KING AND ZOBEL,
The Great Catch as Catch-Can
Wrestling Match at the Olympic.

The Great Catch as Catch-Can
Wrestling Match at the olympic.
A considerable amount of money will
be placed on the coming wrestling coll
test at the Olympic theater in view of
the immense popularity OF both King
and Zobel. Manager Abbey, who is
holding the money which has been bet
by a number of the friends of King and
Zobel, has about $500 in his possession at
present and much more is expected. 1t
is claimed by the friends of King that
Zobel is ringer" that is to say, he is
a man who is an expert wrestler, but has
never let the fact become public in
this city. 1t is stated that he
won number of contests in
various parts of the country but has
never had one in st. Paul. 1t is also
said that he has always WTestled under
some name other than his own. All of
these things tend towards all interest
ing match. which will probably call out
the biggest house ever seen in st. Paul
at the Olympic. The friends of both of
the men are putting their money up
freely, and the bets will foot up to a
large amount.
King is saying nothing, but is train
ing hard at Fort Smelling, while Zobel
Is training at the Phoenix Athletic club.
They are working hard in expectation
of all exciting contest in which all of
their strength will be used. Both men
are in the pink Of condition and will
work hard for a victory.

IT WAS A FAKE.
COrbett and Sullivan Did Not
Meet in a Train Yesterday
Morning.
The Champion and Mitchell May
Sign Articles in st.
Paul.

The Chicago papers yesterday con-
tanned a graphic and somewhat lengthy
account Of the meeting of Champion
jim Corbett and the defeated John l..
on the st. Paul train from Chicago to
Milwaukee, where the two great pugil-
lists were billed to show, the former for
q week and the latter for three nights
stand. The article told in sort of sus-
pended-bIeath manner that the great
eX-champion donned his overcoat and,
with flushed cheek and flashing eye,
started toward his conquerOr twice, and
twice fell back into his chair, muttering
oaths and threats which no one could
understand, but after consultation
with Manager Brady he arose for
'l'll do it," walked up behind the
champion while the trainmen and minor
theatrical folks held their breath in eX-
pectation of a grand fStic encounter.
Corbett was not aware of the presence
of the erstwhile gladiator, but was
calmly looking at the landscape out Of
the window, but when john l.. stopped
before him showed no signs of nervous
ness, and, calmly looking him in the
eye, awaited developments. John didn't
smash Jim, but extended his right hand,
which was cordially grasped by Jim.
Every one gave sigh Of relief, and the
two fighting actors sat down to have
pleasant chat with each other. ~
This is the story as told by the Chica-
go papers, but Sam Thall, the advance
representative of James j. Corbett in
Gentleman Jack" who arrived in the
city last evening. declares the entire
article without foundation, having left
Chicago with the Corbett company on
an entirely different line from the one
the Sullivan combination took. He fur

SCRAPS OF SPORT.

Jules Mayer. the biiliardist, who has
been located at Tom Foley's place for
upwards of a year, has severed his con-
nection and gone to Duluth to take
charge of a large billiard room there.
Jules, outside of VIII HALEY, is the
best billiardist in the Northwest, and
he has host of friends in the Twin
Cities who wish HIM we'll in the Zenith
city. Joe Kramer, who was Jules
assistant for several months last year,
has succeeded him at Foley'S.
Next Saturday evening at least two
Kinks will start from st. Paul to attend
the Winnipeg bonspiel. These will be
the Netteton and Mcmillan Kinks, two
of the strongest Kinks in st. Paul. 1t is
expected that they will retrieve the
honors lost to the visitors in the great
Northwestern bonspiel held i'll this city
two weeks ago.
An evening paper has mixed the
GLOBE bowling and the Foley billiard
tournament up sadly. Thomas Foley
gives a high average button for the
GLOBE bowling tournament, and not
for the billiards. It'll one of the pret-
test trophies ever put up, and the win
ner may well feel proud of it.
The next game in the DAILY GLOBE
bowling tournament will be between
the Phoenix Athletic club and the
Columbia next Thursday evening.

OFFICERS ARE ROOMED,
And the War Over City Hall Space
is Over.

is Over.
The joint court house and city hall
committee held an extra session yester-
day and has arranged the perambulat-
ing offices in a way that is satisfactory
to all concerned. The change from the
previous plan is to give the present
quarters of the county surveyor to the
health department and move the sur
veyor to the top floor of the building.
This will leave the present office of the
sheriff for the meetings of the board of
county commissioners and the joint
committee. The county treasurer will
90 to the rooms on the Wabasha side OF
the building, the sheriff into the rooms
occupied by the county treasurer. the
chief of police and chief of detectives
will go into the old quarters where the
board of health is located; the board of
control will not be disturbed. The con-
tracts for the improvements necessary
in making the changes were let, and the
remodeling and painting will begin
soon.
The proposition to light the building
by electricity came up with proposition
of the ST. Paul Heat, Light and Power
company to put in 1850 incandescent
lights for $4,000 per year, which is
claimed to be a saving of IS, 1000. 1t was
also stated that the st. Paul Gas COM
pany had agreed to surrender its right
to the former named company. The
matter was referred to the committee
Oh heat and lighting. Itseems that this
move was brought about by the proposed
ordinance to require overhead wires to
go underground within a year. The
probability of passing this ordinance
has caused the Davidson plant to deter
mine to surrender its franchise over the
streets except leading to the court
house. and to turn over its other Gus
toners to the gas company. 1t is
claimed that the Davidson plant will
not go to the expense of putting its
wires underground, as the expense
would be too great

THE COMBINE WORRIED.
And Tuxedo" Proved an Enjoy
able success.


able success.
George Thatcher has made great hit
in his combination of mlnstrelsy and
comedy. One may enjoy little comedy
or little minstrelsy and tire of too
much of either, but one who can find
enjoyment in either will like Tuxedo"
for it is happy combination OF both.
There was good audience at the Met
ropolitan last evening. and an audience
that came to laugh and enjoy itself
That it was not disappointed was evil
dent from the continuous peals of laugh
ter that rang through the house from
one end of the evening to the other.
There is no plot to Tuxedo" A prize
is offered to the person who can find
one. But there is a dizzy mixture
of comedy and minstrelsy that shifts
and turns so rapidly that before one can
weary something new and unexpected
is brought on for his amusement. The
company numbers many familiar faces,
including those OF George Thatcher,
Hughey Dougherty, John A. Coleman,
Charles j. Slime, Alice Evans and
Laura Armstrong, and from such gal
aXy only the best of comedy and min
strelsy could be expected. II is I'M
possible to give any suceinct idea of the
programme, which was a laughable
combination of everything funny in
comedy and enjoyable i'll music. I'm all,
it furnished sufficient pleasure for one
evening, and will be as largely patron
lied for the remaining two nights of the
engagement.

sports at home. In addition to
this finish fight there was a TWEEN
ty-round contest between Kid Hogan,
of Brooklyn, and Dolly Lyons, of New
York. 1t was half-past 8 o'clock before
the first pair of scrappers hoped upon
the stage. They were Lyons and Hogan,
and were accompanied by quite an ar
ray of seconds. They were to fight for
purse of $1,000, the winner to take
$500 and the loser $500. The boys
weighed in at O'clock in the afternoon,
LYONS tipping the scales at 11434, and
Hogan at lis pounds even. The fight
was hot from start to finish, Hogan be-
ing very scientific, but Lyons was the
stronger. and sent his opponent to the
floor several times. There was

and the honors were easy most Of the
time At the end of the twentieth round
the battle was awarded to Lyons, which
met with favor.
There was a slight intermission be-
tween the conclusion of the first fight
and the beginning of the second, and all
hands had a quiet chat with very short
smoke. for they had scarcely gotten I'M
der way when they were requested to
cease smoking and get ready for the
second and finish fight. The fighters

were or the stage before the
announcement was completed. Billy
Murphy, of New Zealand, was &C
companied by his seconds, Martin
Murphy. Charley Koran, Charley Ho-
gan and A. F. Murphy, with Snapper
Garrison as timer. The seconds of
Johnny Griffin were Jimmy Carroll, Phil
Conway and Jack MCGEE, with John
McGrath, of Boston. as timer. Murphy
wore white trunks and black belt, and
Griffin had on red tights and the Amer
lean flag at his belt Griffin was the
favorlte in the betting, but Murphy had
an excellent following.
Refund One-Murphy started in bent
up0n doing his man at once. but Griffin
landed a hard left, which drove Muir
ply back. The round was of the hur-
rcane order, and it was plain that Grif-
lin had more science, but when Murphy
hit it was for keeps.
Murphy Rushed Griffin
to the ropes, covering his mouth with
his hand. Griffin pursued his old tactics
of not going back a step only when
Murphy forced his left and got hard
right for his pains.
Round Two-Gritfin forced the fight
ing, and the liveliest kind of slugging
followed. They went to mitigating
constantly. and the punching was of tine
liveliest kind. Murphy, III one of the
rushes, knocked Griffin clean through
the ropes with his shoulder. and on
another occasion Knocked him to the
floor with his body. Both men fought
rapidly and like gladiators, their blows
landing on each other like hail.
Round Three-Murphy led. Griffin
countered hard left, forcing Murphy
to his knees. When he got up the Brain
tree lad began pounding him, but got a
singing left in the nose which started
the blood. The fight was bull-dog-like
during the balance of the round. They
clinched, punched while locked togeth-
er. and did everything but kick and bite.
The rate they were fighting they could
not last ten rounds. Griffin tried to
throw Murphy, but the ropes saved him
from possible foul. Murphy, instead
of fighting squarely, would run his head
into Griffin's chest. Griffin stopped that

fight was the result of a grudge, and
was regular smuggling match. Blood

Round Four-The game was trfle
hot for Murphy and he adopted shifting
tactics, only closing in when he got
good opening. Griffin had to force the
fighting, and in one of bis mad rushes
he brought his face in contact with Muir
phys head. Murphy was very clever
at long range, but Griffin was aware of
that fact and forced the fighting all he
knew how.
Round Five-Griffin gave Murphy.
some terrific jabs and had him groggy,
forcing him to the floor four tunes.
Murphy had only one hand on which he
depended, which was his right. but the
lad from Braintree was not in its9Way.
Murphy was greggy. He would take
blow after blow square i'll the face and
wait for an opportunity to get in his
right, but Griffin was equally sharp
and he did not get in its way. The
round was not fair fighting, Murphy
continually foullng with his head.

Murphy landed dozen or more right
hand swings OH the side of Griffin's
head, but without effect, while the
uppercuts and straight rights Griffin de-

floor.

do some heavy work, but Griffin met
him with a hard left OH the mouth, and
landed on his nose with his right They
came together like mad bulls, and
Murphy forced Griffin to the floor.
When he arose Murphy went at him,
swinging his arms like windmills. They
rushed each other like demons. when
Griffith shot out his left, which settled
in the pit of Murphy's stomach. Down
he went, groaning. completely Knocked
out. When Murphy was carried to his
chair he fell off, and was held in posi-

the Knockout blow was received the
round had lasted fifteen seconds. Muir
