Wrestling Verdict
Hard To Figure

PASADENA, Jan. "a. U.P) - A
wrestling double play, Col. John
Hopkins to Pat Fraley to Rudy
Skarda, was blamed today for a
generally-held opinion that Fraley
won a decision over Skarda in their
bout here Monday night.
At the close of the match Hop
kins, referee, hoiSted Fraley's arm.
Newspapermen and spectators alike
retired, believing Fraley had earned
the decision.
But. Hopkins explained today. he
was carrying one arm in a sling
and therefore was unable to raise
the arms OF both F'raley ana Skarda
to indicate the draw
He therefore asked Fraley to hoist
Skarda S right arm, which Fraley
did, out no one recognized the tri-
party Wig-wag.

HERMAN To
Be HOLDOUT

| CHICAGO, Jan. "a U.P-FloyG
Babe Herman, Chicago Cubs out
fielder, doesn't mind being showed
out of the spotlight in favor of
Chuck Klein, Cubs latest sluggine
acquisition, but he does object to his
salary check reflecting it.
Herman, therefore. became the
Cubs first official holdout. Her
mans unsigned contract came back
from Glendale. Calf, today. With
it came a message indicating that
Herman thought he had been treat
ed with unfairneSS.
You didn't cut my salary: you
used a cleaver on it." the Babe was
reported to have said.
The position as a holdout was not
a new role for Herman. Ever since
1890, when he played with Brook
lyn. Herman has made a regular
practice of returning contracts. Last
year he managed to get a salary of
some $4,000 after many conferen-
ceS. His sorry showing last year was
said to have resulted in any new
idea his club may have as to his
worth. He batted only .282 last year.
Manager Charles Grimm told
Herman he expected better year
for him in "a with Klein in the
spotlight instead of Herman. Her
man was said to feel that he should
be paid on the basis Of Grimm's eX-
pectationS.
Lynn Nelson, Cubs pitcher, be-
came the twelfth Cub to sign his
1884 contract. Nelson drove here
from Kansas City to sign his con-

Doctors Give Creosote
For Chest Colds

For many years our best doctors
have prescribed creosote in some

is to let them hang on.
Creomulsion with creosote and
six other highly important medi-

Creomulsion is powerful in the
treatment of colds and coughs, yet
it is absolutely harmless and is
pleasant and easy to take.
Your own druggist guarantees
Crecmulsion by refunding your
money if you are not relieved after
taking Creomulsion as directed. Be-

in his hunger, might eat his way

boats on display, and polish off a

Where's Pershing?
No one blamed Pershing for his
flight AS Mr. Edwards explained.
a beavers front teeth grow at an
abnormal pace, and unless given
something really hard to chew on,
soon become so long that he can't
chew at all. Pershing, he said, un-
doubtedly grew weary of the pea

York backwoodSmen unknoWingly
fed him, and the tender evergreen
trees supplied by the show, and SO
broke loose in search of proper fare.
Late last night, with Pershing
still at large, the management de-
cided on a ruse to lure him from
hiding. After closing timea meal
that no beaver could resist was

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-It will be
five years against five pounds to-
night when Barney Ross, ight-
weight champion, and ancient Billy
Petrolle battle for the right to a
crack at the welterweight crown.
They are slated for 10 rounds, and
a capacity crowd of 10000 is expect
ed at the Coliseum.
Ross is Spotting the Fargo Ex-
press five pounds. The Chicago boy
will crawl through the ropes weigh
ing about 1877, while battered Billy
from Duluth will toss off his hoss
blanket at about l42, his natural
fighting weight.
However. the betting fraternity
believes that Petrolle's weight ad-
vantage will be more than offset by
the champions youth. Old Billy is
spotting Barney five years. He is 90

TonightS match is a return bout
Barney and Billy fought a blister

forced to boil down to 1873 pounds.
At 142 pounds, Petrolle ranks with
Jimmy M McLarnin, welterweight
king, as one of the most dangerous
puncherS among the smaller men.
Ross is as quick as a mongoose.
He is an excellent boxer, He is

with the Duluth dynamiter, he will
be in danger of being knocked out.
And this writer believes he will be
