AMERICA'S "NEW SPORT."
A Criticism of “All-In" Wrestling.
ELEMENT OF BRUTALITY.
Many of us have witnessed the wrestling bouts ahown GA the films during a News Film. What do we think of it? It would be safe to say that the majority of the people would derive little plen- sure in witnessing a fight of this description. The following article is both critical and interesting reading.
Entering the Marine Gardens Stadium, Porto Bello, the other night, I was handed the
pro- gramme intimating a bout of "All In American Wrestling-The Most Critical Sport of To-day." I had
previously seen the Govan bout.

SHIELDS SUCCESSFUL.
Montreal, Yesterday, The United States advanced their lead to-day from three matches to one to 4 matches to 1. The full results as cabled by Reuter were as follow:-
Shields (U.S.A.) beat Marcel Rainville (Canada) 6-1, 6-4, 6-1.
Earlier Results. Sidney Wood (U.S.A.) bent J. Wright (Canada) 8-6, 6-3, 6-1.
Shields and Sidney Wood (U.S.A.) defeated J. Wright and Marcel Rainville (Canada) 8-6, 6-4, 6-2.

But I attended the Marine Gar- dung show with the mandate of a critic, writes John James Miller in The Evening News. I am fur- nishing my criticism-and reason- ed conclusions-now.
Brutality?
Candidly. I am not acutely con- cerned about the alleged brutality, which has obsessed many critics- uninformed or otherwise. A man's conception of brutality is really the measure or degree in which his
nervous organism aesthetic taste reacts to some an noyance he witnesses,
íty
or
In my own case I see no brutal- in one boxer "chinning" an- other, if each is fighting fair and taking the risk, as part of the game. Yet I reckon it brutality to put a wild lark in a cage where he beats his poor wings against the bars in his instinct to soar. By the way, this is emblematic of what some folks term "hoping for the best-with Fate loading the dice in the gamble!
Showmanship.
Thus, in assessing the element of brutality, we have first to de- fine how much of the ear-twisting and nose-pulling is simply "leg- .pulling" or showmanship.

Take the favourite stunt grabbing an opponent and throw- ing him through the ropes, or over them. I consider that thia "through the ropes" is simply a concession
the spectacular. Common sense dictates that if it is part of the game that a man can be thrown out of the ring in- tentionally, then there need not be any lopes at all. Again, if it is permissible so to do, the man throwing the other outside should not be barred from following him
and chasing him

If the ropes are meant as a bar rier then the "All-in" contest should be "all-inside." and the barrier not rope but an iron frame, covered with reinforced netting, strong enough and high enough to keep the gladiators inside. part of the show is admittedly risky, but essentially silly-a con- cession, as I have said, to the spec tacular.
