SWEDISH CHAMP WRESTLES HERE Famous Athlete to Meet Finlay-| son in Match Here John Freebers, Swedish — world champion wrestler, who will wrestle with Ellsworth Winlaysony of I{is- marck, at the South Side Bowery on the night of June 12, will grapple with Paul Dornke at Jamestown, Saturday, June 10, before coming to Bismarck. Freeberg recently has been appearing in Minneapolis and has at- acied much attention ‘because of his reported he will wrestle Strang Lewis for the world’s championship for a $5,000 side bet, with the head- Joe! rred. Freeberg is the best exponent of the wr stling game that has appear- ed in Bismarck. Finlayson was able to get him to appear here only because he was making a coast tour. | A number of requests for reserved seats have come in from surrounding towns. Freeberg has agreed to throw Finlayson twice in fifteen minutes or forfeit the match at his loss. If Fin- Jayson stays with him he has a chance | to get on with Chicago wrestling pro- moters with Hercules Johnson.

Most fighters, when they get to be} champs, think of nothing but how to hold their titles—not to whom they can leave them, But Benny Leonerd, premier light- weight, belicves in keeping the cham- | pionship in his own family. A cham- | pionship is an asset to a family, he} says. He admits he can't be title- holder forever, but he wants his suc- cessor to be named Leonard too, So he has been training his brother, Joey, up in the way ne should go. “Joc’s never yet faced an opponent in the ring,” he said, “but Billy Gib-| ¢on and I are sure he’s about ready now and we expect to start him out in| a few weeks. “I've worked on and off and with Jog for four years.

Philadelphia’s Athletics, a team that finished in last place cach season for the last seven years, has been the sen- sation of the first two months of the American League campaign. Conn:e Mack’s organization, going through a long and tedious process of reconstruc- tion, apparently has arrived However, the reason for the sudden turn of events in the life #nd habits of‘the team is due not wholly to the men that Mack hae had under him for the last few years. On the con- trary, the bulk of tne credit is given to three players who came to the Athletics this year from other clubs. “Pep” Young, second baseman, was-se- cured from Detroit; “Bing” Miller, cen- ter ficlder, came to Philadelphia from Washington, and “Doc” Johnston, first baseman, is from Cleveland. Young’s case is peculiar. Last spring, as a member of the Detroit team, Young suddenly developed a He found it im. possible to throw accurately to first, particularly when there were runners on the bases. His bad throws were nearly all costly ‘Nothing Visibly Wrong. ‘Several examinations of Young's arm failed to reveal any physical weakness and Young was suffering, apparently, from a mental hazard. When he showed the same weak- neegs this spring, Detroit decided that Young could not overcome the fault as long as he played with the Tigers and so waivers were asked on him, Connie Mack took him at the waiver price, When Young reported to Mack, the Athletic boss asked him how his arm was and Young told him that it was in fine shape. “How's your Mack. throwing?” asked PRESS AGENTING IS OVERDONE Roger Peckinpaugh, star shortstop of the Washington team, has been having the worst spring of his career.

The case of Pec- inpaugh may be one of those un- sual ones in baseball where a vet- jeran is the victim of too much press | agenting. Peckinpaugh is rather inclined to that line of reasoning. In discussing his case he says: “When I was secured by the Wash- |ington club many of.the experts were kind enough to say that my addition to the team practically assured the pennant. Boosted Too Much “That line of gossip was much published in Washington. It. was. said that with me at short, Washington had the best infield in the American League, if not both leagues. “Such kind words were all very lovely, but it seems there has been a reaction. The fans, having been fed on the pennant-winning talk, failed |to take very kindly to the tailend stuff that our club began pulling with the opening of the season. i “Since I was the player advertised |as the one individual who made cer- tain the pennant for Washington the fans naturally started to pick me to jpieces. My failure to get away to a good start has given them many op- |portunities to use me as a target for \their jibes. | Became the Goat “One player seldom makes any ‘ball club.

What is the matter with the New York Giants? : ie Can it be that McGraw’s team is suf- foring from overconfidence? It is the history of most world championship teams that they suffer from overconfidencg during ‘the early stages of the race. I have seen this condition crop out a number of times in the American League with some club fortunate eupusl to have copped the world ser- es. The Cincinnati Redg of 1919 so suf- fered in 1920.. The Reds had so de- cisively defeated the great club repre- “I guess so;, too, But my troubles igenting the Chicago White Sox that also are mental. For seven years I have been managing ball clubs ‘here |ion the winning of the 1920 pennant asa ! mere formality of playing’ out the | se, his canyee that have succeeded in finishing. last each year and that fg enough mental trouble for anyone. I can sympathize Throw the Ball. “Now, I want you to do just one thing for me and that is—throw the ball, “You are g0ing to play second base. You are going to play it alone. The position is yours. Nobody is going to give you any advice or interfere with you and nobody_is going to criti- cize you. All you have to do is go out there and play second and when you get that ball you throw it. , “Now, I don’t care if you throw it 20 feet wide of first base or 20 feet over the first baseman’s head. Throw it into the grandstand or throw it out of the park, but throw it and throw it every time you get it. That's all.” Young followed Mack’s advice. The throwing weakness disappeared. With this fault erased Young began hitting the ball and doing some remarkable fielding. Confidence, was restored in him and when a man fully believes in himself he can do remarkable things. Young as heen doing them. His infielding has been the sensation of the Ath- leties’ play, just as “Bing” Miller's outfielding has been. Young is play- ing better ball than he ever played be- fore. System’s Bearing Fruit. : Mack’s system of handling his play- ers is bearing fruit and the results show in the American League stand- ing column, The other day “Tillie” Walker and Miller were both after a fly ball. Neither could have gotten it. Neither saw the other and the result was a collision, the ball falling safe. As they returned to the bench, Miller said to Walker, “Why don’t you keep out of the way. I'd got that ball if you hadn’t run into me. Watch out where you're going.” “Now boys,” said Connie. “It was all right. Neither of you could have gotten that ball; nobody could have gotten it. You both did right in try- ing for it and neither is to blame; nobody could be blamed.” ‘And the athletics are winning. —— SF | | BillyEvansSays | io ~ aig Recruit, pitchers are certainly play- ing a prominent part in the spring games of the American League. ee 8 It looks very much as if several of the clubs had picked up some likely pitching material In baseball there is no greater assct than pitching. * * * The Washington club has’ Phillips and Gleason, Both have dorie excel- lent work this spring and seem to be valuable additions to the Washington staff. se et Phillips isn’t a youngster in point of cruit, since his previous big league stay was very limited, Cleveland once gave him a short trial.

In the world series of 1921 the New York pitching looked great. Nehf proved that he"was a great left hand- er.

Toney didn’t have much luck in the series, although he warned up in fine style, During the series I talked with a number of National I.eague players.
