York Evening orld), by Press Publishing Co, EORGE BOTHNER, former mil- G dleweight champion, has made a life study of wrestling. He competed in hundreds of matches and in recent years refereed many cham- pionship matches. The veteran would rather wrestle under the old rough- and-tumble system, but he admits that the new rules providing for rolling and flying falls should tend to equal- ize competition and put a premium on science. “Wrestling doesn't need the close match-making of boxing,"’ said Both- ner. ‘Boxers often argue about a pound of flesh, but wrestlers can af- ford to give many pounds and It wouldn’t materially change the result. ‘Theres’ too much in the sport for a few pounds to decide the result. “On weight alone Zbyszko would have a grossly unfair advantage over Earl Caddock, but this becomes neu- tralized when Caddock's great science and speed is considered. And it is Caddock’s type that is most benefited by the new rules. What happened when the New York Athletic Commis- sion announced its new rules? Zbyst- ko, Lewis and Stecher quickly said they would do their wrestling in other places. Caddock right away came out of retirement and announced he would seek his former world title. Induce- ments were made to Stecher to meet Caddock in the Garden, but the Ne- braskan decided to remain on his farm. “cs doek has the best chance to Zbyszko. Wrestling now is full of possibiliti A rolling fall can be secured in a flash, Cad- dock’s great variety of holds can bring a fall in fig time, even against such a giant as Zbyszko.”” Bothner, while stamping Zhyszko as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, believes that the weight of yearn must soon show on the ponderous world’s champion. Bothner believesa that Zbyssko has passed the peak of his career, but will go on for a whi like Abe Attell, who held up all op- ponents in the ring for several years, although critics yelled from the house- tops the secret he was slipping. In the opinion of the famous ref- eree, modern wrestlers are consider - ably superior to the old-timers, whose chief bid for fame was a great dis- placement of beef.

Complete harmony, in spite of re- ports to the contrary, prevails between the United States Golf Association and its Western ally, the Western Golf Association. Ample proof of this wes furnished at last Wednesday's meet- ing of the national body, when letters exchanged between the Presidents of the two organizations were read. There is so little dissension and so much in common between the two major golf organizations of the United States that an even closer alliance and understanding is looked for in the fu- ture. A. R. Gates and J. F. Byers, Presidents of the Western and Na- tional Associations, respectively, are doing all in their power to bring their associations into more perfect har- mony. At the recommendatto: war decided increase the number of sub-committ in the U. & G, A.

With work divided in this manner, quicker action will be possible and it will be well for golfers seeking infor- mation to communicate irect with the rman of the commiltee directly in- terested.

By Robert Boyd. VBRANXIETY, following his O knockdown of Joe Benjamin, the lightweight challenger from California, with a solid right cross high up near the left cheekbone in the sixth round of their fifteen-round fight, robbed Johnny Dyndee, the junior lightweight title holder, of a possible knockout of the slim, good looking boy from the coast. The swarthy little india-rubber man of the prize ring floored Joe, who refused to take a count. Benja- min arose, dazed and groggy, but held ou grimly while Dundee hooked and jabbed ineffectively until the bell ended the round, sending the Call- fornian back to his corner like a drunken sailor. | At the end of the fifteenth round of | one of the hardest and most interest- | ing fights witnessed at Madison Square Garden this winter, before a, capacity house, there was no ques- tion as to the winner. Dundee won by a proverbial mile. He lowered | his head, plunged headlong at Be~ jamin, hooking his glove-fisted rig’ and lefts at his opponent who seem: i | to be bewildered by the New York- | er's strange style of fighting. } Benjamin started the fight by | shooting in his long left followed by 4 short inside right to the head.

Dundee jumped out of his corner in the sixth, but his wildness was cost- ly and aided Benjamin to stay the limit. Benjamin seemed to grow better and stronger as the fight progressed, while his older opponent seemed to slow up. They fought h other all over the ring in the thirteenth round With Benjamin having a shad The fourteenth was also Benjamin He staggered Dundee with a right to the jaw.
