinfoil Lander to defeat
 But he was a tough bird-whew For the first six rounds hit him so many tim foil punches that his body and face

 me if he ever landed on my jaw with that hardware.
 ''In the ninth my arms had become so tired from swinging the big bulk of tin foil that I was carrying that I could
 hardly lift them even for defensive pur- poses. I knew what was going to hap 1 pen to me from then on if I stayed in the fight I had tough jaw in those days. but no jaw is tough enough to stand up under cast iron drives.

BASKETBALL MAKES B|G HIT IN THE NORTH
Big Colleges Have Taken to Cage Sport With
 Eagerness

After years of yearn.ng for popularity nell, Pennsylvania, Harvard. Yale, Co., lumbia, Williams, Dartmouth and Brown should be satisfied that the floor game has finally arrived. A canvas of these colleges during the past two weks brings the information that basketball is now colleges, and that the problem now is to try to create interest in the game, but to provide floor space for the teams to play.
 At Cornell basketball has come with a rush. There are now less than 80 regu- larly organized teams contesting almost every day, and this number includes the class teams. Every available minute of time during the day is taken up by some set of teams, and as a result the lthacans are said to boost of the finest lot of basketball material the red and white ever had.
 At Harvard basketball is serving ad- mirably in the sport for ail' program, in which all students are obliged to take some kind of physical exercise. At the beginning of the term last September, Harvard athletic authorities were lament ing the inadvisability of forming num- Der of basketball quintets because the floor pastime had mover proved gener- ally acceptable at Cambridge. The ln- creased interest in the game this year has assisted materially in solving what was accepted to be a difficult proposi- tion.
 At Pennsylvania. so much interest mas been manifested in basketball. athletic ot- .ficials have been obliged to rearranse the gym schedules so that all who oe- sired could play the game. Practlcaiiy the same condition obtains at Lar ' mouth and Brown At Brown, however the problem has not been so difficult 10 solve because the attendance IS not iarse and the physical training programme IS therefore a little more flexible. Au- vices from Dartmouth indicate that the floor game will probably pay its own way this year. the first time for many years With basketball gaining new deVotees the next problem for the colleges to solve will deal with enlarged gym accommo- dations where greater crowds can wie- ness the varsity contests. all ot Whicl this season have attracted capacity au- dienceS
