The first preliminary bout will be put on at S:30 o'clock and will be preceded by bag-punching ex- hibition by Dal Jeffries, the oklahoma Spider''
 Two men last night tackled Max Luttbeg. the St Louis lightweight, who is meeting all corners at the London theater this week. Luttberg's first op- ponent was Charlie Keening. the Michigan Cyclone" Keening was pretty nearly in the heavyweight divis- ion. After twelve minutes Luttbeg se- cured half Nelson and put his op- ponent's shoulders to the mat. His other opponent lasted only one min ute.
 Local lovers of the wrestling game will be interested to know that Harvey Parker will soon be back in Brockton. and will doubtless appear in a match or two here. Parker is due in Brook lyn about March 9, and John T Little will meet him there. It is possible that both may appear for short time in exhibition wrestling in some of the playhouses in that city. Either will make a match with any of the top notchers that are willing to try conclu- slons with them. At any rate, Parker will come here and train for champion snip honors at the end of his theatrical season. Little will be his training partner.-Brockton Times.
 Captain Duncan O. Ross. the famous athlete. who is giving fencing and wrestling matches in9Maine, met with one of the toughest propositions in his career at Oldtown aofew days ago. when he went up against Big Musk rat, the champion boxer, wrestler and all-round athlete of the Penobscot tribe l or indians, whose reservation is at this place. Ross advertises on his post CTS 10 give p cents q minute to all corners whom he fails to throw. Thus Tar III his tour he has met but few and disposed of them all easily. When the announcement was made here the h. dlan champion eagerly accepted if. Dut III T IeW days training and was ready to meet Captain Ross Ross is not his old-time self. being sadly out of train ing and over fat. The Indian is a won derful specimen of brawn and muscle, is young buck. quick as q cal and l with 1a,1cr U having downed everything on the river. including lots of big log jams. The l exhibition took place in OldtoWn city nall. and people came from miles around to see it. The Indian appeared III buckskin trousers and moccasins, while Captain Ross wore the familiar scarlet tights. At the call of time for the three bouts of catch-as-catch-can the Indian was on his burly antagon- lst like a panther. and came near SCOT ing fall on the first clinch. The con- test was a terrible one. While Ross had the advantage in weight. strength and science, the Indians marvellous I quickness and splendid physical condi- tion soon commenced to fell on tha ny- champion, and in about 40 minutes' l wrestling the Indian succeeded in mo- mentarily getting his opponents points on the mat. although he failed to hold for two seconds in every instance. The referee called falls, however. amid con- siderable protest. After the bout Ross offered to wager S10O that he could throw the Indian three times in five minutes but found no takers. If is expected that match will be ar- ranged, in which case the entire wam- Dum in the tribe will be placed on inc big buck. whose English name is Jos eph Mitchell.
