For th second time Jefferson High
defeated Lincoln's basketball quintet
at the T. M. C. A. yesterday afternoon
and with a score one point larger than
before, 25 to IS. Jefferson started the
scorlnn. but Lincoln soon caught up
and th game resolved Itself Into a
aee-saw affair.
The score at th end of th flrat half
was 10 to In favor of Jefferson. Soon
after th Start of th next period Jef
ferson Jumped ahead and then the
gam waa out of reach aa far as Lin
coln waa concerned. 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. Bill Lewis, as usual,
landed some of the best ahota. making;
a ringer from near th middle of th
floor.
Walter Morgan, on of th oldest
basketball men on tha high school
teama. Is getting back Into his old
form. lie was responsible to a great
extent for the small number of chances
that th Lincoln squad got yeaterday.
11 waa out of the city th laat semes
ter and has now been with th Jeffer
son team for about 10 day.
Johnny Murphy shone a usual for
Jefforson. Lincoln waa trying Its best
to keep him under, however, and man
aged to keep him from repeating many
of his former stunts. Ashworil) and
Lewis stuck In their oars to good ad
vantage at different times, each mak
ing th most potnta for his team.

"Cyclone" Person Will Try to
Wrest Wrestling Laurels
From John Berg.
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. C A., to
take him in band, but Gibbons wouldn't
look at him."

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 management of the affair said:
"Mrs. Hawkes brought Mrs. Garrison,
of Los Angeles, to me and Introducing
her as a friend, Eald that her services
had been engaged to put on a play In
which the pupils of my school were to
take part.
"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.
"Mrs. Hawkes obtained money from
buVss njn to defray Mrs. Garri
son's expenses, which were heavy. We
don't know how much In all. We have
never known Just where the money
went, except that the Ladd School did
not get any."
