continually is a sign of something
wrong. Watch your kidneys. If

MAT BOUT TONIGHT
RECALLS OLD FEUDS

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, February 14.-The match
tonight between Wayne Mum, be
hemoth of the wrestlers, and Joe NAL
cewicz of Utica, n. Y. recalls the
tangled skein in which is involved the
heavyweight wrestling championship
These two are among the principal
figures in the action which has made
the title a bone of contention.
Mum once claimed the crown, when
he threw Stranger Lewis, then the
recognized champion, out of the ring
at Kansas City. Not long after this
disputed contest the elder Zbyszko.
StanislauS, tossed Mum at Philadel-
phia, and in turn was Topped by Joe
Stecher, the Nebraska scissors king.
Munn's claim thereupon descended to
Stecher, but Lewis still contested II.
and Mum never thereafter was able
to pin the Strangers shoulders.
One night In Boston Stecher was
billed to wrestle some unknown"
who turned out to be Malcewicz. and
Stecher refused to go on with the
match. While Ma1cewicz never
claimed Stecher's share OF the title, he
did lombard Stecher's later matches
with handbills describing the alleged
"runout."

H9.-Plans for a professional tennis
association are fast coming to a head,
according to Vincent Richards, tennis

movement to organize the professional

would call meeting for that purpose,
probably within the next month. No
more definite information could be
obtained.
A league. to include New York,

under consideration, Richards said.
If the association gets underway
according to plans. he said, it is hoped
to hold an open tournament next
season. The United States Lawn
Tennis Association will not be included
in its direction. he asserted.
IF they had looked at things In
the right light" Richards said, "they
would have been included in the plans
for the formation of the professional
association, and would have had full
control over the open tournaments
as is the case In golf. Now they'll
probably be bucked at every turn"
