The new domestic copper tariff

NEW YORK, April 2. - Dear
Sir" the letter from Sporting News
read, "a month ago we sent you a
blank on which it asked you to
state your opinions as to the prob
able outcomS IN the major league
pennant races this year.
ut is possible that this request
did not reach you or was mislaid.
Your early response will
be appreciated There will
be no identification with the story,
so you are free to make your choices
without fear or favor *'
Well, sir, you've goC your nerve
about you'll Getting huffy because
1 wait a month! Even the butcher,
who certainly has no reason to be a
friend of mine since l caught him
weighing both his thumbs and an
index finger, gives me six weeks.
What do you expect from a guy?
Do you think man can sit down
and bat off predictions casual-like?
Who do you think 1 am, Evangelist
Adams? Well, I'm not. l amt even
John Quincy Adams, nor Joe
Adams, nor Horace Adams.
When I got your letter about a
month ago. pledged myself to give
you the best predictions in me. l
called off a cruise to the mediter-
ranean, packed my bag and started
off on a tour of the various major
league cities in search of informa-
ton. l made them all, st. Louis,
Cincinnati, Chicago, Milwaukee,
Houston, Seattle and Billings. And
1 just didn't pass through 'em. l
stopped and talked to chamber of
commences, Rotarys, Lions, medical
centers, bootblacks, mayors and
those guys who change street car
switches with long iron poles.
When I got back from the trip,
worn to a thread, every flower box
in my house had died of lack OF
water, the pan under the icebox
had overfloWed, and two pounds of
butter creamery had left on the
living room table had strangely dis

comes your letter today showing
you had no faith; doubted my earn
estness. I tell you it hurt. To the
quick. Mabe even deeper than that
1t just didn't seem fair for you
to chide me after 1 had spent $4,000
and almost a month of the best

LEWIS HAS EASY TIME WINNING
HIS MATCH WITH JACK CLARK
Christy Looks Goods

trays as did the science of wrest-
ling.
Christy Looks Goods
Young Christys exhibition of
clean wrestling came as near SCI
entific demonstration as any other
on the card. The boy found few
holds he could not squirm out of
easily, and was adept at turning
from one hold to another with
lightning rapidity. Tex Wright, ap-
parently an old hand at this barn
StOrming racket, could not stand
the scissors hold which seemed to
be Christy's favorite. A series of
flying mares, a scissors and a body
slam ended the fracaS to the salts
faction of the fans.
DR.. Mullikan and Ivan Petroff
furnished the nights real rough
house, with nothing barred. The
doctor won himself black eye with
the customers by hauling himself
under the ropes every time he was
in trouble, and by judicious use of
his elbows and forearms, to say
nothing of the heel of his hand, in
various encounters.
The first match of the evening
promised for some time to be the
most interesting of all, when a
large grasshopper found his way
into the ring as the opening bell
sounded. For 20 minutes the grass
hopper adroitly evaded the grunt-
ing, gritting bodies, now and then
finding a taunting rooSt on some
part of the anatomy of either of
the contestants.
On one occasion the grasshopper
seemed certain of a berth beneath
DR.. Mullikan's trunks, but decided
against such move. For the en-
the 20 minutes that graSShopper
caVorted around the ring, not once
making a face as bad as that of
the contestants, until Referee Bill
Tackett finally won himself a fall
by stepping on the grasshopper.
The demise Of the insect took
all the life out of the party.

One Of the most widely publicized
social events of the Ell Centro sea-
son was climaXed last night when
Ed stranger" Lewis, graying
worlds champion in the realm of
wrestling pachyderms, led group
of cohorts N serving up to a mod
crate guest list a salad Of arms,
legs and gruntS which sent the
guests home wondering when the
next boxing show will be staged
hereaboutS.
The Drawn and beef show result
eel just as was expected in victory
for Lewis over Jack Clark, whose
belt line made him a subject for
profiteering cartoons. Vic Christy
ballyhooed as coming champion, put
on the best exhibition of the eve
ming in throwing Tex Wright
around the ring for y minutes and
90 seconds before slamming him
to the canvas to win the semi final.
DR.. Mullikan, wrestling chiroprac-
tor, adjusted bones all over The
floor to a chant ef mingled booeS
and cheers from the stands, until
he finally had both of Ivan Pc
troff's shoulders adjusted to the
floor in % minutes of the prelim-
mary engagement.
Lewis was not his usual scintil-
lating self as he entered the ring
and looked over the sparse crowd,
apparently deciding to have matters
over with as soon as possible. Nine
minutes of headlocks, gruntS and
wheezes served to put Clark to the
floor in what can only be described
as a power play, and the antagon-
lists retreated to their corners to
await the second bell.
A couple of head locks and
scissors about Clarks gullet served
to end the second fall in three min
utes, five seconds. The Lewis and
Clark expedition ended with the
gladiators making more noise than
the fans.
It was. the new wrestling which
came to El Centro last night, but
the spectacular body spin and fly
ing tackle were missing. Elbows,
knees and fists played as much
part in the rough and tumble al

bonded for $2,500 each and that all
fight inspectors be bonded for
