that appeals to mes common sense
and makes it easy to believe the man
ufacturers' claim: That Improved
Lead will wear thirty to fifty per
cent. longer than ''Trust'' lead if
mixed with pure oil and applied by a

pARKER AND SWANSON.

What promises to he a most sensa- tioRal wrestling match will occur to- night between Harvey Parker, the Lit tle Demon, and Alex swanson, ths best welterWeight wrestler in New York.
 The New Polo A. A., 12oth street and Park avenue, will be the scene of the bout, on the result of which will de pend the welterweight championship of the world.
 Parker and Swanson have been train- Ing for several weeks TOT this contest, and are now in excellent condition. That Parker is again in fine trim was demonstrated on Friday night when he defeated Eugene Tremblay. the cham. pion of Canada. in two straight falls. This performance is all the more worthy because of the fact that in three bouts which constituted three hours of wrestling. George Bothner. the lightweight. champion of the world, failed to throw the Canadian once.
 Swanson has been training with Fl. H. Egeberg, the Graeco-R Roman cham pion, who defeated Piening about two weeks ago. and the Great Dane will be ln the Swede's corner tonight Swan. son has been working out with heavy, weights and none have as yet succeed ca in putting him down. g<

Five interesting bouts made ID an excellent flstic card at the Milwaukee A. O., Milwaukee, Wis, last Friday ntgEStS iandrtie large crowd present. got the full value for their money, The main mill was for six rounds, between Charley Weary Of Milwaukee and Kid Goodman of Boston. The decision was . draw. The verdict was very unpOp, t1lsr, as Goodman had the advantage throughout. The referee was roundly hissed for his judgment The pair were to have weighed in at o'clock in the afternoon at Is0 pounds. Good. man was under the weight while Weary was above it. When theSbout started Neary was at least ten pounds heavier than his rival For five rounds Goodman planted his left fair ly and squarely on Neary's face and also connected with the body and jaw with the right without receiving re- turn. Ills lead was soh manifest that it was thronght the only way be could lose WAS through knockout. Weary made desperate stand In the sixth, and although he rocked the Boston man with two rights to the jaw he only broke even In this round. Good. man vas, his master in the first five rounds and there was no question of his superiority. There were plenty of Wagers on the outcome of the min and thnse- who had bet on Neary consil, cred themselves lucky in securing a t:raW.

WRESTLING.
TWO CHANGES
 FOR KELLY
CnaKi Of Bridgeport and Sundstrom Of This City After im-ParKer In Great Form.

If John R. Kelly wants to make a really good match in which he will be called on to exert every effort if he wishes to win, there is one more chance offered him. Dick Howell, manager of Cnaki of Bridgeport, is anxious to SC the two men get together once more. The last match ended very unsatisfactorify, as Kelly was injured by falling off the stage If they arO matched again, however there must be something worth wrestling for. Manager Howell would prefer a match for $100 or s200 side and let 1t be pulled off in private or in the best club room to be found in the state. Sund- strom, the Danish wrestler, is also after Kelly and is prepared to wrestIe him at catchweights. Sundstrom is a resident of Waterbury now, and while he has not appeared much before the public he is rated as a pretty fast man. There are many who believe that Kelly has gone back and fl that is so then some other lightweight must por up to fight for the honors with Cnak1 Of Bridgeport, who wrested the title from John B. Kelly.

At long range lighting Black. burn excelled. His best blow was a laft jab on the mouth and he worked it to good advantage during the earlier rounds, Langford was at home at in lighting and for eight rounds had things his own way, He smashed Blackburn in the wind and on the jaw and to aIl appearances looked like the winner. But after that Blackburn picked tip and in the final two rounds more than evened matfeTs. It was hard te choose between the pair lu the wslv Of points and the decision was a draw.

 The semi-windup at this club was between Tommy O'Toole and Rofey MeGuire. They were to have met for six rounds, but the contest ended in the third with O'Toole the victor. From the time the pair shook hands they started right to work. In the first round O'Toole landed on McGuire's jaw and sent him to the floor. He was on his feet in jiffy and some fierce fighting resulted. Before the gona sounded O'Toole was tiopped with a heavy right on the chin and be was pretty groggy. After that O'Toola held the upper hand, landing on his op- ponent't body and jaw. The punish Enent had it's effect, and ln the third Mcclure was put to sleep with a left on the jaw.
