WRESTLING GAME
Who Is Real Champion Bothers
Fans Who Watch Claims
Of Three.
I (By Null Adams, INS Staff Corres
pondent,)
Memphis, Tenn.—Whether Jack
j Dempsey or Gene Tunney is chain
!pion of the boxing profess»on is a
(very definitely decided question
'compared to who is the world’s
champion wrestler.
Federal authorities, who have
taken it upon themselves to deter
mine whether there is a real cham
j pion of the wrestling game in view
j of sending two other claimants to
; prison for violating the postal laws
j by advertising themselves as cham
pions, have about decided that
(there has never been a wrestling
; match that wan not framed.
Ed "Strangler" Lewis is now in
' Louisiana, telling everybody from
I the idle cotton pickers to flood re
fugees that he is the real, the one
j and only champion wrestler.
Joe Stetcher, who is in Memphis,
jsays Mr. Lewis is very badly mis
! taken, that he and not Mr. Lewis
j is the world's champion,
j Joe Malqewicz, who is somewhere
; in the U. S. if he ha;, not been call
i ed to Russia to dethrone some new
iking,* is not saying much about it
| but his followers claim both Mr.
| Lewis and Mr. Steelier are in error.
‘ “If there is a real champion, the
ether two will be prosecuted for
(violating the U, S. postal laws if
;they ever advertise or U'restle as
| champions in the state of Louisi
ana," says PhiHip Mecon, U. 8.
district attorney of the Western
Louisiana district.
“If there is no real champion
then all are safe to say they are
champion as they will be only
puffing, the same as an automobile
dealer who says he has the best
auto in the world and there is no j
set way to prove he hasn’t.”
All the district attorneys we are j
able to find agree that Mr. Mecon
is 90 per cent or better right in his
definition of the law on that point.
But how are* you going to tell is
the question that stops all investi
gations.
A man who has followed the
wrestling game will tell you this:
"Lewis lost his title to Wayne
Munn, who was supposed to let
Lewis win the match but double
crossed him. Lewis was thrown irojn
the ring but claimed his title was
not a stake. Besides Mann double
crossed him.”
‘‘Munn lost to Malcedicz in what
jui/iim u/a a f
JJaMU —1±L~L.L12TXSR
;,a$f supposed to be and then sup
possd not to be a championship
battle. This question has never been
decided”
"Joe Steelier beat Muhn and took
the championship that Mun» had \
won from Lewis und did not risk!
against Malcewicz. •
Now. who is champion? Take i
your choice.
There seems to be no Tex Rick
ard in these pa its to settle the mai
ard in these parts to settle thev
ter. There is also no wrestling com
mission, and only a morbid mob of,
fans to lake an interest in the mat- i
{ter.
There could be no tournament to
settle the claims of the three men.
Sporting editors in Memphis agree
cn Etecher as the champion, but
perhaps that is because his match 1
wall fought here.
Big Percent Of
Youngsters Have
Tubercular Sign
Sanatorium.—T h e final re
sults of the children’s tubercu
losis clinics, conducted by the
extension department of the
North Carolina sanatorium,
during the school year, TJ2C-27
showed that 8.1 per rent of all
children examined were tuber
culosis. It was the first time
anything- of the kind bad ever
been attempted in the state.
A total of 7,841 white and colored
children were given the tuberculin
test. Out of this number 1.8C4 react
ed to the test, or 113.79 per cent. Thu
reaction to the test meant that the
children were infected -with the tub
ercle bacilli. but not necessarily
suffering with active tuberculosis
disease. Physical examinations were
given to 1.720 of the number re
acting to the test, and 1,320 of the I
number given physical examina
tions were X-rayed. Of those X
rayed 151 were found to have tuber
culosis, and 304 we? e suspicious
I
I
t
cases.
Pot the present school year chil
dren’s tuberculosis clinics are al
ready scheduled ahead until next j
May. Clinics are planned for Kin- j
ston. Greenville. St. Pauls. Hoke j
cOunty, Wilson. Statesville. Robeson
county and Wake County. Dr. S. E.
Dee, clinic physician? is now con
ducting a clinic among the school
children of Mecklenburg couhty,
and Dr. F. A. Yoder is doing the
same in Forsyth county. These ;
clinics arc bciiig conducted along
the same lines that were found to
be so successful last year.
