Whether Washington wrestling
fans appreciate contests between real
rivals or exhibitions by great pei
formers against mediocre opponents
may be learned tomorrow night,
when Rob Roy Mackey presents a
mat show at the Arcadia.
Several months ago large crowd
was drawn to the Arcadia to see Joe
Stecher exhibit his scissors. Charley
Hanson couldn't give Stecher enough
real competition to call it serious
contest, though he tried mighty hard.
Nobody expected Hanson to win.
Stecher was the attraction.
Tomorrow night the fans will
be offered three contests between
legitimate opponents. None of
the winners may be fore.named
with any assurance.
Every one OF the participants in
one way or another has distin.
guished himself. Mackey will pre-.
sent a colorful array of wrestlers.
None OF the bouts stands out
as the feature. As Mackey puts
it: They're all good"

KIDSNORK
BY r. D. Thomas

Now. when l was kid"
Yep, nearly every grown up
citizen will start a line like that
from time to time. For times do
change.
For instance, twenty years ago
the sandlot ballplayers of Wash
ington were ever willing to turn a
hand in their own behalf. They
would work. They would gather
rake and hoe and shovel, for in
stance. and level off a stretch OF
ground for a ball field. They would
sell newspapers, cut lawns and do
odd jobs for money to buy ball, bat
and glove.
But in this day and age your
young sandlOtter seems to think
il all should be done for him.
He gives the grOwnup a feeling
that the kid isn't being done
right by unless his fun is pre-
scented without cost or labor to
himself.

day about twenty of them may be
found wearing blisters on their
hands with shovels, hoes, rakes and
whatnot employed in the making of

It seems that DR.. L. B. Ernest,
mayor Of Kensington, got the boys
a chance to show their enterprise.
The ball field that had been used
for years was lost when somebody
bought lot and built a house
where the backstop had been. 1t
was heartbreaker for the kids.
But Mayor Ernest. with the
backing of. the city council and
other civic interests. had set
aside q parcel of land i'm the
south Of town and told the boys
they could Use 1t if they'd put
it IN shape.
They fell to with a will and now
