"Strangler" Lewis on Tour
May Give Show Here
Before you get fresh with a re
turned soldier find out if he trained
under Billy C. Sandow, manager and
trainer of Ed. "Strangler" Lewis,
who is now maklqg a tour of the
country and expects to be in Harris
burshortly. Sandow and the "Strang
ler" put wrestling in the army camps
and what they did not show the
doughboys, is not worth talking of.
For rough and tumble-stuff these
experts took thousands of raw sol
diers and made them nifty with the
various throws and jolts, and not
only that but showed them how to
break an enemy's leg, trip him on
the run and a dozen other tricks
which savor much of the Jiu jitsu.
Many of the soldiers found these
stunts useful in closing in on the
demon Hun.
Sandow gives some suggestion!
for the wold-be wrestler which are
worth knowing, for instance:
When you have your opponent
down and are the keep
him there by means of your \lfeight.
This will serve the double purpose
of preventing him from changing
his position.
Go through the motions quickly
and with vim, whether on the defen
sive or offensive.
When you are the under man,
keep on moving constantly, thus not
only preventing your opponent from
securing a hold, but also enabling
you in the change of position to se
cure a good hold on him.
Feature the strangle holds, for an
opponent may be made unconscious
by one of them.
Indulge in rough and unpopular
tactics, such as butting witli the
head. Remember when you meet the
Hun nothing is barred. Any hold or
method of procedure is allowed,
strangle, gouge, kick, poke the fin
gers in his eyes or snap his limbs.
You can kill a man with a flying
mare or a strangle hold.
Be as aggressive as possible, then
your opportunities for success will
be increased.
This system of rough and tumble
wrestling is an unsurpassed means
of selfdefense. Get behind your op
ponent as quickly as possible as it
it is the safest position.
Always watch an opponent's feet
as much as possible. You can throw
your man with your feet as easily as
you can with your hands and arms.
This system of rough and tumble
grappling is not only the most natur
al method of selfdefense in the world
but by far the most effective.
Dr. B. F. Roller, the famous phy
sician-athlete and former American
champion wrestler, challenged Jess
Willard to go to the gymnasium with
a jury of newspaper men and city
officials and settle for once and all
the question of which is the better I
method of selfdefense, boxing or
wrestling.
Willard did not accept the chal
lcne. The whole world must here
after acknowledge that wrestling |
and no boxing is.the best means of |
selfdefense.
Muldoon, one-time champion
wrestler, who trained Sullivan for
his fight with Mitchell, could handle
Sullivan at will. A mixed match was
proposed between Muldoon and
Mitchell, but Mitchell never accept
ed because he wisely listened to the
experts who told him that Muldoon

Farmer Burns had a challenge to

without a taker.
Dr. Roller could whip any fighter
in the world In a rough and tumble
fight, not because he could box, but
simply because he could wrestle.
Under certain conditions you can

he, thinking that you are in earnest,
will resist by exerting his strength
toward his right side. Now your rao :

that Beck and Miller have been re
