These reports were first heard
when Kirilenko went 80 minutes
to a draw with Shikat two weeks
ago at the Auditorium and it was
said that the German appeared
indifferent on that occasion. In
deed, Kirilenko took the offensive
and followed Shikat about the
arena.
Shikat Is Skillful
Now, Shikat is considered one
of the most Skillful matmen of
this era and it was he who held
the title before losing it to
Jimmy Londos. Tonight'S bout
will be to a finish and Shikat is
best in matches of long duration.
However, the known strength
of the Russian must be taken
into consideration. Wrestling
folks here know the unlimited
power of Milo SteinbGrn but
this mighty grappler was un-
able to wreak much harm to
Kirilenko in a recent match at
the Auditorium.
The other finish match on to-
nights program will feature
Steinborn and George Hagen, the
ex-marine who is several pounds
lighter than the German levi
athan. They toiled to a draw
here in a Commute bout and
Promoter Turner is putting them

Tommy Loughran will have two
men to whip in Madison Square
Garden tomorrow night if victory
is to rest on his shoulders.
One of them will be in front Of
him, the other outside the ring,
glaring with strange white" eyes.
The man with his dukes
propped up in front of him will
be Ernie Schaaf, a human block
of granite; the other, Jack Shar-
key, who cracked Tommy on the
temple so hard in the Yankee
Stadium one night that Tom went
meandering around the ring.
On that occasion Tommy
fought Sharkey for the "Ameri-
can" heavyweight title. To
morrow night Tommy will be
fighting Schaaf for the right to
fight Sharkey all over again
the same objective in view.
Sharkey, with a fatherly and a
financial interest in the future OF
Schaaf as a heavyweight, will be
in Ernie's corner, calling upon the
husky youngster to do to Tommy
the thing he himself accom-
plished.
Loughran is so certain that he
can reverse the finish which
seemed to drop right out of the
heavens, that his aim tomorrow
night will be to humiliate both
Sharkey and his pupil.

CONNIE MACK
SHORT ONE
PITCHER

This is the fourth in series
of stories covering 1881 prospects
of National and American Base
ball League tenmSJ
BY ROBERT T. PAUL
FORT MYERS, Fla, March IL.
Connie Mack isn't paying much
attention to infielders and out
fielders in the Philadelphia Ath-
letics' spring training sessions here
at Terry Park. He's more inter-
ested in the II pitchers, being
satisfied his veteran fly chasers
and ground gobblers can take
care of the 1881 situations as
they did while coasting into the
1929 and 1880 world series.
The 68-year-old pilot Of the
present world champions is
searching for at least one win
ming pitcher to assist his two star
performerS-Lefty Grove and
George Earnshaw. Connie would
like to uncover two reliable
moundSmen but he'll be satisfied
with one. And if he does find a
third hurler to work with Grove
and Earnshaw he'll be confident
of again finishing ahead of the
American League pack.
Box Candidates Are Big
Connie doesn't care whether
the third winning pitcher is right
handed or southpaw. He has
a large assortment of both work
ing out daily. They're big chaps,
mostly over six feet in height
with one-Hank aid
reaching the 6 feet 4 inch mark.
There's no particular reason why
Connie has diamond Cameras
here except that he just likes his
pitchers big. The bigger they are
the better he likes them.
Grove and EarnShaw, accord
ing to Comics dope, should
win so games. His problem is
to win between 40 and so more.
From last years corps he has
Rube Walberg, an erratic south
paw who fIivvered last season
after a sensational start; Bill
Shores, Texas right handler who
won IL and lost after being
useless the first two months;
Roy Mahaffey, former Portland
iron man who showed much
promise at times last season;
and Eddie ROmmelI, veteran
knuckle ball artist, who for
some reason doesn't get the
starting chance his yearly rec
ord merits.
Unless we've missed our guess,
it will be to the veterans Mack
must look for his third and
fourth starting pitcher. The other
pitchers in camp are all young
Sters with very little experience
in organized baseball. They're
wonderful prospects, yet scarcely
ready to jump into the 1881 race
and lend much of winning
hand. 1t would be too much to
expect 19 and 20 year old boys
with only eight or 10 minor
league games under their belts to
halt sluggers like Ruth, Gehrig,
Cronin, Rice, Bluege, Hodapp,
Morgan, Gehringer and Alex
ander.
Mcdonald, 19-year-old boy of
Santa Monica, Calf, is showing
the best form. He held the
Cardinals to one hit and famed
four in four innings last Sunday.
He has terrific speed and uses
all of his 6 feet 4 inches
and 200 pounds. He lacks expert
ence, having worked in less than
10 games for Portland last sum-
mer.

Dusek, who must have learned
the tricks from Chief White

Billy Bartush, the leading man
as far as the ladies are con,
cerned, tackles George Tragos,
from st. Louis. The first pre-,
liminary will be called at $3.50
o'clock.
Meanwhile, posters appeared
around town today announcing
the Strand Theater is going
through with its five-bOut card
st. Patrick'S night.
Jack Sherry, the Ohio Tornado,
and Don DeLonge, French cham
pion. are to meet in the main
spot, while the well-knoWn Stanley
Stasiak and George Vassen will
be featured in the semi-windup.
Stasiak claims the Polish cham
pionship, while VaSsell is billed as
the Greek whirlWind.
Three other bouts, probably
some local talent included, will
be announced later, to round out
the Strand card, which is being
promoted by Joe Freeman, mayor
of Ninth Street.
Sherry claims he can throw any
wrestler now claiming the Ameri-
can title and does not bar Don
George, Gus Sonnenberg, or Jim
Londos. In fact, the local pro
moter is offering $4,000 to the
latter to just get in a ring with
him.

Sonnenberg Earns 100000
In Two Years on Mat
Rv LES CONKLIN

NEW YORK, March 12-How much money does wrestler
make year?
view of the wrestling hysteria that has grpped New
York and other cities in the past three months the writer
put this question leading promoters and wrestes to-
dav The pst of their replies was as follows:
The Washington times., 1931-03-12

Dynamite Gus Sonnenberg, the
Dartmouth alumnus who revolu-
tionized the sport with his flying
tackle, is the leading money-maker
of the modern crop of grapplers.
He earned 100000 in 1929 and
1880. Sonnenberg lost his title to
DOM George last December.
George Gets Rich Quickly.
George already has salted away
the tidy sum of 100000 since de-
throning Sonnenberg. He fig
ures to earn at least 100000 this
year.
Jim LOndOS, rival claimant to
the title, has collected $4,000
since the first of the year, and
expects to increase this total to
between S25O,OOO and 100000
by next Christmas. He has
averaged at least $4,000 an
nually for the past 10 years, ac-
cording to Promoter Jack Cur
ley.
Jim McMillen, beaten twice by
Londos, thinks he will gross $40,-
900 in 1881, or double his 1880
earnings.
Jack Herman, local mat impress
ario, who has been promoting
wrestling bouts since the gay nine
ties, declares that Joe Stecher,
three-time champion, is worth a
million dollars today and that Ed
(Strangler) Lewis, another former
champ, could cash in his holdings
for $750,000. Both are still going
strong.
So much for the headliners. The
members of the second flight of
contenders, according to Herman,
average about $4,000 a year. Says
Herman:
"In this group 1 would class
wreStlers like Stanley Stasiak,
Rudy Dusek, DIR. Ralph Wilson,
Dick Shikat, Pat McGiII, Nick
Lutte, Jack Sherry, Paul Jones,
Carl POjellO, Count ZarynOff,
Hans Steinne, Billy BartuSh,
Joe Malciewicz, and others.
This fellow Joe SavOldi, the
former NOtre Dame football
star, is becoming a great draw
ing card. l wouldn't be surprised
to see him make $3.50, 900 in the
next two years"
Herman explained that a wres-
tier appearing in preliminary
bouts might struggle along barely
making expenses for a few years,
and then break into the big
money. He continues:
"All wreStlerS work on a per-
centage basis. Between so and
so per cent of the gate is di-
vided between them. The prin-
cipals divide from rs to IS
per cent of the gate. The
semi-finalists each get a S per
cent cut, and the remaining 20
per cent of the gate is split
among the other performers.
"The best wrestling cities are
Los Angeles, Boston, New York,
Chicago, Denver, Kansas City,
St. Louis, Washington, Buff
falO, Montreal and Toronto.
An average gate is $4,000, but
a championship match may net
from $4,000 to S8O,OOO."

The Staunton Military Academy

has an enviable seasons record.
Out of IS bouts in which the
members of the team participated
only IL were lost and one ended
in a draw. Knockouts resulted in
13 of them, and 40 were won by
decisions.
The closest they have been
to defeat was in their final
matches with v. M. 1. when they
won 4 to 3. The Navy Plebes
were able to win only two bouts
from them.
