Two games will be played i'll the bowl
ing tourney at Foley's this week:
This evening the West side club will
meet the SUBMITS, and on Wednesday
evening the Phoenix Athletic cluo will
meet the Wabasha. Both games promise
to be exciting, and all the contestants
are in daily practice for the events.
IL
Friday evening the battle of the
OlymDian gladiatorS will occur al the
Olympic theater. Moth and King will
meet in q catci-aS-catcl-ca contest.
Both are in active training, and each
realizes that he must be in the best pos
sible physical condition in order TO win.
Moth is working at the Phoenix
Athletic club, and his work is
watched every day by crowd of inter-
ested spectators. Saturday there was
crowd of prominent ladies at the club
rooms while Moth was going through
his daily exercise. Moth realizes that
he must be in perfect trim. He is to go
against the worlds champion at mixed
styles. and. il should be explained,
catch-aS- catch-can includes every style
of wrestling. There is Gr@co-Roman,
collar and elbow. Cornish, side hold.
back hold yes, everything on the car
pet. Every lock known to the science
is proper and legitimate.
II
King, with his little trainer, is at Fort
Smelling lifting himself for the supreme
effort of his life There is prevailing
opinion that he can win if he gets into
condition. He is some twenty pounds
the heavier of the two, and while he
may lack all around experience, he has
youthfulness and strength to back him.
He is only twenty-three, while Moth Is
thirty-four. King. it is true, has not
been wrestling many years, but he has
won wonderful record Oh the carpet.
He defeated everybody at San Fran
cisco, and he appeared before all athletic
clubs there for good big purses. Then
he wreStled in Portland, Seattle. Ia
coma, Spokane, Denver. Omaha. Butte
City and Helena, and was successful in
every instance. He met his first water
loo this year when he undertook to cope
with Moth at Gr9co-Roman style week
ago last Friday. This is the style that
Moth is the master of. He stands ready
tie meet any man living, i'll other words,
and for any amount, at Gr8co-Roman,
just as Jack King stands ready to meet
all corners i'll fiVeStyle match.

John ID. Mcpherson, the worlds
champion at shot putting, will challenge
the winner of Friday nights wrestling
match He has hacker who will post
800 forfeiture Friday night after the
Moth-King battle. and he is already in
training with the expectation of getting
OIL the match. He weighs about the
same as Moth, and is therefore some
twenty-five pound lighter than King.

A tug Of war contest is one of the
events promised for the near future.
Capt. Nelson, who led the doughty
Danes in last winters tournament. has
his team and they are i'll
daily training. They expect TO defeat
all adversaries this winter The Pho
nix Athletic club is fixed for tug of war
bouts, and it is not unlikely that the llrSg
battles of the season will be fought
there.

Nook Richards is not satisfied with
the decision given by Refere Barnes at
Friday evenings glove contest at the
Olympic. He feels that 1t should have
been draw. TO GLOBE reporter he
said yesterday that he did not don the
mIts to knock out Dick Moore.
The latter is the repudiated welter-
weight champion of st. Panl. and Rich
ards went Oh as an amateur, solely with
a view to stay the eight rounds. With
this explanation, it must he confessed
that Richards made good showing.
The match has excited deal OF com
ment, and TO settle the matter Richards
yesterday posted 500 with ii. A. Stone,
the jeWeler at 800 jackson street, for
glove contest for $500. to come off within
six weeks. AS MoOre's friends are san
guine of his superior prowess, there is
little question that the match will be
arranged in a day or so. Should Moore
fail to respond, however, Richards asks
any other exponent of the Delsarte
movement of his weight to cover the
forfeiture.
The South st. Paul Cyclone is looking
for a boxing contest. He says he is
ready TO meet any heavyweight in st.
Paul, Charley Moth preferred. Moth is
just now wrestling rather than boxing,
so it is not likely that anything can be
arranged between the two for a time.
However, Jack Ryan is aching to 20 on,
and something may develop. Later
Moth will be ready for any of 'em, too.
II
The glove contest between Frank
Danias and Jack Mccarthy that had
been set for last Friday evening has
been indefinitely postponed. Danias
recently went to Sioux City to give an
exhibition with another lightweight of
some celebrity, and on boarding train
Dainas was thrown off and badly in
jured. Both feet were crippled and his
shoulder badly hurt. AS soon as he can
get himself into trim he will put on the
mits with Mccarthy. They will prob
ably box before the Phoenix Athletic
club.

There were some pretty good scores
recorded by the bowling clubs the past
week at Amort's:
