AMERICUS ARGUES
AGAINST HEADLOCk
Princeton Coach Thinks the
Hold Should Be Barred.

PRINCETON, n. j., Jan. 29.--Gus
Schoenlein, known in wrestling circles
as "Americus' and coach of the Prince
ton wrestling team, Is strongly opposed
to the deadlock and declares it should
be barred in the interest of fair sport.
IF used to. normal degree he
stated, "I see no objection to the head
lock. 1t is as fair to one man as it is
to another, for every contestant has an
equal opportunity to develop it and use
it. 1t is no more harmful than numerous
other holds in the catch-as-catch-
game, such as the full nelson. which may
break mans neck; the head scissors,
and various methods of lifting man
into the air and heaving him down.
which will frequently knock him uncon-
scious Notwithstanding these facts,
however. in my opinion the good name
of the sport is right now in serious dan
ger, for the majority of people who see
the matches do not want to see man
beaten by being knocked senseless by
mere superiority of brute strength. What
the American public wants TO see is
clever scientific wrestling, embodying a
multiplicity of holds and breaks. COM
bined with a lot of fight and grit The
narrowing down of the game to the use
of one particular and dangerous hold
to me really spois the game. for all the
aggressor is working for is that hold.
while his opponent, not daring to open
up for fear OF being caught in the hold,
will play cautious. conservative game,
which is not conducive to interesting
wrestling"
Another noteworthy point which
Schoenlein brought up was that in the
catch-as-catch-can game all holds were
originally permissible, and 1t was the old
Stranger Lewis of Farmer Burns's
time who perfected the strangle hold to
such a degree that 1t was barred. Again
he cited the case of Frank Gotch and
his famous toe hold. In many OF the
cities In which Gotch wrestled the toe
hold became so unpopular that 1t was
forbidden. Yet in both these cases the
restriction OF their holds did not lessen
the degree Of each mans ability and in
each case they Immediately turned their
attention to the development of other
holds.
such would be the case with Ed
Lewis" Schoenlein declares 'TIis
knowledge of wrestling goes far beyond
the deadlock. When ] wrestled him
that was merely one OF his many holds.
1t is my opinion that should he be de-
prived Of his deadlock hold he will still
rank as one of the worlds greatest
wrestlers."

GETS LEG ON BUERMEYER
Mark Arie, in Field of rs,
Misses Only One Of His One
Hundred Clay Birds.
BY KERR n. PETRIE.

Unable to appear at the Sportsman's
Show in Madison Square Garden be-
cause the arrangements for their par
ticipation at that function had not
been completed, an army of seventy
six gunners bore down upon the
Travers Island traps of the New York
Athletic Club yesterday virtually doub-
ling the usual week end allotment and
well nigh swampinG those engaged to
throw the clay birds and attend to the
other details of these contests. Need
less to say this is the biggest array of
talent that has appeared at Travers
Island since the present season opened.
While members of the New York
A. G. were, of course, greatly in the
majority there were a great many
guests on hand, among them being
Mark Arie, former national and last
Olympic champion, now turned profess
sonal who treated both contestants
and onlookers to polished exhibition
of clay pigeon shooting. AS matter

sustained. for Arie powdered one after
another of those saucer shaped homers
until there was almost as much of their
of powder. 1t looked as IL he would fin
ish with a clean slate, too, but IN the
last quarter he missed once and there
fore left off with a total of SO to his
credit
But although he was high gun Arie
was not the only one that left the field
with the laurel sprigs frisking with the
powder marks on his brow. The gun
ners were keyed up to concert pitch,

NEW AUTO LOCK
THWARTS THIEVES
1T Is on the Safe Combination
Order and Defies
Experts.

1t looks as if l. p. Geraghty has in
vented something that will effectually
thwhrt the automobile thief. There are
many locks on the market, but the best
that most OF them do is TO delay the
thief in his operations. That is some
thing. Of course. but still It must be adj
mltted that TO date the thief is con-
siderably ahead of the lock makers in
ingenuity.
Mr.. Geraghty has invented a device
that locks the car in eleven places. 1t
is controlled ty a combination like a
safe and has proved 100 per cent. ef-
fic.ent. 1t requires only two movements
to accomplish its wholesale locking
operation. You press button with your
foot and at the same time twist your
combination device on the DASH and
presto your hood is locked in six places.
your carbureter is locked. also your
engine at the throttle. Your ignition is
broken and the very device itself.
through the sliding Of steel plate back
OF your instrument board, is made proof
against removal
The device was brought 10 the HERALD
office the othor day and thoroughly ex-
planned by the inventor. Manufacturing z
arrangements are under way and the
lock will be on the market within very
short time.
Il will be possible for the owner OF one
of these locks not only to foil thieves
but to stop joy riding
A smaller device has been made for
Fords. 1t is also on the sefo combina-
ton order One of Mr.. Geraghty's asso-
ciates recently left Ford car in pub
lie garage with the device locked and
offered to give the car to anybody who
could drive it away under its own power.
Many chauffeurs tried in vain to get the
car going. A safe expert tried for
hours to get the large lock open and
finally gave it up.

vices may be obtained by writing to the

Stranger LewiS'S Head
Lock Causes Protests

exhibitions, yet the physiological aspect
may not be generally known. Asked as
to the immediate and ultimate effects Of
the punishment inflicted by the head lock
DIR. Morris sherman of Sea Gate replied
that It depended largely or the manner
in which the pressure was exerted.
"If" said he. 1.-The pressure is put on
above the ears, ON the thickest part of
the SKULL there is little danger of frac-
ture. The effect of tho compress is to
shut off the supply Of blood to the head
and brain. producing vertigo, and event.
uaily unconsciousness. IL the pressure
is exerted on the jaw and base of the
skull there is danger Of a fracture OF
the jaw.
"Only an athlete of remarkable vigor
can withstand the effects of such pres
sure on the skull. and even the hardest
wrestlers are apt to experience i'll after
effects"
as the case stands. there is not a
wrestler in the world who can survive
the application of the head lock by
Lewis.
Shrady Condemns Hold.
George +. Shrady writes to THE New
YORK HERALD as follows: Brutality in
athletics should no longer be encour-
aged or even tolerated. Exhibitions
similar to that at the Seventy-first Reg
iment Armory should be cried down by
all lovers of clean, true sport 1t is not
necessary for one athlete to MAIN an
other in order to render contest inter-
esting. 1t is most gratifying, however.
to find that there were so many present
who disapproved of the so-called head
lock- as practised by one of the con-
testants. According TO the published
accounts, no less than three splendid
athletes have recently been rendered
hors de combat by the brutal head lock.
One, It is claimed. has been permanently
injured. why not return to the good
old fashioned game. as pr2ttised by
such exponents of wrestling as William
Miller William Muldoon. Clarence A.
Whistler, Edwin Bibby, Andre Christol
and others? Wrestling in those days
was superb exhibition of science.
strength and endurance. without any of
the brutalizing features of the present
time. BY all means let us eliminate the
head lock- the body scissors and the
toe hold and thus minimize the danger
Of injury to contestant
