FINE WRESTLING TOURNEY.
Columbus Won Handicap Match From
Rothuer

large audience was present last night
at GermanIa Maennerchor Hall. Baltimore,
to witness the champion wires ting match,
under the management of Mr.. Charles
Weiss, between George Bothner of New
York. lightweight champion of the world
and holder of the belt, versus Columbus,
or Anthony Wallner. the well-known Bal
timore wrestler The match was handicap
one, catch-as-catch can. Bothner, under
the agreement was to throw Columbus
three times within one hour or lose the
match.
The match was an exciting one and while
1T was clear from the beginning that Co
lumbus, who is the lighter man. was out
classed, still he made gallant defense and
prevented Bothner from throwing MIN the
required three times within an hour The
winner was to take 10 per cent of the re-
ceipts, and the Baltimorean thus saved the
money for his manager. The audience
watched the contest with genuine pleasure,
for the sport was good and the exhibition Of
tactics splendid. 1t was apparent early in
the match that 1t was an honest go and not
a bluff.
Manager Weiss at the end of the second
bout spoke in complimentary terms of the
champion, and said that he would like to
arrange a match between him and Joe
Grant, the Washington wrestler. Both
nerS manager, who was present said that
he was willing to arrange match, but
could not make one with Grant. who Is as
heavy man as Bothner. except for the
championship belt and a $500 side bet. After
some parley Manager Weiss accepted the
terms. and stated that he would arrange
later for date for the match.
Bothner is man of fine physique and is
as agile as a deer His skin is colored a
dark brown by the sun, as he is passionate
ly fond of swimming. and he Is in the best
of condition. 1t was his first visit to Balti-
more city, and he made a splendid impress
sion, not only by his skill, but his manly
actions.
The main event was preceded by several
preliminary matches, which kept the crowd
in good humor. They included a two
round match between Joe Hartman and Joe
Ruben. which was won by Hartman in two
minutes and thirty seconds and three min
utes. respectively. The next event was an
exciting one-bout match between Alfred
Bromley of the Greenmount Athletic Club
and Joe Grant, which was won easily by
Grant in ten minutes.
Grant won the match by a halfNelson
hold. The third event was an amusing
one-round match between Joe Tipman and
Sammy Myers. two weIl-known pugilists.
who for the first time tried their skill as
wrestlers.
Neither of them knew much about wreS
Ting. and their tactics highly amused the
crowd. The match between them was
finally declared draw amid great laugh
ter. Mr.. H. o. Bailey acted as referee.

GRAND CIRCUIT TRoTTING.
Dan Patch Failed to Lower Record on
Soggy Track.

Over a heavy track yesterday afternoon
Dan Patch failed in an attempt at Read
vile to beat the worlds record of l 80 for
PAGERS. He was able to cover the circuit in
only two minutes. 1t was a great perform
ance. all things considered. The air was
cool and the track soggy. caused by the
rain of Thursday night. McHenry had the
horse fit for the trial and CALAMITY did the
mahogany stallion step the first half, but
from there on he tired However, he did
much better than a number of horsemen
expected. The time by quarter was a fol-
lows: O.3O. O.59A. 1904. 200.
Only one Of the favortes in the regular
events was able to live up to the expecta-
tons of the talent She was Oracle kellar
in the 2.17 class trot while the horses that
failed were Prince of Orange and AL Book.
Oracle kellar was great favorite, and in
each of the two heats in the race led from
wire to wire. Jack Curry got second with
Direct View the first time. with Miss Brook
as the place winner the second trip.
The time for the second mile gives Oracle
a new mark. Prince of Orange was on his
bad behavior and acted badly on each cir
cult. rhythmic, the blind horse. went to the
front the first time and beat Susie j. han
Oily, while Cox had all he could do to bring
the favorite inside the banner. The second
time saw rhythmic go away fast and main
tain the lead until the stretch, where Spear
let Wentworth loose and beat the blind
horse easily. In the third and deciding heat
Spear lay back in third place until the turn
into the stretch and then he brushed by
Susie J. and went after the leader. AT the
seven-eighths pole Rhythmic died away. and
Wentworth won. with room to spare.
AL Book just managed to get back his en-
trance money in the 2:O9 pace. while Walker
managed to win the first heat with E. e.
Smathers' horse. Gold Brick. The next two
times saw Cubanola go to the front and
win.

enth. and by good batting tied up the score
with three runs. Barrett led off with a
single over second, and scored on Lushs
double to the score board in right. Craw-
ford got base on balls, and with Lush
scored when Carr tore off double into left.
Patten then put on additional speed. and
the next three batters went out in regular
order. This ended the run-setting for the
Tigers.
In the same inning the Senator's got busy
once more, scored run and 1t proved
the winner. After Setback had been retired
Clarke reached first in safety, the result of
Nichols bad throw to Carr. The hit and
run game was then played, Clarke coming
all the way home on Coughlin'S double to
left-a tall piece of pedal work for the tail
first baseman.
Drill made a double in the eighth, but was
left, as the next three men went out in
order and Lee dropped a fly in the ninth.
But Patten was under full sail by that
time. and the next three men were retired
as fast as they walked to the plate.
Umpire Connolly had many close decis-
ions to make. and went through both games
without a mistake.
