CARPET SPORTS.
1t is very evident that wrestling will not
again become a popular sport in this city.
PEARSON" Davies has been making great
endeavOrS TO bring carpet sports up to
paying standard, but ii is extremely doubt
ful if he Will succeed. He las arranged
meeting between Mcleod and Evan Lewis,
TO take place at some large hall yet to be
named. 1t will be repetition of the con-
test between Joe Acton and Jimmy Faulk-
ner, in which the more powerful man had
an easy victory, Notwithstanding the fact
that both men are equally SCienced in this
art. Every sporting man who knows any
thing of wrestling Is we'll aware that Lewis
can throw Mcleod as often as he pleases,
consequently a contest between these two
men would be of little or no interest to an
audience composed of critics on wrestling.
On next Saturday evening the Young
Mems Christian Association of Oakland
will play its deciding game Of football.
Fred Began and Pete Shea are matched to
fight at the Seattle Athletic Club on the
Goth inst. They will do battle at 125 pounds.
THE GALATEA.
The racing sails and spars Of the Galatea,
which have been stored in this country
since the ayflower-Galatea race for the
America cup, have arrived at Glasgow.
The main boom will be cut plumb 10 the
taffrail, and new mainsail will be made
for the cutter
The prospect Of an interesting contest
between Mcleod and Lewis is very slim in
deed, when Joe Acton, who is more eXpe-
renced wrestler and a heavier man than
Mcleod, refused to meet the stranger"
unless the latter would consent to reduce to
within five or eight pounds of his weight.
