SOUR ENDING TO WRESTLING MATCH Cantonwine Wins From Harkovsky Through Use of Ruse in Main Event. What started out to be an A No. 1 match wound up last night with How ard Cantonwine, Iowa heavyweight, as the winner of two fulls out of three, and Count Harkovsky. thrown through a rase and taking It like a gentleman, more thoroughly than ever a favorite of the crowd. For those fans who place a pre mium on sportsmanship, the outcome was most unsatisfactory, count Har. kovsky displayed this quality, which Is often almost totally lacking in wrestling matches In the profession al circuit, several times during the evening. Cantonwine won the first fall In 18 minutes and SO seconds Willi, a lot of rough stuff, culminating In a fly ing headlock. The Russian came dbck and after Cantonwine found himself In trouble several times, Ermafc final ly pinned the lowan with a flying headlock, that wound up with a per fect four-point landing for his op ponent. The four points naturally. refer to his shoulder and hip bones. The time was 20 minutes ana 5 sec onds. rn the last period, both men al ternated In taking the offensive, with Cantonwine holding the edge. Both were near the ropes when Canton wine in some way managed to pat the count on the back, and the Russian fell for the old stuff that it was the referee and loosed his grip. It was easy then for Cantonwine to pin the Russian with a further nelson and arm scissors. There was no alterna tive for Ray McCarroll. referee, but to (award the match to Cantonwine. but the crowd engaged in a healthy outburst of boohs that left no one In 'doubt as to the sourness of the ending. The semi-final, between Frank Mc Carroll. of Boise, and ''Cliff White, of Denver, went to McCarroll who won thq second fall and then was awarded thq match when White, unable to re- cover""from a body slam, failed to come, back for tho final round. The fans spent most of their time In this event thinking up wise-cracks, many of which covered the situation quite well. V Th$ match was staged at the Eagles hall, and Roy Farnom acted as ref eree for the first event. f COUNT WANTS TO MEET i.

The count declared himself as willing to give all of his proceeds from such a match to the unem ployed of the city. In splto of a bad foot, suffered In last night's match, tho count stated his willing ness to meet Mr. McCarroll tomor row or any time In the future. As,, to Cantonwine, tho Russian, who is a Oreco-Roman wrestler fundamentally, which does not allow rough stuff in any form, merely j points to his scrapbook. showing one match wherein he won from Can tonwine on a foul. t Sport Slants I llv Alan 4.

The hotel lobbies were full of suggestions during the Blith ering of the gridiron clans In New York over the holiday week. Successful Princeton coaching graduates such as Charley Caldwell of Williams were quickly nominat ed for tho big job at Old Nassau. Thero was talk of recalling Bill Roper, whose political sagacity per haps led him to retire a year ago, beforo 'the slorin broke all over Frincclon.

"Here's Alble Booth tied up In ft hospital for months; the doctor has Just told him he can never resume athletics and Bennle busts out with this broadside as a Christmas pros- j ent. I "Paul Oalllco. one of your con-' temporaries, thinks and writes very highly of Mr. Friedman. He may be good, but he Isn't good enough to pan every other chap, even if the question of good taste didn't enter into It. "Bennle Friedman has a niche all his own as a football player. It can't be necessary, for him to go out of his way to talk about others. "Maybo Alble wasn't perfect, though a lot of honest sports writ ers spoke well of him. I never heard of him quitting or crying. Tho kid always did his best. May be he wasn't a Jim Thorpe or Ernie Movers or Eckcrsall, but Bennle wasn't, either. . . .

But Raskob's plan. Is not practicable nor Is the principle sound. Senator Lewis, of Illinois, Demo cratic anti-prohibitionist, said the prohibition position of Raskob "Is one already adopted by "voters of Illi nois and New Jersey." "The Issue Mr. Raskob reproduces already has been accepted by the states," said Lewis. "But If he Is to submit It he should do so to the na tional convention. To press It on the national committee is to press (t on a committee that has no jurisdic tion." Sees rontradlctory Action The statement "Raskob insists he wants to keep down dry-wet dissen sion in the party but constantly brings it to the "front" came from Senator Sheppard, co-author of the lath amendment.

"In my Judgment the best course Is to leave prohibition with the dis trict and state constituencies of rep resentatives and senators where it belongs, and not Inject It into party councils where it docs not belong."

OP Be- j cause onman's Ire was aroused by j a shirker, thousands of Jobless per- ; sons in Grand Rapids have been : saved from charity and supplied with j work. ' The stcry of how he was inspired to start the "Grand Rapids relief j system." which since has been j adopted by several other cities, has ! Just been revealed by George W. j Welsh. Grand Rapids' city manager ; and a former lieutenant-governor of Michigan. : Welsh heard an unemployed man boast he would not hur.t for a Job : "because the city will tak? care of me and tcllver my gnrceries to my j doer even if I don't work." "Right then." Welsh says. "I got ! my idea. I decided the unemployed should be given a chance to earn ; the money the city was spending to j assist them. j Plan Works Two Ways "It was a two-fold program of sav- ing the self-respect of the jobless and giving the taxpayers something for thetr money."

During the same time the value of agricultural exports has declined 25 ' Fer cent and the domestic demand fallen to an extent rarely before equalled in so short a time. Sec Need for Readjustment While the nature of agriculture is such that limits the promptness ' with which farmers can readjust prcductlon, the secretary feels that heretofore they have not been con 1 vinced cf the urgent necessity.

To prevent abuse of the sys tem, scrip can be cashed only by the prrson to whom it Is Issued. Now City Manager Welsh can look back on many accomplishments re sulting from more than a year of the "Grand Rapids system." The city's sewer system has been vastly Improved, flood prevention work along the Grand river le mov ing tcward completion and the sew age disposal plant has been improved and converted Into a beauty spot, swtmnihic Tool Installed Parks have been beautified, re pairs made to streets and walks- A swimming pool, called the largest In Michigan, has been Installed In Richmond park.

It supplies the jobless with fuel and is replenished with wood from unsightly dead trees cut frcm the river banks in the city and nearby woods.

Is said, would give a good quality of grain in relatively poor soils at a low cost of produc tion. The hybrid, was produced under the supervision of Sir Rowland Bif fen, whose "rust free" wheat, produc ed in 1914, aroused wide interest. The ' university, said it could produce strains of the hybrid which could be satisfactorily cultivated on land not ordinarily used for wheat growing. Officials of the ministry of agricul ture pointed out that such a hybrid opened the possibility of using much poor land where ordinary varieties of wheat could not be grown.
