Strangler Lewis
Meets Old Idol;
Laments Contest
By Robert Musel
(United Frew Surf Corrnpondent)
New York Ui"You don't re
member me," said the chunky
man with the massive shoulders,
"but I've waited a long time to
shake your hand."
George Hackenschmldt, the
"Russian Lion" of the days when
wrestlers were real giants, raised
litis head.
"No," he said finally, "I do not
know you." .
A curious crowd watched them
kin Bothner's gymnasium aero
bats, jugglers, tumblers, boxers,
"strong men.
"I didn't think you would re
member," said the man. "You
see, it was 40 years ago. that we
met we didn't really meet but I
always pretended that we did.
You were my idol like the kids
today worship Joe DiMaggio or
Joe Louis. And I was only 16. . , ."
Proud to Shake Hands
He shook his head on a neck
as thick as the trunk of a tree.
"I wish the kids who called me
a liar could see me now, shaking
George Hackenschmldt's hand. I
heard you were in town from Eu
rope and I came over here to see
you up close like I wanted, to do
in Chicago all those years ago.
I did not have enough money to
sit ringside to watch you wrestle
but I did notice the way you
rolled your shoulders when you
walked.
"I went around walking that
way until the neighbors began to
ask my folks what was wrong
with me. And you know, just see
ing you that night decided me on
my whole life. I became a wrest
ler, too."
"Hah," snorted the old Russian
Lion, now 73. "You did not wres
tle, I hope, like these bunk wres
tlers who smell up the rings tu
day. Why they make such tricks?
Who do they not wrestle? Surely
people will come to see skill and
strength."
'. Drama Required
''It's the world we live in," the
an replied. "People want the
bntastic. If We mifem a legitl-
& mate bout, the kind our fathers
it. The people have no patience
with the slow but terrific finesse
of your time, Mr. Hackenschmid'.
They want dramatic things to
happen all the time. That is a big
order for legitimate wrestling."
Hackenschmldt gestured with
an arm still mighty in girth. Once
it measured 20 inches around the
biceps.
"If I were young again," he
said, "I could take them all
and ..."
The unfinished sentence was
eloquent enough.
"Sure, you could," said his
Faithful Fan. "Well, I've got to
go, but it was nice of you to see
mc." -

New York. March 22 (U'i Or
ganized baseball faced a three and
two pitch today as it tensely
awaited a federal court decision
which will indicate the future fate
of the much-maligned reserve
clause and of baseball itself.
Some time this week, probably
on Wednesday, U. S. district court
judge Edward A. Conger will rule
whether three players who jump
ed to the Mexican league should
be reinstated immediately. The
trio, Max Lanier, Fred Martin and
Danny Gardella, have two years
remaining of a five-year suspen
sion.
Their fate actually isn t the ma
jor issue.
The big factor is that such a
ruling would render the reserve
clause powerless. Some believe it
virtually would assure permanent
destruction of the clause, which
binds a player to the club which
owns his contract from one seas
on to the next.
This clause permits baseball to
be attacked under the Sherman
anti-trust laws as a monopoly con
trolling players' lives.
There can be little doubt that
it is.
But the court held thnt there is
such a thing a a legal monopoly,
so baseball faces the issue hopefully.
Judge Conger bolstered this
hope when he asked:
"Is this reserve clause good or
bad? If it is good the petitioners
are out or luck.
"It is bad," argued John L.
Flynn, attorney for Lanier and
Martin, it pits man against mon
opoly; human rights against prop
erty rights."
"It is good," said baseball attor
ney Mark F. Hughes, in rebuttal.
"Any restraint which serves to
help and build cannot be con
demned."
But the reaction of the hun
dreds of players in organized base
ball may be a tremendous factor
when Conger hands down his deci
sion. In a poll taken by Dixie Walker
of the Pittsburgh Pirates, player
representative of the National
league, no team has raised a voice
against the reserve clause. All
have favored it.
This is an unexpected reaction
but easily explainable.
Just as in any other business, so
in baseball you are much better
off with a working' hookup than
if you must free lance every
spring for another job.
