STAYED THE LIMIT.
Munroe Won Wrestling Bout With
Jenkins.

Jack Munroe, the miner from Butte.
Mont, and Tom Jenkins Of Cleveland, Ohio.
met in handicap wrestling bout in Madi-
son Square Garden, New York, last night.
Jenkins agreed to pin the miners Shout
ders to the mat four times in one hour.
The Clevelander worked hard. but the best
he could do was to gain three falls.
The work of Munroe was a surprise to all.
He was anxious to get to close quarters and
was always willing to meet Jenkins. Two
times during the bouts Munroe had the big
wrestler in a bad way, and it was only by
using all his skill and strength that the
veteran succeeded in slipping out OF a fall.
The first bout went to jenkins In 10 min
utes and 81 seconds. The fall was gained
on half Nelson. After hard work, Jen-
kins got the second fall In 20 minutes and
seconds. During this bout Munroe won
over the crowd by his willingness to mix
matters with his opponent. Jenkins was on
the defensive quite as much as Munroe.
In the third bout Munroe showed that he
was a novice at the game. He got care
less, and jenkins caught him In a full Mel
son and won the fall In 20 minutes and 3
seconds.
For the fourth fall Jenkins had minutes
and seconds. He started after the miner
to finish him up quickly. Munroe put up
pretty defense and lasted out

FAST WRESTLING.
Burns and Grant Do Skillful Work in
Baltimore.

There was a three-auarter-fuu house at
the Germania Maennerchor Hall, Balti-
more last night, the attraction being the
wrestling bout between Farmer Burns and
the Russian Giant Carl Schmidt. The
giant was never in Burns class. He ap-
peared with badly lacerated left arm. but,
to the surprise Of the spectators, put up
quite good defensive bout. Burns won
two falls in II minutes Of wrestling, but
the giant made him exert himself to do it.
and the giant won applause several times
because Of his dexterous work in getting
out Of tight places.
Joe Grant Of this city was down in the
preliminaries to throw three men within
half an hour Of actual wrestling time, and
more than fulfilled his contract. He was
the recipient Of much applause when he was
brought on the stage. His first opponent
was Prof Al Hoover. 1t took Grant ~
minutes to throw Hoover. He threw him
in less time, but the first fall was off the
mat and did not count. Andrew Smith was
the second gladiator, and Andrew proved
to be quite a shifty defensive wrestler 1t
took Grant minutes to pin his shoulders
down. George Dorm was the last of the
trio. He was up against nice proposition
To cause Grants defeat he had to stay "a
minutes and 45 seconds. He tried to do it.
but was thrown in minutes and 40 sec
onds. making Grants total time in throw
ing three mel minutes anu SO seconds.

NEW YORK GROUNDS.
Big Job Ahead Of the American League
to Fix Up Park.

It will require the expenditure Of large
amount Of money to put the new American
League grounds, in New York, in shape by
April 30. This was the opinion expressed
yesterday by a city surveyor who went to
Broadway and 165th street to officially look
over the property. But former Police In
spector Thomas F. McAvoy, who is the
Tammany district leader in that locality
and who will have the contract for building
part Of the grounds. said that everything
would be ready in time for the opening Of
the season. Joseph Gordon. the president Of
the new club. was on the ground as early as
o'clock comforting with McAvoy Half
hundred open-mouthed ball cranks were
there, too figuring out how the place would
look when the work had been finished
At glance the visitors to the proposed
grounds realized that the contractors have
difficult task to handle. It can truthfully
be said that there Is not a level spot ten
feet square on the whole property running
from 165th street to 16Sth street, north and
south. and from Broadway to Fort Wash
ington road. east and west. From Broad
way looking west the ground starts In a
low swamp filed with water, runs up into
a ridge of rocks, perhaps twelve or fifteen
feet above the level Of Broadway. From the
top of the ridge the land slopes Off gradually
toward Fort Washington road. AS the
property Is today 1t will be necessary to
q
slice of eight feet or more. This rock viii
be used to fill in the low part Of the ground.
bringing 1t up to level with the reduced
ridge. There are about 100 trees to be pull
ed up by the roots. Contractor McAvoy win
probably begin operations on Monday and
will put large gang Of men to work before
noon.
President Gordon said yesterday that the
e.randstand would be built at the southwest
corner OF the grounds and that the playing
field would be shaped in a northeasterly d.
rection. The field will slope tri1e toward
the outf1eld, as temporary arrangement
to carry on the water. Mr.. Gordon also said
there would be plenty OF room for ball play
ing and spectators by April 80, after which
the work OF completing the big arena would
DO continued. The field, when finished. will
be the largest OF its kind in America There
will be room for a half mile cinder track for
athletic contests or track for cycling In
the middle Of 1t there will be a foot bah
gridiron. around which stands can be built
to seat 5000 spectators It Is believed that
Mr.. Gordon will make these improvements

BIG POOL MATCH.
Clearwater and Ely to Play Game Of
$50 Balls.

An event which should concern all who
take a special interest in pool and billiards
win occur in the billiard rooms OF the Ma
tional Hotel Monday evening next, when
Grant Eby, the present pool champion Of
the world, VIII play 150-point game with
Frank Clearwater. Clearwater won the
worlds. championship at an open tourna-
ment about year ago. and was promptly
challenged and defeated by Eby. This
tournament. while an open one, was not
participated in by either De Orc, who at
that time held the championship. or Frank
Sherman of this city, who had previously
held the title thus FORGETTING all rights In
the matter to Clearwater. Both men have
been practicing at the National Hotel for
some days past, and their work with the
worries has ELECTED much comment. Both
men are rated as about even by many and
the contest should develop into a spirited
affair. After the game there will be an ex-
hibition of fancy shots. both with the cue
and with the fingers.
