WILL PADDOCK WIN?

Will history repeat itself when Earl Caddock meets StanisIaus ZbqszIko for the worlds heavy weight wrestling championship in Madison Square Garden next Monday night? If it does. then a new champion will be crowned that evening.
 Four years ago Caddock won the heavyweight tiIte from Joe Stecher at Omaha Stecher had just finished continental tour. meeting all sorts of wrestlers. but not opposing any of the calibre of Caddock. Stecher reached the battle-ground a day ahead of the big match, and was not s'Set'' for a hard match. As a result Cad dock won the championship when Stecher was physically un- able to return to the ring after each had gained a fall.
 There is a similarity of condi- tions in the present case. Zbysz- ko has just completed a tour of the states, meeting all corners and downing them with little dIfhcuIty. The question arises: Has he sufficient time to get into proper condition for champion ship match? Unless Zbyszko is at his best form Caddocl< is al- most certain to detrone him. for the soldier-wrestEer is said to be in the best shape of his mat ca reer.
 Another factor in Caddoclx's fa- vOr is that a man of his compar- ativelN small size has an advan- tage over a heavier opponent un- der the new rules that govern wrestling in this state. With flying and rolling falls counting boc aI victory than he would if only pin falls were permitted.
 PENDLETON SEEKS MATCH Nat Pendleton, the former Olymp! nd national amateur champion laims he can defeat either Caddoc r Zbyszko and wants to match wit 1em. He says he would prefer Zby zko, because he believes he know is style and can beat him easily.

Baseball followers generally.

Baseball followers generally" says a writer in the Louisville Courier Journal, would rejoice if Babe Ruth's sentence were frightened. Ruth erred, as all humanity does at all times aand he was criticized at the time just as severely as his defiance of authority deserved. There has been, however, since the day that Judge Landis pronounced sentence, a laudable silence on Ruth's part si- lence that is more mmendab b1e in view of the temptation to publicity that would enhance Ruth's value in vaudeville. The visit to the Landis home was in keeping with what had gone before.
 Ruth, baseball's greatest att ac- ton, has made no attempt to take ad- vantage of the position. He probably will suffer nothing in a financial way by being idle since he can make his salary demands cover the fine and the period of idIeness, but he knows that his employers and his team mates will suffer. Hence he subor- aintees the personal for the general ~nO6
