Champ LeWis Wins
Over GFGndOUich in
Great Nat Battle
HeGUieS ShOW Speed of Light
IUeigEits and Stage Thrill
ing Struggle.

In one Of the greatest mat struggles
ever seen by indianapolis wrestling fans
Ed (Strangler) Lewis. heavyweight cham
pion Of the world, last night defeated
John Grandovich two straight falls at the
Broadway Theater. The followers Of the
mat game wanted to see Lewis III his first
match since regaininG his worlds cham
ptonship and Grandoyich, new England
. States title claimant, proved a surprise
not only to the wrestling fans but to the
stranger"
Grandovich, fully as large as the giant
champion, was one Of the fastest and
most aggressive heavywei gifts ever seen
on mat in indianapolis. At times he
had Lewis In trouble and punished him
with powerful armlock that made the
champion twist and fight desperately to
escape the hold. 1t was after about fifty
minutes OF wrestling that Lewis showed
the dazzling speed and the deadly head
lock that made him champion.
Lewis applied this lock three times
on Grandovlch, but each time the East
ern champion broke it. The fourth
time Lewis exerted all his wonderful
strength and slammed the 225-pound
Graudovich onto the mat with such force
that he was ddzed. GranOyich's shoulders
were pinned fat to the canvas. The
time Of the first fail was tiftytwo min
utes.
force Of the hard fall and it was only
matter Of how long he could fight on the
champion Lewis went after Grandovich
Ike whirlwind for the second fail. Get
ting him over with a half reverse nelson,
he locked his arm with a scissors hold
and then twisted the other arm. forcing
GrandOvich's shoulders to the mat. Grand
ovich bridged for four minutes, but could
not escape from the champion. The time
of the second fall was fourteen minutes.
An exhibition of fast wrestling was
seen in the match between Tommy Doc
tor, welterweight championship claimant
of the Rocky Mountain States, and Hugh
Webb of Terre Haute Doctor knew too
much about the mat game for Webb and
won the first fall in IL minutes ana the
second in minutes.
Some day followers Of the mat game
may recall that the first appearance OF
two famous wrestlers, Bennie Neiburger
and Louis Epstein, was in Indianapolis
March Z, at the Broadway Theater. These
boys are 10 year old athletes. Nelour-
ger weighs 100 pounds and Epstein,
kid" brother Of the boxer, weighs ~
pounds The difference in weight spelled
defeat for Epstein last night. Neibur-
ger won the first fall in seven minutes
and the second fall in thirty seconds. / ne
crowd enjoyed the match and when the
bout was over showered coins on the mat.
Neiburger and Epstein each wore
smile that wouldn't come on"

INDIANS SHOW
PLENTY OF GO
IN FIRST WORK
Hendricks Forced to Caution
Players in Opening Spring
Practice at Marlin.
BROWN IS POWERFUL

MARLIN, Texas, March 8.--Under a
red hot Texas sun, the Indianapolis
baseball team in training here for the
1922 American Association race went
through a morning and afternoon prac-
tice Tuesday which sent the players to
the mineral baths tired and willing to
call the opening period an suspicious be-
ginning. The squad, numbering twenty
players, engaged in several hours OF MT
ting, fielding and running practice, IN
the morning and again in the afternoon
followed the same program.
Six pitchers took a turn on the firing
line, but each was taking things easy
under the watchful eyes of Manager JACK
Hendricks, who cautioned the players
about jumping into the conditioning
work with too much vigOr. Petty, Wade,
Seib, Bartlett. Weaver and Hill, which
in camp at this time, tossed the balls IN
an easy fashion to the Tribe hitters, who
banged the slow offerings toward thS
wooden barrier which incloses, the BAH
park. Quite few balls sailed laziIy
over the fence, both right and left field,
and there was merry cracking OF long
pitching, however, viii last only long
enough to get the twirlers in shape, when
they will speed up and hitting coAse-
Quently will not be so free.
The Indians star infeld trOtted on the
field in the afternoon workout and in
cluded Tex Covington, Eddie Sticking,
Hank Schneider and Douglas Baird. Dick
Attreau, recruit first baseman. relieved
-
for some time. Five outfelders chased
fly balls and beIted the bail In great
style. Morrison and Rehg of last year
team, and Brown, Spencer and purcell,
make up the candidates for outheld po-
sitions.
Two sessions will be held daily until
March IS, when Hendricks will take his
club to play the Galveston team on the
latters field. The Giants will be played
at San Antonio several days later.
Eddie Brown, the outfelder obtained Of
the Giants in the SINNERS deal IS q Giant
fellow. In the batting practice OF the
first day Brown shot Il line drive down
the third base line like a rife shot and
had Doug Baird backing right and
left. Brown towers above six feet. He
bats from the right side Of the plate.
Manager Jack Hendricks called prac-
tice session for 2:30 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon, but the entire outfit was hard
at work at o'clock which is an in
dication Of the spirit Of the club.
Pitcher Clint Rogge will come into
camp the first part Of next week. as
will Cayet, Kruger and Yerkes. This
will about complete the camp.
Tex Covington is hitting 'em far this
year. He reported in excellent shape.
One Of the new pitching STAFF candi-
dates to make a favorable impression
in the initial workoue was Seib. the
semi pro sensation Of the Staley hide
pendents He looks every inch a pitcher
and appears to be perfectly at home in
the box. Manager Hendricks beat many
other clubs in obtaining the signature
of Seib TO an Indian contract and was
assisted in this respect by Trainer Lot
shaw. Seib is heralded very strongly
and made great record with the famous
Illinois semiprO club.
