 Should the headlock be barred

Stecher was made to stagger about like d drunken man. and a se- ries of these holds at last succeeded making him unconscious and cost him his title. Stecher is now in a hospital in Omaha.

SPRINKLER Fl LEWIS CLAMPS
 HEAD LOCK IN
 EARL PADDOCK

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.--Ed CStrang- ler) Lewis of San Jose. Cal, sucCcss- fully defended his worlds heavyweight catch -as- catch can wrestling title here tonight by throwing Earl Caddock. a former champion. in one hour and 34 minutes. Lewis won with combined head and hip lock.
 The winning fall came as dramatic climax to one of the most terrific mat struggles ever seen in the east Cad dock appeared to be the winner up to within one minute of the finish.
 After an hour and a half of wrestl- ing Caddock gained a punishing toe hold and for a minute and ten seconds he struggled to force Lewis shoulders to the mat. The champion in his agony beat the floor with his fists and cried aloud. but his voice was drowned in the terrific uproar for Caddock . The former soldier was a tremendous favorite with the 10000 spectators
 Twice Referee George Bothner asked Lewis if he would quit. but twice he refused. although his face was greatly distorted.
 With a last desperate effort he kicked himself free and staggering to his feet leaped upon Caddock and clnmpcd his famous deadly hcadlock around the Iowan's face. Three times Caddock broke the punishing hold and staggered to his feet only to have Lewis regain the grip
 On the second and third lccks Lewis picked up Caddock bodily and threw him to the floor, plunging his yc cS.l, 0u top Of the fast weakening chal- lenger. The second crash, combined w th the gruelling punishment which C1ddock had received. left him help lfes and he collapsed on his back as the referee slapped Lewis. the winner
 When Lewis rolled off of Caddock thc latter lay like dead man on the floor and when his manager and others scrambled through the ropes to his assistance. it was all they could dl to lift him to his feet A chair was placed beneath him in the center or the ring. but he rolled to the floor a~ain and a call was made for a doc tor.
 This drove the crowd to frenzy | for Caddock had been cheered Justify throughout the evening while Lewis was steadily booed and derided. Cries , Of "kiil the murderer" went up and there was a concerted rush for the | ring. Caddock's manager waved tho c cited wrestling fans back and when .

 At the beginning of the match the veights were announced as Lewis 23s p9unds Caddock 1SS pounds.

which does not throw a man except by making him almost unconscious, seems contrary to the spirit of the game-the objective of which is to pin two shoulders to the mat.
 However. as Lewis argues, the head lock has been in existence a long time and no question was ever raised until he painstakingly perfected it and used it successfully. And because he wins a championship with it his opponents wish to take it from him. Lewis men tions the toe hold. made popular by Frank Gotch and now used by Zby- zsl5o. as a parallel case.
 It is true. The hold is parallel ease. The toe-hold. like the headlock, does not throw man-it only tends to cripple him. The toe-hold is even

 The original "Strangler' Lewis the man from whom the present champion takes his name, won that appellation with the use of another unfair hold the "strangle"
 The strangle-h hold is the most dan gerous in the wrestler's repertoire. When pushed to extremes. it Will ren- der a man Unconscious in few sec onds and death has been known to result from it's use. All clubs now

 They might better include those other forms of cruelty - the toe hold ] and the headlock.

Another supporter for an athletic program at the state fair has been found-E. T.. Perry, manager of the Phoenix Grays and one of the leading baseball fans in the southwest, says Pinncy '1cnocked a home run when he presented the plan to Governor Camp bell"
 Mir. Perry has been following athlet- les for a number of years and at one time played professional baseball. He ls well vcrsed in all branches of athletics but his hobby is baseball. When the national pastime began to lose interest here last summer Perry organized the Phoenix Grays and put renewed life into the game finishing the season with a champion club.
 Perry informed the sporting editor or-Thc Republican that he would boost any plan offered for state competition iu athletics. Perry says Count me n favor of anything that will boost clean. wholesome athletics in Arizona Regardless of whether it be football. basketball. baseball. track, boxing or wrestling I am in favor of sports if conducted along clean lines.
 My hobby is baseball. but the townI in Arizona are so situated that it is almost impossible to schedule regular Eames. Miami and Globe play a series
  content to play inter city games; Ray Hayden and Superior have their little ss ssion: Prescott and Jerome try to keep up interest in the national pastimC and the valley teams play against each e her. But representative teams from different parts of the state seldom play orc the ever disputed state champions ship.
 Now f the state fair program car. rios through, and | have every reason to believe it will the Miami-Globe lf1vden Ray teams could play for th' championship of their section Tucsoi 4 and the border cities can play off tho tile down there. the northern part Q trc state can pick the best in that sec lion and the valley can play for th pcnnant down here.

 The hay dealers will request that any other method than by weight be eliminated from the statutes.

HIGHWAY BILL ASKS
 LESS THAN MILLION

The omnibus highway bill which carries a request for appropriations 10 continue the work of the highway de- partment on state through systems and provides funds to match federal aid allotted to Arizona is in possession of the road committee of tho house. The bill. as drawn. provides road construc- ton in every county of the state
 The amount of the appropriation asked for is said .o be under million dollars. which is lcss than one eighth of the bond issue for highway con struction in Maricopa county alone.
 The state highway department in the last fiscal year spent S3.30O,0o0 and in the year before Sf.600, 900. It is be- iieved that much more road construc- ton can be secured during the coming year than previously because of bet tor labor conditions and also because the highway department has much more equipment to carry on the work.

GREECE LIVES AGAIN

1t Is now but little more than II
century since the Greeks began that
great revolt against Turkish tyranny
which brought national independence
and the beginnings of a modern
civilization in the peninsula where
European civilization first came to
light. Today the kingdom. no longer
a little one, seems entering upon an
era Of true prosperity.
All of us who have read history
correctly must hope that the pres
ent war in which Greece is enga ged
against Turks will soon he brought to
a successful conclusion.
Much OF the best that the world
OF today knows in art, literature and
the sciences had its origin in that old
Greek civilization. Indeed, It is true
that II it had not been for Greece
the world might have remained in
darkness.
For this reason we of today must
sympathize with Greece in what. let
us hope. is her last struggle against
tyranny and oppression.
