Joe STECHER IS
NEARER TITLE

Joe Stecher edged a bit closer to the
worlds wrestling championship the
other night when he threw Wladek
Zbyszko on the mat at New York. The
match was long drawn out, but it had
its spectacular moments, and when the
end final.y came It was with a sudden
ness that momentarily stunned the huge
throng of fans who Janned the armol y
from drill floor to gallery.
The men had been wrestling for more
than two hours and 20 minutes when
Stecher clamped a deadlock on his
bulky opponent Zbyszko wrenched his
head free Of the farm boys Furnishing
grip and struggled to his feet. Pick
Ing Joe up, he held him high above
his head with surprising ease and
whirled him about for moment or two.
Suddenly he hurled him savagely to the
mat and threw himself at him. Stecher,
quick as a panther, rolled free Of the
tumbling body Of the giant Pole, sprang
upon him as he struck the mat and
ensnared him with a combination hold
that proved unbreakable---a head scis
sors and arm lock. For a moment the
spectators were speeches. with amaze
ment. but they speedily recovered the
use Of their vocal chords and cut loose
with yell such as the grim armory
had never known. 1t was a brilliant
and highly satisfactory finish to a con-
test that was tirelessly and courageous
ly waged by both men. Zbyszko, never
very popular In this city, won new
friends by his splendid exhibition, while
Stecher was lionized by the mob as he
struggled valinntly in the general d.
rection OF his dressing room at the con-
ciusion OF the match.

Jim Scott and Jack Fourier appar-

quit their baseball careers at San Fran

engage in the lubricating business in
Seattle.

The present partnership Of Scott and
Fournier dates from friendship es-
tablished when both were members OF
the Chicago White Sox. Scott as one
of the best pitchers OF the American
league, and Fourier as the smuggling
first baseman.
The baseball stars may quit the dia-
nlond for good. unless arrangements
can be made for them to play with the
Seattle ball club for the home games
Of the Rainiers. At any rate, neither
will play with the clubs which now have
title to their baseball services.

efforts
II there is any crime in earning a
silver dollar by honest and upright
means, then the world is full of crmi-
mails and the beggar alone is just and
true.
Summer ball playing Is no more a
menace to collegiate eligibility than
harvesting crop; than clerking In a
bank; than driving car In all in
stances the job Is undertaken because
there is kale attached.
But our learned justices OF collegiate
sports have ruled that the lad who
has accepted pay for his baseball talent
Is professional and is thereby unfit
TO mingle in high-class amateur So
ciety.
Why not include the working class
as whole and thereby reserve the
field for the rich and loafers?
Instead OF discriminating against a
lad OF this type the higher gods should
laud him for his energy and his readi-
ness to do good,
But they don't.

quately and sufficiently, now and for
