In Sank Centre, but they do
know what Ia and what Is not
dirty.
Bobby Bylund. paunchy one-time
hot shot Of the game, mixed a lit
tie slapstick with his match with
wildcat Pete" ferocious grunter,
whose greatest damage to Mr.. By
lund was pinch in the back. By
lund, the bare-footed has-been,
once avoided smashing suitcase
set down ferociously by Mr.. Wild
cat Pete. If either one had been
big enough to really toss one an
other out of the ring, 1t would have
been just tough for Barber Elmer
Paske who sat in the ringside res
ervation. He was all primed on one
occasion to catch the ferocious
panther in his lap and rock him
gently to sleep, but Mr.. Bylund
got a kink in his back and couldn't
make it over the ropes. Remember
my operation" said Mr.. Bylund
when the Panther dug an elbow
into the billowy folds Of the small
Of his back, and the panther back
ed off.
Smartest crack from the
spectators: One of the gentle
men I'm the ring had the other
by the feet and with his head
dangling downward bounced 1t
several times on the hard floor
bringing several gasps from the
one In the difficult position.
Said one youthful spectator,
viewing the brutal punishment
In awe, That's right, dribble
hint"
Tsk! Tsk! Ladies, ladies, what
manner of conduct Is this. Wrest-
ling. Positively scandalous, say
some. Miss Mae Myers and Miss
kathryn Hopkins put none of the
newest tricks behind them when
they put on their special attraction
OF a fifteen minute bout. It was
not too unlady like to thrust the
others beak through the ropes and
then gently-but firmly, my dear
twist the ropes around the unsus-
pecting ones throat.
Paul Domlxe, wrestling In the
days when 1t was q science,
had an awful time with the
boys using holds that had gone
West with the fOrty-niners.
Wildcat Pete was disqualified
on a strangling hold after be-
ing warned. The hold went into
extinction with the covered wa
gon. All In all It was q pretty
fair match. No one got gyped,
and there was q lot of laughs
but the preliminaries won the
prize.
Our wandering amateur cham
pion Of the ball-through-the-hoop
artists has come back to the fold
of the city. Wandering far and
wide over these United States Will
fred Hetzel has newspaper clip
pings that would make Clark Ga
ble's fan mail look sad indeed. He
toted into this office a page Of
figures that look like a page torn
from the book of vital statistics.
We submit them to you. The
Champ was gone rs days and trav-
ersed about 10000 miles-as the
crow flies or the zephyrs blow. At
exhibitions were the crown of his
achievements performing in 38 cit
les in the south and east. Estimated
fans appeared before, approached
the figure of 1900. Prodigious, we
say. The scope of his travels took
him as far south as Dallas, Texas,
scooted him as far west as Salina,
Kansas, and then doubled him back
east to Toledo, Ohio. Mr.. Hetzel
boasts u original different styles
of his toss, on which he claims his
championship. Emporia, Kansas,
will ever be a dear city for our
honored young friend. Emporia
rates the distinction of being the
place where he received the most
thunderous applause. His only per-
feet orthodox performance was at
Sherman, Texas, where down Tex
as way he showed it could be done
when he hoped so out of half
century. His last performance, and
farewell to arms, was on April 9th
at South Bend. Indiana.

Well, Wilfred has helped
himself to a racket in the sport
world that isn't over-crowded
and getting publicity by the
handfuls has helped him no
end. To next season he looks
forward as bigger and better,
and workouts will be continued
throughout the summer when
ever he can.
