Do not bend the eais too greatly. It gets to be a habit. wrestlers are prone to misuse of the cars. The results, as shown in the accompanying illustration, arc not sc chic. Several wrestlers have been afflicted with what I jovially call column ears.

This puts them at distinct disadvantage for newspaper purposes. Often a cameraman desires to take a picture of a wrestler that can be placed in a With a bis double windup as a feature attraction the American Legion will sponsor a card of seven boxincr matches at Odd Fellow temple this evening with the gong ringing for the opening bout at 8:30 o'clock. The pairing of the boxers was not completed until yesterday but when announced, it was apparent that a good list had been secured. Tiie double windup will be De- twcen boxers of the 135 pound Tony Capone, Freeport, will Jackie; Derr. Stockton, while Al Eshoo, Chicago, will fight a return match with Joe Romano, Rockford This pair met in the last show conducted by the Legion and made such a great showing that they were signed for the second meeting.

Both the Eshoo-Roman battle and the mill between Capone and Derr arc classified among the big offerings of the show although the other five contests are listed as well worth In fact the promoters claim it is to be one of the best shows ever given by the Legion boys. What promises to be a fast mix is the meeting of Sammy Fisher Rockford flash, and Jim Chicago. These boys weigh Ir it 112 pounds and as each has a Cne record a great battle is anticipated. Both took part in the J'oldcn gloves tourney held in Cni- cago last week and each made a creditable showing. Risko Meets Lowery Chuck Lowery, another golden glove man, who lost in his previous battle here, will be sent against Joe Risko, of Chicago, at 175 pounds The big boys each pack a powerfu' punch and should give the fans some of the hard hitting stuff which they seem to enjoy so well There will be one tilt at 180 pounds the contestants being Nelt Gosikson, Forest Park, and Adam Smith, of Beloit.

The only thing that can ba done in that case is to pin them back.

Ears often are misused by sticking one's head into the crook of Strangler Lewis' arm. Wrestlers have such socks. If the head is compressed hard enough, inevitably the result will be varicose veins. The next thing in importance, I think, is care of the neck. Very few wrestlers ever feel their though there are times when they Then, too, often the back of the neck becomes slightly corrugated, as pictured in the Washinr rilVvHilAfr tirifV.

Having lost to Rockford last week the Pretzel stock dropped somewhat while the Rabs were hoisted accordingly. Captain Don Brever, leading scorer of the year for the Ruppmen, has been on crutches since last Friday's game and there is some doubt about his playing although he may see some action. Bert Baker is still bothered with a sore throat and may not be in the best of condition. However, he is figured to play as is Ibler, Freeport's other guard, who had been suffering from an injured hand. The Orange and Black will just have to pull themselves out of the ditch and play steady, fighting ba.l if they win.

Both Rockford and Harlem are figured about on a par with the local tossers and this means Pretz will have considerable work cut out for themselves if they put over a winner. Local followers of the team feel they will stage sufficient comeback to warrant the faith the fans have shown in the club all season. At Rockford last Friday the Rabs got four or five lay-in shots which does not speak well for the Freeport defensive play. The Orange and Black lads were caught flat-footed several times and this lost them a ball game. Such actions will never bring them to the front in competing in the district games.

Rabs, Harlem Strong- Both and Harlem teams loom as the strongest foes of the Ruppmen in order to win the title the local outfit would have to -beat both of these teams. This is not impossible, if the Freeporters settle their regular game. However, unless they are hitting at a good clip thej stand a chance of dropping either contest. The Rabs and. Harlem are poining their teams for these games and will be tough customers at the best.

This will be a fine chance for the fans to see Harlem in action. The third game will be at 8:30 o'clock Thursday night and will bring together Seward and Orange- vllle. Freeport gets into action at 9:30 o'clock Thursday evening against South Beloit.

If the Pretz win that contest they again Friday night at 8:30 o'clock opposing the winner of the Rockford- Pecatonica game which will unquestionably be Rockford. Rockford's first appearance will be at 10 o'clock Friday morning against Pccatonica. This should prove a setup for the Laudemen. sessions are Thursday evening, Friday Morning, afternoon and I evening, Saturday morning and evening. There has been good advance sale of season tickets but there are still some good ducats remaining.

It is advisable to buy season ducats and be sure of admission for all sessions. Winslow and iockton drew byes in the opening round. The Winslow team, which won the Stephenson county championship last week, plays at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon meeting the winner of the Dakota-Winnebago game. Rockton makes its initial appearance at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon against the winner of the Durand-Harlem contest. There are a total of 14 games listed and with season tickets selling at $1.50 and $2 the fans will certainly be getting there money's worth.

ALTIZER BOBS UP Pike county, Illinois, bordered on the west by the mile-wide Mississippi and midway between Quincy and St. Louis, recently was informed that Dave Altizer had announced his candidacy for sheriff. To some the announcement was just another political advertimesent, but the i mir.ds of many it revived memories I of an American Association bdic- i ball f-tar, the homeliest ana skin- 1 niest man in that AAA circui', There was a day when Aitizei ns colorful as Babe Ruth and as belligerent as Art Shires. American Association records still carry the name of Altizer, a player of the old school, who ralus among the best in the pastime. Dave played shortstop for Minneapolis in 1914 and gobbled 1023 chances, which remains a record today.

He also reigned as a base thief, stealing 65 times in 191U and 68 times two years later He topped A. A. run scoring columns four times. At that, Dave was a bust in the majors. IN DAYS In his prime Altizer furnished thc papers with columns of colorful copy.

He played for the iat-2 "Pongo" Joe Cantillon, who was quite a paint pot in himself. Dave never was known to eage away from a fight. Fact was, ne usually was in it. And the times that he came out second best were lew. Stealing third base, made obsolete in these days of the lively ba'l used to be a popular pastime ui Altizer's day.

Once he rorte into third, spikes flashing wickedly the sun. Harry Clark, just, as rougn and every bit as ready, stood in the way to take the throw. There was B. cloud of dust then flying fists filled the air. Believing Dave naa deliberately tried to cut aim Clark let him have it on his bony jaw.

Altizer was knocked to cue ground and for good measure Clark leanet' over to paste him again. Dave was equal to the occasion, however, and larhed out with both spiked feet, gashing Clark's facp. They used to do-things like that. HE HATED UMPIRES Baseball was fun for Altizer, out there's no telling what enjoynunt he might have got from the gains had there been no umpires. He liked Dave stormed into the Minneapolis clubhouse one afternoon after a rumpus with Umpire Jim Murray.

"It's either Murray or me," he raved to Pongo Joe. "I'll never play in another game umpired by him." "Yeah," was Cantillon's mocking answer, "Well, I'll take Murrav He wins a game for us That was all of that. DID YOU KNOW Frank (Shanty) Hogan, 200 pound Giants' catcher, establisheo a new high jump record in Sai I Antonio's St. Anthony aotfl the other day he put his hand on something; fuzzy right after a lengthy discussion about tarantu- las, those long-legged, fur-covered poisonous spiders. Bob Walsh Yank- rookie, and son of the famous jEd Walsh, is the image of his dad his favorite topic of conversation is the great spitball "Big Ed" used to throw.

Del Bissonette's pulse soared so high after he smashed the Robins' first home run that Coach Otto Miller ordered him of! the field for the day. BOSS McCarthy, to learn for himself whether Gabby Hartnett's arm was okay took second base and requested the Bruin catcher to thiow to him Gabby threw four balls right over the sack the first peg hit McCarthy on the right wrist the second hit him on the left one and the next two pegs whistled by the boss so fast he didn't even touch them.

Coach Speaks Briefly An expression of gratitude was offered by Coach Schrempf, who said members of his teams had clearly demonstrated their loyalty and this, together with the loyal backing of the fans and others interested, had aided materially in bringing honor to Aquin. He related some of the sacrifices niade by the players and paid special tribute to the reserves, who though not winning their letters, had continued practicing each day making their sacrifices that the regular squad might be better through their work. Under the direction of Coach Schrempf Aquin has met with fine success. Starting with ut few experienced men he developed a creditable football team and then came back to make a great showing with his hard wood players.

1'astors Praise Athletes Rev. N. J. Berg, pastor of St. Joseph's church complimented the young men on what they had done for the school and urged a continuation of the same spirit in later years when they leave school and follow their respective callings in the world.

"The spirit manifested by you in your athletic contests is similar to that which will carry you on through the greater struggles, including those on behalf of God and church." He admonished the young people to continue in their faith citing to them the accomplishments toward education and civilization brought about by Mother church. A brief address was given by Rev. Fr. O'Connel, pastor of St. Thomas church.

He extended felicitations to the youths, who had been playing for their school and who were now about to continue onward in the spirit of fair play, which they had developed on the athletic field and which would carry them on to greater heights. Rev. C. F. Conley, pastor of St.

Mary's church, was unable to attend but sent congratulations to the boys and expressing regret that he was unable to be present in person. Rev. Joseph M. Egan, chaplain at St. Vincent's orphanage, spoke relative to the achievements or the athletes, the spirit manifested by the Freeport people in turning out to pay honor to the boys who had done so much for their city, their school and their church.

His admonition was that the spirit of fair, clean, aggressive play brought forth in athletic contests was the same attribute necessary 11 later life when one gets out into the business world. The ail- American quarterback concluded by saying it had been a genuine pleasure for him to attend the gathering. While athletes receive their school letters every child receives certain letters from their parents, they being alphabet, according to Jack Chevigny. His reference to these letters was that the first three stand out most clearly. B.

The first of these stands for ambition, he stated. Ambition to do away with pleasure, to report for work each day at a stated hour, to make other sacrifices which are not easily carried out, to be knocked down and then get up and come back for more.
