Kid WreckS His Club

Nid Wrecks His Club
 In connection with the mention of the Little Rock club it might be stated that 1t looks like the Kid has gone crazy over in the Arkansas metropolis, and Is even bent on turning out a worse team than the one which repre- sented Razorbackville last sum mer. The other day announce ment was made that he had dis posed of Guy Tutweiler. who came to the Travellers in mid season last year from the Mo bile Gulls.
 Only six men have been re- tained from last years roster by the Kid, and three of these were taken on after the season was almost completed
 In the pitching department he keeps the old reliable Rube Rob inson, who had bad season last year. The Kid probably feels duty bound to retain Robinson, as 1t has been asserted more than once that he ruined Rube's arm by working him too much in ASANf hCh Ae dnDtu OIl AH9 pennant. The other two pitch CTS to be retained are Clary and Evans. both of whom joined the Travellers Tn August last summer.
 He will keep the Indian, Wano, at first. place Zoellers at second and use Jackson at short. Of these three only Wano Is vet eran. Jackson joined the club in t1,f 4Ssss ,,ff,e Iua L.. 1920. when Kid won the pennant. zoellers wts looked upon by the fans around the league as little more than a bat boy.
 The Little Rock pepper box seems resolved to destroy every vestige of the 1920 ball club which romped through the pen nant chase to a flag.

BlnckIey's Great Showing Against "StrangIer" Lewis Encourages His Followers. Draak Said to Be Fastest and. Most SkiIIfuI Grappler

Cliff Binckley, who has become . great favorite with local wrestling fans during the past few weeks, will meet Tom Draak, the Belgian giant. in 8 finish wrestling bout at the B. A. c. tonight.
 Binckley gained fame by his sturdy battle against "Strangler" Lewis here about 10 days ago, when he gained one fall over the veteran headlock king, but lost the second, and was unable to come back for the deciding fall after resisting Lewis dreaded headlock.
 Tom Draak has not wrestled here in two years, but in his last appear ance here made great hit with local fans.
 The preliminsries tonight begin at S;30 o'clock, the main bout following soon after
 Made Good in Bouts
 Binckley has been making Birming- ham his Headquarters for about two weeks now, and has made many friends in the Magic City. His two bouts here. with Farmer Bailey and "Strangler" Lewis, won recognition for him, and he is well on the way to becoming "Blrmingham's favorite wrestler"
 The bout tonight Is expected to be one of the best the Magic City fam dom has ever witnessed. Tom Draak is recognized as one of the leading heavyw eights of the world, while Binckley clearly demonstrated that he is a "comer" when he stood up to "Strangler" Lewis and gave as good as be received, A victory over Draak would mean lots for Binckley, for youngster in the game rarely ever breaks into the inner ring of leaders within year after taking up pro- 5essional wrestling.
 Youth vs. Experience
 Binckley will have it on Draak about four years in age tonight, but the Belgian has years of experience and scores of bouts behind him in his favor. The scrap appears to be one of the most evenly balanced local authorities have yet put on.
 The Binckley -Draak bout brings to- gether two types of grapplers, the extreme scientific and offensive mat man, and the grappler possessing wonder defense.
 Draak is sometimes called the wrestler with a thousand holds" and ia considered about the most scien- tific grappler in the game today. He has shown exceptional speed in nls workouts at the B. A. c. and really seems to have worlds of science ana eksll to back up his tremendous Strength.
 cliff Has Good Defense
 Tn his two previous bouts in Bir- minRham, Binckley has shown an ex- traordinary defense. being able to re- tain his feet under the most trying circumstances. He has shown unusual ability at sauirming- out of holds
