A small crowd of Lincoln County Bportlng . fang witnessed the moat scientific and hardest rought wrestl ing match ever pulled In this section Saturday night,- June 24th, when Geo. Barnes or Lincoln ieDr., na 10m nay . of Omaha wrestled six rounds, white , rules, to a draw. I Ray had been scheduled to meet Cha.

"If there is a person in the i house who Is not satisfied after this i match is over he or she can get their monev back for the asking," he stated. iTVnm thA vprv start of the match the fans did not regret that Olson had refused to show. He has worked be fore here and his style of wrestling Is not pleasing to real sportsmen, i Barnes and Ray are without doubt two of the fastest and most scientific men ln the wrestling game and it is! only once in a life-time that a town the size of Toledo has the opportunity, to see Buch men work. Barnes Is a for the midd".e-welght cham pionship of the world while Ray,! about 10 pounds lighter, has no equal j for speed and science.

Toledo Defeats Siletz by Score 8 to 0 Sunday Hall, Pitching in Excellent Form, Holds Indians to Two Hits and Strikes Out 16 Bat- terc; Toledo Boys Land Hea. vy. In a game that was featured by heavy hitting on the part of the lo cal boys and the e.xceiiei.i pi'ching of Hall the county seat baseball nine took the Siletz Indians to a cleaning by a score of 8 to 0 at that plarn Sun day afternoon. Two home runs, two three-baggers, two two-baggers and nine singles tolU the story of the way the Toledo bunch romped on the of- ferinea of "Big Chief' Goodell who heaved the twisters for the Indians Outside of two easy chances that were muffed by Hall and Weeks, the local lads played a perfect game. Goodell, although hit hard, pitched a steady game and had he had any sup port from his teammates Toledo's end of the scoring would have been cop- siderably less. Hall, who has just recovered from a "game" side which has 'been bothering him for several weeks, seemed to have everything, and the "Indians" were held at his mercy in every stag of the game, only four Indians reaching first base, two of them when Hall fumbled an easy one and when Weeks missed a pop-up fly, 'he other two got on when goodell got the first hit of the day for his team in the sixth Inning, slamming the ball far over the center fielder's head for & three-bagger, ana again when Lane hit for two bases ln the ninth inning. Sixteen of the Siletz boys walked to the plate and attempt ed to connect with the Hall-room bov's offerings, only to walk , back again after taking three husky swings at the "twisting pill." Sunday's game will likely stand as a record for the number of batters fac ing a pitcher in nine innings, in seven of the nine Innings only three men faced Hall and in the other two only LEGION STILL CALLS DEMPSEY A SLAKCER San Francisco, Cal.

'Flve member of the local baseball team are hitting the "Apple" above the .360 mark and from the way the boys slammed 'em out at the game at Siletz Sunday, there is every rea son to believe they have hit a new stride. Weeks, Hall and Service were especially prominent with the Big Stick Sunday, Weeks and Hall each slamming the ball out for a homer, a three-bagger and a single while Ser vice ran them a close race with two two-baggers and a single. Van De- covering, who has been far In the lead in batting, had a slump Sunday, and lost the lead. He is still second, how ever, in the batting averages, having a percentage of .450 which is top notch in any man's league. Louie Bain who has been a dependable hitter ln past seasons has Just commenced to.' find his eye and he Is very likely to "hover" around the top before many more games are played. Trommletz Is fourth in the standing with a per centage of .346. , Tho percentages to date are as fol lows: BATTING AVERAGES AB. H.

He hates himself and everybody about him and paint? the air blue with his mutterings of disrespect for tho poor little "apple." It was a shame 'but we just simply had to show those good natured In , dlans that we could deliver a shut-oul also If we went our best. The Indians handed a goose egg to Waldport one week ago Sunday by a score of 6 to nothing. Van Decoverlng looked like a mil lion dollars at third base Sunday, handling several hot ones perfectly and accepting two chances to stoji runners at his station. He took a slump in batting, however, from which It Is to be hoped he will soon recover. XJp'to last Sunday's r" tr.fi he was bai ting at the high mark of .6G7. Calther look fine y..M H':1v V, hnrir' ' shortstop rn more games. He handled two chances and connected for a single at bat. "Smiling Water'' Bensell kept a steady war-whoop going on the coach ing line at first base Sunday, frantical ly endeavoring to get somebody riled up and excited, but without success. He also came near getting his bean knocked 'oft on one occasion ' when Louie Bain attempted . to throw a runner out at first. Umattata (we guess we spelled It right) is about es big as a pinch of snuff and It is sure some job to heave the apple while he is standing at the plate. It is about 12 Inches from his knees lo the top of his shoulders. He sure has a pitcher handicapped. Weeks put all his excessive weight behind a swing ln the fourth Inning for the longest hit wo have witnessed this season. He is a second Babe Ruth for driving tho ball Into the outer gardens and if there had been a fence there at the regulation dlstanc", we are of the opinion that lite ba'l would have cleared It 30 feet. Toledo Is slated to meet Siletz again at Newport on July 4. The teams will likely put up ona of the best exhibitions of the national game of the season at that time. Tiia "Jn dlena" will not soon forget that beat ing Sunday and ihey will hava a much stronger team for the Fourth of July game. Speaking of wrestling? What do you think of the Swede now? When Olson saw that there was only a small crowd at the match Saturday night he refused to go on, Btatlng that he could not afford to work for the am ount he would get out of It. There was a lot of people here who had sym pathized with him in his previous matches, but, unless we miss our guess, he might just as well seek other fields tor his future matches.
