PAGE FOUR JACK TAYLOR AND MIYAKA DRAW ‘SECRETARY OF STATE LAMARQUE LOSES SINGLE FALL “i ue et Wyoming Champion Fails to Pin Canadian Twice In Hour, But Makes Wonderful Showing On Double Bill at the Iris Monday Jack Taylor, showing vast improvement over his former sppearance with Tero Miyaka, battled the Jap to a draw in the jiu-jitsu match last night and lost his handicap to Frank Lamargue by failing to pin the Canadian twice in an hour. The surprise of the evening came in the match with Lamarque, who although greatly outweighed by Taylor, was ‘wary enough to stay away from pun- ishing holds for a long enough time to insure that Taylor could not beat him twice in the allotted 60 minute period. The Canuck was casily outclassed wy Taylor and was virtualiy helpless in the grip of the Wyoming giant. Whenever Taylor was leading for a heid which would permit him to get the proper leverage Lamarque would either come across with some count- er move or would crawl slowly to the edge of the mat. It wes a continuation of this prac- tice from the start of the match until 51 minutes had expired and Taylor) had taken the first fall with a crotch and half Nelson hold. Once or twice during the remaining niné minutes of the match it seemed certain that Taylor would pin Lamar- que and win his handicap, but at the Proper tnoment the Canadian would break free of the hold, and the time expired without the second fall. To show what Taylor undertook when he agreed tu throw Lamarque twice in 60 minutes, the Mondt-La- marque match which resulted in a two-hour draw at Iazamie Friday night is evidence of the Canadian’s ability. After a 20-minute rest, Taylor was ready for his jiu jitsu match with Terro Miyaka. Toots Mondt was in- troduced to the crowd which taxed the Iris auditorium to the limit as the referee for Miyaka and Dick Farrel ‘was named to look after Taylor's in- terests. ‘Taylor took the aggressive from: the start. As everything goes in jiu jitsu both men brought anything that they thought of into play. ‘Time after time Taylor ond the Jap would stand up and exchange open handed blows and it was while they were on their feet that Taylor ap- peared to have the better of the ar- gument. For 80 minutes the match switched back and forth and never @uring the entire time was Taylor ever in danger of losing the match. Many times, especially in the last two quarters, it appeared that Taylor was certain of beating the Jap at his own game, but at ths proper moment Mtyaka would break the hold of his less experienced antagonist. The four 20-minute periods of jiu jitsu developed more action than was ever seen on the local mat and the crowd evidenced its keen pleasure in the efforts that were put forth. Although Taylor failed to win eith- er of the matches, his superiority over Tamarque was evident and in a match where both men wrestled all the time Club Standing National League.

In the Miyaka match, the fact that Taylor was able to hold the Jap even and get a draw with him is virtually a victory for the loca) man. He was up against un unknown game and depended sole- ly on’ his strength, weight and stam- ina to withstand the punishing holds of jiu jitsu to get a draw.

PHILADELPHIA, April 26—Kid Yilliams defeated Joo Burman in it rounds last night. | Every team has its strongest de- partment and Scottsbluff ts pointing to its pitching staff with considerable pride and confidence. Waltet Kin- ney is undoubtedly as promising « young pitcher as can be found any- where in the country. Last year, Kinney was with the Athletics when rhe heard the call of the outlaw siren and jumped his contract to take up an alluring offer from Franklin, Pa., in the oil league. When business de- pression put that league out of the running, he naturally asked for re- admission to the majors again. The canny Connie Mack made every at- tempt to have him reinstated but Judge Landis refused to listen and Kinney was saved for the Midwest league. Bruce Hitt, a big husky right- hander from Texas, is another pitch- ing-ace on the Scottsbluff lineup. He had a tryout with the Yankees this spring but refused to sign up when they offered to farm him out with one of the Southern association teams. Jack Killeen, formerly with Tacoma in the International, and Blmer Hill from the Vernon club in the Coast league, : form the remaining portion of the Scottsbluff hurling staff. H. E. Benninghoven, another coast product, will be behind the bat and reports say that he is among the best on the circuit. Roche has a fair infield which is a trifle weak at third base. Skeets ‘Walker and Eddie Newberry are bat- tling for the third base berth, but neither man {s a first class player. Danny Clark at short and Maurice McKnight in the Yellowstone league last year at second are both good men who may be depended upon to hold down their positions in fine fashion. Runt Clark, who was with the Scottsbluff team last year, Don Flynn/a former Texas leaguer, and Blondie Hayes, who was with Cas- per last year, will form the outfield. Altogether the team is strofig in pitching and outfield, fair in the in- field and strong in batting, a team that will bear much ‘watching through the season. KRANNIGER AGAIN gy PUATS STERLING. Sterling, like Casper, is one cf the few teams in the Midwest league that has a large number of players who were on the team last year, and of whom the management has some def- inite information. Jake Kranniger, who led the team last year is again on the job and while he will take his turn behind the bat, he will spend a great deal of his time and effort in directing the team. Mike Kennedy, of Kansas City, who has seen serv: ice in the Three-I and Western leagues, will relieve Kranniger of much of the backstop work. Kran- niger himself, is one of the old school of ball players, when the player thought more of the fun in the game than of the pay check. Steve Brewer, who was on first for the leaguers last year, will be there again and Sterling fans say that this position will be well taken care of.

With a team composed largely riors, representing the thriving little city ofJack Roche and his band of lusty baseball war- of youngsters, Roche has a baseball machiite that will put up a battle with any, of the other five teams in the Midwest league. Roche himself is from that kindergarten of base- ball, the Pacific coast, from which comes so many of the stars of big league circles. He plays base and is rated as one of the best seen in the west last season. r Joseph and other Western league teams. i Otto Kopping, another veteran of last year’s team, will be at second with the flashy Jimmy Peyton on short. Peyton had a tryout with the St. Louis Browns this spring and missed the chance merely because the Browns had more good shortstops than pitchers. Bob Murphy, a former Federal leaguer, is at third and forms the third of a brillant infield combina- tion. While the Sterling team is as well balanced as any in the league, the infield will be one of its strong- est departments. Johnny Meunor, of the Rigby, Idaho, team last year, will work as a utility infielder, , Silcott, who wag witn the Cardinals in 1919, Schoonover of Omaha, a vet eran star of last year’s team, ‘and Black of the Texas leagué, form « hard hitting, brilliant flelding bunch of gardeners who will be one of the strongest offensive machines in the The veteran Voorheixs will be Kranniger's pitching ace this season. Voorheiss was rated as one of the best pitchers in the west last year and Kranniger says he is going better than ever this spring. Schimel, who ‘was with the team last year, is: an- other boxman. of high class abiilty and Kranniger has added McGuire and Powers, both of Omaha, to his staff to hold up his .pitching depart- ment to the standard set by the other teams in the league. McGraw, of Pueblo, a brother of . the Vernon, Coast league, star Bob, will ‘be given a tryout and his work will be watched with interest by all the fans of Colo- rado. Sterling has a well balanced team in every respect. With brilliant field- ing assured and a bunch of hard hit- ters on.the lneup the only doubt in considering BSicrling is its pitching staff. If the pitchers come through as they expect the pennant will fly from the Sterling ramparts noxt Sep- tember. DENVER, LEAGURRS Denyer fans are’ banking high upon the Bronchos to be up fighting in ‘the Midwest leuigue race, for after seeing them in action sin), several. practice games, it would see that'‘Tom Downey has gathe together a, bunch that will bring back the days of Jack Hendricks and the Western league. Downey bas everything necessary to make a good team, a wonderful out- field, an infield in Keeping with the best in the league, a catcher in Ben Diamond, who is easily in a class by himself and a pitching staff that seems to be.a good. one. Buzz Murphy is certainty one of the finest outfielders in the league, a brilliant. fielder and a consistent hit- ter. Elsh, who will be in left and Cochran in right, are also great field- ers and sluggers of the first water. Bert Graham, a former Pacific In- ternational leaguer, is rapidly getting his bearings on first. He is a real slugger and may be depended on as clean-up.man on the Bronchos bat- ting list.”.

Downey himself will be at third and Tom is soaking, them across the diamond in @ manner that gives the lie to the reports that his arm was gone. Little need be said of Ben-Diamond. His reputation as a catcher has gone far through this western country and his right wing is the terror of ambi- tious base stealers. Denver, like most of the other teams on the circuit, is taking its pitching staff on trial. Joe Dawson, Downey says, will be one of the stars of the league. He looks well in practice games and seems to have the stuff. Lefty Scoggins is a southpaw: of real class. Schinkel and Larkin are pitchers of similar cppearance. Both have a smoky speed ball and a pretty change of pace. Red Donovan is essentially a shineball pitcher but he and his friends say that he will be just as good a twirler without it. As he is practically unbeatable with the aid of the shine ball, he has set him- self a high standard. ‘The ‘Broncs are a, strong team, there is no doubt of that and Denver, like every other city on the circuit, is al- ready making plans to win the gon- talon. pea ate Peis ea FINE HOME DAMAGED. * CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 26.—The home of Dr. G.
