Jefforson kept a good distance In th lead all through tbe last period of the race. 1 Weight had a lot to do with Jeffer son's victory, as Lincoln showed about as good form as has been seen In the lnterscholastlo seaaon. Th strong fea ture was the shooting on both sides. Lincoln had comparatively few chances at the net. but made most of Its op portunities.

NEW ARRIVAL NO NOVICE Mat Expert Say Al Palter, "White Hope," feed to Be Gruppler, and Clumsy One at That Speck Harkness Signs Contract. "Cyolon" Franksnsteln, th 1T8 pound grappler who Is to enter th arena with John Berg February !(. In an effort to wrest the light heavy weight title from th Portland wrest ler's shoulders, reached tha city from Salt Lake yesterday and Is registered at th Alton Hotel. "Never mind my name," said he In answer to queries. "Look on the reg ister and see. You'll find It la Frank enstein. I know something about th wrestling gams cr I wouldn't put up my money that I Can beat Berg. I don't know Fred Beel personally, so have nothing to do with hla coming match with Berg." That the unknown wonder Is no novice at th mat gam Is attested by his thorough knowledge of ring af fairs and mat notables. Franken stein tells an Interesting story of the start of Jesa Pederaon, the Danish champion, who meete Mahmout In March In an effort to drive Gotch to a bout. "1'ederson was a boy of 19 when Beck Olson was In his prime," said the visitor, extending his 175 pounds In a huge yawn. ".Next to the King. Beck was then the big racket In Den mark. Pederson figured he was strong enough to tackle th champion, and secured the services of a newspaper man to espouse hla cause. Finally, Olson consented to a match two out of three. "There was a great crowd out that night to see the challenger," continued Frankenstein. "Everybody expected to see the undoing of th challenger, and a hum of expectancy hung over the hall us the main event was announced. Then there come a gliding of a youth ful form across the quilted Inclosure, a mlxup. a pair of lega dangled on high and a pair of ehouldera sank into th mat "The king; of Danlah wrestlers lay plastered on his back. Pederson. the stripling, had won In less than on minute. Olson' heart was broken and he never entered the arena again." Frankenstein says that Al I'alxer. the sensational "white hope" boxer being; groomed to- meet Jack Johnson, waa formerly a .wrestler; "and a clumsy one. too," added th mat man. "He I came West with me one as far as St. Paul, where be decided to cut out th wrestling for boxing. He tried to In due Mike Gibbons, then boxing; in structor In th St. Paul Y. M.

Bob, Jr.. la only li years old, but be la six feet tall, and weighs 160 pounds. H Is too young rat to begin climbing, but will b ready when his daddy say th word. Christy Mathewson has a new scheme for figuring out pitchers' averages, and It looks mighty good. too. Christy would take th games of a pitcher and subtract them from his team's record of -wins and losses. Th percentage of the remaining wins and losses sub tracted from th pitcher's wins and losses would be the pitcher's worth either above or below his team's rank without him. Such an arrangement does not natter Matty, who stands 11th In th list of National Leaguers, Alexander Is first with a percentage surplus over th Phillies of .224; Bucker, of Brooklyn, next with .1(1, and Marquard, of New York, third with .160. fnder th pres ent method, whereby a pitcher with a tallend club geta slight recognition. Rucker stood lid in th list of gun ner. Applying th Mathewson cod to tha American League we find that Vean Oregg ranks easily th foremost pitcher In either the big leagues on his 1911 a ,nh a winning- nercentage over th other Cleveland pltchera of .118. Cleveland won 10 games and dropped 71 Oregg winning 21 and losing seven I of' this array. Eliminating Gregg's total, th Naps won si games anu iu C for an average of .461. His 11 wins and seven losses glv him an average of .T4T. which shows h was 104 points above hla team th largest margin of the year. . Walter Johnson Is second. Ruse Ford.

"I gave my consent only on the con d'tlon that all the profits were to be given to the Ladd School. Later MrB. Hawkes told a teacher that Mrs. Garri son .was to get her expenses and 60 per cent of the profits, that 25 per cent w'as to go to the association which Mrs. Hawkes headed and the remaining 25 per cent was to go to the Ladd School. Cambered Ticket Demanded. "This later proposal had not been known by Superintendent Rlgler, the School Board, or m;, and 1 then wrote to Mrs. Hawkes and insisted that our former agreement would have to be ad hered to. Furthermore, I said that all the tickets should be numbered and bear the stamp of the Heiltg Theater, and the price, and that all the money collected must be turned in to Mana ger Pangle, of the.Helllg. Mr. Pangle agreed to let the association have the Hetllg for 1100, under my plan, or Tor $200 If Mrs. Garrison were to receive 60 per cent of the profits. I agreed to allow Mrs. Garrison 85 per cent of the profits, but not her expenses. "On day Mrs. Orelia Taylor, secre tary of the association, came to me with 400 tickets for me to distribute among my pupils to sell. Shortage I Alleged. "The tickets were not numbered, they were Incorrectly dated and were not stamped. I was astonished and asked where Mrs. Hawkes was. She replied that Mrs. Hawkes was dis tributing tickets from an automobile. "Together we found Mrs. Hawkes and stopped the sale of those tickets. Of the 102 box seats, costing $1.50 each, the sale of which Mrs. Hawkes took charge, I never heard what became of the money. Mrs. Taylor was short about $200 in tickets or money at the close of our business. Mrs. Hawkes was not even a resident of the dis trict she was so Interested In. "Mrs. Garrison held us up for the original amount of 60 per cent Just before the curtain went up. Mr. Pan gle said if possible to give the show without her.
