a corking good scrap from start to finish

Coach Morrison of the Leaders made
repeated substitutions in an effort to

fast passing being his greatest asset.
Starbuck also performed well at center.

Clark and Reed performed well for the

THREE ELIGIBLE
FOR MAY 20 DATE

At a meeting of the city boxing com
mission Tuesday night the list of appli-
cants for the May 20 boxing permit here
was cut to three after a long discussion
engaged in by the commissioners and
promoters The commission will meet
later to make dnal decision Commission
erS VIM, Tyndall and MOroney spoke IN
length on the Importance Of the day be
fore-the Speedway race permit and It
was their opinion that the work required
in promoting an exhibition that the May
20 permit called for was too great Tor
non professional men and organizations
to ATTEMPT The three clubs still eligible
to obtain the grant are the Indianapolis
Athletic Association cooperating the Indl-
annapolis baseball club. the Progress
Athletic Club represented by rom pI-
lon) and the Greater indianapolis Atm
letic Club represented by Sam Murbar-
ger) The promoters representing these
organizations all are experienced ana
familiar with handling pro-sport events
and were thought better able to cope
with the many problems that VIII come
up in staging an important fistic affair.
There We're about twelve applications
filed for the May 20 permit and people
familiar with that Speedway boxing sho"
expressed the opinion that the promoters
who were eliminated last night Will be
shaking hands with themselves Wneu
they realize the amount OF GRIEF that
probably will he attached to the coming
event in the way Of finances, weather
and crowds. .
Both the indianapolis Athletic Club
and the Progress Athletic Club men
toned Benny leonard, lightweight cham
pion, as their probable main attraction
while the Greater Indianapolis Club men
toned Jack Britton, welterweight cham
pion. However, when the terms OF these
champs are sought, 1t is likely the pro-
motors will get shock.
One fan suggested last night that Gene
Tunney, light heavy champ, and Chuck
Virgins be considered Tunney Is a
nopUlar favorite and not so high priced
as Leonard and Britton, while Virgins
is a home boy and well backed by a large
following. Virgins might not defeat
Tunney. but it is the opinion in local ring
circles that he would give Gene plenty
Of opposition. In a bout held In the
Feast before Tunney became champion,
Martin Burke barely lost on points to
Gene, and later Virgins defeated Burke.

Wilcox ScOrching

Mother sign of spring. "Howdy'
Wilcox Is pounding the bricks out at the

Ger. WILCOX has been rebuilding the
PeugeOt that won the 50O-mile event at
the Speedway in 1919, and he wants to

wilcox said Tuesday night that he had
not entered the car in the big 1922 event
yet and would not do so until he was
positively convinced that it would with
stand the punishment he intends to give

Reynolds Is Victor
in Straight Falls
OUer X. C.. Wrestler
Jack Uses Double WriSt-LOck
EfectiUeIy-LeLUiS May
Meet LinOU.

In the main wrestling go at the Broad
way Theater last night, Welterweight
Jack Reynolds won two falls from Vic
Miller, the "hammer-lock king" of Kan
sas City. Ivan Linow the Russian
Lion" Of New York, was too big and
powerful for the clever Carl La Due of
Montreal, and Linow won both falls.
Reynolds met a different type of
wrestled in this city. Miller is a man OF
exceptionally stOcky build. He has short
legs and arms and his mat position was
entirely different from any man who has
wrestled at the Broadway. His build
made it almost impossible to successfully
get a toe hold on him. The toe hold is
one of Reynolds favOrites and Jack was
forced to change his style of attack.
This resulted in Reynolds playing for
arm and neck holds. While Reynolds
successfully worked the deadlock num-
Der of times the exceptional power and
strength of Aiiller's neck caused the
champion to change this style of Offense.
There seemed little to choose between
the men in the first part of the match,
but suddenly Reynolds obtained double
wrist-lock on his husky opponent. Miller
was forced to the mat and attempted to
twist out of the painful hold The cham
piOn put his DO " across the Kansas city
athlete and locked his other arm with
a scissor Then he exerted all his
strength and put the pressure on the
double wrist-lock. There could be but
one result. Miller, unable to twist out
OF the nOlO, COuiO not endure Tue pam
ana gave up Reynolds won the first fall
in 16 minutes and 80 seconds.
Credit must be given he Kansas city
wrestler, for re came back 20 the mat
and fought Reynolds for thirty nine
minutes. 1t was a splendid exhibition
of wrestling, but Reynolds finally OBJ
talned the double wrist-Iock on his op-
pOnent again and forced Miller to the
mat preventing him from turning out
Of the hold by securing a scissors on
Miller's head. Twice during that thirty
nine minutes did Miller twist out of the
double wrist-lock, but the third time
Reynolds prevented this by use Of the
scissors hold.
The management is making an effort
to get Stranger Lewis to come to In
dianapolis to meet Ivan LinOw. A tele-
gram was sent Lewis manager last
night. Linow has been too powerful for
the wrestlers who have met him on the
local mat. La Due, who lost to tie
Russian Lion" last night, was clever,
but there was about 45 pounds difference
in weight between the TWO heavyweight
mat men and a wrestler to have a
chance with the giant Linow must weigh
far over the 200 pound mark.
