WOLF VILLAIN
Of WRESTLING

Chief Little Wolf is the new
villain of the local wrestling
world today. He turned to this
character last night in his bout
with Jack Donovan, the Irish
hope.
Discarding his peaceful ways
which followed his debut a week
ago, the Indian became a vicious,
snarling he-man against Donovan
to win after 10 short minutes Of
graphing.
Little Wolf probably became the
villain because Donovan weaved
himself out of death lock holds
three Zines. Too, Donovan tore
a leaf out of VOLTS notebook by
getting the Indian in that hold
himself. Onl.:' Wolf broke loose
too.
The finish came when Wolf ur1-
corked a couple of bulldog head
locks, one or two flying tackles
and a powerful body press. 1t was
a typical ending, but effective no
end.

George F. Hardin, president of
the Holy Name Society Bowling

to members of the champion N.
E. Temple team for winning the
team championship of the recent
national tournament, tonight at
Columbia.
The bowlers on the Temple
aggregation are Ollie Pacini,
George Honey, Howard Parsons,
Gene Hargett and Johnny An

The Temple sharpshooters
rolled 1886 in winning the
crown, establishing an au-time
record.
Little happened in the Wash

at Columbia. Only Ed Blakeney
came through with any real
shooting. He shot 1872 to adj
vance to second place in Class A
singles.
Two changes were recorded in
the women's tournament. Lucille
Young and her sister Bernice
Preble rolled their way into the
lead in Glass B doubles by turn
ing in a 637 set. Bess Huffman
and Florence Sabean went into
second place in the same class
by rolling 629.

Derby, it never Sonny workman
theless points him out as at
least the strongest prospect.
In tomorrow's renewal Of the
Kentucky Derby, the horse which
best measures up to these lines
is C. V. Whitney's Today, and
he must necessarily become my
choice.
True, he does not stand out in
the same imposing form as did
Cavalcade last year, but does
nevertheless, hold two straight
victories under his belt.
In his second one, the Wood
Memorial Stakes, run at Jamaica
last Saturday, he outdiStanced
some of the strongest Derby
hopes.

est riders, is due to have the

Omaha to Place
Omaha, owned by William
Woodward's Belair Stud, seems
capable of anneXing second
money if Jockey William Saun-
ders, slated for the task, keeps
him closer to the pace. Omaha,
son of Gallant Fox, Derby win
ner and three-year-old champion
of 1880, is an acknowledged dis
lance racer but has been holding
back in some of his races. He
has also met with poor racing
luck several times. In the Wood
Memorial he closed like a demon
to capture third money and was
barely beaten for the place award.
A more forward ride tomorrow
might even net him the victory

triumph in the Chesapeake Stakes

Best of Season
Roman Soldier, representing
Elwood Sachsenmaier and Trainer

campaigning as one of the best
of the season. He won the Texas
Derby as a final prep for his
big engagement tomorrow. He is
a seasoned reuter- and capable
weight carrier. Roman Soldier
possesses a rare brand of cour-
age and really merits the victory.
Lester Balaski is the prospective
rider.
Boxthorn, Col. E. R. Bradley's
entry, is the unknown factor.
This thoroughbred, a highly rated
juvenile last year, will make the
Derby his first start of the year.
Look out for him. Bradley has
already won three Kentucky
Derbys and always enters with
blood in his eye. Don Meade is

THIS surname is thought to have
l. originated from residence of some
early ancestors near an oak tree to
which some sanctity was attached.
The American colonist bearing his
name was Edward Holyoke, a clergy
man, who was born in Tamworth, in
the County of Stafford. England. He
arrived in this country in 1889 and
took up his residence in Lynn, Mass.
The coat of arms here shown was
born by this settler and was found
on seal affixed to the will OF his
grandson, Eleazar Holyoke, in I'LL.
Eleazar was the father of Edward
Holyoke, founder and president OF
Holyoke College. His son, DR.. Ed
ward Augustus Holyoke, lived to be
100 years of age.
