ST. LOUIS. Feb. 81. - (P - Ed
STRANGER" Lewis Of Kansas City,
reigns today as undisputed champ
ion of the wrestling world.
BY defeating Joe Stecher of Dodge,
Neb., claimant of the title, in a
thKee fall match at the Coliseum last
ht, Lewis ended the quarrel that
gas existed between them for seven
years; since the time the Stranger
defeated Stecher in New York in
1920.
Lewis won the fall after more than
two hours of dreary wrestling. PIN
ming Stechers shoulders to the mat
with a bar arm, half nelson and
scissors hold on the arm, in 1882.
He captured the third and deciding
fall in u minutes so seconds with
a bar arm, or perhaps a double wrist
lock. Nobody was clear on the ex-
act hold because of the excitement in
the dramatically sudden finish.
Stecher won the second fall in a
dizzy maze of quick action, lasting
only fifty-six seconds. Lewis, in a
moment of carelessness, fell victim

In winning the second fall, SIecner,
who had only lost only two matches
in fourteen years previous to last
nights defeat, showed the only
flash Of aggressiveness that he dis
played during the entire contest. He
was outgamed, outmaneuvered, out

RACERS TUNE
MOTORS FOR
SPEED tests
Lockhart Drives Small
Stutz Over 200 And
&c. Cylinder Car Re-
veals Its Ability

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Feb. 81.
-tP-Possessed Of q new mark to
shoot at, automobile racing drivers
here today had redoubled their en-
ergies toward surprising all previous
speeds at which four-wheeled vehi-
cles have travelled along the ground.
Frank Lockhart Of Indianapolis
and ]. NJ. White of Philadelphia
were seeking the proper combination
of motor temperament and beach
condition which would permit them
to challenge the new time Of 206.956
miles al hour set Sunday by NAL
colin Campbell of London in his mon
ster Napier Blue Bird Special.
Lockhart spun his comparatively
tiny Stutz Blackhawk Special over
the sands against the wind yester-
day at an officially timed rate of
2O0-22246 miles per hour. but did not
make the return trip which would
have made his an official try for the
record. A trip in each direction over
the mile course. for an average
speed. constitutes an official mile.
Ray Keech, likewise numbered
the gigantic 36-cylindered machine
belonging TO White yesterday, but
was forced from an official attempt
by a minor accident which resulted
in slight injuries to Keech. White
said last night the machine ATTAINED
a speed of more than 253 miles an
hour" during its run, but that its
average over n way of the charted
mile was cut to 1s6 miles per hour
by the motor trouble which sent a
spray of live steam flying back over
the pilot.
Whites machine is at present I'M
der the ban of American Automo-
bile association because il is not
equipped with a clutch or reverse
gear and its attempts will not be of
ficially recognized until it has been
made to conform to that body's stan
dards.
Campbell Is not expected to make
an immediate assault on his own
record until one or the other of the
drivers now here betters his mark.
Campbell's record supplanted the
former high speed Of 203.6 miles per
hour attained'las year by Major II.
o. d. Segrave. also of England.

League Umpires
Adopt New Rule

CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-CP-Ameri-
can league umpires. meeting with
President Barnard last week, adopt
ed a ruling permitting base unners
to advance only one base when a
player falls into the grandstand or
dugout with a foul fly in his hands.
The Ease arose in the New York
Philadelphia Memorial day game last
year. and the umpires then decided
to let one base runner score and the
other advance to third. Under the
new rule. made public today, neither
player could have scored.
Philadelphia protested that both
runners should have scored but
President Ban Johnson upheld his
umpires. The Yankees eventually
won the game in the eleventh inning.

This week sees the leaders start

Western and Business, outd1stanced
on the outward journey, are BRING

cruising home with no chance what
ever of improving their position.
February graduations may cut

would vie for the honors. The
Lincoln Parkers thought otherwise
and have forced their way to the
top.
Tech fooled chance to lead
when il bowed to Eastern by a
1885 score. There was 200
much fight in that Eastern club
that afternoon for those rangy
TecIlites. A team determined to
win is q hard foe to beat-and
Eastern was determined.
An important battle is listed to-
morrow. Central and Eastern are
to lock horns and the winner will
