 Nearly 800 sporting men crowded in- to the gymnasium of the New Polo A. C., 129th street and Park avenue, New York city, last night to witness con test to a finish a mixed syle beween finders Anderson of Sweden, and Phil ip Kreig of Harlem. This was An derson's first appearance in this coun- try and he easily took Kreig into camp, winning two straight falls i'll jig time.
 The rules of the first fall were Graeco-Roman. Anderson, who is over feet and weighs about 22O pounds, went after Kreig with a vengeance. Kreig was like a pygmy in the Swedes hands. Anderson, after es- caping a hammer lock, turned on his rival with considerable alacrfty and before the spectators were aware had Kreig's shoulders pinned to the mat The time of the fall was minutes. Kreig was much used up, but recov- cred after rest of 15 minutes. An derson, however, did not give him any breathing spell. He simply rushed things and getting on top succeeded in throwing Kreig again and won the match. The last fall was accom- plished in three minutes.
 Two preliminary bouts preceded the stellar event. Carl Muller downed Max Nelson in three minutes. The con- test was limited to fifteen minutes at catch-as-catch-can style. John Tomp- kins, the 'Tatoo man," followed, meet 1 ing Jack Dillon, the pugilist, of liar lem. They were to have met for best two falls out of three at catch-as- catch-can. Dillon was no rival for Tompkins, who won two straight falls in l minute 45 seconds and 3 minutes respectively.
 1 In the wrestling match at Kittan- ming, Pa, for the middleweight cham 1 pionship of the world, purse of S4OO and the gate receipts, Fred Earth suc- ceeded in securing two falls on Ather- 1 ton, the former champion, and is now entitled to wear the championship belt. 1 The first fall was secured by Atherton in 27 minutes. Earth secured the next 1 in IA minutes, 15 seconds. Earth then won by throwing Atherton in p min- untes, 12 seconds.
 | Jenkins had an easy task in disposing of Bobby Reakes. Jenkins as to throw Reakes five times in one hour, and he accomplished the task in 49 minutes, obtaining the falls as follows: Nine minutes, 50 seconds; il minutes, 20 sec onds; 12 minutes. 10 seconds; 9 min- utes, 30 seconds, and minutes. Reakes put up very scientific argument, but he was altogether too light, weighing only, 155e pounds, against Jenkins's 195 pounds. The match was witnessed by an immense audience.
 A finish wrestling match between l Oscar Sundstrom of Worcester and Dave Hallard of Montreal is to be pulled off in Southbridge Saturday night.
 A letter to the Times from Max Lutt- 1 beg, the New York wrestler. states he l will be back in New York city within a week. He has succeeded in getting on a match with Nick Elliott, the crack heavyweight, who in the past has trimmed a number of the big 'uns, and stayed the limit twice with Tom Jen. kins. Nick has stood Luttbeg off to the limit heretofore and got the promised money before he went on for the bout Luttbeg says: "There will be nothing fakey about this match. It will be fol blood, and will be pulled off in Brock ton. I know Brockton people want the real goods and they will get it in this match" Luttbeg has sent word to 6 representative here to arrange for 8 hall and date for the match. This match will not interfere with the matches arranged between Watson oi Stoughton and Luttheg, and the latter and Brockton Billy Watson.-7Brockto Times.
