This announcement by Matty
Zimmerman will gladden. the hearts
Of every wrestling fan In America.
For the last six years Plestina and
his manager, Joe March, have been
hankerfng for a match with Wladek
Zbyszko and their efforts met with
failures. Promoters who were will
ing to put on the match could not
secure Zbyszko, while other pro
motors refused to handle 1t for
various reasons.
"If wrestling is to be put on
q favorable basis, Plestina must be
reckoned with" said Colonel Zim.
norman yesterday. "I don't care
to listen to any Of the managers
or wrestlers' reasons for refusing
to meet the so-called Tarzan of the

others under license of the New

and If he is good enough for them,
then he is good enough for me-
There is only one way to get rid
Of Plestina and that is to beat him. u
Wladek evidently has been won
over by Colonel Zimmerman to the
same frame of mind, for he said
yesterday that he is ready to
wrestle all challengers, and really
prefers Plestina because the latter
has been so persistent that some
of his friends began to feel that he
feared the Czecho. Slovakian.

Defeat Comes To All,
But Giants Never
Thought So

Like all champions, the New
York Giants have run their
course. The confidence born of
so much success as they have
enjoyed has upset their sense
of proportion. They firmly be-
lieved that their pitchers could
stand up before the attack of
the Yankee bats. They be-
lieved that any weakness the
pitchers might have was bal
anced in the great defense of
the infield.
The trouble with the Giants
all season long has been that
they believed that they couldn't
be beaten. This feeling grew
into unreasonable proportions.
The pitching, staff cracked in
this series. It didn't have the
old-time ability to come
through in the pinch. The re-
source of the champions of the
past two seasons has gone. !

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-10-19

Here is Meals plan:
To restore the draft and allow
the majors an. opportunity to draft
one man each fall from Glass IA
club, provided the man selected al
ready had been given a trial in the
majors and had played in as many
as thirty games and provided the
majors were willing to pay $4,000
for such a man and provided the
right to draft from smaller minor
leagues is given and the optional,
player privilege restored.
Meals idea is to preserve the
privilege of the minor league club
developing young stars 1t had
picked up itself.
For instance, Jack Dunn, owner
Of the Baltimore Orioles, In
Guiding the highest priced minor.
league prospect in the country
today in doe Boley, would not
lose BOIey by the draft. He'd
have q right to sell B0ley for
whatever price the majors would
give.
Neal himself has two young ball
players in Dean. pitcher, and
Combs, an outfielder who he is try
ing to sell for $125,000.
That is, he would sell the two to-
gether at that price. He says II
he sells separately he wants $780,
900 for Combs and $4,000 for Dean.
Neal wouldn't be willing to let the
majors draft such fellows.
That's the sentiment all AROUND
club has been fortunate enough to
market a high-priced youngster in
the last year or SO. They've thrived
under the non-draft regime. They
won't vote it back without very
careful thought and with full pro-
faction to their own interests.
Meals plan might be accepted
hv the majors. IL is doubtful.
The majors want q crack at the
youngsters going up.
Now and then q major league
club pulls a boner and after short
and unsatisfactory tryout sends
some good youngster back to the
bushes. Later he develops and
goes up for a g0od price.
The advantage to the majors I'M
der Meals idea would be to insure
themselves from making a maxi
mum number of boners.
1t certainly would appeal to TnanV
OF the minor league magnates.
Most Of the Gloss A clubs would be
satisfied to get an optional player
or two a year and not bother with
other big league talent. The minors
want the men coming up.
But il the majors did want TO
