JENKINS THROWS MUNROE
THREE TIMES AND LOSES
Miner Wrestler Saved Himself From
the Fourth and Last Fall.

NEW YORK, March 14.--Tom Jenkins.
the champion catch-as-catch-can wres-
tier. threw Jack Munroe, the miner
pugilist Of Butte. three times in an
hour at Madison Square Garden last
night and yet he lost the match Jen-
kins contracted TO throw the fighter
four times in one hour, and he tried
hts best to do II.
But the miner was a tough proposi-
ton. He understood more aboat the
wrestling game than Jenkins thought
he did His speed saved him, for he
sprinted around on the 7O-foot mat as
II he were in a football game. and Jen-
kins after him until he was out OF
breath.
When the hour was up they were
locked on the ground. with jenkins grad
uaIly perfecting a half-Neison. with
which in another minute he would have
scored again.
Never in the history of wrestling in
this country have men been on a mat
under conditions so advantageous for
themselves and for those who had come
to see.
On the soft dirt floor Of the Garden
a vast mat. seventy feet square. had
been spead, and with the exception OF
a few officials who occupied positions
fifty feet or more from the edge OF the
mat. no one was on the main floor of
the building, except the struggling men
and Tim Hurst. the referee.
A few minutes before 10 o'clock they
appeared enveloped in bathrobes. Jen-
kins came first and was cheered. but a
When they stood stripped of their
bathrobes their difference in build was
noticeable. Jenkins. low and heavy set.
with vast breadth of shoulder and short
heavy legs. looked like a catch-as-c catch
can champin. But Munroe looked more
ike a boxer. His muscles were big and
heavy, and his back and chest were
broad. but his arms were long and
swinging from side to side with the
case Of a skilled pugilist.
They looked and acted respectively
like a heavy ferocious determined bull
dog that insisted on giving battle TO
Great Dane that was not particularly
anxious for bout.
In the FIRST fall Jenkins chased Nun
roe over the mat striving for a hold.
He pleaded with Munroe to stand still,
then he backed into the miner. who
still refused TO take hold At last
Jenkins dashed IN. took a leg hold and
began to maneuver for a Nelson. Twice
he got IL but each time Munroe escaped.
A waist hold with which he turned
Munroe completely over. was changed 10
a half Nelson and Munroe was squeezed
10 the mat in nineteen minutes.
The second fall was scored with a
barrack hold. Munroe bridged, but IL
was broken down
A half Nelson scored the third fall
Twice Munroe had Jenkins near the
mat but the champion wriggled away
each time.
