NO PROGRAM
IS ANNOUNCED
For Third Wrestling Show
Planned by New York
Promoter

i Stuart Robson of New York City.
promoter of two wrestling shows in
this city, has not made any an
nouncement regarding the staging OF
another show in this city before the
real warm weather sets in. 1t was
his original intention to put on
three mat shows in the local Audi
torium before the summer season
and then to continue promoting
shows in the fall.
The first show which was headed
by a bout between Nat Pendleton
and Paul Finsky drew a fair crowd,
but the second show, the program
for which was headed by a bout be-
tween Carl Vogel and Ernest Sieg-
fried. drew a larger audience.
Robson showed that he meant
business in bringing Siegfried and
Pendleton, two of the leading con-
tenders for the title 10Y held by Ed
Stranger" Lewis, to this city. 1t
was his intention to match Perdle-
ton and Wladek Zbyszko, the Great
Pole and a leading contender for the
heavyweight title, to head the pro-
gram for the third show.
There Is every reason to believe
that a Zbyszko-Pendleton bout
would draw and once the fans are
interested IN the shows put on by
the New York promoter, the wrest-
ling game would be returned 10 its
foundation of old in this city.

LEAD WORKS IN
BIC VICTORY
Dry Docks, Industrial VolIey
Ball League Leaders, Lose
First Match Z

Disappointment and surprise feat
ured the Industrial Volley Ball
League games played at the Y. NJ. c.
A. last night when the Lead Works
defeated the Dry Docks team for
their first win of the season and the
latter dropped their first contest by
the scores 1874 and 15-5.
The other games resulted in the
Bakelite, Dry Docks and r. & H.
Chemical dropping one and winning
one. The Lead Works and Gable
Works winning one and the U. S.
Cartridge dr. piping two.
The first match was that of the
Bakelite-Cable Works in which the
Bakelite workers seemed to be the
probable winners after their first
$50 win. The tables turned, how
ever, IN the last two matches the
Cable workers winning 1873 and Is
IL. In this engagement the Bakelite
used Fredrickson. Cornelius, Voh-
man, Ryan, Kardos and Yak, while
the Gable Works used Won Daggen-
hansen. Totin, Ryan. j. Gardella, A.
Gardella and Rogan.
In the second match came the sur
prising result when the Lead Works
scored two easy wins over the Dry
Docks. In this game Ernst, Smoyak,
Hatrak, McCreery and A. Gardella
played with thu Lead Works, while
the Dry Docks took the floor with ].
Chizmadia, G. Chizmadia, Jensen.
Marshall, Crowell, Brown and Han
sen.
The U. s. Cartridge lost two
straight to the R.. & H. Chemical, the
first by a 1875 score. The second
game was not so easily won, but al
though the losers PIT up a stiff fight
they were nosed out by a 1910
score. The U. S. Cartridge used
Hornsby, Burns, Smoyak. Richards,
Baldwin and Hatrak, while Olesen,
StraSser, ThuIlesen, Kurowsky, Mil
Ter and Karl performed with the VIC
tors.
The second defeat Of the U. S.
Cartridge came in two close games
with the Bakclite, the scores being
1914 in the first, and although the
cartridge workers fought hard for
the second game were edged out by
the same margin. In this engage
ment both teams lined up in regular
fashion.
The last match of the evening be-
tween the Dry Docks and r. & H.
Chemical caus d plenty Of interest,
as it was thought that the Dry
Docks-Lead Works contest had TAX
en- effect on the losers and they
would also bow to the chemists,
thereby putting the Bakelite, ship
builders and chemists all on one
standing. But this was not to hap
en- as the dock workers won the
first and third by 1877 and 1918
scores. while the r. & H. won the
second by 1877 tally. Both teams
used their regular lineup in this con
test.
