NEWS OF THE DAY IN

Reynolds Is Victor in Straight Falls Over K. C . Wrestler Jack Uses Double Wrist-Lock Effectively—Lewis May Meet Linow. In the main wrestling go at the Broadway Theater last night, Welterweight Jack Reynolds won two falls from Vic Miller, the "hammer-lock king" of Kansas City. Ivan Linow the "Russian Lion” of New York, was too big and powerful for the clever Carl La Due of Montreal, and Linow won both falls. 1 Reynolds met a different type of j wrestler last night from any he has wrestled in this city. Miller is a man of exceptionally stocky build, lie has short legs and arms and his mat position was entirely different from any man who lias wrestled at the Broadyay. His build , made it almost impossible to successfully 1 get a toe hold on him. The toe hold Is one of Reynolds’ favorites and Jack was forced to change his style of attack. This resulted in Reynolds playing for j arm and neck holdp. While Reynolds successfully worked the headlock a num- I her of times the exceptional power ami 1 strength of Miller's . neck caused the i champion to change this style of offense, j There seemed little to choose between i the men In the first part of the match, j but suddenly Reynolds obtained a double wrist-lock on his husky opponent. Miller was forced to the mat and attempted to . DUst out of the painful hold. The oham- | plon put his lio iv across the Kansas Ci’.y i athlete ad locked his other arm with ] a seissoi . Then he exerted all his ; I strength and put the pressure on the double wrist-lock. /There could be but ’ one result. Miller, 'unable to twist out of the hold, could not endure the pain and gave up. Reynolds won the first fall ln 16 minutes and 50 seconds. Credit must be given be Kansas City : wrestler, for *e caina bi;K ’O the mat and fought Reynolds for thirty-nine minutes. It was a splendid exhibition of wrestling, but Reynolds finally oh- • talned the double wrist-lock on his op- 1 ponent agaia and forced Miller to the mat, preventing him from turning out of the hold by securing a scissors on Miller’s head. Twice during that thirtynine minutes did Miller twlr.t out of the double wrist-lock, but the third time Reynolds prevented this by use of the scissor’s hold. The management is making an effort : to get Strangler Lewis to come to In- j dianapolls to meet Ivan Linow. A tele- ; gram was sent Lewis’ manager last ’ night. Linow has been too powerful for 1 the wrestlers who have met him on the local mat. La Due, who lost to tie “Russian Lion” last night, was clever, but there was about 45 pounds difference in weight between the two heavyweight mat men and a wrestler to have a chance with the giant Linow must weigh far over the 200-pound mark. CROWD DISLIKES VERDICT. NEW 7 YORK, Feb. 22—Wladek Zbyszko, younger brother of the world's champion heavyweight wrestler, Tuesday night defeated Joe Stecher of Dodge, Neb., exchampion, in a finish match at Madison Square Garden. A large crowd of spectators, displeased with the result, surged menacingly about the ring. They were dispersed by the police after several minutes of excitement. The first fall went to Zbyszko when Stecher, after taking him to the mat with a flying headlock, fell underneath. In attempting to escape from a half-nelson and body hold, be rolled on his shoulders. Up to a moment before the fall was awarded him, Zbyszko had been on the defense. Steteher took the second fall with an arm and leg hold after fourteen minutes of wrestling. The referee warned Zbyszko against the use of rough tactics. With one fall to the credit of each, the rivals went to the mat for the third fall with the spectators Keyed up to a high pitch. When the referee, after six minutes twenty-five seconds, interfered, announcing that Zbyszko bad won on a rolling fall, the crowd shouted demands that the referee be overruled. In the preliminaries Ed (Strangler) Lewis, ex-heavyweight champion. defeated Clifford Binckley of Columbus. Ohio, with two rolling falls. He won the first in 9 minutes 30 seconds and the second in 28 minutes 30 seconds. Dick Daviscourt and John Olin wrestled to a forty-flve-mlnute draw. Each won a fall, Daviscourt taking the first with a headlock in 22 minutes and Olin the second, a rolling fall in 15 minutes 30 seconds.

JIMMY FINLEY. Local fans are promised some real action at Tomlinson Hall Monday night in the all-star boxing program arranged by the Progress Athletic Club. In addition to the main go between Johnny Griffiths and Anthony Downey lots of thrills are assured in the semi-final when Jack Darcy of Cincinnati meets Jimmy Kinley of Louisville over the ten-round route. These lightweights know their stuff and they are expected to put up a slamhag match. Finley appeared on a Ft. Harrison card some time ago and made a hit with the ringsiders by his good all-round work. He fo*ught Bud Terrill in Terre Haute Monday night and, though Perrill was awarded the decision on points, Terre Haute papers criticised Perrill for taking “home town advantage'’ by using rough tactics. In meeting Darcy here. Finley will be clashing with a worthy foe ana will be forced to his best stock trade.

TINGLING 1 ? A with the PUGS

THREE ELIGIBLE FOR MAY 29 DATE At a meeting of the city boxing commission Tuesday night the list of applicants for the May 29 homing permit here was cut to three after a long discussion engaged in by the commissioners and promoters. The commission will meet later to make final decision. Commissioners Winn, Tyndall and Moroney spoke in length on the importance of the day-be-fore-the Speedway race permit and it was their opinion that the work required in promoting an exhibition that the May 29 permit called for was too great for non-professioual men and organizations to attempt. The three clubs still eligible to obtain the grant are the Indianapolis Athletic Association (operating the Indianapolis baseball club), the Progress Athletic Club (represented by Tom Dillon) and the Greater Indianapolis Athletic Club (represented by Sam Murbar-gi-r). The promoters representing these organizations all are experienced and familiar with handling pro-sport events snd were thought better able to cope with the many problems that will come up in staging an important fistic affair. There were about twelve applications filed for the May 29 permit and people familiar with that Speedway boxing show expressed the opinion that the promoters who were eliminated last night will be shaking hands with themselves when thev realize the amount, of “grief tnat probably will be attached to the coming event in the way of finances, weather and crowds. , Both the Indianapolis Athletic (tub and the Progress Athletic Club mentioned Benny Leonard, lightweight champion, as their probable main attraction, while the Greater Indianapolis Club men tloned Jack Britton, welterweight champion. However, when the terms of these champs are sought, it is likely the promoters will get a shock. ...... „ One fan suggested last night that Gene Tunney, light heavy champ, and Chuck Wiggins be considered. Tunney is a popular favorite and not so high-priced ns Leonard and Britton, while \\ Iggins is a home bov and well backed by a large following. \Viggins might not defeat Tunney. but it Is the opinion in local ring circles that he would give Gene plenty of opposition. In a bout held ln the Ecast before Tunney became champion. Martin Burke barelv lost on points to Gene, and later Wiggins defeated Burke. WHITE VS. LEONARD. NEW Y'ORK.

Changes Likely in Indiana Squad Before Big Battle BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Feb. 22.—Rumors of a shakeup in the personnel of the crimson quintette, which will face the strong Purdue aggregation at Lafayette Saturday night were heard in Men's Gymnasium yesterday, following the return of the squad from its disastrous Northern Invasion. Coach George Lewis has announced secret practice for the remainder of the week. Crowe, who has starred in several games on the local court, is considered a possibility at forward with Bahr, who played a consistently good game at Northwestern and Michigan. "Our forwards made but three field goals during the entire trip,” said the coach, and he indicated that practice would take the order of a severe drill in goal shooting tactics. All players returned from the journey in good shape except Haines, who is j suffering from the effects of a ‘‘chariey j horse.’ PURDUE IN HARD PRACTICE. LAFAYETTE, lud„ Feb. 22.—The Purdue varsity basket-ball team mixed with the seconds yesterday afternoon in a spirited scrimmage session and met such opposition that it was unable to do any better than hold Its own. The passing of the seconds baffled the regulars at times and it resulted in several close shots being made by them. Gullion was able to get in his usual quota of baskets, however. < <>ii<dderable interest Is developing over the coming game with Indiana Saturday night. The Boilermakers will have to win this game to be in the running for the Conference championship. The largest crowd of the season Is expected as Indiana has sent word that a big crowd of rooters will accompany the team. Rumors that Charles Bachman, exfootball star at Notre Dame and now head coach at Kansas State Agricultural College, was being considered for the same position at Purdue, were confirmed by the athletic department.

LEADERS WIN AMATEUR FINAL Winners Make Effective Comeback in Second Period to Win Sectional. The “Y” Leaders had their hands foil last night ln taking the FairbanksMorse five into camp ln the final game of the local amateur sectional tourney, 22 to 47. The Fairbanks quint put up a corking good scrap from start to finish bnd had the better of the argument through most of tbe first half. Barnnm’s foul shooting coupled with an occasional field goal kept the "I” team In the running during the first half. Towards the end of the half the Leaders crept up and tied the score at 10-all and just ss the gun barked Barnum caged a pretly under-the-goal shot for a two-point lead. The Leaders kept their lead for the remainder of the game and when Clark, the F. M.’s star, was ejected from the game on personal fouls, the Leaders Increased their lead to a comfortable margin a“.d stayed there for the remainder ot the game. The Leaders seemed to hit their stride a little better in the second period. Coach Morrison of the Leaders made repeated substitutions in an effort to fill up a weak spot ln the offense. Naney and Barnum performed in great style at forwards. Naney’s dribbling and passing being his greatest asset. Starbuck also performed well at center. Raber was a stone wall at back guard and helped materially in the offense. Clark end Reed performed well for the losers. Clark seemed unable to get going in his usual style. He was ejected on personals in the second half ln favor of Cotton. Clawson’s basket shooting helped considerably In keeping the k. M.s going. In the curtain raiser the Bi-Fo-Ke won a scrappy overtime game from the South Side Turners, 16 to 12.
