The condition of the match tonight calls for two best falls out of three. The first time these two men clashed, Stangl agreed to throw McGill twi- e within an hour. "Patty" surprised the handsome Joe and turned the trick, winning a fall in a little more than half an hour. It was agreed upon by both men that if McGill won a fall he would win the watch. ' "Pat" won and walked over the stags ""-with $500. Now, Manager Loche of Stangl wants to win the $500 back. Will he? ' Another good match is on the card.

Indians Will Enter '21 Race With Old Team - Cleveland Club Well Organ ized for Season Speaker On Need of Good Utility Inficlder. By JAMES CRUSINBERRY.

The Manager Speaker down to the bat rugged Sieger got the judge's dcci bov. have no other idea in mind than i slon at t'ic-l: that they will win the American league pennant again this year. There may be some flaws.- in the physical makeup oi the champions. Some of the boys are getting a bit old. Some aren't any too strong at I batting. Some arc a little slow on'Ss. , their feet, but mentally all are most I x Five star boxing bouts will be proficient. It is a team close to j dished out to local Elks and their psychological perfection. If it really is truethat psychology enters ma terially into the national pastime and Iris Speaker firmly believes it does then the Indians are in. Well Organized Outfit. Probably there isn't a ball club in the game so well organized as this Cleveland outfit. It is a sort of a happy family aggregation. A sample of the spirit and morale of this team was shown in the clos- ing weeks of the season last fall as , well as in the world's series, and it's I the same team now that finished the ! season of 1920. When Ray Chapman 'was killed late in the season by the accident in New York, the Indians were in front and going fast. That accident to one of their members was like it haf happened in a family, and for a week or more-there was extreme grief. The team fell out of first place, but it recovered and went into the fight with greater vigor than ever and won the pennant. In the world's series Brooklyn got away in front during the first session played in Brooklyn, but again the rally spirit came forth and the Indians on their home grounds won four straight games 1 and the world's title. Sure to He In Race. Just because of .that wonderful spirit and almost perfect condition that exists on the team, the Indians are sura to be In the race to the finish this season. The New York team looks stronger on paper. Perhaps one or two others do, but the others will be battling against a spirit on the Cleveland team that doesn't know de feat. I a.-ked Speaker where he felt his team was weakest and his answer was that he felt a need of a good utility infielder. If that were the only weakness felt by all the other managers, they wouldn't he worrying much. of course, should one of Speaker's regulars of the inner circle of defcne be crippled it would hurt the team greatly, for it woul break up the win ning combination. , Caldwell to Trove Factor. Tt has been expected Trls would have some fear for the pitching strength afterH tne strenuous time lie had a year ago in going through with only two reliable hurlers. Stanley Coveleskie and Jim Bag. by. Hut it must be remembered that Kay Caldwell became so filled with the Clece land spirit and morale last year that be fore thu season was over lie was a reliable hurler. Then toward the close of 1920 came Walter Malls, a big. burly left-hander, with exactly what was needed to com plete a pitching staff.

The upstate can; lidatc ripped and tore into the Bronx ite eery inch of the way and several times it looked as though Willie was due for a knockout. As early as the second .found Rocky had Jackson in distress, but the baglev entry fought himself out of the difficulty with a strong right hand looping punch to the Italian's face. rinninsr left hand hook to the stomach was the best blow used by Kansas and he surely brought it into execution at every opportunity. Jack son could find no defense for this shot and near the end, he showed the 1 effects of the continued hammering. Kansas Starts Battle. When the light started Kansas started to rush Jackson off his feet, but Willie came back with savage straight and left and right hand punches. It was impossible to keep off the aggressive Kansas fellow, however, and he kept tearing after the local boy with a vengeance. At the end, the judges lost no time in granting the verdict to Kansas. Jackson weighed 132 1-2 pounds while Kansas scaled 1.3.3 1-2. Midget Smith and Jack Sharkey fought a 10-round draw in the semi finals. "Kid" Norfolk Wins.
