12 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.
