Rol- champion of America was last night in the in- ternational Opera House by Alexander international wrestling contest at the Aberg, the international champion, Graeco-Roman style, in 1 hour 4 min- utes and 8 seconds, with an arm and waist lock. The man were evenly matched, and it looked as if would wrestle all night without anv decisive result until Aberg caught the medical man unswares in the seventh period and pinned him to the mat. Roller was the faster from the start, but the greater strength of Aberg was much in his favor as the match progressed. At the beginning of the match Roller used the straight arm method of defense with good effect, and he made Aberg's nose the pricipal point of attack. Other wrestlers in the tournament have done the same thins with the resnlt that his nose is a sore spot for Aberg any trifling with it fails to improve his temper. or In the old days we'll admit that we 1eceived no great thrill when we beard some Seventh Place magnate predicting a sure winner for the en- suing campaign.

The first call for candidates was made by Coach Mulcahy vesterday. The squad will be divided into three classes, freshmen, funior 'Varsity, and prep. In his junior 'Varsity squad If, as reported, variety is the spice of life, Cravath had the spiciest sum- mw.er of his existence this last season. He led his league in home runs, bases on balls, strike-outs and runs scored. The Part That Counts, Alexander failed to return a Mathewsonian world ‘series outburst against the Red Sox, but his record for over 40 National league games is the counting factor. Big Alex's mark of 1.22 earned runs to the game is a National league record, as we recall the figures, al- though Dutch Leonard set a faster pace two seasons ago, when he per- mitter only 1.07 runs to each start.

That question might better have been )eft unasked in the interest of peace und harmony. It had much the same ef- fect as touching a spark to gun- powder, or waving a scarlet flag at an irate bull. “No,” snorted Gilmore. “No, won’t meet Johnson. I don’t want to meet him.
