NDIANS ARE THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1922. WRESTLING MATCH IS°NO CONTEST” Men Wrestle Three Hours and 22 Minutes Without Either Gaining a Fall. CHICAGO, May 17.—The wrestling contest between Marin Plestina of Chicago and John Pesek of Sheldon, Neb., was stopped by Emil Thiery, referee, at 1.80 this morning after they had wrestled 8 hours and 22 min- utes. Hoth men were exhausted. The Brennan Knocks Out Easy Mark) oe ena haut tate inane and Ratner and Malone Go 15 was declired no contest by Referee Long Rounds to Draw. ‘| aie After two hours of the contest Plestina fell into the crowd and a man hit him on the nose. The assallant immediately was set upon by two others and a half dozen fist fights de- veloped, Order was restored and the men again went on the mat. This was the second mecting of the heavyweights. Thelr first was in New York last winter, when Pesck was barred for life after 47 minutes wrest- ling because of alleged rough tactics. —— ILL BRENNAN knocked out Jim Tracey of Australia in eight rounds at the Garden last night vad Augie Ratner and Jock Malone of St. Paul went fifteen rounds to a draw, Both bouts were much too long. Brennan ought to have ended his in the first or second round and about six would have been plenty of the kind of fighting Ratner and Ma- tone did. The fight fans seemed to have a good idea of what kind of an evening it would be for they stayed | away in large numbers. Brennan held Tracey up for six rounds. Then when he cut loose in the seventh, slamming the poor, de- fenseless string bean to the mat with * left push against the chin he was surprised when the Australian got up t nine and weathered the storm of ts and lefts to the bell. Tracey was befogged and foollsh looking at this stage. He made an effort to con- tinue as if the timekeeper hadn't mercifully saved him, In the eighth Brennan walked right out to finish Tracey. He clubbed him with a couple of back arm digs tm the stomach and as Tracey straightened up with his back against | the ropes Bill took right and left shots |at the Australian's chin.

By Robert Boyd. PITTSBURGH, Pa., May 17.—The world champion Giants arrived here to-day an the third lap of their first Western Invasion. The New York club is expected to take a decided brace tn its playing while sojourn- ing here In the midst of the Smoky City and Bill Gibson's Corsair crew. The players are not satisfied with their showing in St. Louis against the wiinals or their playing against Bill Killefer’s Cubs. In their first four eames played the Giants deserved bet- ter than an even break. They won Une first two games handily and then fell into a slump that cost them the following two games. All through the series the New York players outclassed Branch Rickey's clouting circus. Doak defeated them in & one-hit game and they lost to Jesse Haines by one run in the last fame at St. Louis, If the world’s champions hit the ball the way they did eariier in the season against the Brooklyn Robins, Philadelphia and Boston, they would have romped off with the series of both St. Louis and Chicago. The batters failed to wallop the ball the way they did at home in the last few games and their moundsmen did not piteh the brand of ball they showed earlier, This state of affairs continued in Chicago when they lost two games to Virgil Cheeves with many oppor- tunities to win. The Giants won both games in the Windy City by one run and lost yesterday's gamo by the score of 8 to 2. In St. Louis they also dropped both games by only one run would try a right for the jaw but was “qareful to take the longest course with ‘ up under Tracey's arms and then ver his shoulder blades, There was @ pull to even these punches.

The men WGxed six weeks ugo in Boston, and Malone gut the decision, an unpopu lar one, they say. But for the la Wo rounds last night he might have it again. Ratner resorted in in- etual crowding in these sessions, ping on top of his man, and in the urteenth landed a high right which fered Malone against the ropes and the last round turned the fe of battle sufficiently to give Rat- a draw.

Since the Cardi- nals are conceded to be the logical favorites of the National League and the club that will cause the Giants the most trouble in winning the pennant again this year, an even break away home was not s0 bad, but to fall before the weak attack thought up a few new tricks. and twitling of Bill Killefer's Chi cago Cubs was a shock to supporters In the Cubs’ two victories played smarter baseball than Giants and deserved to win. Thoir stocky Cheeves has always mystified the heavy hitting World's cham they were not in a measure unexpected considering his past effectiveness against the club and his love for work. Fred Toney made his 1922. debut on the mound, and he held the Cubs to eight hits. The Giants failed to bat at critical times and only scored two runs, which was not enough to win for the burly Tennesseean. With Heinle Groh on third for the Hants It was expected that they would develop into a good road club. Hi added strength in defense and offense was supposed to be the potent factor in the club's doing better away from home than they have in the past.

LOUIS, May. 17.—After losing 8{ xout of seven games in Pittsburgh and Cincinnat!, and having a day of rest here yesterday, the Brooklyn Robins open this afternoon a serics of four games with the St, Louis Car- dinals, the most rampant sluggers im the National League. The Cardinals have been late in waking up with their clubs, but they are on their toes at Inst and hope to smash thelr way to the top of the league by main strength. If the Car dinals hit up to their expectations in this serles the Robins’ pitchers are in for a cruel experience. Those pitchers could not baffle the Pirates and Reds, who do not class with the Cardinals in hitting reputation, and Uncle Robbie is worried about the future, The Brooklyn chief said to-day he contemplated using his kid pitchers in this eeries, as the veterans hat failed miserably in Pittsburgh and CincinnatL He may give a chance here to Arthur Decatur, a young right-hander who was once with Louisville. Arthur's work has been confined to finishing games that had already beer lost by pitchers better known anc better paid, and he has got by witt some success. He would not be sent against the ferocious Cardinals {f it were not that all the better known and better paid hurlers have been so easy for the Pirates and Reds that no faith is placed in them for the pres ent, and Robbie is forced to gamble with a rookie. Burleigh Grimes was beaten by the Pirates and then had his arm treated F by Bonesetter Reese. He has been working out steadily every day except yesterday when rain prevented the game here between the Phillies and Cardinals and ealted off practice for some of the Brooklyn pitchers who in- tended to loosen up the soupbones Grimes ta expected to work a game against the Cardinals and another in Chicago.
