TRACK HONORS GO TO CARL BECK; 200 GRAMMAR SCHOOL LADS IN THURSDAY'S MEET AT ISLAND PARK
Billy Sandow, Best Trainer
of Wrestlers, Gives Vast
Crecit to Dr. Roller
Dr. B. F. poller, the famous phy
leian athlete and former American
champion wrestler, challenged Jess
Wlllard 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
method of self-defense, boxing or
wrestling. Willard did not accept,
and now the whole world ma ac
knowledge that wrestling and not
I boxing is the best means of self
defense."
Who is speaking? Why none other
than the greatest manager and
trainers of wrestlers in this country
to-day—Billy C. Sandow. who step
ped ofT the train here one day last
week just long enough to pat Har
risburg on the back for its welcome
to wrestling and to say a good word
tor this sport which promises to su
persede boxing very rapidly a s a
favorite pastime to watch and to
""sandow, whose picture is printed
here to-dav, is not the Sandow of
some ten 'years ago noted as an
athletic teacher. He started wrest
ling when very young and was in
the game fifteen years, welterweight
champion during four years. Be
coming too heavy, he quit the arena
and became the most noted of train
ers and managers. Speaking of Eu
ropeans, Sandow, who handled a
bunch of them says: "While they
are mad about the sport over there,
the Americans have injected more
science into the game which is now
conspicuous rather than brute
strength, Dr. Holler has done much
to introduce this feature."
Sandow is now exclusively man
ager of "Strangler" Lewis, whom he
took up after proving to the Ameri
can Army officials that wrestling
was the prime exercise for soldiers
to train on; his system being first
put in at Camp Dix. From there he
■was sent to Fort Sill, Oklahoma,
.which was an infantry school of
Irms, for bayonet training.
Sandow is regarded by military
fcnd civilians as largely responsible
for the wholesale revival of wrestling
and he deserves all this credit for
he has been a bulwark for clean pro
motion and arena exhibitions even
before he became a warm friend of
the late Frank Gotch. In the first
launching of revived wrestling at
the New Tork tournaments, interna
tional, several years ago he was the
prime factor. It was through his
efforts that the game was put on so
clean a basis that ladies formed the
habit of patronizing so that a fine
wrestling bout attracted the theater
and restaurant crowds.
"Wrestling he maintains is the
biost strenuous of all sports. It ue
mands the utmost in strength and
endurance and agility. The mat
game is the severest and most ex
haustive form of exercise—yet take
a look over the wrestlers.
"They .'ast longer than any other
gthletes.
"Ball players, tennis players, box
ers, runners and jumpers, and others
Wre usually 'through' as athletes at
the age of thirty-five—most of them
earlier than this. Wrestlers are just
reaching their best at this age. And
most of them are good for at least
ten years more.
"Gotch retired as world's champion
,t the age of forty-one-and then
tmly because he suffered a broken
leg. Who thought Gotch an old
Yet we always speak of Hans
as an antique and he is only
forty-three.
"John Olin, the famous Olympic
wrestling champion, is over forty.
Bo are Madralli and Charley Cutler
about that age.
Mike Yokel, the former middle
weight champion, is nearly forty-five.
"Dr. Roller, who is known ail over
the country, is forty-three.
"Tom Jenkins, the former heavy
weight champion, who now teaches
at West Point, wrestled continously

"BILLY" SANDOW
ling twenty-seven years before he
was taken prisoner by the Russians
at the outbreak of the war. He is
still one of the most formidable men
in the game, and will n■> doubt be
a factor to contend with after he
is released.
"Antone Pierre, the Greek, died
two years ago at the age of sixty
six. He was a good man up to the
year of his death.
"The most remarkable athlete in
the world is probably Farmer Burns,
the former Americon champion.
Burns is fifty-six years old and many
wrestlers are afraid of him to-day.
"Little Fred Becll, who threw Jen
kins fifteen years ago, is as good
to-day as ever. So is Tom Cannon,
the Englishman.
"George Bothner, who held the
lightweight championship for such
a long timi , is a remarkable example
of the good athletics can do. Both
ner is fifty-one years old-but doesn't
lcok even forty. He recently wrest
led a five-hour draw with a husky
>enng rival by till name of Niflock.
'Will Bingham, the jiu-jitsu ex
pert, is forty-seven and never better.
Bingham is a small man, and has
had to struggle with big. strong fel
lows in most of his matches, too.
"Clarence Whistler and Jim Parr
were champions between the age of
forty-five and fifty.
"William Muldoon, the former
American champion, has a big health
farm, and snow white hair, but can
still give the best of them a strug
gle. Muldoon was in his prime over
thirty years ago. He was a high
class fellow, a gentleman, and a great
wrestler.
"While professional wrestlers have
no set rules for training, each adopt
ing a system best fitted for himself,
yet the basis is the same. Each en
deavors to develop his body in a
manner to stand a gruelling match.
Wrestlers have a simple, natural
mode of living and many of the
champion grapplers are farmers or
from the farm. Outdoor life and
careful living. Then. too. wrestling
is one of the most healthful games
in the world."
In case it is arranged here by
Promoter Max Baunman to stage a
mighty grapple on the island base
ball grounds, which is the desire of
many Harrisburgers who love this
splendid robust sport. Sandow has
promised to be here and show some
of the in-fighting as taught to the
army boys.
The preliminaries to-morrow night
at Chestnut Street have an uncom
mon interest which should bring out
a big local crowd. Carl Beck, who
is in pink of condition, will go on
with John Koonz, of Harrisburg, for
fifteen minutes as a starter. Two
Tech High boys, Fair and Karasky,
will follow for ten minutes. The
main bout will get under way at 9
o'clock.

FOOTBALL WAS
REAL ARMY SPORT
Boxing Game Next as Shown
by Federal Canvass; Mass
Play Contributed Largely
Paris, June 2.—Sport followers in
the A. E. F. are given a slant on
the much-argued question as to what
is "the most popular sport" in the
army, in the figures on participa
tion and attendance throughout the
entire A. E. F. for February, just
made public by Elwood S. Brown,
chi?f physical director of the Y. M.
C. A.
These figures reveal football lead
ing boxing, but only by a slight
margin. Counting spectators and
was 1,335,752; and for boxing, 1,310,-
94 4. Considering spectators only,
boxing takes a slight lead, with
1,127,202 as against 1,023,082 for foot
ball.
However, other questions besides
that of "popularity" are known to
have had something to do with these
results. For example, in army cen
ters in the devastated parts of France
difficulties of finding suitable fields
| and amphitheaters have contributed
in some measure to the choice of
sports.
According to Mr. Brown's report,
the total participation by the A. E.
F. in all sorts of sports during Feb
ruary was 6,564,747. Taking the esti
mate of 1,650,000 as the average num
ber of American soldiers in France
in February, it is seen that the big
sport program outlined in orders
from G. H. Q. last December, touch
ed every member of the A. E. F.
four times over. If spectators num
bering 4,891.382 are also Included,
the whole A. E. F. has been touched
seven times over by the sports pro
gram.
Participation in mass games, de
signed especially for the ai/nies, has
had an enormous lot to do with the
piling up of these big totals of ath
letic play and attendance. The total
mass game participation in the First.
Second and Third Armies during Feb
ruary was 3,403,963. This repre
sents participation in a variety of
informal games, such as shuttle re
lays, circle races and many other.
competitions of that sort. The Third
Army led in the total of participants i
and spectators in athletics for the i
month.
The figures given in Mr. Brown's !
rtport are compiled from reports sent j
him by Y. M. C. A. physical directors
in the field. Army orders outlining
the general sports program placed a
Y. M. C. A. athletic leader with every
military unit in France, Luxembourg
and Germany.

UNIVERSAL DESIRE
On the outskirts of Philadelphia is
an admirable stock farm. One day
last summer some poor children were
permitted to go over this farm, and
when their inspection was done to each
of them was given a glass of milk.
The milk was excellent.
"Well, boys, how do you like it?"
the farmer said, when they had drained
their glasses.
"Fine," said one little fellow. Then
after a pause he added, "I wisht our
milkman kept a cow."—Journal of the
