This tendency is often noticed in mat men after they have been grappling for several years, and Ed "Strangler" Lewis, one of the many claimants to the world's tlUe, has a theory of his own as to the cause. Lewis says he suffers from this eye affliction, and so does Qua Sonnenberg, another top-notcher in the wrestling art. In fact, Sonnenberg Is obliged to wear heavy glasses when not wrestling. Lewis contends that the eye trouble started with a germ brought from India by Jatrinde Gobar, heavyweight wrestler who invaded this country some five or six years ago. The disease is known to medical science as trachoma or granulation of the eye-lids. It was unknown, Lewis insists, until Go-bar. who was troubled that way, spread the Infection here. Howard Cantonwine, another heavyweight wrestler, has had the same trouble and he agrees wtth Lewis' theory. Cantonwine's eyes caused him so much pain that he went to a specialist in Germany. The germ knows no favorites and most wrestlers try to ward it off by the frequent application of salt solutions.
