The Pachyderm Herd.

4 the former Dartmouth foot ball
player, gave latter day wrestling its
final impetus. Having learned mostly
foot ball at the Hill" Mr.. Sonnenberg
was looking for work. He was offered
a chance in professional wrestling. Dis
regarding all instructions, Mr.. Sonnen-
berg applied to the wrestling game the
tactics he had learned on the Dart
mouth foot ball team. He tackled his
first opponent hard and laid him quite
horizontal.
This was regarded as unorthodox and
even unethical at first. But it seemed
to take with the customers and Mr..
Sonnenberg found that he could make
more out of professional wrestling than
the average ex-foot ball player could
make selling bonds. Besides the bond
market was poor at the time.
Eventually Mr. Sonnenberg was Eek
posed" 1t seems that somebody always
is exposing wrestling just as they al
ways are making cracks concerning the
authenticity of Kris Kringle. But the
customers took the expose as lightly as
they took wrestling
Then the fight racket became quite
nauseatjng and the customers started
looking for something else. Anything
else would do. At this juncture Jack
Curley leased Madison Square Garden
for a night and threw on some of the
performing pachyderms. There in the
temple that was dedicated to Fistiana
the customers renowned the fight
racket entirely. They stormed the place
and a crowd bigger than any that ever
had been assembled there for a prize
fight cheered the grunting pachyderms.
So 1t seems that wrestling has returned
from the doldrums. AS to how long II
will last. you may write your own
| ticket.

The attendance in those days was
slim and the purses we're small, even
for a championship bout Mr.. Null
doom met the logical contender of the
hour in a hall for which the rent had
been paid in advance. At the eighth
hour the Solid Man and the logical
contender were still struggling on the
mat when the lights went out.
1t developed that the advance rent
which had been collected for the bout
included lighting for only an eight
hour wrestling day or night. There
was not enough money in the house to
pay for the extra lights. The Gus
toners would not be entertained to any
great extent by a wrestling match in
the dark; consequently the world cham
pionship wrestling match had to be
abandoned and declared a draw. When
1t was resumed at later date with full
lighting privileges Mr.. Muldoon won.
Gets q Good Start.
THE impressive figure of the Solid
u Man sent American wrestling of
to q good start. The American
Sparticus lent dignity to all of the
professional sports with which he was
Identified. 1t was Muldoon who bearded
even John L. Sullivan in his cups and
actually cowed the man whose boast IL
was that he could lick any man in the
world.
OF course, all of this time there were
great men who wrestled for the pure
JOY OF wrestling in an uncouth and
amateur fashion. George Washington is
alleged to have wrestled for his own
amusement; so did Benjamin Franklin.
Abraham Lincoln wreStled with other
farmer boys. But it was Muldoon who
first made the sport a melodrama.
Long after him came Frank Gotch.
the farmer boy, whose favorite trick
was the toe hold. ContemporaneouS
with him was Hackenschmidt, 1.-THE
Russian Lion" Eventually this pair
met in Chicago and they wrestled for
hours before the largest crowd that ever
had seen wrestling match. 1t might
have been called the wrestling match
of the century"
Later they were rematched. and then
the finger of suspicion pointed most
vehemently in the direction of what the
boys called the graphing game" The
return match was branded as a fake and
substantial evidence was offered to show
that the two wreStlers and their man.
ayers had business arrangement.
Naturally, wrestling fell into utter dis
repute. The customers reached the con-
clusion that it was impossible to tell a
fixed match from one that was on the
level and that anyhow it did not mat
ter. They looked with suspicion or
all wrestling matches and the business
became Improbable.
