Lost To McGrath ling—Threw Schnabel its Froehlichkeit hall shook until windows ratied with the ovation given Jack McGrath on Friday night when he came out victorious in a handicap match with Zybyszko, the Polish and Wuropean champion heavyweight wrestler, who had agreed to thrdw the Worcester-Norwich heavyweight once in 30 minutes, but failed to do so. The hall was filled to mnearly its capacity to see the attractions offered, but the programme had to be shifted at the last minute, as Hjalmar Lundin, the Swedish champion, who was also to wrestle Zbyszko, appeared here with | his® lert hand in bandages, having sprained his wrist. in a match the | night_befe In Lundin's place, Gus Schnabel, the Jersey butcheér boy, who appeared here once before, was secured and the nditions of the match were changed, so that Zbyszko was to be allowed on- |1y half an hour to each opponent to | get the fall he needed to win the match. MecGrath won the toss for choice and sent in Schnabel first against the Polander. The Jersey- man lasted only 4 minutes 2 seconds against the big Pole, going down un- der a front bocy hold. Schnabel might have had the credit of a few more sec- | onds, as Referee Dan Murphy allowed the fall just a shade too soom, but the decision had no effect on the ulti- mate result, as the fall was inevitable at the time. Against Zbyszko, when the Polander had been allowed a ghort rest McGrath | made even a better showing than he [ did in their previous bout and his speed and elusive tactics plainly an- gered the big foreigner, who worked in some of the allowable rough work and punishing moves that go with the grappling game. The crowd kept up a constant tumult of encouragement and advice to Jack, while a good sized following of the Polander’s country- men retaliated with some fireworks in their native tongue. Both men were covered with sweat before the bout had progressed far, and the game went fast at all times. McGrath's best defensive work was seen reaking a double-nelson and in escaping from several dangerous croteh holds, while in the last five min- utes he assumed the aggressive and foreed the big man hard. When time was called for the finish of the match Zbyszko kept on after Jack, so that the wrest had to be pulled apart by the officials, while a big crowd J‘v]nnrn-d on the stage with cheers for o h.

C. team from ‘Westerly, capturing the match after the visitors had got away with the first game, 441 pins to 417. It was the first appearance of the Colts in a match with out of town rollers, but they proved able defenders of their home alleys against the invaders. Harry Blackburn was the steady and dependable man on the winning five, rolling the high three string total of the match, 287, an average of 952-3. but Vincent of the losers beat him out for high single with 103, which he gathered in the first string. The C. B. C. walked off with the first string, 441 to 417, but on the second string the Roderick Colts made the match one- all by winning, 418 to 404. When they came to the scratch for the final string the Colts were going at their best form, which resulted in a 442 total, while the Westerly five fell to 398, and were beaten out in the match total, 1277 to 1243.

Doc White, the Chicago White Sox pitcher, has this to say about the value of brains in baseball: “Baseball has reached the period where it no longer holds any place for the mechanical player, or, in other words, t he non-thinker. Conditions arise whereby nearly every play pulled off is a question of one man outthink ing and outguessing the other fellow,} - especially does this hold true in the work cut out for the pitcher. “No one can expect to achieve suc- cess at pitching who is not a good as well as a quick thinker and a deep student of the bhtsmen whom he op- poses.

He started on the task at 10 o’clock on the morning of November 20. Ten days later the runner showed unmis- takable signs of fatigue, but he plug- ged along to get his second wind. The finish demonstrated his wonder- ful endurance. When he started around the 12 lap course the officials had a hard time keeping the crowd back from the course. Estoppey look- ed as though he would be unable to | hold the fast pace he had marked out | for the final mile, but sheer - pluck kept him on his feet. He has taken his meals and gotten his sleep in snatches betwen miles, one mile having been actually run in each hour since the start. Estoppey’s re- ward is a $1,000 purse and his ex- penses.
