Wrestling World
*JO£ 5^
New York. Jan. 21. The eyes of
the wrestling world are now centered
on Joe Stecker, the "Nebraska Farm
er Lad," who has come east in an
attempt to substantiate his claim<4 to
the catch-as-catch-can wrestling
championship.
A match has already been arranged
between Stecher and Wladek Zbyszko,
the star of the International Wrestling
Tournament now in progress here.
Other matches are to be arranged
later. ,
Although stecher comes here in the
wake of a great reputation, little first
hand information is obtainable about
him even from men who have opposed
him on the canvass mat.

Formal Transfer of Cubs;
to Withdraw Court Suit
Special to the Telegraph
Chicago, Jan. 21. Formal transfer
of the Chicago National League Base
ball Club from Charles P. Taft, of
Cincinnati, to Charles H. Weegliman,
of Chicago, was completed yesterday
with the presentation of a certified
check for $500,000, the purchase price
i by Mr. Weeghman to Charles Schmal
stig, personal representative of Mr.
Taft.
The transfer was made in the pres
ence of President Tener, of the Na
tional League; Harry Ackerland, a
stockholder of the Chicago Nationals;
William Walker and Adolph Seh'uett
ler, stockholders in the Chicago Fed
erals, and Charles Thomas, last sea
son's president of the Chicago Na
tionals.
With the transfer of Mr. Taft's
stock to Mr. Weeghman the latter be
came the sixth man to control the
corporation. Albert C. Spalding or
ganized the club in 1876.
The transfer was one of the last
acts designed to create baseball peace
following the agreement reached re
cently at Cincinnati between the Fed
eral League and organized baseball
interests. Only the withdrawal of the
injunction suit, brought by the Federal
League, pending before Federal Dis
trict Judge K. M. Landls, remains to
end the controversy.

TECH ATHLETICS
ARE PROFITABLE
Turn Over Nice Cash Balance
to General Fund; Foot
ball Pays Best
Football at the Technical High
school netted the Athletic Association
$453.33 for the season of 1915. The
money will be added to the school's
general fund and will be held as a
nucleus for the probable purchase of
an athletic field at some future date.
The Thanksgiving game with Cen
tral gave to each school $1,307.27,
and was the big feature in the ac
count audited by T. J. S. Kishpaugh,
Ralph Evans and Professor E. S.
Wolf. Other games that added to the
school's treasury were the Greens
burg and Steelton Hjigh games played
on the island. All other teams that
appeared in the schedule were played
at a financial loss.
The entire receipts for the season
show that guarantees given to the
team when away, together with the
athletic association fees, and receipts
at the gate totalled over $2,500, the
largest sum in the school's history.
Expenditures were also large.
Where Costs Increased
The team was better equipped than
ever before, and much of this para
phernalia is still in good condition,
so that next year's expenses along this
line will be at a minimum. Increased
cost of rental for the island, an in
creased cost of materials, and the sal
ary of a trainer, the first in the
school's history, helped to eat up
much of what was a profit in other
years.
The school's athletic association
treasury is in excellent financial con
dition, and some of the funds will be
used to support baseball and track
which are always run at a loss because
of the fact that no admission is charg
ed to sec either sport, because of their
being played on the playgrounds at the
island. Wrestling at basketball are
self-supporting at Tech, and the
moneys turned in from the football
receipts is used in part to support
track and baseball.
Joe Fogerty in Line-up
of Greystock Leaguers
Harrisburg basketball patrons will
see Joe Fogerty to-morrow night. He
will be in the line-up of the Greystock
team. Trenton released Fogerty on
Wednesday.
The Harrisburg Independents are
making every effort to be in the best
of shape for the game to-morrow
night. The locals remember the deci
sive defeat handed them by Greystock
i early in the season and are determin-
I ed to redeem themselves for the show
ing in that game. At the present
time the Harrisburg tossers are play
ing a more consistent game than on
I Greystock's first appearance here.
! Preparations will be made Satur
day to take care of a large crowd, for
the Greystock team is popular with
Harrisburg fans. One reason for this
is that they play just as hard in their
exhibition games as in their league
games, and fans are always sure of
seeing a first-class exhibition of the
indoor game.

AUTOMATIC RAKING
MACHINE FOR LAWNS
Everything from small leaves to
newspapers, may be picked up from
the lawn rapidly by means of a self
cleaning lawn rake that has just been
invented and patented, says the Popu
lar Mechanics Magazine in an illus
trated article. This machine looks
much like a lawn mower. The teeth
extend from the front to the rear and
are mounted in a sloping position so
that their curved forward ends touch
the ground. As the material is picked
up it is drawn backward along the
teeth and deposited in a carrier at the
rear by an endless belt which runs on
rollers mounted at the front and rear
of the machine. The rear roller, and
through it the belt, is operated by a
pinion worked by one of the wheels.

COMBINATION BOAT IS MADE
FOK ICE AM) WATER ISK
In order to navigate Lake Pend
Orielle during the winter months when
its upper part is frozen and the south
ern half open, an Idaho boat builder
has constructed a craft which is de
signed for both water and ice, says the
Popular Mechanics in an illustrated ar
ticle. It is driven by an aerial pro
peller and is capable of gliding rapidly
over smooth ice, taking to open water
|at full speed and then running back
| onto the ice when making the return
trip to the northern part of the lake.
The boat is 14 ft. in length and ap
proximately 4 ft. wide. Its bottom is
shaped like an inverted V. quite similar
to that of the average hydroplane,
! which allows it to ride high in the
water. At its stern are two skatelike
runners and at the bow a single one
to which a control lever is attached
for guiding the craft when it is used
as an ice boat.
