That's Just what Everett Mar
shall, the f1ashy Colorado heavy
weight grappler, did at the Armory
last night in the feature tussle of
the Hercules A. c. card.
,Sneering Sol, who holds a place
high on the local public mat enemy
list, had waddled through a series
of triumphs here before he bumped
into MarShall-and come. a-cropper.
And there were more than 1000 GUS
toners, one of the largest crowds of
the indoor season, on hand to see
Slagels downfall.
Marshall bounced Sol about the
ring like big rubber ball. In fact
he did everything but dribble him
The blond westerner required only
10 minutes to flop the Kansan the
first time, a series of slams and
short-arm tackles doing the dirty
work.
The boys put on steam for the
second fall, which ended with Mar
shall on top after 80 minutes of
tuSsling. A series of Surfboard toe
holds slowed down Slagel, some
more short-arm tackles, the La
Junta FASTENERS speciality, put him
on the skids, and three reverse body
slams finished him.
There were few dull moments
throughout the main-go action. The
two preliminary struggles provided
their share of fireworks. Two of
the tough boys tangled in the semi
windup and came out all even after
thirty minutes of f1stic-grappling
action. They we're Karl Chg Boy)
Davis, the Columbus CO. clouter,
and Charley Strack, 235-pound Bos-
tonian. They squared off in pugil-
iStic fashion. ira ding assorted
punches freely. There wasn't much
difference at the finish. Davis
copied the nod in fisticuffs, and
Strack had the edge in wrestling.
Otto KusS. the giant Indiana U
star, made it four victories in a row
since turning pro, by Hopping
Whitley Hewitt, Memphis toughy, in
Is minutes with a series of tackles
and slams. Young Otto can give
and-take and is proving a favorite
with the fans.
From top to bottom the show last
night was one of the best of the in
door season.

Tribute Paid old HOSs

EDWARD J. GEIGER, sports ed
H itor of the Chicago American,
pays a glowing tribute to Riggs
Stephenson, the veteran Chicago
Cubs outfielder who has accepted
terms to play with the Indianapolis
Indians this year. Geiger writes as
follows:
Chicago fans regretted learning
Of Stephenson's passing several
weeks ago after nine faithful and
successful seasons with the Cubs.
Wherever sports fans gathered the
subject of the Old HoSs sooner or
later was discussed.
Il had hoped that Stevie would
catch on with another major league
club, feeling that even though he is
80, old as ball players go, he still
had ability both as a hitter and a
fielder.
But instead he is signed with
indianapolis. He was playing there
when the Cubs bought him back in
1926, one of the smartest deals they
ever made. I can we'll imagine that
Stevie again will be a hero in the
Indiana city"
