BUSY DAY FOR THE WRESTLERS
w
PHILADELPHIA NATIONALS
MAKE AN OFFER FOR FOX
The Philadelphia National* are after Jim
Fox and have notified the local ataoclatlon
that they will par a good bunch of mono/
for the length/ flrat baseman.
However they will not get him—not at
praaent, at least.
The offer made was for immediate de
liver/ of the said flrat tmaeman. However.
President Jo/ner and Manager Smith can't
see It that way and will not let Fox go
until the end of the season.
However, It Is not unlikely that * long
James will lie given a chance at the Mg
league game next year, with the I'lilla-
delphla Nationals. If the Philadelphians do
not succeed lu buying him now they will
undoubtedly draft him, ao It Is Jimmy for
the Nationals next year, no matter what
happens.
Olsen Tames Terrible Greek
In Good Wrestling Match
There la walling In the fruit atands
and sorrow in the' "short-order” res
taurants. Likewise there Is rejoicing
In Little Sweden.
For Demetrlal, the Greek Demon,
with the James J. Corbett pompadour,
met decisive defeat In a wrestling
match Monday night at the hands of
Olsen, the Swede from North Caro
lina.
The overthrow* of the big Greek wns
a hard blow to many of his fellow*
countrymen who had foolishly wager-
•d their money on him and they did
? not even have the consolation of a good
•run for their cash. In the first bout
(the Greek put up a good defensive ex
hibition and managed to keep nt least
one shoulder off the mat for 11 min
utes and 60 seconds. Finally the Ashe
ville man secured a double Nelson and
with It he put his husky opponent to
the mat.
After the usual rest the Greek and
the Sw*ede went for each other again
and this time Olsen made short work
of It. In three minutes he had another
full Nelson and before the spectators
had had a chance to settle do)vn for
a bit of good wrestling the thing was
over.
The best match of the evening was
the one between Christensen and Gill-
more, In which the former was victori
ous In straight falls. He took the first
ith a bar lock In 9 minutes and the
second In H minutes. Glllmore had
the advantage of weight and strength,
but Christensen wns more agile and
squirmed out of a dozen tight corners.
After his victory Christensen chal
lenged the winner of the Demetrlal-
Olsen match for a side bet of $500 to
$1,000.
