SPORTAPARADE.
hAA&Hh{lD
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Corresponds

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Dec. 81. - Those
persons who are good at sitting
down before a roaring fire, pipe
in mouth, sheep dog at feet, and
specializing, would do their nation
a great service by speculating on
where in the hell the noble game
of wrestling is going and what 1t IS
trying to arrive at.
One had only to review the wrest-
ling situation to realize that the
sport is in bad way, and that
unless something is done quickly a
sport which has endured down
through the ages, is likely to be put
to an end by the sanitary COM
missioners or representatives from
the S. P. G. A.
One of the first things that must
be done if wrestling is to be saved
is for some one to sit down and de-
termine who's champion. For this
country, fine and understanding as it
is, cannot be expected to bear up
under so many champions much
longer. l would gladly assume this
onerous task myself were it not for
the fact that 1 have already been
working on it six months without
success. In fact, my research, in
stead of narrowing the field of
champions, increased it. According
to my wrestling family tree there
are 6,781 legitimate claimants to the
title.
The championship confusion real
ly started when Stranger Lewis
wrestled Henry Deglane of Canada
for the title. Deglane, you remem-
ber, won on a foul when he ex-
hibited marks on his legs and
claimed they were put there by the
old Stranger IS old teeth, or vice
versa. After several days CT sleuth-
ing, during which time they are
reported to have compared the
scars on a bowl of soup bitten into
by the Stranger with the marks
on Deglane's leg, the judges award
ed the Canadian the title. So, if
the title passes every time cham
pion bites an opponent or man
bitten by a champion bites his op-
ponent, there must be fully 6,781
champions at large. In fact, one
wrestler I asked concerning the
matter told me that if getting bit
ten made you champion his empire
should extend to all the countries
of the earth, and that he himself
had created IL champions in the
past 10 days.
Another problem which needs i'm
mediate attention is the one in
volving wrestling referees. Ju
what are wrestling referees? Where
did they come from? Do they
eat? Sleep? Breathe like other
people? What good are they? And
what are they looking for when
they drop on all four and peer in
tently under the painting, heaving
sweating backs and bellies of the
pachyderms? Certainly they re not
looking to see if wrestler's Shoul-
ders are touching. For they don I
end matches that way any more
Matches end now only when one
Cor both) grunterS wear themselves
out acting or the soft chimes of the
curfew send them to the pastures
for a few hours of quiet grazing
Another puzzler to be solved is
how on earth we are going to get
rid of Jim LondoS as a champion
1t can't be by getting him thrown
for unless my memory is up to some
tomfoolery James was thrown by
Joe Savoldi, only to get himself
some new stationery with the let
terhead "Jim Londos, Champion OF
the World, in eight inch type in
stead of the usual and modest sew
en- inch.

MY RECIPES for intellectual
IN work? They are the fruit OF
N the experience Of a writer, but
4 l think them efficaciouS in all
professions which exact, under
VARYING forms mental work.
II seems to me that the first requisite
for any intellectual success is the Vlgor
and the persistence OF the effort. Moth
ing is easy; everything can become easy.
Naturally, it would be futile to apply
this effort TO tasks for which one has
no natural inclination. One could not
become a great poet by working 10
hours a day. But the gift without work
is nothing. Balzac was a marvelously
gifted novelist, but VINO ever WORKED
harder? GeniuS-unflagglng patience:
this is an old formula, but ever true.
The secret Of effective work is regu-
1aritv of work Emile Zoia had en-
Eraved in his house: Nulla die sine linea
,never a day without its lmc). A mod
est motto, for in fact the valiant Zola
would write a thousand lines a day.
That's a lot, but l believe 1t would be
excellent discipline to impose on ones
self the task of being at ones desk
certain number of hours every Gay. II
Is evident, of course, that there Woulc
be days when one would feel incapable
Of thought. Too bad. II one starts 10
yield TO self-indulgence. if one says to
ones self at the first sign of llstless-
ness: To-day l feel tired. Id better

weakness will develop steadily, and one
will surrender to laziness and mdlder-
ence without remOrSe.
Task to Be Mastered.
In order to master a lengthy and
difficult task one must be convinced
that one can finish it. Think of the
courage that is necessary 10 tackle the
sob involved in writing novel. Who
could have such courage without conf
dcnce in himself? How to acquire con-
fdence? BY gradually increasing the
difficulties one imposes upon ones self.
While one must BE- stern with ones
self. one must beware of demanding the
impossible. A very well known writer
once told me how he had started to
write a novel in the first persCn because
II was easier for him. although he knew
all the time that he should do 1t in the
third person. He did this later, with
great success. His, think, was 4 good

PUTTING OFF WORK FATAL
TO SUCCESS, SAYS WRITER
Disciplined Brain Enables One to Find
Necessary Relaxation Without
Loss of Time.

the mental work Of young people. How
many students have I seen who would
not even try to understand Latin text
because they were convinced that Latin
was an unintelligible language and that
all effort would be in vain! For others,
mathematics is considered the uncon-
uuerable obstacle from which the mind
each time without even attempting to
clear it. lodges. Yet, "by dividing the
difficulties as Descartes used to say.
I believe there is not single normal
mind that could not understand Latin
and mathematics. 1t is up to the
teacher, by a wise progression, to instill
confidence In the diffident.
Solid Foundations Necessary.
Another rule (Which has to do with
the preceding) is this: In your studies
go back again to the beginning, and
above all do not skip anything. Almost
all the failures, the intellectual COL
lapseS are due to insuff1ciently solid
foundations. The desire to interest
ones self in complex sciences and diff
ficult problems while ignorant of or
having forgotten elementary algebra
and geometry is a common malady of
our day. How many women We all
know discuss Einstein and who ignore
Euclid The truly cultivated man will
retrace (rapidly, but in historical order)
the road followed by the SavantS. Bear
in mind that often the works of great
men, of those who have made discov-
cries, are plain end luminous, While the
summaries of their commentators are
obscure and unintelligible. There again
DeScarteS is a model. 1t is necessary
that we also make a clean sweep OF old
Another rule: Choose. Let each de-
termine, among the subjects which
appeal to him, those which seem to suit
his tastes and his talents best; let him
apply himself to these with all his
strength, and give up all the others. In
other words. concentration and econ
omy of energy One cannot succeed in
mental work unless one thinks about it
all the time. and one can have ones
mind on only a very few things all the
time. A man can become great novel
iSt, great industrialist or great poll
tician, but it is quite rare and almost
impossible that he could be all at the
same time.
Means of Relaxation.
One correction, however, is necessary.
If one gives the greatest part of ones
time and effort to a subject. one has
the right, as a means of relaxation, to
study one or two other subjects occa-
Sionally Few people can fix their un-
divided attention on a single point with
out respite. st. Ignatius de Loyola used
to advise the first Jesuits not to work
at the same thing more than two hours
at a stretch. It's a good rule. Have in
your life a center of activity, but also
some secondary centerS. The mind de-
mandS from time to time bath Of for
getfulness. 1t returns then refreshed
to its main task.
VIII these rules render intelligent one
who is not already so? No. indeed But
almost all men are intelligent; it is
method that they lack. Good sense"
