Is worthy of the praise of his fcllow cltlzens and still , more worthy of the emulation of other young business men. It ' is too easy to venture excuses when man goes into business, that these activities aje too pressing to permit what would be a normal amount of physical exercise. Mr. Frank Is a striking exponent of a man who does not neglect his business and yet finds time to buna nimseu wen along physi eanesi By Sportsman. It Is a pleasure to speak in this column of tne splendid work of one of Portland a most alert business men. It Is not the province of Sportsman to discuss the merits of any Individual from a business, standpoint, but it Is always a pleasure to feel that men can be commercially aatlve, yet not neglect the ideals upon which clean amateur sports are based. Edgar Frank, time the hardest form of physical exer Most men choose some form of hobby. it may be the collection of stamps, or rare pictures, it may ne cross-country walking or riding horseback, or like the president or the unltedr states, golf may be his chief form of recreation. Usually when a man gets Into business and feels the need of exercise, he electa some of the milder and less aggressive forms of culture. ' Most Strenuous of Chuaes. If there is any game that is strenu ous, any game that is vigorous, any f;ame that demands all that Is best n one In courage, skill and fighting Instinct, wrestling is the game. Mr. Frank has chosen for his form of past- else and with the same qualities that haa made him successful in business, he has mastered all the Intricacies and secrete of the skilled professional and it is doubtless true that there are few professionals of Mr. Frank's weight, or even heavier, who would class., with hlrft in skill. It is possible that many of these noisy and easy seekers for Mr. O'Con nell'a scalp will easily be taken In camp and defeated in the Multnomah 126 pound championship. If more ,buslness men would follow Mr. Frank's example antl-teke-up-etardy games-wlth --even one-tenth Tart of his Interest, health and strength would be less at a premi um and doctors would not be such busy men. .
