pOnent.
The sergeant is a mountainous
mass of bone, muscle and flesh,
and possessed of an extremely hot
temper. Both he and the Cossack
were guilty OF tactics that were
unfriendly, to say the least.
Finally the sergeant was dismissed
by the referee for determinedly
trying to strange his opponent.
The men provided a few thrills
while they were on the mat, and
later mingled in private battle near
the dressing rooms. The cops
broke up this fuss,
Pete Dallas and Charley Demetral
furnished a nice little party. Neither
got a fall within the twenty-minute
limit. There was plenty Of action,
with Pete qualifying as the Nick
Altrock of the mat game around
these parts.
Altogether the shcv was well
staged and interesting from start

got their moneys worth. Joe Free

match things up so these evenings
are interesting. It's gift.

This was not due to any. spite on
the managers part on account OF
the pitchers delay in reporting, so
McGraw says. Possibly not, but
nevertheless the Giants boss seemed
to take extreme delight in seeing
his victim sweat by the barrel full.

the more profuse were McGraw' $

The manager took lots of punish

task, but the manager succeeded in
accomplishing it.
