MUSSER, President. \j I IL.. i] \ THURSDAY EVENING, , Zbyszko, the present championship { claimant j An old score between these two ; wrestlers when they meet —the one I which resulted at the time of the ; 1916 New York State Tournament, i! when Roller and Draak wrestled to j a two-hour no-decision draw. Since i[that time there are those who claim i that Roller sidestepped the husky j Belgian, but the doctor laughs away , these remarks. He has proved to Harrisburg that he doesn't sidestep any grappler. Tickets for the show were placed on sale yesterday morning at Shenk and Tittle's sporting goods store and Harry's cigar store. They are going fast Dr. Roller reresents all that is fair, wholesome and thrilling In wrestling and he is doing a big thing for athletics by his courageous at i titude against the "wrestling trust." He is very optimistic, however, for as this statement of his indicates: "Has the wrestling game entered a period of decadence?" I should say emphatically No! I believe the wrestling game to-day is more pop ular than ever in the history of this country. There are more people in terested in wrestling, from the stand point both of the competitor and the spectator, than ever before, j Wrestling is unquestionably the , greatest of all sports and will never, I while mankind exists, lose its pop | ularity if the sport is maintained as | such and the people have a chance |to see real wrestling, instead of I mere exhibitions. | It is very unfortunate that there | has never been an organization to | control the wrestling game such as i the commissions and organizations ' which have controlled and regulated I boxing, baseball, football and other I lines of sport in which we are chiefly i interested. ! It is a fact, however, that just now and for the last several years, there have been very Influential if not dominating influences that have so controlled competition that the i sum total of the game, as the public sees it, has been of necessity very much denatured. There has been, nevertheless, a great deal, and in i fact until tho restraining Influence of the war was felt, an ever-lncreas- I ing amount of clean, scientific and j beautiful wrestling in this country, | and I must add that the wrestling game in the United States has at [ traded the greatest men in the sport , from all parts of the world. The fact that six of the poorest matches I ever saw, drew in the neighborhood of one nundred and fifty thousand dollars at Madison • Square Garden last year, is proof positive that the game is not de i caved. The public wants wrestling | and the public will pay fabulous j sums to see good wrestling. But ; when a few managers get together ; with a stable of men they can con trol and agree to give and take and conduct a certain number of exliibi j tions, at the end of which there is (still no winner or loser among them, I agreeing meanwhile to bar from I competition anybody who cannot be I controlled, provided he is good enough to menace their well-laid plans and thereby cut in on money, ;then the public does not get a run | for its money and the game falls ; quickly Into disrepute. That's the ; condition of affairs In certain Amer -1 ican cities to-day. i VALLEE NINE BEATS D., r. AND S. TEAM, 5-0 The Vallee Juniors last night trlm : mod the strong Dive?.

It Is going to take all the efforts of the players and Ihe rooters to put one over on this pesky foe. For Reading has vacuum cleaned the field this season, and is Just cch ing ato take a reef in Tech's sail. It will be a historic clash when Captain "Doggie" Julian, of Reading, and Captain "Nclsy" Hocrr.er, of Tech, toss for in and out. The bat tle is to be waged on the Island; 3 o'clock sharp, and a warning is sent to come early for the crowd will bo huge.

Bell, shortstop; Coach Albright; Fortna pitcher and Emmanuel, sec ond base; right Lingle. Much of the success of the Techni cal High School's baseball team is due to the untiring energies of the three jrenerallssimos pictured cbove. When it was quite late In the season it was decided to have baseball again and once "Birdie" Hinkle was elect ed manager he sent out letters to all parts of the State inviting contests. He arranged a strong schedule and when not busy writing letters he is playing third base for the Maroon nine. Coach Albright is a member of the Tech faculty. He played the several athletic ".ports at Albright College under the famous "Charlie" Kelchner. On the right Is "Bill" Hoerner, as versatile as "Jim"Thorpe. He is captain and outfielders.
