The Coming Wrestling Match
and the Benefit to Prof.
Lindley.

The principal sporting event of the
present week will be the catch-aS-catch-
can wrestling match between Charley
Moth and Jack King at the Olympic
theater on Friday evening. There is
great deal of interest taken in the affair,
and each man is placing himself In his
best condition. Moth is training at the
Phoenix Athletic club as usual. The
paraphernalia there is particularly con-
uucive to the work of a wrestler. The
track for running. the bowling alleys,
The punching" ball, pulleys and
weights, are all Of the modern makes,
and calculated TO reduce the athlete to
proper trim. King is training AT Fort
Smelling. for he maintains that outdoor
exercise is more Salutary than indoor
work. lie expects to go upon the carpet
Friday evening at $50 pounds,
Or considerably less in weight than
he has heretofore wrestled III
St. Paul. He appreciates the fact that
he is TO meet one of the most dangerous
Hrestlers in the arena of today, and he
is determined to win renOWn by defeat
ing him if possible. Moth, on the other
hand, knows that he cannot afford TO
overlook a single opportunity. The
worlds fair sports the coming summer
and the fat purses that are to be hung
I'D, is an inducement sufficient for any
one who cOntemplates participating In
them to 20 to Chicago with the best rec
ord that he can win meanwhile.
The last time these gladiators met
they gave positive proof Of their wonder
full proweSS, respectively. True, they
failed of conclusions. The match was
draw, but Friday night the fight is GER
4ain to go to finish. for the reason that
each is anxious to settle the question of
superiority. The stakes ale 500 side,
and the money has already been de-
posted in the hands of DR.. Frank Pow
ell. the White Beaver. The winner
will also receive 70 per cent of the gate
money, and the house 25 per cent.
Manager Robinson, of the Olympic, de
cided that this would be fairer basis
upon which to do business than 10 give
purse out and out. In other words. he
wants the men to earn what they get
and take their own chances. They are
eminentiy satisfied with the arrange
. ment, however. for they have faith In
their power to draw.
r.
This event is to be followed by a
weeks engagement at the Olympic .Of
Evan Lewis, the STRANGER" and ID. A.
Mcmillan. They will give wrestling
exhibitions in all styles each night, and
they will meet all corners. Lewis is the
champion of the world at catch-as-catch
can style, and Mcmillan is disputing the
five-style championship with Jack King.
Moth will engage to meet either Lewis
or Mcmillan at Gr&co-Roman style,
while King will engage them at mixed
styles. Besides it is expected that one
or two WreStlerS from abroad will be
here to win or 90 to defeat.

The clever little Appleton brothers
are to give weeks engagement ut the
Olympic. They are not only wonder
fully skilled with the gloves, but they
are immensely popular with the public.
They seldom go on but what the stage is
stormed with silver coin.

Since Thursday night the popular
theme of converse between admirers of
athletics has been the wonderful eXhi-
bitiOn given at the Phoenix at that time
by Dick Moore and Tommy Murray. 1t
proweSS so evenly matched ever meet
in the arena. Opinion seems to be
about evenly divided OH the question of
superiority. Some claim that one scored
the most points, while others are just as
positive that the other had the best of
it. 1t is more than likely that they will
meet again in the near future, and Ger
tain it is that they would prove good
card. Indeed, there is talk of sending
them to New York OF New Orleans.
where they can go before a club for
genuine business and big purse.

Curtis W. Lindley and James Bruce
Encell will exhibit in Roman broad
sword assault at the Phoenix Club Field
day in June. The armor is being made
for the principals in New York, and will
consist of the leg and arm piece, the
shield and helmet. The club will spare
no pains to make this assault" one of
the most sumptuous ever given in the
Northwest. The ancient gladiatOrS
were slaves-freedOm given them after
a number of victories. AS the linen
would fall from loss of blood, the
crowded amphitheater would yell out,
1.-THE gods must have a sacrifice" Mod
ern fencing in the Roman style is a
pleasing picture. A contestant falls
from mere exhaustion because he is
more skillful i'll stopping the terrific
cuts.

The DAILY GLOBE bowling tourna-
ment, as has often been asserted, has
proven one of the most felicitOuS events
in all the recreative diversions ever put
on in the state. Some seventy-fiVe per
formers or more have participated in it.
Each club, and there were nine of them,
had the opportunity to play ten men,
but not all of them improved it. The
challenge series for the heavy silver
and goId-trimmed tankard is held in
allegiance That is to say, it will not
begin until the second prize shall have
been landed, for with this prize goes the
first challenge right. The next play
off will be at Foley's tomorrow evening,
and it will be between the Columbus
and the Wabashas. Then the winners
will play the SUBMITS Thursday even
