Mat Men Kicking Against Plan To
 Bar Toe Hold

New Yro&, April 12.-The movement about to be launched in New York looking toward the abolishment of all dangerous holds now in use in the wrestling sport, Is not going to meet with bowling success at the hands of grapplers. The mat men seem quite anxious to bar the head-lock, made famous by Ed (sStrangIer'o Lewis. tut from Champion stecher down they will not consider the elimination of the toe-hold.
 Georsc Bothner. referee and wres- ting authority, has taken it upon himself to cleanse the sport of all holds that are liable to leave a victim, crippled. His willingness to rid the game of dangerous holds encouraged the formation of a sort of association which, according to Bothner will branch out f- real businesslike form efore next winter
 When he was appraised of the inau- Suratlon of campaign to clean up tho game Champion Joe Stecher inn inediately voiced protest on the elim- nation Of the .toe-hold. Stecher -de- elared that he did not want to ap- pear arbitrary, but he felt certain
 "SNAN DS dtA1lCully LII uTdWinS the line, ana. if too much liberty was taken in eliminating the various holds t would not be long until those wres- tiers who have specialized would be unable to compete.
 My scissors hold is really noth- ing new, but I have developed it a little further than wrestlers in the past" said Stecher. Why should | abandon work that has required years rf patient endeavor to develop, just To place myself on level with the aspiring wrestler who has neglected CT was unable to specialize?' Stecher is internationally against the plan
 Bothner admits there will be diff ficuIty in arriving at what holds must go and wslat must remain But he says the wrestling game is certain to deteriorate IA its present condition and the association project is simply a safety first move. Bothner is also much interested in the association project to do away with the talk about a so-called wrestling trust" which te terms an underhand maneuver by those who would kill the ancient pas time. Bothner is qualified to attempt the task he has outlined for himself as he is one of the pest informed wrestling authorities in the country He referees all the big matches in New York.

Colleges s Will Drop Spitball
 Next Season

Boston, April 12,-College baseball pitchers will follow the lead, of the major leaguers and toss the spitball into the ciscard after this season, Ey general consent of the collegiate diamond. managers, each team will be allowed to carry as many spitballers on its roster as it wishes so long as only one of them takes part in any single game.
 Next year no spitball pitching will be allowed. If a man still remains in the college ranks as twirler, he will have to deliver the ball without the bath. And no new spitballers caA break into the ranks.
 The collage baseball games are guided by the major league rules. The present rule forDfds freak pitching and spitball pitching. Recognized spitban- CTS, however, will be given one more years respite from the rule.
 But the colleges have no list of prominent spitball pitchers, so they have deciced to allow saliva twirling enc year longer. The curtain will come down for the last time in June.
 This decision will give many of the good moundsmen in college another chance to shine. Carl Harrison. the sturdy HarT-i T saliva king, will have again an opportunity to turn the Yale sluggers back next June with his splitter" He did it four years ago when the Harvard nine won the inter collegiate baseball championship and then trooped off to war with the pen- Eant.
 Harrison is the only pitcher on the Crimson staff who uses the juice. The rest of the gang have the steam with cut the water. Eddie Goode, Babe" Felton, FfSd Bullard "Tubby'' Clark Reb Russell Everett Hardell all have lots of smoke this season, and will not rely on expectoration Yale has men who can use the sspitte- e~cctively. They will make their last appearance this year. And it won't be one of Harry Lauder's, either.

 Now, another old baseball scout fired in a rattling good letter the other day, signed himself "A Fan, but it's gone the same route as yours being baled up as waste to go back to the paper foundry and made over again. "A Fan," differed from the sentiment you expressed. He said we only had a catcher, third baseman and one outfielder and needed about fifteen more men.
 Of course, he's cratic and talks like fish.
 All things considered, we have no complaint at what the local club has drawn in the baseball lottery this season We have pretty fair team, better than the average, but it needs few props here and there to strengthen it before we can acclaim to the Dixie fans: "We are ready for the enemy, and victory is within our grasp"
 You know and every other fan in town knows this is not correct. But we are in far better shape than was anticipated two weeks ago. We're fairly certain of finishing in the first division and if Molesworth digs up a couple of real ones, maybe three, by the time June 2 rolls around, we IL make somebody know the Barons are in the running.

CROLL MAKES HIT

Griffith came up and slashed out his second hit of the game, hot one right over shortstop. Croll grounded to Spear, who chose to catch Griffith at second. Freeman muffed the throw. however, and all hands went safe. Before the ball could be recovered both runners had advanced a bag each Gooch flew out to Norton, the Panther player mak- ing a beautiful catch of the drive. Coffindaffer sent a sacrifice fly to left and Griffith scored. Silva ended the rally by grounding out, Bradford to Stuart.
 The Barons' fifth run came in the eighth inning. Croll singled cleanly to center field and took third when Johnston completely muffed Speer's toss to first in an attempt to catch the Ba- ronial runner off the bag. Gooch dropped bunt to the pitchers box, Speer choosing to catch Croll at the plate. The Baron shortstop beat the ball by an inch or so and all hands went safe. Coffindaffer was safe at first on Nortons error, when he drop ped Joe's drive to center field Silva popped up weakly to Speer. who dou- bled Coffindaffer at second.

Stewart pop ped up to Griffin. Stevenson singled, scoring Silva from second. Bernsen walked, but Ellis grounded out, Free man to Stuart.
 The Partners came back in the fourth inning with the proverbial crimson ford, first up, singled through first base. Norton grounded out to the in field, Bradford taking second. Free man went out by the same route, Bradford was on third. At this point of the game Coffindaffer and Gooch became crossed up in their signals and the latter let one of Joe's shoots get through him. Bradford scampered across the plate with the tying score. Incidentally, it was the Partners only score during the game.
 For two more innings the Barons could do little with Speers shoots. In the fourth, however, Griffith caught one just right, and the result was a triple to left field. No score resulted.
 Just before the last half of the sixth, Sigman, then umpiring the game, be- came entang1ed in a squabble, and Glazner took the post of honor, if it may be called such. Bernsen came to bat rather angry at the turn of af- fairs and latched onto Speer's first shoot, doubling to left. Johnston re- covered the ball and threw to Freeman, who muffed, and Bernsen took third.

 Coach Charlie Browns Partners stood up to the professionals with gameness and determination and for the first three innings held the Barons down. Speer was in prime form and served his slants up to Moley's hire lings in nice fashion. Speer allowed only seven hits and three earned runs, a remarkable record for the youthful twirler.
 Coffindaffer had little trouble with the college lads. He allowed only four hits, and the one run made off him was unearned, resulting from a passed ball on the part of Gooch, catcher.
 The Barons had men on bases in the first inning, but were unable to force across a score. Speer was rather wild in this frame, but the splendid backing of his team saved him in that inning.
 In the second inning Johnston rapped out single for the Partners, stole second, but died there when both Rowe and Stuart struck out.
