Wrestling Very Sick

The wrestling game, as far as New
Yark and vicinity is concerned, seems
to be about defunct. or at least in a
very cOmatose condition. Jack Cur

many trained mat pachyderms, is now
a recluse at Great Neck. Wild Will
Wellman, who will try anything once,
tried wrestling under the new rules
imposed by the boxing commission.
The blow fractured his pocketbook
and put a terrible dent in his sunny
optimism.

A suggestion to the High School

football and basketball?
The committee having the sale of
season tickets in charge have asked
for additional time to make up their
reports and it will possibly be the lat
ter part of the week before their work
is completed. The sale has not met
with the success that it is deserving
of and while the number sold is short
of that estimated as being necessary
to warrant Lakeland commencing the
season the men behind the gun are
not waiting but going ahead with the
work in hand such public spirited
ness is deserving of support from the
followers of the grand old pastime, so
line up fellows and get yours.
The work of putting the playing
field in shape will commence the first
of next week as will work on the new
club house, and it is expected that
both will be ready for the initial work
out scheduled for somewhere around
the twentieth of the month.
