The Parr Athletic Club seems to have taken over the front page of. the Democrat. If it had not been for the fairness and honesty of the Democrat’s sporting editor in pronouncing the recent wrestling match a “frame-up” we really would expect to see the Democrat defending it.

After two week’s delay, during which time the Parr athletic club pulled off a “framed-up” wrestle, a public offer is made to meet Chris Koepkey and a false claim is made that an acceptance of Koepkey’s challenge had been sent to The Republican previously. _So thoroughly disgusted were the better element of the people here with the "fixed” match between Stewart and Polos that it is probable that Stewurt will have a difficult time to regain the friendship and confidence of the people that he held before the “dumping” of last Saturday night. When a fellow dumps his friends he generally finds that they do not “come back” very readily. Probably Stewart would be a rather poor attraction in another match, for a hundred people here havfc said they would not go to see him wrestle. He had a good thing here and either he or his managers chose to resort to trickery and that is something that the patrons of athletics will not stand for. William Polos, the Greek wrestler, writes from Lafayette that he is anxious for another match here and will meet any man that can he dug up and wager any amount on the match. This looks a good deal like a further admission of his guilt in the “fixed” event with Stewart, which he did not deny in his letter. Many people here would like to see the Greek in a match with another real wrestler. He twisted Stewart around like he was a rag baby. A real match between two real wrestlers weuld bring a big crowd here. Possibly arrangements could be made to get some good Chicago man to meet Polos here. Less stigma attaches to Polos than to Stewart and his retinue of managers. Polos was a stranger, but Stewart was operating among those who were pleased to regard him as a friend. Polos dumped no friends; Stewart’s bunch did. Polos is a wrestler; Stewart is a country tumbler and never threw any one that knew anything about wrest' ling. “Dr. Thomas’ Eclectic Oil is the best remedy for that often fatal disease—croup.
