 Inerney Proved Tough Customer for Mcleod.
 There will evidently be big rush for seats for the Parr and Douglass match when the chart goes on exhibi- tion at Towle's sporting goods house on Tuesday morRng. The managers of the Trinity club once more assure the public that any seat purchased will be surely given to the purchaser. Douglass is on edge for the affray next Thursday night and is being coached and advised by Tom Jenkins, who is anxious to see Parr put to the mat. Douglass is just the same weight as Parr and has a reputation just as good, although not taking part in many matches in this country. He insists that he will be big surprise to Parr when they get together. Parr, how ever, is keeping himself in the best of condition and will have the advantage of couple of matches before the one here on Thursday night. He will de- feat Douglass or quit the game, is the way he talks. He wants another go at Jenkins and when he defeats Doug lass he will chase his packer right into his own city once more for another match. That it will be a Diff, bang, whirlwind contest seems to be now certainty
 But while there has been consider able talk about the big match, the pre- Iiminary seems to have been neglected. Here will be another contest that will give the people an appetite for the main affair. Jack Roach of Water bury will face Ed O'Connell of New Haven for a bout of one-half hour. O'Connell has appeared here twice and each time he has made favorable inn pression. He has met Jesse Foley on each occasion and there was no fall. Many people have said that they would like to see Jack Roach and O'Connell come together and it remained for the matchmaker of the Trinity club to make that match. Roach is confident he, can throw, the lad from New Ha- ven and O'Connell is just, as confident he cannot SO'ConneIl writes from New Haven to-day that he will be here Thursday night ready to do things to the local boy. Here will be vir- tually two star contests.

 George Bothner, the lightweight champion. who is to wresfle Leo Par. dello at the New Polo A. A. on Janu ary 15, is training in his own gymna. sium and is putting in some hard pre- Iiminary licks The match will cal forth all his science to win. The con testants are old opponents, and there is not the best of feeling between them. Both have a big New York fol. lowing and the struggle is the sole talk in, wrestling circles.
 Tom Sharkey is feeling strenuous these days and owing to his inabilit, to get on match which will be gov erned by Marquis of Oueensberr, rules, he wants to take a hand at tn wrestling game. He is quite a wrest Ter, having wriggled out of holds Ton Jenkins got on him for 45 minutes be fore being thrown He also stoo Champion Mcleod off for 54 minute before being downed.
