T. Roller with @l head scissors and crotch hold after a spirited contest lasting 40 minutes and 69 seconds. The Iowan showed himself to be a wonderful wrestler, quick as’a flash and very powerful. He had the vet- eran Roller on the defensive the greater part of the time and fastened & number of scissor holds on the old timer, who made a gallant resistance and escaped from many dangerous situations. Roller clamped the Lewis head lock on the Iowan two or three times, but Caddock easily broke it. Finally after ten minutes of fast, ex- citing work Caddock fastened a head scissors on Roller. The latter made & desperate effort to break it and flopped about on the canvas like = fish out of water. Caddock then took a crotch hold and forced Roller to the mat. The defeated man made & a very clever wrestler and a gentle- man. g Roller said he prided himself on being clever, but Cuddock was & ¢lass ! nigher. | It was explained in behalf of Cad- i dock that he would be unable to re- { main after tonight, as he was able to get only a week's furlough from the military officials at Fort Dodge, and still is talking trade biit so far has ‘not been able to do anything. Ruppert Is greatly disappointed that Ball did not make the big trade he proposed yesterday as he felt that it was very fair proposition which might benefit both clubs. Ball, however, says he has seen what has happened to other clubs that have traded star men and that he will “‘hold on to Sislr. He says he is will- Ing to listen to anything that Ruppert has to offer but he must leave Sisler put of the discussion. The trading | ot Lavan to Washington means that | Peckinpaugh will not be included in any other offer that Ruppert. might make.

The war spirit has taken full possession of the big league ranks and each day brings fresh rush to the colors. Another coterie of big league stars responded yesterday to Uncle Sam’s call for duty in the most colossal world’s series of all time. Ray Fisher, the veteran Yankee pitcher, is the latest to be enrolled in baseball's | roll of honor. The big Green Moun- tain boy has enlisted in the army and is now stationed at Fort Slocum. Fisher expects to be assigned to Y. M. C. A. work or to the department of athletic activities, but is ready for whatevér task is put before him. Fisher is eminently qualified for both of these lines. He has put in several | Yyears as athletic director at Middle- bury college, where he also coached the football, baseball, basketball and gym teams. During the last two winters Fisher has taught winter classes at . the Springfield Y. M. C. A. He always has been interested in Y. M. C. A. work. For years he has been famous among big league players as a Y. M. C. A. or- ator. During Fisher’s big league rambles he has had many opportuni- ties to address Y. M. C. A. boys on how clean living helps make a suc- cessful player. First Yankee to Enlist. Fisher is the first of the Yankee regulars to enter the service, though Smallwood, a recruit pitcher, was called in the draft. Strangely enough, Fisher is the oldest player on the team in point of service. He came to New York from Hartford in 1909. He is 30 years old. He was within the draft age, but was subjedt to exemption, as he is married. Ban Johnson announcéd in Chi- cago yesterday that Eddie Collins, the captain and all around star of the ‘White Sox, will not appear in a base- ball "uniform next season. He said Collins had written him that he in- tends to enlist in some branch of the service. FOOTBALL BRINGS $34,000 Camps Grant and Custer to Get $14,- 000 Each From Gridiron Clash.

The net profit from the game was $34,334, and until it is determined whether a war tax will have to be paid only $28,000 will be divided. All expenses of the contsts were covered by receipts from program advertising and sales.
