ON THE MAT.
Tom Jenkins Wins a Match Bridgeport.

Tom Jenkins, champion wrestler of America, defeated Adam Mueller, the Boer wrestler last night at Madison hall, Bridgeport. The match was an interesting one The first fall was on a crotch hold in 19 minutes and the second in 8 minutes on a half-Nelson.
 There was not a dull minute in the match. The men as they came onto the platform were received with en- thusiasm. Jenkins tipped the scales at 204 pounds and Mueller at 191. Dick Howell was referee When they were called to the middle of the mat they went at each other cautiously. Mueller hugged Jenkins, and, locked together, they side-stepped and waltZed for three minutes, Mueller eager and ag- gressive, Jenkins confident and on the defensive. The men went to the floor, Mueller underneath. There was lively mix-up and scramble. Jenkins caught the Boer by the legs and stood him on his head, then after swirling him around for a favorable position, landed him on his side. The wary wrestler crawled out of his predica- ment and saved himself. The specta- tors gave round after round of ap- plause. A haIf-Nelson was secured, number of holds. Jenkins tried crotch hold, and landed Mueller's shoulders on the mat. Time, 19 min utes.
 It was after 10 o'clock when the men came back for the second turn. They side-stepped and kept up the dance game for some time. Jenkins wound his arms around Mueller for a reverse Nelson. This failed One hold after another was tried, half-Nelsons and crotches, but Mueller crawled out of the hole every time. A hammerlock by Jenkins failed to produce results. Another hammerlock was followed by a full Nelson. which broke into half- Nelson. Before the Boer could rise another half-Nelson was worked. This time it was successful and Mueller fopped over onto his back in 8 minutes.
 Previous to the leading bout, Will liam Wolff and Arthur Gotthilf went onto the mat for catch-as-catch-can match, best two in three falls, with a time limit of 30 minutes. Neither won fall They mauled and grilled 6dcH QUIET LOT ~ IilHules, edCA hah aging to keep out of danger. During the match Wolff called on Referee Howell to order gouging stopped. This angered Gotthilf who made a tart re- ply, and started to mix matters. Ref cree Howell stopped the men and eau toned them against fighting as it was a wrestling match in which they were engaged. They went to the limit and the bout was declared a draw.

REPAIRING WALL AND CARPET.
Some -Sugg eStiOns Which May Be of Value to the Housewife at
 This Time.

Dents, spots and scratches upon cabs inet wood torment the housewife1y conscience. To remove dent, cover it with four thicknesses, of wet paper, and set blazing hot iron on the paper for minute. The steam will raise the compressed wood layers, though it may play hob with the varnish. Re peat the steaming until there is an even surface. Then sandpaper the place, ruboff we'll with alcohol or naph- tha, and revarnish. For a rubbed place, sandpaper it smooth, then swab lightly with parafine oil, and after ward with a. little dry color, the same as recommended to make that partic- u1ar wood stain. Put on, the merest suspicion of the color at first, use a clean swab, and repeat the oil rubbing in between until the right shade is pro- duced. Finish with coat of shel1ac varnish, very lightly rubbed until dry, says Good Housekeeping.
 Thick crust slices from a very stale loaf will clean wallpaper. Begin at the top and rub downward with long, steady strokes. It is good way to cut a square loaf in two, lengthwise, rub with it till the cut surface is soi1ed, then slice the dirt off. Fuller's earth mixed to a thin paste with ammonia, and let dry over grease spots, will usually remove them. Brush off the dry paste with clean stiff brush. For very delicate paper, fold powdered French chalk flat inside thickness of gauge, lay the chalk pad against the grease spot, and press we'll with blaz- ing hot iron. Properly managed, there will be no mark left. But where there is big spot, the best way is to cut the . paper square around it, wet, and scrape off; then put on new piece.

MT Wood ruff says he considers himself han dicap to the team and he will retuan to theatricals. He believes that by con- tinuing in the game he would be doing an injustice to the owners, the team and himself. Daniel F. O'Neill is men, tfoned as manager of the team.
 The native Porto Rican pitcher throws slowly and deliberately, aiming to hit the bat, and practicing none of the deceitful curves and other tactics characteristic of the professionals. At base running they are slow and the errors are many, but they get as much pleasure out of it as the most ambi- tious corner lot player in city in the states. In a recent game an Ameri- can soldier went into the box and pitched just one inning to a native batsman. After few curves had puz- zled him, the latter threw down the stick, and uttering a few. expressive oaths, exclaimed: ''Throwa de ball at bat, hit him; no trowa around my neck" At the end of each inning as a sort of diversion the player who scores the last put-out fings the ball high into the air and all the players rush together to get 1t, scramb1ing for it like bunch of football players.

SEA GIRT CONTEST.
Shooting for the All American Bisley
 Team.


 SEA GIRT, N. J., May 21.-The fea- ture of the shooting at the contest for places on the All American rife team yesterday afternoon was the fact that nearly all the competitors fell off in their work at the 1000 yards range, Captain Martin, swho led all the oth- CTS, scoring only 51 at the longest range. strong, shifting wind is said to be responsible for the low scores on this the last day of the competition.
 By rolling up total of "A out of a possible 75 at 500 yards, total of 67 nt 800 yards and n at 1000 yards Corporal c. B. Winder, Sixth Ohio, forged to the front with grand total of 612 out of possible 675. Lieuten- ant K. K. V. Casey, Seventy first New York, also moved steadily forward fin- ishing with grand total of Gil, only one point in rear of Winder. Private Fl. H. Leizear, Sixth Pennsylvania, formerly a lieutenant of the D. c. N. C., and Captain William Martin, Sec ond New Jersey, each attained 605, but Leizear was accorded third place by reason of having made a higher score than Martin on the last day of the competition.
 Corporal Winder earned place on the All American team that partici- pated in the Palma match at Ottawa last fall, but was left off because it was thought that he was then lacking in experience.
 Immediately after "cease firing" had been sounded several of the competi- tors started for their respective homes, the majority remaining, however, for the eagerly awaited announcement of the personnel of the team. The board appointed to select the team held a preliminary meeting in the clubhouse and later adjourned to the governors cottage" at the other extremity of the camp grounds and there went into ex- ecutive session. They have selected the following winning marksmen to represent Amer ica at Bisley: Captain Horace M. Bell, Second New Jersey; Lieutenant Kel- logg K. V. Casey, Seventy first New York; Sergeant George Doyle, Seventy first New York; Private George Cook, First District of Columbia; Lieutenant Thomas Holcomb, United States ma- rine corps; Sergeant James H. Keough, Sixth Massa chusetts; Private H. H. Leizear, Sixth Pennsylvania; Captain l William B. Martin, Second New Jer- sey; Corporal William B. Short, Sev- l enth New York; Corporal Charles B. l Winder, Sixth Ohio; Private s. B. Weatherald, First District of Colum- l bia; Lieutenant A. B. Wells, Seventy ) first New York.

Four errors were punched into the inning, and these, with three hits, brought the Norwich score to the danger point, and within one of the home team. A spurt in the eighth brought three more runs to Hol- yoke and the game by the score 8 to 5. The score: ...

Jack Mccormick Gives a Little
 Roast to Mccoy.

Wants to Bet Five Hundred That He
 Can Defeat Him-Tim Callahan is
 After Young Corbett-Jack O'Brien
 and His Dazzling Science-The At
 tell and McGovern Bout.
 sT'd like to go into the ring again with Mccoy" says Mccormick. I'll bet him $500 that if it's twenty round go I will. win, and I'll bet him $500 more that he won't put me down in twenty rounds. There was time when could not say that about the Kid, but the life he has led has weak ened him so that am the better man of the two."
 Y Tim Callahan of Philadelphia, who once received a decision over Young Corbott on a foul, is anxious for an other try at the champion. Last night he issued challenge to Corbett, who was expected in New York on a jump from St Louis, where he fought Tuesday night Instead, he went to Cleveland, Ohio, to meet his manager, Harry Pollok. Callahan came to New York with the expectation of meeting Corbett and discussing the chance of being taken on. He was introduced to the spectators at Madison hall last night and received much applause. He Is clever boxer.
 Jack O'Briens dazzling science is well described by one of Marvin Harts S seconds, who says: Hart met one Of the greatest boxers in the country when he faced O'Brien. O'Brien weighed 15S1s pounds and Hart 1S221ss Tn some respects O'Brien is one of the most unique fighters in the country He is as quick as a fash, and fe1nted Hart almost into dizziness once or twice. Still Hart got close in and with that terrific short-arm punch with the right hand did awful eXecu- tion. O'Brien does not glide around the ring like most boxers. Standing still, sometimes at least four feet from his opponent, he will execute light ning-like motions, leaving his foe com pIetely at loss to understand what IS coming next. Suddenly O'Brien will spring forward and send in wallop that shatters a mans frame. I be- lieve that he can actually go from one side of the ring to the other in two bounds"
 The Attell-McGovern 20-round box ing contest, slated to take place before the International Athletic club of Fort Erie on May 30 is now holding the center of the pugilistic stage. The fight, no doubt, will prove Terry's fu- ture usefulness in the ring, and loss to Attell would leave him out of the running for championship honors. At tell proposes to win and he is not with out packers among the Chicago sports. Abe left several days ago for Buffalo, where he is now training under the watchfuI and experienced eye of Frank Erne. the ex-lightweight cha m pion, who knows McGovern's style well, and who will try to land Attell the winner, if possible, for Erne fig ures that this is a chance to even Up old scores.
