Sees Art and Beauty In Wrestling Match Mrs. Inez Haynes liwin, wife of Will Invin, writer and war correspondent, witnessed the recent Steilier-Santel wrestling mat ill in San I - Cisco, and MM in it not only i In- 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 the luune of Iniv li.'iji.i's <;il- more, saw Willie Ilii. hi.- and Tommy 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 the same thing that Impressed me In the boxing contest that I saw— the extreme beauty of trained mo- tion. It seems to me, looking at it as an amateur observer, that boxing Is more swift and thrilling, more picturesque, and wrestling more terrific, more Impressive and more sculpturesque. I felt, as 1 looked at Santel and Steelier, a little of what I think must be the despair of the sculp- tor when he Razes on all athletic events which depend upon physical struggle lor effect. Those two men made, In the course of the afternoon, a thousand group com- positions which only Rodin, it seemed to me, could do justice to —Rodin or Michael Angelo or the Greek sculptorß. A Titanic Struggle. In boxiug 1 got the imprehsion of a human frieze, flowing from one pose to another, like water; and there, somehow (and 1 admit this might he the Umltsttion of one who belongs to a ccx that is not commonly struck), 1 did not get so great an impression of phys- ical agony. But in wrestling there is an effect of a titanic and terrific struggle—a kind of agony. One gets a new idea, too, of the beauty of human flesh, smooth as satin, glowing in the final perfec- tion of condition and bursting with the energy of muscles that change the contour of the torso like the ripples of water. You felt the slow, quiet, grim, accumulative power of StecheP Just preceding the first fal!. His combination of height anil iinisclft and persistence seemed irresistible even then.
