ROCHE, BALTIMORE, * A SLIHT EDGE Both He and Collier of Old Daminion Cart Off an Array of Prizes. 1 | | | SON of Maryland and a son of Virginia stepped into thelr speedboats yesterday afternoon on the Tidal Basin and staged a private little duel in’ five races that changed an Otherwise uneventful motor-| boat regatta into & thrill-produc- ing affair as a crowd of several hundred looked on. When the regatta ended, William | Roche, a Baltimore driver, and Pree- man Collier, Westover, Va., speedster, were looking for A couple of wheel-| barrows to haul away several gallons| of oil, & couple of fire extinguishers, & radio and hailf a dozen silver trophies, all of which represented their winnings. The Baltimore boy had slightly the better of the argument, winning three of the races, while Collier won two.| Roche also placed third in another race. the class B outboard, but Collier did not participate in this. Crowd Is Appreciative. ‘The rivalry broke out in the class C outboard race, one of the fastist of the day. Roche won, but only by & whisker, and so well did the crowd receive the race that several extra prises were put up for a re-running of the event. This time Colller came through, with Roche right behind. ‘Then the boys attached class D motors to their “jobs,” and Roche came in first. Resumption of the rivalry followed | in the lree for-all heats. Roche pilotad | his eraft to victory in the first heat, but Collitr came back to take the second. | Then the boys, with a couplé of arm- fuls of prizes aplece, called it quits.

Mr, Monahan was in Montreal indulg- ing in his weakness, which is watching 4 wrestling mateh, This is & weakness which seems to have become epi- demic on both sides of the border. When 1 was pass- ing through Boston Mr. William Delaney informed me tha: the Boston Madison Square Garden, of the chain of Mad- ison Square Gar- dens founded by the Six Hundred Millionaires, had just been over- - crowded for the first time sinee it wAs built by a wrestling match invelving Gue Sonnen- berg, the former Dartmouth lineman. Is séems that Mr. Sonnenberg, on grad- found the pickings as a bond salehman, very slim, so he became a pachyderm. Mf. Sonnenberg has found no reason to regrei his choice. The bond-selling business is overcrowded at present. But (he pachyderm racket is not yet worked There i$ no télling how many foot B lineman will enter it, though, when they get a line on the DI‘M“ 1 Wwas just readng that Wisdek 3 ounger of the Zbyszko ¥, is being sued by his wife, The lady ciaims that Wiadek, who never was A very great wrestler, had & million doil- Jars salted away, all of which was ac- quired in pachydermy, and that his in- come is something like $100.000 n vear. which is more than the best foot bali player could make selling bonds 1f the income of Wiadek Zbyszko is $100.000 a year there is no telling just how much mote the income of Jim Lon- dos might be. Jim Londos is champion for the present.

Mr. Curley gives belts for the title and dresses the acts very nicely. Some time ago when the Six Hundred Millionsires could not codx many eustomers into the Oarden to wateh thé caulifiower exhibits, Mr Curley caused a riot when heé revived the pachydérm spectacle at this Temple of Fistiana But 1 undérstand that the business has grown to such an éstent thar Mr. Cutley hes opposition.

Max is not recognized as heavyweight boxing cham- pion in New York.” The New York State Boxing Commission recognizes only Jack Sharkey, and the Boxing Commission is backed by the Democratic State Com- ' mittee, which makes it practically unani- mous. All of this is very ominous. Ome of these days theie will b a pooling of in- terests by all of the pachyderm im- porters and they may start out to de- cide the heavy- weight wrestling championship o f the vorld. This will mean a series of eliminations that will last for vears, longer per- haps than the elim- inations to decide the Boxing heavy- welght champion- ship. With the pachy- derms in action in all sections of North America and PFu- rope &t one and the same time there is soms chance of an artificial earthquake which may shiit the course of the Gulf Stream or shake the market down to & new low level. I dread the consequences of an_ elimination for the pachyderms. I would sooner have things as they are so that when anybody asks me: “Who 8 wrestling chémpion®” 1 can say truthfully. “I don't remembe:" or "I re- fuse to answer on adviee of counsel.” Chanee for College Men. R. JACK CURLEY tells me that the majority of pachyderms in his herd are college gradua‘es from European universities. The Zbyszko boys, who accumuldted no little cash in the game, are college men. So are many of the other Lithuanians, Poles and Rus- sians, Gus Sonnenberg. of course. is a_col- lege man. from Dartmouth. There have beer other domestic pachyderms who have been graduated from American colleges, notably Big Wayne Munn of the Universitv of Nebraska. Monte Munn, the brother of Wayne, told me afier Wayne Dad been a wrestier for less than two vears, “You can laugh at the wrestling racket all you please. but since he wes graduated my brother has put away $300.000. That is rather difficult to laugh off.” At this time, with conditions as they are, there may be othér college trained wréstlers to follow in their footsteps. If the game continues as it is Mr. Ous Sonnenberg ought to be a millionaire before he is ready to quit the ranks of the pachvderms. Despite appearances, wrestling does not seem fo take as much out of those who indulge in it as the manly art of modified murder. Some wrestlers prac- tically have their ears rubbed off and they bounce to the mat at times with a great clattering. Bu: I never vet heard of a wrestler becoming punch drunk and walking on his heels or cutting out paper dolls. On the whole, the wres- | tling_racket seems to be safer. and. in the long run. mére profitable than the caulifiower industry. Certainly, it is ahead of bond selling.
