Bar Harrier After Men
Wager on His Chances
Unprecedented Action by Ref
cree Strikes the Finnish
Runner Eager.

Because he admitted that his friends
had bet on him to win. August Eager, a
barrier Of the Finnish-American A. c..
was barred from the three and three
quarter mile road race of the Excel
Club of Yorkville yesterday by Andrew
Walsh. the referee. The action of Walsh,
who is an old amateur champion and a
firm believer in keeping A. A. U. sports
free from the taint of gambling, Is with
out a precedent in the world of amateur
athletics. But It will undoubtedly be
approved by the Amateur Athletic Union.
under whose sanction the race was con-
Quoted, and may lead to even more
drastic action against the athlete.
FaEer's protest against the action Of
Edward Weirnan. manager of the race.
in cutting his handicap in the absence Of
the official Handicapped OF the Metro
politan A. A. u, led to the unprecedented
ruling OF the referee. George Matthew's,
the official Handicapped, had allotted the
limit handicap OF 3 minutes 80 seconds
TO the Finnish runner. not knowing that
Eager had won a road race in Paterson
from the same mark week ago.
However. when Matthews turned over
his time allowances for all entrants 70
Mr.. weiman he told the manager of the
race that he might be prevented from
witnessing the event. In which case Mr..
Weiman was authorized to cut the han
dicap OF the Paterson winner II his name
appeared on the list of entrants.
When Eager appeared on his mark
with the limit men Mr.. Welman asked
him IL he had won the Paterson race.
Eager answered in the affirmative. and
weiman told him that because OF the
victory he would have 10 take one min
ute off the original handicap. and asked
Rager TO start with the men who had
been assigned 2 minutes 80 seconds.
Eager protested vehemently against the
change in his allowance, bun Weiman
was obdurate. so the Finn appealed TO
the referee. That official sustained
weimans decision. After he had done
so Eager became wildly excited and
shouted to the referee. why. Mr.. Walsh.
I must start from the 3 40 mark because
all my friends have bet money on me to
win. and if I have TO concede an extra
minute to tho limit men IL will hurt my
chances OF winning. and don't want my
friends TO lose their money"
When, i, Eager had finished Walsh
looked at him sharply and said: You
cannot start In this race from any
mark, now. 4 RUE you out pccbuSe
your friends are gambling on your
chances OF winning. l don't approve
Of athletes with friends who bet on
them. Go to your dressing room" The
referee then ordered the race to go on
without Eager. Later Walsh. In com
menting on his action In the case. said
that In his opinion the only way to
keep amateur sport clean is to cxpel
from It's ranks all athletes who bet on
Themselves or whose friends make
wngcrs ON them.

Leading italian Grapplers to
Clash Tonight in
Newark.
ny CHARLES r. MATHIsoN.

The wrestlers viii have an inning to-
night, and 1t will be the first pin fall
contest since Chairman Muldoon put the
rolling fall skids under the sport. The
combats will take place in the First
Regiment Armory. Newark. and as some
Of the best grapplers in this vicinity
will participate there should be a con-
siderable amount Of enthusiasm at the
ringside.
A potent magnet will be the rule of
pin falls, which all the spectators will
be able to see and not be compelled to
take the referees word for 1t.
The leading event will introduce two
of the leading grapplers OF italian
origin In the persons OF Renato Gardini.
who claims to be the best wrestler that
ever came from sunny ITALY, and Geor-
gio Calza, who insists he won the cham
.pionship of his native land before he
embarked for this dear America. There
Is intense rivalry between these men
and there promises to be a bitter con-
test. Gardini is the elder and las had
the greater amount of experience. while
Calza Is a veritable Hercules. with the
combativeness.
Another attractive bout will bring
into tho ring Nat Pendleton. former
Columbia College boy, and Vladels
Zbyszko. They are we'll matched and
should furnish excellent entertainment.
There will be other bouts and If The
wrestling patrons are anxious to see
pin fall matches they will crowd the
Jersey armory.
Jimmy Johnston. whose cluster Of pos
sible conquerors of Jack Dempsey faded

opponents, will play his trump card at

night This gladiator is none other than
Frank Johns, who under the name of
Young Rockefeller was regarded as
the bright particular star of the John
ston troupe Of unframed ring terrors.
His appearance in the ring Tomorrow
night will be his first since the eagle
eye of Johnston lighted on his burly
form. Johns Is to meet a man with
the prosaic name of Joe Didas. This
man started his ring career with the
truculent name of Spike McF'adden. but
tho Boxing Commission ordered him to
return to his original patronymic. Johns
Is six feet tall and weighs 210 In good
condition. Ddas is also big chap and
the clash should be interesting.
