Londos averages about four
matches a week, and, despite
train rides, ETC., is the picture Of
health. He is the greatest attrac-
ton in wrestling today, earning
more money than any of his COM
petitors. No wrestler Of the
present day has the same appeal
that grips the fans as Londos.
He is also recognized in most
States as the heavyweight cham
pion, though Stranger Lewis,
Jack Sherry and Henri Deglane
are others who lay claim to that
distinction. However, LondoS
can outdraw any of these because
he is the more colorful worker.
Those who flock to the Audi
torium tonight will be attracted
by the fame of Londos. Kirilenko
has unbounded strength, but the
Russian needs something more to
keep on even terms with the slip
perry Greek, who worms his way
out of ugly holds.
There is no heavyweight grap-
pier faster or speedier than Lon
dos. He always manages to keep
his weight around 200 pounds.
though often meeting opponents
having a heavy pull in the
weights. However. Londos also
combines fast-thinking brain
with his speed.
Londos wins most of his
matches by virtue of the air
plane" spin, though he sometimes
applies his side neck and Japa-
nese toe holds. When he thinks
the occasion ripe for the air,
plane" spin, Londos ruShes his
rival and spills him with several
body slams. Then, the Greek
lifts the foe high over his head,
whirls him about couple of
times, and dumps him to the
canvas.
The fans should be stirred up
by the Rudy DuSek-Joe Cox con-
test which will be the main pre-,
liminary. Cox has been substi,
tuted for Frank BrunowicZ, who is
ill. Just a couple of ruffianS, wild
and rough, who offer no excuses.
Chief White Feather and
"Tigah" Nelson are also on the
program, but not together. The
indian is to battle Pat O'Shocker
and Nelson takes on Herbie Free
man. Paul Jones has Hans Bauer
as an opponent. The first match
starts at $50 o'clock.

Attention Divided

The attention of the delegates
was divided today between the
fight to abolish the associations
executive offices and the numer-
GUS negotiations and caucuSes
which annually surround the
minor league convention. Both
major and minor league clubs
figure in deals announced yester-
day.
Most important of the days
transactions was the purchase by
the Cincinnati Reds of Andy

third baseman. A Cardinal farm,
the Columbus American Associa-

cinnati Reds Nick Cullop, out
fielder. The purchase price was

minor league history.

Tony LaZzeri to the White Sox
as part of the proposed deal.
The spectre of wholesale salary
reductions entered the conven-

terday when the three Class IA
leagues at q special meeting, de-
cided to institute pay cuts among
its players. A tentative and in.
formal salary limit was agreed
upon; this Is not to apply to

be a suggested general scale for
club owners to follow voluntarily.

 The Athletics reel off IT straight victories. Lefty Ed Brandt, then Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw run up winning streaks of eight games-or more perhaps by the time this faces the linotyper. Wes Terrell pitches no-hit game. Os- car Melillo collects eight consecu- tive hits, while Al Simmons hit. safely in 26 and Earle Combs in 29 straight games.
 It would all be very complicated md mystifying, indeed, without the Little Red Book" to check against she best performances on record
 The memory is still poignant of a year or two when this volume was not published and anybody could claim record.

.ELKS AND VETS PLAY POSTPONED
 GAME THIS PM.
With Only Two Games Each to Play, Every
 One Rated Critical

Weather permitting, the Elks and American Legion teams will tanglc again tonight at City Park, play ing off game postponed from June IT, owing to rain. The off, cial weather forecast for this even- ing is rain, but Weather Man Mize said it probably would be dry enough to play ball.
 Each of the three clubs has two more games to play in the first half which ends next Friday even ng. The Moose and Elks are tied for first place and every remaining game can be truly billed as "cru- cial."
 If the Elks win tonight they will go to the top by a half-game margin. But the Moose have a chance to go into the lead tomor- row when they play the Elks for the last time in the half. Even though the Bills should win to- night, a loss of tomorrow night 5 game would leave them one-half game behind.
 In that case, it is not impossible that the end of the half would find the Elks and Moose tied for first which would occur if the Vets should win from the Paps in the final game next Friday. If the Vets are victors tonight, the Elks would have to win from the Moose tomorrow night in order to have a chance. A defeat for them tonight would give the Moose half-game lead, which could only be wiped out by a defeat of the Paps tomor- row. That would give the Bills a half-game advantage which the Moose could wipe out by winning from the ex-soldiers Friday and this, too, would end the first half of the season in tie.

Whether Jess Harper stays one year or five at the helm of the athletic craft of the University of Natre Dame, he will have the course charted well and thoroughly in advance.
 The late Knute Rockne learned from Harper the value of planning for the future. Now that the old guiding hand is back at the wheel, Notre Dame won't have anything to worry about, especially so far as its football slate is concerned, for some time to come.
 Harper, losing no time taking hold, already has extended con- tracts, completed others and in gen. cral moved to make Notre Danes gridiron campaign for the next five years.
 Harper feels that the Fighting Irish have been unusually fortunate in the development of conspicuous rivalries with Carnegie, Southern California, Army and Navy. Penn sylvania and Northwestern furnish two other high-spot games in the current scheme of affairs.
 All of which, Harper recalls, is a far cry from his early days at South Bend. It was difficult to schedule any outstanding foes then When Notre Dame sought intersec- tiona1 contests, the Big Ten was critical of the policy and summed the Irish for the most part only to discover it's advantages later on.
