 Big Ed" Walsh, after coming close to a no-hit, no-run perform ance on no less than six occasions, finally realized his ambition, the White Sox downing the Red Sox 5 to 0, not one of Pat Donovan's lads getting a hit.
 Only twenty-eight men faced Walsh. Engle was the only one to reach first, and he got on through a pass, in the 4th inning, Even it was questionable, the fourth ball being one that Umpire Evans could have called either way.
 The nearest that any of the Bos- ton players came to getting on, other than Engle, was when, with one down in the eighth, Carrigan drove one over End which looked like a hit. Tannehill, by a master full effort, reached 1t and flashed the ball to first without balancing him. self, saving Walsh's effort by an eyelash. Then, again in the 9th, with two out, and with Riggert the only man to stand between Walsh and his coveted goal, second Baseman Mo- Connell knocked down a fierce bounder headed for right field, and

 There Is . light-heavyweight running around and threatening to throw Nagurski five times in an ohur, and Marshall is posting forfeits guaranteeing to perform the same feat. This would indi. cate that Nagurski, while a terror on the football field, just possibly might need bodyguard while being proclaimed as rasslin' monarch.
 Marshall easily might be Londos' superior in a shooting match, but shooting matches don't count in raSslin' nowadays.
 Londos has the required bucks office appeal and his long absence once more has created @ demand for his services.
 Jeemy Learned From
 Stanislaus Zbyszke
 While Q boy wrestling as an anna teur under his real name, Christo- pher Theopilos, Londos borrowed the price of @ gallery seat to see Stanislaus Zbyszko at the San Fran cisco Auditorium.
 It was that night, while seated way up there in the shadows, that the Jim Londos who was to be, grasped the importance of mat manners and mannerisms.
 Every move Londo5 makes -- from his neat introductor: bow to his WOW windup - was copied from the elder Zbyszko to become the most magnetic attraction in wrestling history. Ed Shangler Lewis has played to more people over 6 longer period, but no other limb twister packed 'em in as did Londos for a half dozen years.
 The shows the thing with Londos No other grappler ever put on a number quite as well as the statu- esque son of Athens.
 Jim Londos is tops at the turn stiles, which is where 1t counts most, and the combination landing him will have the upper hand.

 The situation Is so desperate that the rival groups have been sending out feelers to one another in efforts to form new combines strong enough to grasp control.
