 Mcleod Throws Tom McInerney in
 Fast Match Story of Their First
 Meeting.
 The members of the Trinity club held an interesting meeting yesterday afternoon and listened to the report of the matchmaker of the club. The re, port was an interesting one because it contained not only the arrangements for the match next Thursday night, but the work being done for another match early in February. The officers of the club were ordered to go ahead with the matches and to never mind the ex- penses, as they would attend to all those matters. The financial packers are more than pleased at the success so far and predict that the match next Thursday night will be record break CT for attendance and record breaker as to whirlwind matches.
 Jim Parr is known to every reader of sports in this country and across the ], water. Coming over here with the championship of England he was met by Tom Jenkins, and after desperate struggle he was thrown. He wants another chance at Jenkins, but the lat tier is playing foxy game. He backs Douglass against him for a very good reason. He believes that Douglass can throw him and if he does Parr can then lay no claim to another match with Jenkins as Douglass is the wrest- Hing partner of Jenkins. Parr realizes lthat fact too, and knowing that Jen- kins is endeavoring to get away from him, he will go after Douglass from the first tap of the bell. If Douglass wants fast match he can have it, and Jenkins has advised Douglass to be the aggressor from the start.
 Douglass will arrive here on Satur- day or Monday and will finish his train ing here. He will probably train at &he Brooklyn Athletic club. Parr will arrive here on Tuesday and if possible he will train at the Washington Hill Athletic club rooms. The cards ad- vertising the match will be distributed all over the state by Saturday. Spe- cial trains will leave here for all places down the road after the matches are over.
 While in Buffalo, where he is appear ing this week at a playhouse. James J. Corbett related an interesting story about Dan Mcleod, Worcester, cham pion wrestler of the world. II remem- Der just as if it were yesterday" said Corbett when Mcleod and McInerney wrest1ed in Frisco in, 1891. Both were practically noyices then. Mcleod was in fact a greenhorn at the game, and I showed him a few tricks as we worked together at the club. To tell the truth, I consider myself as the Scotchman's first instructor Well, while he was working out there and picking up some knowledge Of the game. Evan Lewis, the Strangler,' came along with his show which included McInerney, the Irishman. Lewis was meeting all corners and a match was fixed up for him to meet Mcleod in q handicap bout, Lewis agreeing to throw Mac three times within an hour. Although Lewis was forty pounds the heavier he failed to turn the trick, and then Me- Leod and McTnnerney were matched. Tn size they were about even up, each weighing 165 pounds. Mcleod how eyer, was the faster, and took off the a they began to rough it and after wrest- ling about two hours without another fall, McInerney deliberately broke one of McLeods fingers. Then he tried to break one of McLeod's legs and Me Leod kicked him in the face. I was seconding Mcleod and when I saw what McInerney was doing I claimed the match on a foul and the referee a1- . lowed my claim and gave Mcleod the match. And between you and me, I'll wager that Mcleod has not forgotten that broken finger and will give Me Inerney something to remember when he gets him on the mat"
 Leo Pardello, who is matched to wrestle George Pothner at the New Polo A. A. next Thursday evening. Is training for the contest In the New Polo A. A. gymnasium and meets all corners nightly for exercise. PardeIlo never was in better form and losses his opponents around with ease He threw three expert heavyweights in succession last night with little appar- ent effort. Members of the New Polo "A. A. who have witnessed Pardello's feats think he will defeat Bothner.
