MEM TO MEET HERE
Edgar E. Frank Now Arousing
Interest of Amateurs in
Championships.
EASTERN CLUBS VISITED
Chairman of Registration Commit
tee of Pacifio Northwest Asso
ciation Writes That Out
look Is Encouraging.
That the best amateur gTSpplers In
the United States will attend the Ama
teur Athletic Union championships to
be held In Portland under the auspices
of the Multnomah Amateur Athletlo
Club May 11 and 12 is evident from a
letter Just received by Instructor Ed
ward J. O'Connell from Edgar E.
Frank, chairman of the registration
committee of the Paclf lo Northwest As
sociation, -who is scouring: the Middle
West and East In order to obtain rep
resentation from every leading; club
and college in the country.
The letter was written by Mr. Frank
In Chicago. He says that the Chicago
Athletic Club will send a team with a
special trainer, who Is none other than
the famous Martin Do Laney, the Chi
cago club's own Instructor, who has
turned out some of the best wrestlers,
both amateur and professional. In
America.
De Laney will bring K. Borslto. of
the Gary. Ind., Young Men s Christian
Association. 115 pounds: William
Hallas. Greek-American Athletic Club,
Chicago. 135 pounds, both last year's
National champions. He win also
bring Spyris Borres, an unattached 125
pound boy of Chicago -who won the
1915 National championship at San
Francisco. These lads will come to
gether with the winners of several big
tournaments to be held in the Windy
City within the next tew weeks. Mr.
Frank will probably referee soma of
these tournaments so that he can get
a line on the candidates for this great
Western meet.
From Chicago Mr. Frank probably
will go to Montreal where more than
likely he will secure the Canadian
champlcns if the war will permit them
to get away. Montreal is the home of
Gene Tremblay, ex-welterweight cham
pion of the world, and the Montreal
Athletlo Club has turned out many
famous knights of the mat
Edgar will trek to New York then to
look over the situation there where
they will have the big Eastern tryouts.
There ho will make arrangements to
bring out the winners of the intercol
legiate wrestling meets which take
place early in March. The pick of the
big Eastern colleges will be repre
sented. After this he will go to New Orleans
where he will get the Southern aggre
gation and back to Portland by way of
Los Angeles and San Francisco. Both
the Los Angeles and Olympic Clubs will
be represented.
The roruand Toungr Men's Christian
Association, the local high schools and
the Northwest colleges will all send
entries. Probably 300 wrestlers will
take part in the meet. Competition
will take place both the afternoon and
evening of May 11 and 12 at the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletlo Club's gym
nasium. The Edgar E. Frank system of pro
moting more wrestling in the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletlo will be in
augurated next Wednesday night
when two matches will take place.
Both will be at catch weights. Wres
tling Instructor O'Connell matching
the men.
The opening tussles will be between
Carl Frelllnger and George Hansen and
Howard Woodruff and J. Buchler. Mr.
Frank has sung up neat medals for the
winners. These matches will be open
to the club members free of charge.
"Rusty" Groce probably will repre-
sent the Multnomah Amateur Athletio
Club in the Pacifio Northwest Associa
tlon championships to be held In
Seattle early next month. The club
also will send that sterling light
heavyweight. Tom Louttlt, and Ralph
Underwood.

MAT FANS AT SAN FRANCISCO
&WAIT SANTEL-STECHER BOUT
Wrestling Contest February 22 Not Likely to Be Won by Californian.
Strangler Lewis Goes East Girl Fight Manager Creates Interest-
BT HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 17. (Spe
cial.) Unless all signs fall. Joe
Stecher, of Dodge City, Neb., gen
erally recognized as the champion
heavyweight wrestler of the world.
will be seen in action against Ad San
tel on the afternoon of Washington's
birthday, at the Clvio Auditorium, this
city.
Stecher at first had a neat little
scheme of his own all mapped out. Hi
explained that due to a touch of neu-1
ritls. following his disastrous showing
agaliwt John Olln. the Finnish grap
pler. he felt unequal to the task of
meeting Santel in his first match. He
proposed a bout against some inferior
opponent as a starter, with Santel in
the dim and distant future.
Naturally this didn't suit Santel. who
wanted to be in on the moneymaker,
and threatened to quit San Francisco
for good and all unless his wishes
could be respected.
Likewise it failed to appeal to the
fans.
"Stecher vs. A. Sucker" was the way
they labeled the new schedule, and
Stecher and his manager. Joe Hetma
nek, were not slow in coming to terms.
Mee-her Is Converted.
Hetmanek started a series of tele
grams to Promoter Frank Schuyler, in
which he intimated by eaey stages that
Stecher might get into shape faster
than at first was thought could be the
case, and if so, he would accept the
Santel engagement.
Came the Stecher-Peters match last
Monday night in Omaha, a bout that
was easily won by Stecher, and on top
of that a decisive telegram from Het
manek that 6techer was O. K. for Feb
ruary 22 and would reach here Feb
ruary 19.
Stecher, assufning he makes a good
showing with Santel. is not to be sat
isfied with one encounter. He will
want another bout and Schuler Is quite
willing to give it to him, if a suitable
man can be secured.
Bill Demetral. the Greek, didn't gtve
Santel as much of an argument a few
weeks back as had been expected. Ad
won in straight falls with less than an
hour and a half of actual work. His
favorite holds, the scissors, were used
In subduing the Greek. Demetral
tapped the mat In token of defeat for
the first fall, when his arm was being
wrenched, and the second time he was
pinned for more than the necessary
three seconds.
Demetral Puts T Honest Beat.
Spectators who had looked forward
to a rough session were disappointed.
Demetral proved that he could hold to
his word and wrestle fairly and square
ly. He outwrestled Santel. so far as
points were concerned, for the first
45 minutes, but after that the Ger
man forged to the front and became
the aggressor.
Strangler Ed Lewis, who has had
quite a successful Western tour from
a standpoint of winning matches, as
well as financially, has left this part
of the country. He departed last week
for Chicago along with the announce
ment that ho was to marry a New
York girl and that he would retire, at
least temporarily.
Lewis saye the question of his con
tinuing as a professional srappler is
all up to Mrs. Lewis.
No one takes him seriously on this
score, however. Once a professional,
always a professional, and Lewis is
making too much coin to turn to any
thing else.
More than that, ho has better than
a fair chance for the championship, and
the lure of a title is something that
counts invariably with any sort of an
athlete.
The departure of the Strangler from
the West was not unexpected. He had
used up the available talent and. sinco
there were mo bouts awaiting hira
either in San Francisco or Lo.4 Aneeles,
he made up hUi mind that ho might
as well go elsewhere.
Just what the wrentllng game will
be after Santel and Setcher meet Is a
problem that Is worrying Schuler. Saiu
Francisco will then have seen the best
and possibly will tire of ordinary sessions.
Santel. as Is generally appreciated,
has been the big hero. Should Santel
Win (and no one takes that view
seriously) he will want to start away
at once on a theatrical tour, thereafter
wrestling in the Middle West, If he
doesn't win, it is possible. Ad wilt be
contented to remain in San Francisco,
working against other men who may
be brought this way.
There are not as many possibilities
In the wrestling game as with. th
various classifications in boxing and
It tends to worry a promoter more or
less as to his next move.
Girl FIsht Manager Is Nevelty.
San Francisco tisht fans have been
thrilled by something in the way of a.
novelty a girl tight manager.
Elizabeth Tucker, who is here with
her brother flichters, Frankle and Lon
nie Tucker, from Oklahoma, is th
young woman who Is getting the pub
licity and who last Friday night caused
the fans to turn out in large numbers
because it was promised the wijuld be
in the corner during the scrap.
Chief of Police White granted per
mission for her to put in an appearance
on that one occasion. She waited in
the box office until Brother Frankle
was called to the ring. Then she slipped
into an inconspicuous seat at the ring
side and watched proceedings.
Miss Tucker left the real towel
swinging to hired seconds and if the
crowd looked forward to watching a
girl shout advice from the corner. It
must have been sorely disappointed.
Incidentally Tucker lost to Jimmy Dun
dee by a city block, but a couple of
gallant judges, whose eyes must have
been in the backs of their headw gave
Frankie the flag just the same.
Comment on the poor decision
caused the immediate rematching of
the pair, but unless the Tuckers scrap
far better than they have so far dis
played, even a sister manager will not
make them money-makers here In San
Francisco.
Berry Spurns Promoters.
Without any intention of criticising:
the Oakland baseball club for renting
the Oakland park for Winter tights. .
as has been done on two occasions. Hen
Berry announced the other day that he
had turned down a proposition looking'
to a similar use of Recreation Park
when not otherwise occupied, for base
ball purposes.
Some San Franciscan approached
Berry with a view to leasing the park
next Winter, but Berry said there
would be nothing doing so Tar as ha
is concerned. Henry doesn't figure the
two sports will mix well.
Twice since Recreation Park was
first built it has been used for fights.
In the days when Jack Gleason was a
magnate Joe Thomas and Stanley
Ketchel appeared in a night time en
counter at the ball park, a night that
will be long remembered because of
rain and wind that threatened to top
ple over the tent.
Again Joo Gans beat Jimmy Britt in
the famous ulna tight, Jimmy refusing
to go further once it was apparent that
he didn't have a chance and. would only
take a beating.
