BAILEY WILL MEET LEWIS
Wrestling Bout Monday Night Should
Draw Big Crowd.

Farmer Bailey. who meets Ed
Lewis in a finished match at the audi
torium Monday night. has established
a wonderful record for himself.
Among some of the men who have
met their waterloo in the big giant
are Kari STEM. Herman Koch. Fritz
Mohl, Hevenpas and Jack Savage. as
wei as other we'll known wrestlers.
Bailey. who has been substituted for
Joe Parker. the Missouri champion,
who is laid up on account of injuries,
has been in hard training for the past
several months and claims to have
improved his endurance. SO that he
can outstay the attacks OF the cham
pion's sensational deadlock.
The Lewis-B Bailey match will afford
the local fans an opportunity to see
the champion against n man who is
really sincere in his ability to some
day wear the wrestling crown. Bailey
Is elated over the chance to meet Lew
is. While there are few who will
concede to him a chance 10 beat Lew
is, it is generally believed that Lewis
will be forced to the limit in order to
secure a win over the New England
champion giant.
Every indication points to a record
crowd when these two grapplers step
on the mat. The local promoters have
made arrangements to accommodate
a Abig crowd and there has been a
heavy demand for advance reserva-
tiOns.

the Philadelphia Nationals. That is
some rep to live up to, and besides
when Buffalo gets on the job there
will be enough Indians in the camp
to start a war whoop.
It was thirteen straight balls which
the Sapulpa pitchers threw to start
the first inning. Twelve of them
were thrown by Clark and Wilson fed
one to Bockskopf before the Topeka
first baseman hit safely into right,
scoring the first two runs. Clark ap-
peared to have plenty of stuff on the
ball but he just couldn't get 'em over.
When Rose dumped out a grounder
and brought the first inning to a close
it was perfectly satisfactory to the
score keepers Batting more than
once around in one inning causes a
slopover which the guys who made the
score books failed to provide for. But
the score keepers are not going to
kick as long as the stopping over is
done by the home team. They can't
do a thing about it anyway.
The Yanks again this afternoon and
tomorrow. The attendance at the last
two games wasn't as large as it should
have been, but the crowd Sunday
should make up for it.

against the Sapulpa manager. The
only trouble with the show was that
only a few knew what II was all about.

is having trouble with his running

to do much with the stick. Cooley
says he will give BroSs a few days rest
to see if his legs will improve.
Three Indians took part in the
game. The Solons have Wiskeno at
