makes an arrest. but there are few men
in the United States who are better ac-
quaintcd with the big criminalS-thc
kind who prey upon the banks and the
great financial institutions. They know
him and he knows them. and as a con-
sequence they usually give his district
a wide berth. There was q character
iStic incident in the carly days of his
bank detcctiveship which illustrates the
peculiar nature of his duties. One Of
the biggest bank thieves in America was
noticed lowering about the entrance to
the Drcxel house. He vpntured into
the door of the place. but before he had
gone far he felt hand on his shoulder

SPORT FOR ALL
HARVARDIANS IN

There will be no chance for first.
class athletes to be overlooked in
the shuttle at Harvard next year.
according to an announcement by
athletic officials several days ago
Harvard, since the war. has been
working on the sport for ALL pro-
gram. The new system has proved
quite effective and interesting, and
the Crimson officials always on the
alert to improve, have adopted
plan to examine all students O.

In this way it is hoped certain in

places with the varsity squad. will
be found and the instructors will
be able to give the necessary en-
couragement to have the young
sters seek further development
along specialized lines. The idea
will involve a lot Of work, but
those in charge at Harvard declare
the possible results to be obtained
more than pay for the extra effort.

WOULD CLEANSE
WRESTLING GAME
WITHIN CHICAGO

Chicago sport writer's have
started a crusade to cleanse the
wrestling game. All wrestling
shows are being thoroughly in
spected this winter, and mat ar
lists who do not perform to the
best of their ability are to be black
listed and Chicago promoters asked
to refrain from booking them. The
promoters, about dozen in num-
Der, have volunteered to cooperate
liz the plan, in exchange for sup
port from the press for shows that
are worthy of public patronage.
One of the first moves of the cru
SADIE will be to do away with the
employment of amateur wrestlers
who receive their first education in
the mat sport from city playground
Instructors. 1t is said some Of the
promoters have been booking these
lads under fictitious names, and
billing them as residents OF nearby
cities The practice, according to
the writer's. makes for deception
and also robs the youngsters Of
their amateur standing. The scribes
are also urging the municipal au-
thorities to license the wrestling
sport and grant permits only to
those promoters who are willing to
arsist in restoring the ancient pas
time to it's former popular place in
the estimation of fandom. Because
Of the large foreign population.
wrestling has been leading sport
in Chicago for the past five years.

APPEAL FOR Is
BOWLING TEAMS
Chance for Firms to Promote Their
Interests and Sport At Once
Says Schieberl

The American Bowling congress
will hold its annual A. B. c. tourna-
ment at Peoria beginning March 10
and continuing for about five
weeks. During that time thousands
of Americas best bowlers who as
senble the very best bowling teams
in the world go to this annual affair
from all parts of the United States.
Peoria with its wide awake bus
mess men who are behind the
chamber Of commerce has in the
past put in substantial bids, and
were successful enough as result
to land these big affairs two or
three times in the past seven years,
whereas such cities as Cincinnati,
Toledo, Milwaukee, st. Louis or
Kansas City are usually the sue
cessful bidders. Peoria besides the
numerous responsibilities it must
assume in the promotion of this
tournament, had to guarantee a
large number of five man teams to
compete.

portunities for the tri-cities to adj
vertise the community and put
themselves on the map the same as
they do with baseball, football and
other sport.
The tri-cities are equally fortu-
nate in having the congress held so
close at home If the manufactur-
ers and business men will give their
support in sending not less than Is
teams to Peoria, we will be on the
bowling map which embraces a
sport whose fans are of the best
type of manhood. Bowling has long
been considered as the leading in
door sport of the world. Should A
business man or manufactures
enter a team under the name Of the
commodity he sells or manufac-
lures, it is transmitted over every
wire in the country, and for the

little money invested he is the one
who benefits thereby.
Chicago, which will no doubt be
the best represented visiting city,
has through Judge Howard OF that
city, promised the A. B. c.. 161 five
men teams this year, which means
one team to every mile between
Chicago and Peoria. To date they
have entered more than l40 teams
with IA more days in which to COM
plete their task. Among the list OF
teams entered appear very few
names of private clubs. Most are
entered under the name OF some
concern who either pays the entry
fee. or railroad fare, and in many
cases both.

mum at Is teams" said E. W
Schieberl, secretary of two local
bowling clubs, I'VE will do better
than Chicago, figuring from q
standpoint of population. and as
we'll as Peoria which has entered q
number of teams. We have the
bowlers and we have the hackers
A train of local fans will be on the
scene at Peoria on 'Tri-City day to
see the boys in action. That has
been assured.
"In behalf of the future and well
fare of the tri-cities, and with re-
spect to the cleanest sport Of all
bowling. l appeal to the business
men and manufacturers who have
appropriated money for advertising
purposes to have their advertising
managers not overlook the A. B. C
at Peoria, and be ready to tall

state that the local papers are al

RECONSTRUCTION PLANS
OF MEXICO OUTLINED
Minister Of Finance AIvafado Says
Justice Inspires All Acts of Pres
ent Government.

New York. Aug. 2O.-The reconstruc-
ton program of the new govern.
ment of Mexico was outlined by Gen.
Salvador Alvarado minister Of finance
of the republic of Mexico, in an ad.
dress at dinner given in his honor.
1--WE are starting on vast program
of reconstruction" he said, $50 it will
be we'll advanced when the new presi-
dent takes office. All capable men, re-
CARELESS of their political; or religious
views, are being brought into action.
and the new government is to be run
the same as private enterprise.
Among the things we hope to ac-
complish are the reorganization Of the
banking system, reorganization of
transportation, rehabilitation of rail-
marine.
1.-THE majority of those forming
part Of the present government are
progressive and enthusiastic young
men. Some of them were educated in
this country and were in business be-
fore they joined the revolution, but
none of them was a professional poll
tician. This group of men is exerting
a powerful influence, in order that the
most rigid honesty be at once devel-
oped in all BRANCHES of public admin
istration. Having this in mind, a
civil service commission will soon be
established. and administration schools
will be opened in the universities so
that all public offices will be filed by
men properly trained and untram-
meled from political influence as here
