With the idea of encouraging inter- national competition the Amateur Athletic Union has invited A. Boh- lin and J. Zanders, two of Sweden's best runners to ccmpete in the na- tional senior indoor A. A. U. cham- pionship games in New York city on March 17. George F. Pawling of Philadelphia, who has sailed on the steamer Kristianlafjord for Stockholm carried the invitation of the A. A. U. officials to the Swedish Athletic asso- clation together with an offer to de- fray expenses. Bohlin_and Zanders are star per- formers whose records compare favor- ably with those of the best Amateur runners in the wosld. Bahlin as a rule confines his running to the 400 and 800 meter races which correspond with the American quarter and half mile events. Zanders, while he some- times competes at these distances is better in the longer contests ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 meters. Both of these athletes were named by Coach Ernie Hjertbers as probable members -of the Swedish track and field team, which it was proposed to send to this country last summer. They have been developed since the Olympic games held at Stockholm in 1912 and have equalled or bettered the Inferna- tional Amateur Athletic Federation records several times. The members of the American five man track team who competed in Scandinavia last autumn were great- ly impressed by the running of the two Swedish amateurs. Bohlin defeated Ted Meredith five times at distances ranging from 300 to 1,000 meters, but the former University of Pennsylvania star turned the tables upon Bohlin In the 400 meter races. Zanders also defeated Meredith in a 1,000 meter race, the distance too great for the American. Bohlin_and Zander divid- d honors in the 800 and 1,500 meter races at the Swedish championships held In August and Zanders won first place in the 1,500 and 5,000 meter races and the 3,000 meter steeplechase at the Scandinavian championships, while Eohlin was second in the 400 and fist in the 400 races against the best runners. of Norway, Denmark and Sweden.

He hoped by adopting these tactics to tire Stecher. To battle on the defensive was just about the best policy that Charlie could adopt. By so doing he had an outside chance of making the contest a long one, but that was his only chance, for in the end the farmer would have beaten him, regardless of the methods he used. Youth Favors Stecher. But if Cutler had any idea that roughing it on defence would tire his opponent and favor his own chances he had another guess comins, for Stecher is powerful, has stamina and, of greater advantage than all, he has youth. As a matter of fact, to pro- iong the contest would have tired the Chicago man more than his opponent. ‘With his famous scissors, formed by @ pair of powerful legs, Stecher has carved his name in the hall of wrest- ling fame. It is a safe and sane state- ment to say that the Nebraskan can SATURDAY'S MARKET. Recoveries of One to Three Points Were Made During Session. New York Jan. 6—Except for its reiatively strong undertone, today’s Gull and narrow stock market present- ed no feature of especial interest. Re- cuveries of one to three points from lowest _levels, some of vhich were later forfeited, resulted al- most wholly from the closing of trad- ers’ contracts. The attendance of members of the fioor was a characteristic of the past ELcliday period and public interest was again lacking. U. S. Steel and the usual specialties comprising the equipment and munitions groups con- tributed more than half to the insig- nificant total. Metals also were sub- stantially better with shippings, but rails were apathetic. Sales amounted to_385,000 shares. Foreign affairs evoked little interest aside from the announcement of an- cther lzrge gold importation for ac- ccunt of the British government. Re- current rumors of the cancellation of war orders were authoritatively denied. Fxchange on London was firm, but rates on Paris, Berlin and Rome abated slightly. Actual reserves of local- clearing house banks for the first week of the new year expanded by over $23,000,000, increasing total excess reserves to above $140,000,000, while reserves in vaults of banks increased almost $40,- 000,000 Firmness ruled in_bonds, with an active demand for Southern Railway general fours at a full point gain. In- ternational bonds also denoted a bet- ter inquiry. Total sales, par value, acgregated $3,850.000. Government bonds were slightly more active during the week, United States threes advancing a small frac- tion, while Panama threes yielded a roint. STOCKS m Sales. 200 Ads Rumiey 100 Adv.

It also can be said without much fear of the necessity of contrmdiction that Stecher is a one-hold wrestler, and that ‘grip is the scissors.

The Nebras- kan has perfected it to an extent that he can clamp it on from almost any position. In fact, he might be nearly on his own shouiders and still put it on and defeat his 'opponent. Stecher simply swings his long legs around.| the body of his foe, locks his ankles together, brings an inward pressure on his powerful knees, and if his op- ponent does not cry for help the vie- €im is quickly rolled over on his back in defeat. Stecher makes his hold ef- fective by forcing his knees into the midsection of an opponent, just below the lower and short ribs. As an ac- cessory he applies a half neison. The effect of this scissors is most painful. Cutler three days after his match with Stecher was still suffering from the scissors attack. It is worth mentioning here that Stecher applied the grip only twice. The first time Cutler rolled over on his back. The second time - Stecher applied” it Cut- ler’s face pointed to the canvas, and in the viselike grip Charlie could not turn his shoulders to the mat. He simply was forced to give up and con- gede ‘the fall to end his own suffer- 8. Cutler Admits Soreness. Three days after the match Cutler had this say about Stecher and his scissors: I have the sorest ribs in the world. That fellow crushed those knees into my sides so hard I thought something would crack. And it makes a fellow sick, tog. He can beat anybody in the ‘world.” There are many people talking about a match between Stecher and Gotch. Since the Humboldt (lowa) farmer broke his ankle and announced his retirement from the game there is no chance of the match ever taking place. However, this does not pre- vent the fans from trying to compare the two. Many believe that Gotch would beat the Nebraskan. The only way this question could be answered would be a meeting of the pair, but it is pretty certain that if Stecher could get his scissors on Gotch he would de- feat him. It would be up to Gotch to prevent Joe from locking his legs around him. On the other hand, Gotch has that famous old toe hold to fall back on. If he got that on Stecher it would mean defeat for the Nebraskan. WILL TRY TO REVIVE THE BOXING GAME. Arlington Athletic Club Have Received License to Stage Carnivals.
