Draak Succumbs to Lewis’ Headlock; Athlelic Club Trims Auburn Quinlei
-
Draak Puts Up Plucky Defenss,
-
but Can Not Evade Famous
y
Grip of Southerner.
TRANGLER LEWIS, with his
viselike head lock, wore down
the plucky and dogged defense
that Tommy Draak offered last night
at the Auditorium, and won over the
Belgiah in straight falls. The match
was marked IB' fast and extremely
g:|eva work, raak, big and power
ful, withstood all efforts of Lewis ex
cépt the head lock. = Although he
wriggled loose eight tites from the
grip during the first clash, the appli
cation of it sapped the Belgian's
strength and he yielded after 30 min
utes of wrestling.
The second fall came when the
mighty Kentuckian snared Draak
again with his original hold and pin
ned his shouiders to the mat. The
time was 17 minutes and 35 seconds.
It was a superb spedtacle to see the
two giants wrestling. From the out
set Draak proved agfiresslve and bold.
ITe carried the battle to lewis, and
succeaded ih thwarting the offorts of
the Southerner to apply his famous
hold.. The mahnet inh which the men
anticipated the holds that were
sought impressed the spectators that
they were sesihg grapplers, grizzled
‘n experience, By the deft use of
thelr legs and arms they blocke% the
toe holds, body scissors and Jther
srips that their predecessors had ap
lied.
While Draak’s courage was not bro
ten by the pontinuval app'ication of
ne hoid that Lewis worked in a mas
terful way, he wis weakened consid
crakiy. The originator »f the famous
head lock was so active and agille
that it seemed the Belgian could not
evade it
Thars was one time hefore the sec
ond fdll that Draak seemed to have an
nviting chance to secure a fall. After
i headpin, Lewis wagk caught in a
touble bridge by the Belgiaa, and it
seemed that nothing remained for
s opponent, to do éxcept force, by
tlue pressure. his brogd shoulders to
the mat, With the strength of a
wipermatl, Lewis avose, lifting his op
ponent with him. The spectators
ave a sty cheer for the Strangler.
Drask was not without His support
ers. The pluck that he exhibited by
coming back for more of the head
ck, after he had fe't its disenchant
ing power, steadily won admirers for
him, and they pulled for him against
l.ewis, Three times during the exhi
bition, he sought to holst Léwis with
his own petard by turning on the head
lock. He was inexpert at applying
it, for the smiling Kentuckian Broke
it easilv and proceed to give a real
how of the possibilities of the vlse-l
like grip ‘
After Draak had succumbed the
second tima, he was surrounded by
admirers and congratulated for his‘
bold stand.
“If TLewlis will bar the head lock, I
can throw him any time,” the RF’l-‘
gian declared, ¢

to siteh a point that he can snap it

tional feature to it just before the
second fall, for he clutched Draak’s
head in a standing position. flipped |
lum over his shoulder and then fotrced
his shoulders to the mat. The Bel
¢ian, by spinning upon his head and
squirming about like a contortionist,
troke it repratrdly before Lewis
scored the first fall.
Draak's prediction that he woulid
evade the deadly grip seemed to be
baged upon firm convietion, as he
chook it off eleht times while thé two
nrestlers were 4oeking a first fall
The first throe timmes the Strangler
worked it, Dradk returneds with al
most as much strength. After the
two had gone 28 minutes, lLewis
snaprned his right arm around the

the mat. With a stern, deterthined
“orce. he “turned on the Jjulce.” It

OTTO JORDAN.
TTO JORDAN is knitting. ;
And I knew him when he was.
all right,
In the piping times of peace—when
the din of the Busy Berthas was ab
sent and it Wwas& not necessary to
camotiflage--It {s recorded that ‘a
sturdy ‘Atlanta captain, yclept Otto
Jordan, had a little misunderstanding
on the diamond at New Orleans. His
offense was that of pocketing a rub
ber ball, which the wily Charley
Frank had put into play in the hinth
inning. When it seemed that noth
ing less than the fire department
could put the Pelicans out, Otto
calmly grabbed thé sphere, with the
Indian rubber center and refused to
deliver it up.
The umpire ordersd him from the
fleld. He refused to budge.
One bluecodt marched upon the
fleld, and, by virtue of a resplendent‘
badge and a sw:lling bosom that sup- j
ported a navy blue uniform, insisted
that he depart hence, or somewhers‘
clgse. Persuasion failing, he tried a
bit of Graeco-Roman. Nothing doing. |
To his aid came another and finally a
third policeman. Out there on the:
fleld the performers gave a catch-as- |
catch-can match, varied with a little
jiu-jitsu and knock-down-and-drag
out. After a lively melee, Otto was
placed In the Black Maridh and rid
den to the New Orleans Bastile, "
This w#s merely one incident to
show that Otto once was all right.
He was convoyed from the field on;
other occaslons, and, while he was
ordinarily an aggressive, conscien
tious plaver, Rudderham, Pfenningeri
end other umplres can testify he's a
clared a no-contest by the ferferec,
Billy Sandow.
" Mr. Sandow, 4s manager of Ed Lew
is, informed the spectators that all
matcehes would bé cotiducted upom-a
high plane and that no betting would
be tolerated. He stated that, if prop
er arrangements could be made, Dr.
B. F. Rolier, the celebrated physi
cian-wrestler, would come to Atlanta
to meet lewis at an early date.
Wrestling was ushered into Atlanta
in avery impressive manner, and the
spectators were pleased with the
show.

right pert young fellow when riled up.
But Otto is knitting.
If you don't believe it take a peep
at this suprcme effort of purling and
knitting. Furthermore, he did it
without dropping a stitch and is now
knitting for the soldiers.
“Tes, I'm doing my bit"” Otto
chuckled, while he sat placidly and
occupied himself finishing a row dur
ing the lunch hour at the Ford plant.
“I am making a sweater for Roscoe
Cox—private at Camp Gordon. You
know this is great—knitting. It is
the most interesting stuff 1 ever did,
exeept when I tried ‘hitting 'etn where
they ain’ti ™ :
It 18 a new accompliShment with
Otto. The o!d fans will probably tell
you that Jordan was the greatest
fielding second- baseman Atlanta ever
had and that he was the best in the
world—barring none—at touching the
runner, when he was all right. As to
kig fall and descent, it seems that
Otto desert-d Uncle Henry Ford for a
few days Christmas and went to
Pittsburg. There he called upon Miss
Margaret Sankey. Her father Jaid
aside his ball of yarn and purling in
struments long enough to welcome
him. “Excuse me if 1 contlhue my
knitting,” Mr. Sankey said, as he re
sumed the chopstick motion, “I am
anxious to finish this. It's the fourth
that 1 have knitted for the soldiers.”
This gave Otto the big idea. Misgs
Margaret Sankey showed him how.
The first night he mastered plain
knitting, and it was easy to learn the
“knit_two and purl two.” His first
sweater was completed early in Jan
uary, and he's proud enough of it to
wear it. Now he’s on his second.
Isn't Otto getting to be the playful
one, though? Fooling with Fords and
knitting.

his jaw with a direct punch, the keen
brain of Gans mapped out a plan that
won him the fight via the knockout
route, And this {s how he dlg i 6:
Gans, noting that h's rival kept his
left hand close to the point of his
chin, drew back and then aimed a
mighty rirht for the last hand of the
othet man. The blow struck the tar
get and the impact drove the lefrt
hand of Gane’ foeman againet his own
chin so hard that he went down--and
completely out.
In 1900, while tratning for my first
bout with Jim Jeffries, I had head
quarters in Ashbuty Park, . J. Gans
and Al Herford, his manager. eame
down one day so that Joe could watch
me In my workout. I had develoned
an uppercut which I used only at cer
tain times In coming out of a clinch.
My opponent always would have to he
in a certain position before I would
use it. It was one of my favorite ring
tricks. Yet very few fighters evet
had noticed me usihe it and none had
imitated it up to that time,
Tha gymnasium In which I was
working was 4 small one and the sec
ond time I used the uppereut I heard
a chueltle. Turning around I saw it
was Joe (ans who, great student that
he was, had baen watching my every
move and had seen the value of #
trick of that kind at such a time in
fighting. i
A few weeks later, Gans met Prank
Erne In Coney Island. 1 sat at the
ringside for that contest and to my
surprige gaw Joe Gang using the
fdentical uppercut whieh had escaped
the observation of many other men—
but not the observation of Joe Gans.
He was a master boxer at the time,
one of the cievgrest and most skillful
in the game, He knew Imore ring
tricks than any other voangster. But
Joe always figured that he could learn
more, He felt that the uppercut was
a valtfib'e assct and after he had seen
me use it, 1 learned later that he had
spent many hours during his training
trylng it on his sparring partners,
working patiently with {t until he had
perfected it.
So it was all through the ring ca
réer of the great n-gro. He was ever
on the lpokout for Bomething; ever
watchful, ever learning. lls it any
wonder that he became the greatest
warrior of his weight and time?
