 John Fleming, the Butcher Boy" had hard task with Charley Kamerer who tackled him last night. Kamerer permitted Fleming to utilize all his strength and skill in turning him, Kamerer, on his back. Fleming applied hold after hold, which were broken. This was the order of things until at the eighth minute, when with a firm quarter Nelson Piening rolled Kamerer over and pressed one shoulder to the mat. He held him in this position for a minute, when Kamerer dropped to a bridge and was thrown. The time was minutes and 15 seconds. Harry Shaeffer of Brooklyn went against Fleming in the afternoon. The meet ing was brimfull of excitement. Pien- ing had a harder job than he bargained for, but eventually won the day by applying a full Nelson, which Shaeffer could not dislodge. The bout lasted 10 minutes and 32 seconds.

Luttbeg put Dumont's shoulders to the mat after three minutes. but the latter said that the fall was not a fair one and he received another chance. Lutt- beg had to down his rival twice more before he would give in. The actual time of the fray was minutes and 14 seconds. Tn his afternoon essay Luttbeg met Carl Schmidt who by clever mar2slvering managed to stay the limit fifteen minutes. The deci- sion was a draw.
