 Budget for Sports

SyracUSe.-Schetiu in all branches of athletics except foot ball at Syracuse University will be cut down this year in an ef- fort to decrease expenditures. The treasury of the athletic aS- SOciation is very low, it was stat ed today. and many expenditures which have been authorized otli- CT years will Ice Topped off by the governing board.
 Crowds at the football games last year were large, but in spite of this the receipts failed to clear up the indebtedness, and now the association is behind about $f2,- 900. There has been a deficit in the coffers for the last few years, and last Fall the govern ing board tried to boost the grid- iron contests to draw big enough to pay off o'd debts.
 All three of the big home tits, however, were disappointing, from financial standpoint. They were the Colgate, Pitt and w. and J. games. the w. and J. battle, especially being below the expectations. while Pitt and Col gate did not attract the usual number of spectators.

 Head Lock In Weird Exhibition-Ivan Linow #@ Winner Over Bohemian Champion

Bridgeport sports came across with their dough last night to gaze upon Ed "Strangler'' Lewis. wrestling champion of the world, in bout with Stasia Padoubney, the Polish giant. There was a crowd of about 1000 on hand at the Casino when the pair of grapplers stripped for their exhibi- ton, and while the exhibition be- tween the champion and the Pole was one-sided affair. the spectators got brief glimpse of the famous head lock-"

 "SDlcndid. splendid beyond de- scripti2n. Never in my life has anything given me such a thrill as Ritchie Mitchell gave in that ring. Those boys were hardly face to face when there was n spring. a blow and a crash. Mitchell was on the floor. Up again and down in n heap; up once more and down he went.

 "It docs not matter to mo that Iitchic Mitchell could not win: that the great champion arose and shook himself together and at last beat Mitchell down.

Bob Martin, the former heavy weight champion of the A. D. F., who will meet Bill Brennan at the Gar den on February 5 in the star bout of IS rounds, has record of six teen knockouts for the year of 1920. Among the ones who have, taken the count are Larry Williams, formerly of this city. in the first round at Bos- ton, and Sergt. Ray Smith, in the fifth round at Columbus, O.
 His record has nineteen bouts for the last year, and only one is on the wrong side of the ledger; that to icn affairs. On September IA at St. Louis he pulled the iron man stunt and met two the same night, knock ling out Jack Kelly in the first round, and losing to Ray Smith a foul in the second end of the double header. But Brennan ought to have no trouble with the former army man.
 Johnny Shugrue, the Waterbury lightweight bids fair to surpass the record his brother Joe made in the - ring before he lost his sight, causing g him to give up the ring. After his the other night, he was offered a bout with the veteran Harry Carlson, at Worcester, but his brother, who does not doubt the outcome, prefers to keep him in the bushes a while longer until he has a bit more of ex- perience. Which is wise for Johnny. There is many a good chap spoiled by rushing him.
 The bout with Cahill put $964 into Shugrue's pocket, which, according to his brother, is the smallest he has made in a year. Shugrue's earnings in the city of Worcester alone has been $3500, so it can be seen thai the youngster is drawing down the largest purses outside of Boston.
 Joe Hall, the popular Bridgeport featherweight, is training hard fol his bout with George Proto, of New Haven. at the Elm City on January 31. They will meet in an S-round preliminary to the Murphy Pinking ton affair at the Arena Halls las
