Omaha daily bee., 1899-11-12

will probably accommodate him for the third
time. but not until sharkey shall have had
ample time to prepare for the encounter and
recuperate himself. 1t may be that Fitzsim-
mons or Corbett will venture to enter the
ring with Jeffries, as both are anxious to
retrieve themselves.
1t was too bad that in Omaha where sport
ing interests come with such infreauency,
local interest had to divide between a boxing
carnival and a wrestling match Thursday
night. BY coincidence, however, the two
events were scheduled on the same time
with the result that the fstic entertainment
had to yield to the wresters because of the
abbreviated attendance. In the wrestling
match Dan Baldwin easily carried away the
honors, Telling his opponent, Mike Grove, in
the second and third bouts without apparent
difficulty. Grove is a big, strapping, muscu-
lar fellow whose muscles seemed like iron
in the struggle to defeat the champion
Baldwin But he was unequal to the task.
After the first bout he suffered from lack
of wind. His breathing was forced and
strained and after playing with him until
his breath came with such labored effort
Baldwin deftly threw him and his shoulders
squarely touched the mat.
Carl Brown, a wrestler who is we'll known
throughout the west, writes the sporting
editor from Deadwood that he is anxious to
arrange match with any two Omaha
wrestlers. Dan Badwin's prowess has
floated out to the Black Hills and Brown,
confident in his own strength, not only wants
to meet Baldwin but also will try conclusions
with any other wrestler on the same night
Brown has a match with Bert Schiller at
Hastings on November II and intends to
visit Omaha after that time.
A first class program of fistic encounters
had been arranged for the puglistic enter
tainment Thursday night but postponement
was made necessary, because the crowd was
not large enough to pay actual expenses in
Cured in arranging the event. On November
10, however, the program will be given ac-
cording to the schedule announced The con-
tests will be strictly scientific exhibitions
of the boxers art. Mcintyre of Lincoln and
Kid McFadden of Chicago, will go six rounds
at 1873 pounds; Jack Lawson OF Kansas City
and Billy Brown of Omaha are scheduled
at 11S pounds for four-round bout; Benny
Stone of California and Fred Munsey Of St.
Louis, 126 pounds, are down for four round
CO. The grand battle royal will give five
colored boxers q chance to distinguish them
selves in three rounds A wrestling match
between Oscar Mast and the Little Jap will
enliven things before the wind-up when
Young Corbett of Denver and Harry Brant of
st. Louis at 122 pounds will give fifteen
round exhibition.
