Followers of ‘‘he-man” Monday evening at the Ben Meyers garage and sporting emporium when Clarence Eklund, of Sheridan and Fudy Dushek, ef Kentucky, grapple through minutes, half hours, or hours to a finish. Speed is to be the chief draw- ing card for Monday's program. Both are classed as light heavyweights and have national reputations for agil ity, speed, and skillful leg work, In fact, Eklund has engaged in matches with men whose weight at match time far exceéded his, and has suc ceeded in defeating 90 per cent of his opponents in a decisive manner. Only occasionally has ® fall been ve- corded against Eklund, and each time a man whose weight proved too great a handicap was pronounced. victor. Not only is Eklund strong, wiry, and trained to the minute, he Is scientific and almost superhumanly skillful in his art. Dushek comes to this city with a chain of victories in his wake that put to shame, the average grappler. ‘His name is far from new in wrest- ling annals, and “speed” is his mid. dle name. He concedes to Eklund eome superiority in leg work, and ac- tual experience, but is confident that with superior speed, cunning, and agil- ity he will be able to pin the Sheridan man's shoulders to the mat, before many minutes elapse after the sound a © gong. ‘Dade’ Gilmore who needs no in- troduction to the present population ef Casper, and Walt Walters, once regarded as Casper's fastest light- weight, but who left here to make s mame for himself in other climés will engage in - six-round fistle fray. Wal- ter’s success is known to those ‘who thave followed the fortunes of the young pug, and his return to Casper im watched with interest by every fight fan. In Monday's fight, Walters hopes to wrest the Casper crown of light ‘weight popularity from the head of the handsome “Dude” Gilmore, and ‘vill be found ready to meet any and all comers in the future. > ‘The battle itself should be a regu- lar old-time “rip snortin” affair with plenty of claret flowing. Gilmore will mot give up to a compartive new comer without putting up a “whale of @ battle,” and especially after recently earning a draw Gecision over that aggressive Italian, Wep Flynn of A! Uance, Neb. Betting odds on the two lads are about even, and as both boys are bona- fide lightweights, and in the pink of condition, a disgruntled audience Mon- day night will undoubtedly be con- spicuots by its absence. eS nee Club Standings ‘National League, Clubs— Won Lost Pct.

Boating expert8 aro agreed that the marvelous speed of the new world’s champion as displayed in the English Henley regatta, is due to his pecular stroke—a short, swift movement, which, in actual test during the Thames competition pre- duced as high as fifty-elght com- plete strokes a minute. Nothing in the annals of equatic sport reveal that any other follower of the sculls was capable of such execution and admittedly, there were nohe at the English water sweeptakes who were even closely matched with the Duluth lad in point of technique Hoover's masterly style, is self. originated, eccording to those who have watched him through his long and arduous training since he left his employment es an engineer, in the old home town to seek the scull- ing championship of the world, and even the title holder himself, is not wholly able to define or explain the creation of his strike. During his first sev years’ connec- tion with the Duluth Boat club, Hoover was uncertain as to his par- ticular abjlity with the cars and he was doubtful in what division his ef- forts would eventually place him, but during that time he followed closely his own set of rules for phy- sical training. Hoover did his first rowing in 1913 and in the nine years interim before he won the world’s title, he guarded his physical self religious ly, During th’s time he was a woods man, factory worker, soldier on the Mexican border, student and an en- Sineer. When he finally decided up- on a sculling career in 1921, he had every physical advantage and this, according to experts, enabled him to develop his style to perfecti nd triumph the be: the wor over miracle by being Saturday's program includes choice 2:20 trot and pace; 2:80 pace; 4 4 2:35 trot.
