that time Frank Gotch has died,
and Stanislaus comes to Birming-
nam this time as the undisputed
mat champion OF the world.
Old wrestling fans will remem-
Der the early days of wrestling
mere when the game began to
popularize itself. The elder lib
bic was here, the tallSative Dock
Roller and many other mat celeb-
rifles. Ed Lewis. from whom
Stanislaus wrested the title some
months ago, was just a good kid
IN those days. and in hts bouts
here Dock Roller had little
trouble in pinning Eds shoulders
TO the mat.
The Doctor, however. a self.
admitted Bear Cat, could do moth
Ing with Stanislaus Zybszko.
They met three times, l think. In
1914 In Birmingham, and Dock
suffered a sappointment each
time. libby was too big and too
powerful. Once Dock clamped a
terrific toe-hold that lasted some
minutes and caused face contor-
tons on the part of the victim,
but libby by super human twist
came out of the torture, and went
after Dock like a wild man.
Prisoner During War
The patriotic spirit caught
Stanislaus during the war and he
went back TO Poland to shoulder
arms. ANgreater part of the war
he languished In an Austrian pris-
on, but managed to keep his fine
physical condition from deterior-
ating. With the coming of peace
and freedom he shipped again for
the United States and placed his
affairs in the hands OF Jack Her
man, his former manager.
Jack was glad to see him Jack
had dabbled extensively in the
moving picture industry and it's
said that he went In the game
with lots more than he took out
of 1t. Jack picked up right where
he left off and after libby had
disposed of a number of young
aspirants, he was booked with Ed
Lewis, champion. who had risen
from the ranks OF the second
raters while Stanislaus was in
Europe.
Ed had seen zibble handle Dock
Roller, when the Dock was in
his prime. Still. he figured the
privations Stanislaus had under
gone during the war, and his adj
vanced age would go against him.
A match was arranged and the
"old man" pinned Eds shoulders
to the floor, and grabbed off the
title. This time he's coming to
Birmingham as champion, and
he has many admirers here who
will be glad to look at his wares
again.
zibbie, while the greatest In
the game, Is the most spectacular
by no means. He's as broad as
he's long and depends largely
upon main wAight and awkward
ness to win his matches rather
than the new-fangled and sensa-
tional holds.

HARDEE TALKS ON
PRISON POLICIES
Governors Meet at Charles
ton-BuSinesS Session
Held Today

Charleston, S. c.. December e.
Prison management was discussed to
night in the house of governors after
an address on this theme by Carey
A. Hardee. governor of Florida.
Gov. Thomas e. Campbell of Ari-
IONA was in the chair.
Governor Hardee said there are
two schools of thought with relation
to prisons, the sentimental and the
practical. The former lavishes SYM
rathy upon the criminal, he said, and
creates lack of respect for the law.
The practical criminologists believe
that society is entitled to protection
from the criminal and that widows
and orphans of murder victims should
be fully protected, he declared.
Governor Hardee further stated
that too much cuddling kills the pur-
pose of the law in the soul of weak
men. He explained that a convict
should be self-sustaining. but should
return a profit to his state in COM
pensation for the money spent in as
surfing him of fair and impartial
trial. With respect to young offend
ers, Governor Hardee said he favored
correctional institutions, but that
hardened criminals were not entitled
to similar treatment.
Cows. Robert A. Cooper of South
Carolina and william S. Sproul OF
Pennsylvania were late in reaching
the night conference, as they ad-
dressed an educational mass meet
ing under the joint auspices of the
American Legion and the National
Educational association
A business session of the COVER
nors will be held tomorrow forenoon
In the early afternoon they will he
guests on the destroyers Reid and
Case. Attention of the governors was
directed to the fact that there is now
gathered here the largest force OF
destroyers ever assembled in one har-
Dor, more than 100 torpedo craft.

Selma, December Especial J.
Canvassers from the ranks of club
women of Selma have secured $500
for the Carnegie library book fund,
annually raised by public subscription,
and Miss Bette Keith, librarian, and
members of the library board are
pleased at the response from the
public. This entire sum will be used
for books. and is the only money
available for this purpose, as the 500
received monthly from the city of
Selma is barely enough to cover the

Vanderbilt Is Independent
The Commodore attraction is
always great drawing card,
and bids fair to be more so than
ever next season. Still, It does
seem those in charge up Wander
bilt way are a bit obstinate and
bull-headed. They find It hard
TO reach an agreement with any
body.
Efforts of Tech and Centre to
get games with the Commodores
next year, and the fact that the
game with Alabama and the pro-
posed contest with the Auburn
Tigers fell down, tends to show
that it's mighty hard matter to
reach an agreement with those
in charge Of Commodore book
ings.

it's going to give the dopesters
a more difficult task than ever

pected of her in 1922.
