ROGERS IS EASY
FOR' MSTECHER
Succumb- to Nebmikin'i Scissors
Hold ia Eight Minutes md Five
Kinutes, BespectiTely. - .
HOGZSS ALWAYS ON LETEUSE
It's the same eld story over and 'Over
again. ,
This time Joe Roger of Buffalo. N. T.,
and pupil of Emit Ktank, maker of cham
nlon. was tba victim of tha same ' otd
story.
Rogers essayed to give Jo Stecher
little tat Ha on tha wrestling mat at
tha Council Bliiffa Auditorium. But
Rogers. Ilka all tha othert, proved no
match for tha Nebraskan and lost two
straight falls. Tha flrat fall enma In
eight minutes and twenty aeennda and
tha second fall came in flva minutes and
thlrtjr-aevon seconds.
Tha wonderful scissors, aided and
abetted hr an English bar lock, proved
to bs tha fatal hold fo Boner, aa It haa
for all tha other grsppters who . locked
noma with Joa.
Aftar tha two men ahook handa before
tha flrat tilt Btechrr and Roger felt each
other out for three minutes, with fltacher
doing; tha leading. Joa then tripped Itinera
to tha mat and promptly started after
tha scissors. He had it In a twinkling of
an eye and tha deadly pressure begin.'
Lay la Seiaser.
ttngers weathered tha scissors for. flva
minutes. Ha kept Steelier from taming
him ever by stretching himself out flat
or bp doubling Into a knot. But It was
of no avail. With but eight minute
ticked off by tha clock tha Podse phenoro
spun Rogers around wlUiout losing his
cleors grip, and then secured tha. bar
lock. ' ' " '
Rogers couldn't stand tha torturing grip
and lock and alowly turned over on hla
shoulders. Sight mlnutea and twenty
aeonndn. ' '
Tha eeeond fall rama quicker. Tha man
were on their feet but two minute be
fore Stecher threw I losers to' tha mat
Asj before, ha Immediately damped tha
aclKsora oa and began to work for tha
bar lock. He got It and it only took
thiee mora mlnutea to turn tha Buffalo
wan over. s - . .
Hog or never had a chanoe. ntecher
ii on tha agrslve every minute.
Rogera did not make ona offensive move,
be was always on tha defensive. Its did
not get behind Btecher once and In fact
didn't break a single hold, for It was tha
original setssoiM that did tha work in
each tilt.
rBr Tha a Catler. .
After tha match Bteoher declared that
Rogers Is the atro-ngeet man ha haa ever
met. even asserting Rogers Is stronger
than Charley Cutler. But Rogera couldn't
tay a long as Charley Cutler. In fart,
lie was mi.re helpless sgalnst Joa than
was lluasana or Amerlcua or Weater
gasrd or any of tha rait of them. .
Other wrestlers have wriggled out or
broken away from the sclasora when first '
clamped on them even though they event
ually succumbed But Rogoia didn't 4lo
a single thing. He looked like a big saok
of grain who couldn't fight back, ha was
that helpless under the scissors.
Between I. (40 and 1400 wreatllng fsns
filled the Bluffs Auditorium to see the
match and cheer 6techera victory. Ung
before the match started every seat in the
house had been sold and the doora Were
locked. Several hundred ' were turned
away aa no accommodations could be
found for them. (;'.

Players' Fraternity
Sustains His Refusal
NTTW VTORK. Feb. URefuaal oC
"Jimmy" Johnston of the Newark Fed
eral league club to sign a contract with
tha Brooklyn Nationals, to which he wai
sold, has) been sustained by the Rasa
Ball Players' Fraternity, according to a
statement isaued tonight by President
David A. Fulti.
It la contended by FMlts that Johnston
signed a contract with ths Newark Fed
eral for 116 and 1M7. in which Ills sal
ary waa guaranteed for that- period.
President Ebbetta of the Brooklyn elub
offered him a contract Containing a ten
days' release olauae and naming a salary
lower than he was to reoelva undrr hla
Federal contract. Johnston Insists tha
Brooklyn club should assume his existing
contract. ' 1 ;'
President Fults declared the proposal
made to Johnson violated ths "peace
agreement" and expresses) the belief that
tha National commission will sustain the
jJayer In his stand.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1. With meeting
of tha American league and the National
commiaslon in this city tomorrow and
Frlil y, and a special session called by
President Qllmore to wind up the affaire
of the Federal league at Chicago on Sat
urday, the annual winter season devoted
to ma tor league base ball legislation
probably will close this week.
141st week the American league was
compelled to postpone Its regular meet
ing, at which the coming season's play-
Ins schedule was to have been adopted.
The delay waa caused by the unsettled
condition of the Cleveland club's affairs.
Tha sale of that club yeeterday has)
cleared the way for the schedule mattenf
and it Is expected that on President B.
B. Johnson's arrival here he will make
publto the names of the men who have
Invested capital In the Cleveland club.
As was 'the case when the National
league had Its session here last week,
American leaguo club owners will be
called upon to welcome the renreaentar-
Uvea ef two club.
President Ball, who recently purchased
the St. Louis. Browns, will make hla for
mal entry to the Junior major loague,
and the principal stock owner of the
Cleveland club will In all likelihood be
on hand for a similar purpose.

In the drafting of a playing program, the
eohedule committee resumed Its tssk
again this morning.
Chairman John Savage of Topeka, of
the committee, has two schedules drafted,

In the full-floating type of axle the weight of the car is carried

The driving pinion and ring gear with which it engages are the
spiral type, specially cut, insuring unusually smooth action and reduc

In the tests conducted by Buick engineers a load of thirteen thou

The safety of this type axle was thereby proven beyond all doubt.
