The men had hardly started to wrestle when it! was ‘all over. — Stecher grabbed Lewis by the left arm with both hands clamping on a deadly double} wristlock. He carried Lewis to the| floor, sprawling all over him, and) awkardly forcing him to the mat. The third fall came unexpectedly and without warning but with Lew forcing the issue. He vainly tried) to clamp on a few headlocks, then switched his attack to the arms and upset Stecher with a bar arm or a} double wristlock. He viciously ap- plied the leverage while Stecher, seeking to escape, moved his body to the edge of the ring and tangled Charley Paddock, one of the cham- pions Dean Cromwell has developed at Southern Californi: Hustrates correct starting and finishing posi- tion. Paddock is shown here on his marks, getting set, getting away and at the finish. ( . No sprinter ever became a cham- pion by working alone. He must. have competition, to learn to fight for the tape. This can’t be learned by running against time. Form alone won't win races. Coasting to victory during hard training does not build up. So if a boy is far better than any- one on his team, he should give a teammate enough head start to make it an effort for him to catch up. Here he must guard against jumping the gun—that defeats the necessary thing in sprinting, mental. alertness. The greatest speed developer is the running of sveral 35-yard dashes once or twice a week. A full 100- yard dash in practice isn’t good because a boy gets to thinking he can do it just so fast and no faster. For stamina, 220- yard dashes are splendid for the century runner. ’ back of the startin; line.

That is the question uppermost in the mind of the Mysterious Promo- ter today after receiving a night letter from “Long Count” Dave Barry of Chicago, stating that busi- ness matters would prevent his ac- cepting the invitation to handle the Billy rolle-Rusty Jones feud re- newal here next Tuesday night. Four other names were suggested to the Unknown Promo*r today. They are O. W. Roberts, Bismarck sportsman; George Barton, sports editor of a Minneapolis paver; Ed L. Shave, sports editor of & St. Paul ee and Leo Kossick, the veteran U Eve deg and arbiter of !“oorhead, inn, The venerable Mr. Roberts, how- ever, automatically eliminated hit. - self, stating that he was not as young as he used to be cnd that it would be better to have a more sprightly man handle the arena diplomacy. It is evident that the Western Union wires will be used today in an effort to learn the attitude of the three other candidates for referee and the Mysterious Promoter said that financial arguments would probably prevent any definite an- nouncement before Thursday at the earliest. Tickets Go Briskly Harris and Woodmansee’s, who are handling the Annie Oakleys for the big fistic carnival, report a brisk sale. One order for seats was received yesterday \.hich almost floored the white-haired director of ticket sales. It was for '25 seats and was accompanied by a check. Other blocks 97 12, 16, 10, and smaller divisions have been coming in likewise, Some misunderstanding has arisen over the rush seat sale. ‘ Ordinarily the rush seats are not put on sale until the night of the fight. However, they are on sale now and while the tickets may be re- served, the seats themselves cre not. Most of the gallery seats have al- ready been spoken for, according to Mr. Harr’. Paulino Uzcudun, in three years as a heavyweight fighter, is said to have made more than $225,000, most of which he has today. MORE DASHES Keech Says He Traveled 253 Miles Per Hour in Barred Motor at Daytona Daytona Beach, Fla., Feb. 21.—() —Possessed of a new mark to shoot , at, automobile racing drivers here today had redoubled their ene: toward surpassing all previous speeds at which four vehicles have traveled along the ground. Frank Lockhart, of Indianapolis, and J. M. White, of Philadelphia, were seeking the proper combina- tion of motor temperament and Beach condition which would permit them to challenge the new time of 206.956 miles an hour set Sunday by Malcolm Campbell of London, in HH Monster Napier blue bird spe- cial, Lockhart spun his comparatively Tiny Stutz blackhawk special over the sands against the wind yester- day at an officially timed rate of 200.22246 miles per hour, but did not make the return trip which would have made his an official try for the record. A trip in each di- rection over the mile course, for an average speed, constitutes an offi- cial mile. Traveled 253 Per Ray Keech, likewise unlimbered the gigantic 36-cylindered machine belonging to White yesterday, but was forced from an official attempt by a minor accident which resulted in slight injuries to Keech. White said last night the machine attained a speed of “more than 253 mules an hour” during its run, but that its average over one way of the charted mile was cut to 186 miles per hour by the motor trouble which sent a spray of live steam flying pa-k over the pilot. White’s machine is at present un- der the ban of the American auto- mobile association because it is not equipped with a clutch or reverse gear and its attempts will not be of- ficially recognized until it has been made to conform to that body’s standards. Campbell's record sup- planted the former high speed of 203.6 miles per hour attained last year by Major H. O. D. Segrave, al- so of England.
