WRESTLING MATCH.
Harvey Parker Easily Overcame Jack
Munroe's Weight.

Harvey Parker Of Worcester defeated
Jack Munroe. the iner-pugalist. in a catch
as-catch-can wrestling match at Worcester
last night in the presence of 1900 persons.
The conditions of the match were that
Munroe should throw Parker twice in an
hour, but Parker won the first fall with a
combination hammeriock and reverse bar
in twenty nine minutes. and in the second
bout Parker had Munroes shoulders within
half an inch Of the mat when time was
called -ter
Munroe had the advantage Of fifty pounds
in weight But what Parker lacked in
avoirdupois he made up in science. He
went after Munroe from the start and kept
the miner on the defensive from the call of
time. Munroe's great strength enabled him
to break many dangerous holds, but gradu
ally Parker wore him down In the second
bout Parker simply toyed with his huge
opponent and tossed him around at will.
The big fellow was jeered when he left the
ring. In his dressing room Munroe said
Parker was the toughest game he had ever
encountered.

American League Clubs Standing.
National League Clubs Standing.

The Senators pulled themselves together
yesterday afternoon, fielded finely and bat
ted timely, and with the effective pitching
of Orth. defeated the Athletics in their
farewell game of the season by the score
OF to 2. Barry Mccormick has been out
OF the game for week on account of his
wife's illness, and his return to the game
yesterday appeared to brace up the locals
wonderfully. He took care of everything
that came his way and figured in two
double plays that were of the demoralizing
sort to the Quakers.
Manager Lotus sent Albert Edward Orth
to the rubber and the big fellow pitched
one of his best games, holding the visitors
down to seven hits, a majority of which
were well scattered. Opposed to Orth on
the rubber was "Gettysburg' Plank, and
his bad start was the cause of the Ath-
letics downfall His speedy curves had no
terrors for the locals, who have been Woe
fully weak at the bat Of late and before
he settled down to business two runs mad

innings.
After that there was nothing doing" to
use a vulgarism. the Senators going out in
almost regular order in their last six times
at the bat. Back Of Plank the Quakers
helded correctly, although two hits to CEN
ter which Pickering allowed to go by him,
would have been stopped had this generally
brilliant player been at his best. The balls
took bad bounds, shot by Pickering and
rolling to the fence went down as triples
The Quakers also shared honors with the
Senators in the double play business, get
ting three by fast work around the second
sack by Monte Cross
After the Athletics had been shut out in
the first inning, the result of a fast double
play by Moran, Mccormick and Clarke, the
Senators walked up to the plate and In the
twinkle OF an eye had hung up two runs.
Robinson was an easy out, but Hendricks
tr1pled to center and Moran was passed
Selhach then singled into right and Hen
bricks scored. Clarke hit timely single
into left and Moran raced home. A double
play wound up the inning.
In the second the Athletics were once
more retired runless, and again the SEN
ators got into the tallying business. After
Mccormick had been retired Kittredge
singled over second and Orth doubled to
left Robinson hit short fly into right
and kittredge and Orth scored, the latter
doing some fine sprinting to beat Seybold's
throw to the plate. This ended the SEN
ators run-scoring for the day, but IL
proved amply sufficient.
In the third the Athletics made their first
run. Shrek walked but Plank forced him
at second by hitting to Coughlin. Little
Hartsell then walked into one of Orth's out
curves and drove 1t to the club house in
right Held for three bases Plank scoring
