meet at Fra nklin Field. Penn has
improved since midseason. From the
Dartmouth score it doesn't look as
if Cornell had. Both teams have
played Columbia. With that as q
basis. Penn should be heavy favorite.
L favor Penn to win, but don't think

Penn's defense has not been particu-

Cornell has a good passing attack.
But / doubt If the Cornell line can

upon the condition of Anderson, best

Brown had much of a chance against

at least one good game tucked away,

who picks Brown to win. but great
are the uncertainties in present-day

The Columbia-SyracuSe game looms
as a toss-up. Columbia was very dis.

seems to have It's good and bad weeks.
If this happens to be good week,
think Columbia has enough power to

Trouble for n. Y. U.
New York University is very likely
to end creditable season with a bad
defeat. 1t is almost impossible for
any team to travel halfway across

Last week Nebra ska had disastrous

to expect that the Cornhuskers will
not be in top form against New York

CROOKED WRESTLING TRUST IS
EXPOSED BEFORE LEGISLATURE
BY WILLIAM DEMETRAL. VETERAN

trolled by a trust" composed of Ed
White of Chicago and. Billy Sandow
of Kansas City, manager of Lewis;
that unless a wrestler listened to the
dictation of the trust" he could not
obtain matches and that Lewis per-
sistently refused to meet any oppon-
ent considered too tough"
Demetral admitted engaging in
fake match in Milwaukee, wis. This
was done, he said, while he was
under the management of White, with
whom he later broke relations.
Before the days testimony was
over, Sandow, the manager of Lewis,
produced clipping before the COM
mittee showing that Demetral had
been indicted in Chicago in 1913 for
defrauding man out of $4,000 by
means of a fake Wrestling match
in Toledo.
Sandow testified that Demetral had
been involved in crooked matches in
Nashville and Atlanta, 13 or IA years
ago; that for nine years Sandow had
refused to have any business dealings
with Demetral and merely consented
to meet him in Cleveland on Whites
plea that Demetral had reformed.

CHICAGO, June tP--Skeletors of
the wrestling trust were dragged
into public display today by the state
legislature committee investigating the
Illinois athletic commission and the
boxing situation in Chicago.
After the inquiry was adjourned
tonight until next Monday, Claud
Rev, state representative from Har
risburg, Ill, said he would introduce
a bill in the legislature to repeal the
act legalizing wrestling, if the investi-
cation produced any more stories
such as legislators listened to
throughout the days session.
William Demetral a wrestler for 20
years, provided the sensation of the
day when he told the committee that
he was forced to put up $4,000 in
cash and give a quit-claim deed to
his home in Chicago as a guarantee
that he would not throw Ed (Strang-
ler) Lewis in their two matches de-
cided in Cleveland in 1924, two years
before the Illinois state athletic COM
mission began to function.

bring out was that wrestling is con-

EARLY SPRING FAILURES

TWO distinct disappointments, so far
| in the majors, have been the 1ail-
ure of the ST. Louis Cardinals in the
National and the Philadelphia Ath-
letics in the American to step right
out in front and set a warm pace.
The Cardinals seem to lack the fire
that characterized their play last sea-
con. The old fight doesn't seem to be
there 1 am wondering if the driving
power OF. Rogers Hornsby as manager
isn't missed.
True, the lame arm with which Man
ager Bob OFarrell has suffered all
year has been terrific handicap at
that. Frank Snyder has done pretty
good job of catching aside from his
weakness at the bat.
Last season O'Farrell was voted the
most valuable ball player in the Ma
tional league and richly deserved the
honor. His fine catching and excel
lent handling Of thesCardinal pitchers
was prime factor in the clubs sue
cess.
He performed as capabIy in the
world series as he did all season.
His marvellous, throw that nipped
Ruth stealing, ending the game
and series in favor of the Cardin-
ais, was great play.

deal?.
From purely playing standpoint I
doubt if elJher team mas been appre-
'ciably helped or hindered by the shift
ing of these two brilliant stars Frisch
has gone great for st. Louis, Hornsby
likewise for New York.
There is only difference of
few points in their fielding and
batting average. Frisch leads in
the field, HOrnsby has slight edge
at bat.
CARDINALS MISS HORNSBY
IN THE spring expressed the belief
i that the Cardinals would miss so
dominating a figure as Rogers Horns
by. Not only was he good manager.
but he had the courage of his convic-
tions and ran his ball club as he saw
fit. He would brook no interference.
When I asked him what he thought
of the Cardinals chances and his sue
cessor, Bob O'Farrell, prior to the open
ing of the season, he replied
'The Cardinals are a great club.
Every player gave me 100 per cent eff
fort. If the quiet, retiring O'Farrell is
able to get the same stuff out of the
athletes his team will be hard to beat.
However, if Bob listens to too many
cooks, he will be sunk"
Maybe the Cardinals are simply
away to slow start and will soon hit
their stride. Maybe OFarrell was so
valuble to the club that the team is
lost with him on the bench. Possibly
there are too many cooks handing
O'Farrell recipes on how to win.
Regardless of the reasons, the
Cardinals have failed to move out
in front as experts predicted and
their supporters hoped.
