GRAPPLERS ROW OVER
THE 'HEADLOCK HOLD'
By HENRY L FARRELTL,
' United Press Staff Correspondent.
vNew York, . Feb. . ll.-r-Jack Curley's
ban on the "headlock hold" in wrest
ling bouts in New York has divided the
ranks of the grranplers and mat fans,
r Mostly affected by the edict of the
promoter who has become practically
the' controller of the sport in America,
of course, is the heavyweight cham
pion, Ed "Strangler" Lewis, who worked
his way up and won the title by the
"headlock."
-. Lewis claims that the prohibition of
his pet hold will just about ruin him
as the most lucrative matches are
staged in New York and as smaller
promoters in other states are following)
the lead of Curley in outlawing the
hold.
Many fans claim the head-lock is not
more punishing or brutal than the
'.'scissors" of the former champion, Joe
Stecher, or the toe hold.
; Earl Caddock, judged by many fans
the best of all the present crop of mat
men is among the grapplers who side
with Lewis and claim that the hold is
not so dangerous that it should be ruled
outi .
. Lewis Is highly wrought up over
Curley's action claiming that no, com
plaint, was made about the hold until
he won the title.
s Curley bases his action on the
grounds that the public and the press
demanded a ban on the grip after
Lewis had injured several opponents.

THE TRADING SEASON.
. -
The merry trading days have come.
The gayest of the year
When magnates meet, and throw the
bull.
And figure mthods queer! v
'" '' '7
Each magnate tries to rob his pal,
To work some flimflam game
And when the smoke clears up, the
clubs.
Remain about the same!
Each tries to trade his spained stock,
His wheezy, worn-out birds! '
And paints their worth, in . glowing
style, '
With brilliant, dazzling words!
They talk, and talk, and talk, and talk,
An(l then' they talk some more
But when they're done, the players
stay
Just where they were before!
A tough job:
Jack Kearns.
Getting a forfeit out of
LIFE'S KNOCKOUTS.
Coming softly upstaris at 2 A. M. and
then stepping on the cat.
Anybody is liable to make mistakes.
That's why they put rubbers on pen
cils. One of 'the richest things that ever
happened in a ballyard came off one
afternoon in a game - between the Cin
cinnati Reds . ana the Boston Braves.
Ed Roush was on third, and the foxy
Maranville started a conspiracy. The
pitcher was to pitch way wide; Smith,
the Braves' third baseman, was to be
far off the baser naturally, Roush- would
take a big lead; .Maranville was to slip
in behind Roush, Tragesser, who was
catching, was to make a lightning throw
and the unsuspecting nousn wouia
be caught a block. Smith walked off
third; Roush went halfway down the
line; Rudolph pitched wide, and Maran
ville ran over to the base. And then
Tragesser, holding the ball and corru
gating his ptizzled brow, shouted to the
Rabbit: "What was I to do next?"
