By William Abbott. | FTER two hours and five min- utes of terrific wrestling Strangler L&wis threw Jim Londos last night inythe Garden. Both men Gere on the verge of collapse when the final fall came. A vicious headlock caused the downfall of the fast-weakening Greek champion. He tried desperately to escape from the deadly hold, In the other star match Barl Caddock, former world’s cham- pion, needed only fifty-eight minutes to pin the broad shoulders of Salva- dor Chevelier, French title holder, with a combination of head scissors and arm lock. Wrestling continues to cast its spell for many. The Garden was jammed. The principals in the Lewis-Londos the Strangier’s admirers being mostly ocoupants of expensive floor seats, while the galleries were packed with the Greek champion's countrymen. Both sections had continuous occa- sions to"cheer as @ thrill went with every second of the gruelling omtest. | The real marvel of this encounter ‘was visible proof that the ounan ‘body could withstand such tremen- dous strain and punishment. Londos is a worthy successor to the ancient Greek gods whose fame for prodigious feats of strength have lasted through the ages. Londos weighed 193, Lewis 220. Yet it was nothing but brite strength that permitted Londos to last 80 tong with tbe sovenaane Lager By who had frequent escapes from defea! before he administered the victorious hold. ‘Time and again Lewis would apply bis deadly headlock ahd just as often his gswarthy opponent would citer toss him out of the ring or wiggle out of the damaging hold.

This was the Strangler’s favor- ite clutch, but occasionally he work*u in arm and wrist locks. Until near the finish it was give and take, Londos repeatedly throwing Lewis with head and arm locks, But it was the great strength of Londos that surprised the immense crowd. Once the Greck champion toased Lewis out of the roped arena with one arm. Anothor time he broke a dangerous headlock by lifting the Strangler up from tho floor simply by using his ull-like neck. Londos escaped from holds that had crushing power. Both grapplers seldom went to the mat at the outset, Londos hopping nimbly around to escape Lewis's bear-like rushes. After forty minutes of feeling out each other, Lewis gained @ .headlock that Londos quickly slipped away trom. Just before the first hour both men dropped heavily to the mat, Lewis with a headlock, | Londos with a head scissors. The Strangier, like an infurtated cave man, kept striving for his favorite head clutch. Finally he got a flying headlock and pinned his opponent to the mat over three minutes, when Londos eluded danger by a tremen- dous display of strength. The milling became very spirited, with Londos frequently on the of- fensive, The Strangler’s superior ex- perience stood him in good need as the tireless Gresk attacked his head andarms, At the two-hour mark both grapplers showed marks of their bit- ter battling. Few in the huge audi- ence left the Garden, though the hour then was past midnight. Lewis, looking worried, made fran- tic attempts to weaken Londos with his powerful headlocks. Now they were coming in quick succession, and the Greck was staying down longer after each application. Eventually Lewis é¢umped Londos, and putting his great weight in the hold, kept his headlock until Jim's shoulders slowly rolled over flat on the mat, the tell- tale that fhe sensational match had reached its finish. Caddook-Chevalier tussle was replete with scientific wrestling. The Frenchman outweighed the former world’s title holder fully thirty pounds, but Caddock overcame this with greater aggressiveness and mat knowledge, although Chevalier was no novice in the use of holds and tricks, Caddook's offensive methods and his @udden lunges for the legs had his opponent guessing. It was something new for Chevalier. It was near the hour mark that Caddock made one of his panther jumps at Chevalier and before the surprised Frenchman real- ized his danger the former champion slipped on a head scissors and rein- forced this with an arm lock that brought victory. 1,000- Yard Stars In P.O.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 3-— The fact that Babe Ruth busted a ball clear to the.centre field fence at the Southside Park, excited far more talk in Jacksonville last evening than the arrival of Miller Huggins, manager of the Yanks, who reached here after a delay of a day or two in New York owing to a cold. To the populace in- terested in baseball, Babe's big swat meant something; Huggins'’s arrival was oly of interest to his slow gathering clan of baseball players. Yes, Babe was out there yesterday clouting them with the same whole- souled fervor that made him a terrify- ing ogre to the Pélo Grounds epecta- tors last summer, when he headed the periodic Red Sox invasions, The young Yank puts every bit of his heart into each wallop, every ounce of muscle, bone and sinew.

University of Penn Trainer, Who Will Probably Handle America®, Team at Antwerp, Tells Why We Will Win Most Events ime International Athletic Classic, &- shanti By Lawson Robertson Former Otympic Trai o Written for the Ussited Prem.) (Copyright, 1920, by United Prem.) LTHOUGH the date of the 7% Olympic games to be held in ntwerp is still six months off, athletes in every branch of amateur athletics in this country are preparing themselves with a view of “making” the team. The United States should have no diMeulty 1’ winning the majority of the individual events. There is to be no Olympic Teag Championship on account of the war, the Olympic Council has announced. The war has so depleted the athletic strength and athletic training facilities of Europe that we may look forward to a rather easy time of it. The Scandinavians, who re- mained intact during the war, should, however, be counted on to make a formidable showing. and her colonies, ordinarily our big- gest athletic rivals, will most likely have to be contented with third honors to the Swedes, who at least have an organized system. During the lapse between the Stockholm Olympiad and the coming games but very few of the 1912 win- ners will be available for either this or the other countries. Among the most prominent Ameri- cans of these who are expected to compete this year are MaDonadi, first in the shot put; McGrath, winner of the hammer throw; Kelly, the high hurdle winner, and Richards, who took the honors in the running high jump. The available veteran cham- pions of other nations are Taipale of Finland, winner of both discus events; Niklander of the same coun- | try, runner-up in both discus and shot put; Saaristo, also a Finn, who won the javelin throw, and possibly | Goulding the Canadian who won the | 10,000-metre walk. Judging from the resnits of la: year’s championship contests in for- eign countries as compared with our own most recent performances the United States should score first and second places in about exactly the saaié events in which we were suc- cessful in 1912. With a new crop of sprinters that are in no way inferior to the Stock- holm finalists we look forward to such men as Scholz of Missouri, Hay- mond of Utah, Paddock of California, Hayes of Notre Dame and Williams | of Spokane to out-dash any European product. Our middle distance pros- pects are almost as bright when such performers as Hby and Maxam of Pennsylvania, Driscoll of Boston, Shea of Pittsburgh, Mayer of Cornell, Curtiss and Speer of Chicago, Baker and O'Brien of New York are consid- ered. In the 1,500-metre run our prospec: tive representatives, although not by any means as collectively strong as in 1912, arpear to be centred around Jole Ray of Chicago and aided by several second stringers in Devanney of New York, McCosh and Stout of Chicago, Crawford of Lafayette, O'Connell of Harvard, Windnagle of Washington and Connolly of Georgetown. OUR MEN IN LONG DISTANCE EVENTS. The long distance running races at 5,000 and 10,000 metres id cross. country may have as competitors Faller of Dorchester, Mass., American 10-mile champion; Dresser, ex-Cor- nell former intercollegiate champion; Pores, National five-mile champion, and Simmons of Syracuse. It is doubtful if the above are quite as good as our previous entrants in Olympic long distance contests, but perhaps two or three additional men may be developed before the final try-outs are held. Our usual good crop of hurdlers should manage to show the way to most of the foreigners. In Johnson of Michigan, Sylvester of Missouri, Bar- ron of Philadelphia, Smith and Watt of Comeil, of Princeton and Kelly of New York we have a fine field to choose from. The running high.jump should have the following men trying for a place on the team: Richards of Utah, Whalen of Boston, Murphy of Notre Dame, Landon of Yale, Erickson of New York and Larsen of Utah. All of the above have cleared the bar at 6 feet 3 inches or better, which per- formance would almost certainly ex- ceed that of any from abroad, as far as up to date records show, ‘The running broad jump should be well taken care of by Johnson of Michigan and Butler of Dubuque es first place contenders, although this is @ rather uncertain event and up- ‘sets are frequent. ‘The standing jumps will miss the services of the Adams brothers, who Our New Store—B’way @ 51st St. Arnhetn .
