City Athletic club is a man always in
terested in the art of keeping fit. Not

himself, but his sincere motive in life

physical Perfection.
AS athletic director of the K. c. A.
c., Reilly has his chance to do the
good work.

Tommy Tomlinson. for the second
time in a month, proved himself the
Tommy Doctor of Colorado, two falls
out of three at Warnick's hall last
night
The Colorado man started out for
blood. His cat-like work was great,
and the first fall went to Doctor after
bare II, minutes. But the strain
was too much for the older man. After
the first fall he weakened. and Tom
linson's youth and superior strength
enabled him to win the second fall
with BODY scissors and face lock
after fifty-nine minutes of hard work.
The third fall came in five minutes.
Doctor was visibly tired, and could not
resist the body scissors and head chan
Gerry clamped on him by Tomlinson.
The preliminaries were good. Jack
and Junior Busy in three round of
boxing, Jack Rigby and Willard Laf-
ferty in another three rounds and
Poison Ivy and George May of the
industrial school in three more finish
ed the card for the "adolescent''
| fighters.
Five rounds by Jack and Kid
Walters, St Joe lightweights, gave the
| crowd a lot of kick for their money.
Gus Pappas didn't disappoint the
crowd, and as usual, challenged the
winner of the match. He agreed to
throw Tomlinson twice in one hour, if
Tomlinson would consent to the
match.
Personally, we like Tommy Doctor,
He is high-type wrestler. But pro-
fessionally we believe Doctors day is
over. He is too old a man to again
take up the wrestling game. A good
man in his day-but the day is gone.
