CARROLL DEFEATED HEATING.
Good Match Last Night-D Dwyer and
 Kelly Come to Terms.

At a revival of wrestling in local circles at Jacques Auditorium last evening, Thomas J. Carroll of New York city defeated Henry Heating of this city in two straight falls. The l first fall was won in s 1-2 minutes and the second in minutes. In the pre- l liminary match John Fox of Brooklyn and Kid Luke, a local wrestler of rep utation, appeared. According to the l conditions of the match it was de- clared a draw after neither man had scored a fall in thirty minutes. Both bouts were refereed by Professor M J. Dwyer. Ed l.. Cowles was announ- I cer.
 The Auditorium presented cheer less and cold appearance. In the words of the sporting fraternity, the bouts l last evening were a frost as to attend ance. There were scarcely more than 100 spectators present. It was enough to discourage the wrestlers to see on every side rows of empty seats. In Carson City there were two lone l occupants, while near the mat that number was slightly increased. Sev- eral announcements were made before the preliminary match. After Pro- lessor M. J. Dwyer had been intro- l duced as referee. the well known l wrestler made a statement concerning his challenge to John Kelly of this city and the subsequent events It is unnecessary to repeat these things in- asmuch as the readers of the Demo- crat are thoroughly familiar with them. The substance was that he would be present at the Democrat of lice this morning to clinch a match ln- der the conditions suggested by Kelly. q. Perrie of Boston, the professors manager and wrestling partner was introduced as the champion heavy weight thrower of the world. He challenges any heavyweight wrestler ln the country to meet him in mixed 1 style match for $50 or more. Both men were warmly cheered by the small audience.
 It was about 9 o'clock when Fox and Luke appeared. After half hours hard work in which Luke was the ag- gressor during most of the time. the I bout was declared a draw. Luke ap- l peared to be much stronger than his 1 opponent, was better aggressor and l showed much cleverness in breaking l strong holds and in wriggling out of tight places. Fox was very quick and active, good in getting fine holds. but not strong or clever enough to use 1 them to advantage. He did but little aggressive work during the evening. I Luke was naturally the favorite with the audience. After an intermission of fifteen minutes the principals in the main bout appeared According to the conditions of the match the men agreed to weigh in at 145 pounds. Carroll weighed 15O 1-2 pounds and thus forfeited $25. Keatfng's weight was 143 1-2 pounds. But to the - spectators Carroll appeared to be about 15 pounds heavier than his opponent. The match was for side stake of $1O0. After a little preliminary fid- ding, the men started to wrestle iii warm shape. It was at once seen that Heating would have to do some re- markable work if he wished to win as Carroll was far too strong and pow erful for him. On various occasions Heating secured clever holds. but ow- ing to the superior weight and strength of his opponent they were made use less. Carroll showed himself a clever fellow. In the first few minutes Carroll took the defensive and let Heating do the work After five or six minutes Carroll gained the upper hand and started to gain the first fall. He had Keating in a dangerous posi- ton several times, but Henry's clever ness and agility saved him from fall.
 After several minutes Carroll got a
 strong hold held Keating on his head l fr,, 1,:. shoulders to the mat after SIP min
 utes of good wrestling.
 After an intermission of ten minutes the men again appeared. Heating
 showed to better advantage this time,
 but Carroll's superior weight and
 strength were an obstacle impossible for him to overcome. He almost se-
 cured fall several times. This fall was almost a repetition of the first.
 Both men secured half Nelsons, etc,
 only to have them broken. The sec
 ond fall was secured by Carroll in 9
 minutes with body and arm hold.
 The bout was rather satisfactory to
 the spectators, but it would have been more so if Heating had won.
 Challenges were flying around on all sides last evening. Besides Per- ries challenge, Heating, before his bout with Carroll, had announced that , he would challenge Kelly if he won.
 Thomas J. Carroll had private talk with Professor Dwyer and stated he , would match his man against the pro- E lessor for a side bet of $25O. The professor assented to the proposition
 and the men will meet later to ar range the conditions of the match. Af-
 ter the Carroll Heating bout, Carroll's manager, Brown, saw Kelly and asked Z him for a match. Kelly said such a match would be all right after he has finished with two matches for which ], arrangements are now being complet- ], ed. Professor Dwyer also issued cha1-
 lenge in behalf of Danny McCarthy,
 the popular wrestler of the Brooklyn A. c. He would like to arrange a match with Kelly's wrestling partner, Roach. The professor stated that such 5 a match would be a good preliminary F to his bout with Kelly.
