 Max Luttheg, the St Louis light weight wrestler, was unsuccessful in his attempt last night at the Lon don theater on the Bowery to throw two men inside of twenty minutes.

They sauirmed and tossed all over the mat. 1 Finally at the end of ten minutes | Luttbeg took a rest and then tackled 1 Jim Kelly, heavyweight Kelly was clever, and q spirited tilt ensued. 1 Luttbeg used all his skill, but Kelly was as immovab1e as a stone wall l At the end of the time limit he was | still up and doing. Jones is slated to meet Luttbeg again tomorrow night. Both matches were at catch as catch can. George Bothner said last night that there is no truth in the report that he is to meet Luttbeg this week.
