Draak Succumbs to Lewis’ Headlock;

Draak Puts Up Plucky Defense,
but Can Not Evade Famous
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
Belgian in straight falls. The match
was marked by fast and extremely
clever work. Draak, big and power
ful, withstood all efforts of Lewis ex
cept the head lock. Although he
wriggled loose eight times 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 hen the
mighty Kentuckian unnrx Draak
egain with his original hold and pin
red his shoulders to the mat. The
time was 17 minutes and 35 seconds.
1t was a superb spectacle to see the
two giants wrestling. From the out
set Draak proved aggressive and bold.
lie carried the "battle to IL.ewls, and
succeeded In thwarting the efforts of
the Southerner to apply his famous
hiold. The manner in which the men
anticipated the holds that were
sought impressed the spectators that
they were seeing grapplers, grizzled
In experience. By the deft use of
their legs and arms they blocked the
toe holds, body scissors and other
grips that their predecessors had ap
plied.
While Draak’'s courage was not bro
kKen by the continual application of
the hold that Lewis worked in a mas
terful way, he was weakened consid
crabiy. The originator of the famous
head lock was so active and agiie
that it seemed the Belgian could not
evade it.
There was one time hefore the sec
ond fall that Draak seemed to have an
inviting chance to secure a fall. After
a headpin, Lewigs was caught in a
doubla bridge by the Belgiaa, and it
seemed that nothing remained for
his opponent to do excdept force, by
due pressure. his broad shoulders to
the mat With the strength of a
superman, Lewis arose, lifting his op
ponent with him. The spectators
gave a lusty cheer for the Strangler.
Draak was-not without his support
ers, The pluck that he exhibited by
coming baek for more of the head
lock; after he had fe!t its disenchant
ing power, steadily won admirers for
him, and they pulled for him against
lLewis. Three times duting the exhi
hition. he sought to hoist Lewis with
his own petard by turning on the head
lock He was inexpert at applying
it, for the smiling Kentuckian broke
it easily and proceed to give a real
show of the possibilities of the vise
ike grip.
After Draak had isuccumbed the
second time, he was surrounded by
admirers and congratulated for his
bold stand.’
“If Lewis will bar thé head lock, I
can throw him any time,” the Bel
glan declared. ;
Head Lock Is Innovation. :
Lewis’ head lock issan innovation
in the mat game. He has perfected it
to such a point that he can snap it
on from nny position, and with amaz
ing celerity, There was a Sensa
tional feature to it just before the
second fall, for he clutched Draak’s
ead in a standing position, flipped
him over his shoulder and then forced
his shoulders to the mat. The Bel
gian, by spinning upbn his head and
squirming about like a contortionist,
Lroke it repeatedly before Lewis
scored the first fall
Draak's predietion that he would
evade the deadly grip seemed to be
based upon firm conviction, as he
hook it off eight times while the two
prestlers were gqeeking a first fall
The first three times the Strangler
worked it, Draak returned-with al
most as much strength. After the
two had gone 28 minutes, Lewis
snapped his right arm around the
Relgian's head and brought him to
the mat. With a stern, determined
force, he “turned on the juice.” It
ceemed tha tDraak could not help
bhut vield. In some manner, he strug
gled and tugged until he was free. As
he returned to renew the ¢dntest, he
iottered, Lewis took immediate ad
vantage of his groggy condition, and
tranped him.
The Belgian came back strongly
after losing the first fall. He staved
off Lewis successfully until ten min

Dtaak responded to the frantic pleas

I'TO 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 was not necessary to
camouflage—it is recorded that a
sturdy Atlanta captain, yclept Otto
Jordan, had a little misunderstanding
on the _dlamond at New Orleans. His
offense was that of pocketing a rub
ber ball, which the wily Chariey
Frank had put into play in the ninth
inning. When it seemed that noth
ing less than the fire department
could put the Pelicans out, Otto
calmly grabbed the sphere, with the
Indian rubber center and refused to
deliver it up.
The umpira ordered him from the
field. He refused to budge.
One bluecoat marched upon the
field, and, by virtue of a resplendent
badge and a swelllng bosom that sup
ported a navy blue uniform, insisted
that he depart hence, or somewhere
elge. 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 Mariah and rid
den to the New Orleans Bastile.
This was merely one incident to
show that Otto once was all right.
He was convoyed from the fleld on
other occasions, and, while he was
ordinarily an aggressive, conscien
tious player, Rudderham, Pfenninger
and other umpires can testify he’'s a
clared a no-contest by the ferferee,
Billy Sandow.
Mr, SBandow, as manager of Ed Lew
is, informed the spectators that all
matches would be conducgted upon a
high plane and that no betting would
be tolerated. He stated that, if prop
er arrangements could be made, Dr.
B. F. Roller, the celebrated physi
ciangwrestler, would come to Atlanta
io nhet Llewis 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 supreme effort of purling and
knitting. Furthermore, he did it
without dropping a stitch and is now
knitting for the soldiers.
"X I'm ‘doing oty ' 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. 1t is
the most interesting stuff I ever did,
except when I tried ‘hitting 'em where
they ain't!’
It is a new accomplishment with
Otto. The old 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
bis fall and descent, it seems that
Otto deserted Uncle Henry Ford fora
few days Christmas and went to
Pittsburg. There he called upon Miss
Margaret Sankey. Her father laid
aside his ball of yarn and purling in
struments long enough to welcome
him. “Excuse me if 1 continue my
knitting,” Mr. Sankey said, as he re
sumed the chopstick motion, “T am
anxious to finish this. It's the fourth
that T have knitted for the soldiers.”
This gave Otto the big idea. Miss
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.

’Captam Plays With Injured Hand.‘
'
Auburn Wages Stiff Battle, but
Loses to A. A. C., 47 to 29.
By Guy Butler.
ÜBURN'S game came up to, and
A probably surpassed the expecta
tions of its most rabid sup
porters Saturday night in the game
against the Atlanta Athletic Club
basketball team. The final score was
47 to 29, but the A, A. C. boys were
given a stiff battle from the colle
glans, despite the fact that they won
by an 18-point margin.
Emory Cocke, the towering center
of the Athietic Club quintet, exhibit
ing a bandaged hand, was in the line
up throughout the game, and despite
the handicap under which the big fel
low was playing. he succeeded in
making his opponents know that he
was in the game, He contributed 16
points to the score of his team, being
topped in the individual number of
points scored by Dodge omly. Cocke
put up a splendid game, and though
he had to protect his injured mitt, he

fensive work of the victors, making

]‘ol‘ the best foul gaol-tossers in this
section, pitching the ball into the

i Moon Ducote, the famous footbail
player, was at left guard during the
entire game for the Plainsmen, and
Ithm;gh his work on the defense was
good, he is a far better gridiron play

it looked for a few minutes as if they
intended to give the home boys a

However, after the game had pro
gressed several more minutes it could
be seen that the Plainsmen could not
'cope with Bean’s strong quintet. The
\sccre at the end of the first half was
22 to 16, but after the gong rang for

i (Gans once was pitted against a
fighter who was of the “cover-up”
type, continually keeping hands and

twun him the fight via the knockout
route, And this is how he 4id it:
[ Gans, noting that his rival kept his
|left hand close to the point of his
chin, drew back and then almed a
mighty rieht for the loft hand of the
other man. The blow struck the tar
| get and the impaet drove the left
fhnnrl of Gang’ foeman against his own
| chin 80 hard that he went down-—and
{unnplnlrly out.
{ In 1900, while training for my first
bout with Jim Jeffries, I had head
quarters in Asbury Park, N. J. Gans
,:-nd Al Herford, his manager, came
| down one day so that Joe could watch
me in my workout. | had developed
f:m uppercut which I used only at cer
(tain times in coming out of a clinch,
| My opponent always would have to be
in a certain position before [ would
| use It. It was one of my favorite ring
| tricks. Yet very few fighters ever
| had noticed me using it and none had
|imitated it up to that time,
| “The gymnasium in which 1 was
| working was a small one and the sec
{ond time I used the uppercut I heard
ia chuckle Turning around I saw it
| was Joe (Gansg who, great student that
| he was, had been watching my every
imove and had seen the value of »
trick of that kind at such a time in
flehting.
| A few weeks later, Gans met Frank
Erne in Coney Island, 1 sat at the
ringside for that contest and to my
surprise saw Joe Gans using the
identical uppercut which had escaped
the obgervation of many other men--
but not the observation of Joe Gans.
He was a 4 master boxer at the time,
one of the clevarest and most skillful
|in the game. He knew more ring
ln*h-k-; than any other youngster. But
| Joo always figured that he could learn
{more, He felt that the uppercut was
| a 4 valuable asset and after he had seen
Imu use it, I learned later that he had
‘s;mm many hours during his training
trying it on his sparring partners,
working patiently with it until he had
perfected it.
So 1t was all through the ring ca
| rear of the great negro. He was ever
‘nn the lookout for something; ever
watchful, ever learning. Is it any
]wmu]nr that he begame the greatest
| warrior of his weight and time?
