AT THE LINCOLN
HIGH SCHOOL

The entertainment Wednesday
afternoon and evening at the Lincoln
high school was highly appreciated
and Prof. Youker is entitled to
much credit for securing so able an
entertainer. Mr.. Clarke is man of
rare ability along his line and it is
not often that our citizens are
favored with an entertainment where
SO much rare talent is displayed.
The entertainment both afternoon
and evening was an educator to the
entire audience. Mr.. Clark spoke
before a good large audience
Wednesday evening but should he
ever return to our city we feel
confident that he would meet a
much larger audience. for we are
unable to hear anything but good
reports and entire satisfaction from
all in attendance.

WRESTLING vs.> BOXING

You may get hard raps in boxing, , says Frank Tyrrell, of Cincinnati, 'but what "a pink tea 1t is to wrest- ling! Years ago as the old-timers will remember, was both boxer and q wrestler.
 T met Jack Dempsey in the ring, fought the best I knew how, and took what the papers said was great beating. Dempsey was so pleased with my fight that he took me out and bought me suit of clothes.
 Well, that was boxing. .On anoth- CT occasion I wrestled Evan Lewis, and what I got that night was equal to eleven whalings by pugilist. Lewis who was 40 pounds heavier than I was, agreed to throw me in 15 mfn- utes.
 "Strangle hold was supposed to be barred, but after several minutes of ough-and-tumble work, he got me by the throat and gripped me till my eyes stuck out. was black in the face and didn't know what was happening. With only one minute more to go, he got me down.
 During that 14-minute session on the mat Lewis strangled me till my throat was sore for weeks. He push ed my face into the rough canvas and than showed it along till my nose, chin and forehead were blistered.
 "He ground my chest and knees into the canvas till they were as burnt as if held to fire. He drove his knuck- les into my ribs as hard as a boxer could send in blow, and he didn't have gloves on. either.
 ''On my part. did what could to hand it back to him--and that game was wrestling. which is considered q mild and gentle sport compared with pugilism. Cincinnati Tribune

GOOD BATTLE TONIGHT.

Young Corbett and Dave Sullivan meet in San Francisco tonight in a twenty y-round fight at 13O pounds, weigh in at 6 o'clock. Corbett is an overwhelming favorite in the betting but Sullivan wired friends yesterday that he would win decisively. Sulli- van says that the weight will help him wondArfullY, for the reason that when he met 1Vern at Louisville two years ago he had to weaken himself to get down to the stipulated figures. Ever since Corbett beat McGovern Ine first time, at Hartford, Sullivan. who saw the mill, has been after a match with the Denver pugilist Sullivan has been training for several months and will get into the ring in superb condi- ton. He is fast, clever and game, but he is inclined to lose his temper. and is not heavy puncher. At that, if Corbett is not it and ready he may find in the lighting Irishman" a tough customer

TIPS FROM THE FEEDS
 OF THE HANDICAPs

California turfmen say that Mike Daly's Claude will win the Brooklyn handicap this year, carrying as he will only 1O5 pounds. Claude was fam 1 ous 3-year-old last season and went through an extraordinary hard cam pa1gn. Since the first Of the year he has won several thousands of dollars for his owner, his most recent triumph being ill the Palace Hotel handicap at Ingleside. He is slated to carry top weight in the Montgomery handicap at Memphis, but he will hardly start, as Daly intends to ship the horse east in a very snort time. Those who saw Claude, with 122 pounds, run second ill the S1O,OOO Burns handicap recent ly have expressed the opinion that he will be one of the greatest handicap horses on the American turf this sea- son. He will pick up feather in the Suburban as well as in the Brooklyn.

 Captain S. $. Brown, the Pittsburg millionaire turfman, has $50, GOO worth of thoroughbreds stabbed at Memphis. He has a formidable lot of Swear -olds and will try to make a clean sweep of the derbys in various parts of the west He will start Auditor, son of Esher, in the Crescent City derby on March 12 Conjuror and Proceeds, who will probably carry the Brown colors in the Tennessee derby. have already been made fayorites for that event.

JABEZ WHITE COMING

Everything is apparently settled for the visit of Jabez White to this coun- try. White is at the head of the light weight class in England, and his two victories over Spike Sullivan and other clever pugilists have establish ed his right to be classed among the top notchers.
 Whites ambition is to fight Joe Cans for the worlds lightweight title, but in doing so the foreigner will in- sist on the regular weighing in, 133 pounds at the .ringside. This Cans cannot very we'll do without taxing his strength. Should White fail to se- curing an engagement with Cans he may open negotia tions for a mill with Young Corbett or Jimmy Britt.

The following tips are from the Meriden Journal writer:
 Wouldn't Waterbury be really bet ter for the league than Worcester?
 Has anyone heard where Mickey Delaney is going? With Terry Rog- gers on second Norwich will not need him.
 If Tracy gets Bert Daly, George Hemming, Ira Thomas, Harry Truby, and half of the others talked of there will be nothing to it but Hartford.
 Wonder if Jim O'Rourke will kick against Canavan leaving New Haven and going to Worcester? He kicked like steer at the thought of the Hart ford team being transferred.
 If Worcester gets in it is quite like- ly that trip schedule will have to be adopted It would be costly to be jumping from Bridgeport to Worces- ter for one game and then back to New Haven, and then up to Spring field and so on.
 Is this talk about Canavan leaving New Haven on the level or merely scheme to make the New Haveners come to time with ground or the price to buy out?

OF course, great deal depends on
your own taste in the matter of news
papers. If you want publication that
serves up so much gore and so manv

thrown away to buy The Tribune. If.
however, you are looking for a daily
history Of the world, carefully collated
and sifted and presented in the most
attractive form that the facts and the
laws of good taste will permit, you can
not make any mistake in reading The
Tribune every day. But The Daily
Tribune Is more than a continuous
history. 1t contains special articles
on nearly every subject which is sup
posed to interest intelligent and clean
minded people. to say nothing of the
illuminating and instructive editorial
articles and reviews of books, music
and the drama. Just by way of ex-
pertinent, why don't you invest 81 and
get The Daily and Sunday Tribune by

WITH Christmas over, the attention
of our citizens will turn to the session
of the Legislature which will meet in
extraordinary session tomorrow to be
followed January the third by the reg
ular biennial session. There is much
for the Legislature to do and it is to be
hoped that they will get down to work
with vim and determination that will
characterize this body as one of the
most business like of any in recent
years. OF course the paramount duty
will be the election of United States
Sena tor. This will take sometime for
consideration but while there may be
daily balloting for this the legislature
should not forget that they have busi-
