Sees Art and BeautyIn Wrestling Match
Mrs. Inez Haynes liwin,wife of Will Invin, writer andwar correspondent, witnessedthe recent Steilier-Santelwrestling mat ill in San I -Cisco, and MM in it not onlyiIn- manifestation of the•\u25a0iri ii^Hi of trained imiNcles,but also a benuty that be-longs to tin- world of art.
Mrs. Irvvin, who has writ-ton many stories under theluune of Iniv li.'iji.i's <;il-more, saw Willie Ilii. hi.- andTommy Murphy box in 1015,and wrote a story about it.Here Is her view of the wrest-
ling match at 'Frisco:Of course I was Impressed In
this wrestling contest with thesame thing that Impressed me Inthe boxing contest that I saw—the extreme beauty of trained mo-tion. It seems to me, looking atit as an amateur observer, thatboxing Is more swift and thrilling,more picturesque, and wrestlingmore terrific, more Impressive andmore sculpturesque.
I felt, as 1 looked at Santel andSteelier, a little of what I thinkmust be the despair of the sculp-tor when he Razes on all athleticevents which depend upon physicalstruggle lor effect. Those twomen made, In the course of theafternoon, a thousand group com-positions which only Rodin, itseemed to me, could do justice to—Rodin or Michael Angelo or theGreek sculptorß.
A Titanic Struggle.In boxiug 1 got the imprehsion
of a human frieze, flowing fromone pose to another, like water;and there, somehow (and 1 admitthis might he the Umltsttion ofone who belongs to a ccx that isnot commonly struck), 1 did notget so great an impression of phys-ical agony. But in wrestlingthere is an effect of a titanic andterrific struggle—a kind of agony.
One gets a new idea, too, of thebeauty of human flesh, smooth assatin, glowing in the final perfec-tion of condition and burstingwith the energy of muscles thatchange the contour of the torsolike the ripples of water.
You felt the slow, quiet, grim,accumulative power of StechePJust preceding the first fal!. Hiscombination of height anil iinisclftand persistence seemed irresistibleeven then.
