Htrnngler Lewis admitted to me to-
day he deserved to be beaten by Big
Wnyne Alunn .in the memornhle
wrestling match which cost the vpt
eran hendlot k genius his heavyweiglit
title.
Lewis has no alibis to present.
Nor does he seek to belittle the for
mer Nebraska football star's great
ness as a wrestler.
"I was in pretty good condition
that night, and 1 knew Munn was
anything but a setup. 1 figured I
knew more about the technique of
the sport than he and I banked on
my knowledge to offset his treinen-dou-
size.
"i knew, too, his best hold was a
crotch and half Nelson. A man his
site can murder anybody with that
hold so I conceived a plan by which
I hoped to evade it. The plan, in
short, was to headloek him at every
opportunity, and release tho lock
gradually whenever ho seemed dan
gerous. Munn Watched His Arm
'This meant that I would trade
lihn n headloek for a crot e'u, or
rather, release the lock in order to
escape the crotch. It worked well
three or four times. I would release

After the gnme, on his way to the
(- f club house he hapiiened to be walkinu
1 just hfhind tne. "What's wrong with
my style at the plate?" he queried.
"But always he would come hack
apparently trying the same tactics
without any vnrintion whatever. I
said to myself, "This boy is simple.
1 It kuows but one way of doing
things. He lacks craftiness.' AYhile
these thoughts wero stilt running
through my mind Win 11 proceeded to
convince me he was far from simple.
"The next time I released the
headloek and dropped my left arm
he reached clear around my back
and pinned the arm to my body. In
another instant he hail gained a
crotch and half Nelson and I felt
myself tiemg urteii suddenly from
tho flor by a pair of powerful arms.
Jn another second I experienced the
sensation of flying head foremost
through space.
"I remember little cInp about the
match. They teil me .Munn picked
me up bodily and threw me from
tho ring. 1 don't remember it. I
don't remember coming hack and
wrestling a third fall at all. though
it is recorded that I did. Xor do I
even remember going to the hospital
the next dny whore I remained for
two weeks.
Return Match Inevitable
"Looking back on the match 1 can
see how smart Munn really was. He
was watching the position of my left
arm when I withdrew it from the
headloek. He watched it just long
enough to know when und whern to
reach for it and when his moment
came he made the most of it. Don't
let 'em tell you he isn't smnrt."
Lewis tells you he will not be
tricked again when the two come
together in a return mntch. which is
inevitable. Lewis thinks Munn can
be benten if you keep away from his
crotch and half Nelson, and he says
this can be done rather easily if you
keep your wits about you. "I'll make
him come to me the next time and
wear him down," promises the ex
champ. This mntch will be staged in the
summer, and will undoubtedly draw
the biggest purse of any wrestling
mntch in the history of the country.
It may even double the figures , of
the (totch-I Inckenschmidt match at
Chiengo a dozen years ago when the

WASHINGTON, March 7. The
greatest tribute to AValter Johnson's
prowess as a pitcher can be found

If a pitcher wins 20 bull games dur
ing the season s play he has had
most suci'fSHful year. Johnson has
turned that trick 11 time.
F rom 1 it 1 ( 1 to HHy. cf ive ri ng a
period of 10 nt-anons. Johnson won
lifi or more game every year. In nix
of the lit earn he won tTi or more
games.
Johnson's beat season was In lOl.'i,
when he turned in 3(i victories and
suffered only seven defeats, a most
marvelous record. The year previ

Winning 2d or more games for 10
consecutive sensons is a record of
which few pitchers can boast.

natural surroundings. Tals condition
has been brought about more rupidly,
due to the world war, wiith its result
unt unheard-of fur prices.
When muskruts jumped up from 40
cents to $1 and beavers from $5 to
?."(, with other fur prices in propor
tion, the trapper worked overtime,
the farmer boy turned trappVr, the
settler and his family became no
madic, and the makers of steel traps
enjoyed unusual business.
The dropping of prices paid for
raw furs baa not brought back the
animals, nor will it, for prices are
still high and furs are in demand.
The JnUimi trapper always left
"Beed" for next year's catch. The
white trapper, following hord on the
heels of the red man, guthcrod up this
n u-over crop, ah a result there are
hundreds of thousands of miles of
trapping country that wus good a few
years ago which is "cleaned" today.
This condition is indeed appalling
over the hunting grounds of many of
the Indian tribes.
The Indian does two things well
fishes and hunts. lie is by nature
inisuited to agriculture. lie hates it.
He is by do means a success as a
woodchopper or river driver.
Venr by year finds the Hudson Ray
posts moving farther and farther
back into the fur country. How far
back can they go and still be in fur
country? Of course that is another
story; as is the old query. of "what's
to become of the Indian?"
The fur of tomorrow is to coinu
from tho fur form. Today there are
fox farms in California, Minnesota
and Maine. Likewise in a dozen other
states.
The Lake Erie shores' of New York
slate and Ohio are lined with fur
farms. These are for tho most part
silver black fox ranches. However,
muskrats, rnccoons, skunks and other
furs are being cultivated in increasing
number.
H is tho conditions here set forth
that form reasons why publicity de
partments of railways, states and
provinces no longer make recommen
dations to those seeking suitable
trapping country.
