WRESTLING.
ONE MORE
 SESSION SURE
Simonsville Club Will Give Another Tourna- ment in the Near Fu- ture..Other Notes.


 to remain idle and will in the near fu- ture bring off another tournament. Kelly feels that he should have anoth- CT chance at Cnaki, and he will, in all probability, be matched to meet the Bridgeporter once more. Everything will be arranged so that such an acci- dent as occurred the other night will not again occur. All those who, were present Thursday night feel that to decide the supremacy of the two, Kelly and Cnah should be brought on the mat second time. 1t IS possible, too, that Dan Pickett and young Perlgard will also face each other to prove who is the better mat artist. Their bout Thursday night was cofker, and return match would create additional interest. Ed O'Conneii will probably ,not be given another chance, but Jack Roach will be pitted against Speh of Derby. This should make another good contest. That will be tourna- ment worth going miles to see.
 Bridgeport, Feb 20.-The wrestling match at Saiier's hall last night was slisappointment, and it was not dls- appointment. This paradox is ex- plained when 1t is stated that Jack MunToe did not put in an appearance. But Tom Jenkins, the champion catch as-catch-can wrestler of the world, WAS there to take his place in the con- test with John Fleming, the acknowl- edged champion of all Graeco-Roman wrestlers. There was present one of the largest crowds that ever gathered tn sSailer's hall to witness wrestling match. but they went there to. see Tom piening. the invincible Butcher Boy, throw Jack Munroe. the pugilist, three times in an hour. Before the bout was called Prof Atlas explained that Jack Munroe's manager would not per mi him to take the venture, as 1t might result in his giving up his train ing for his coming bout in the ring 5 with Tom Sharkey. 1t was a case where they were taking no chances
 So the two champions of their re- spectiye styles struggled on the mat for thirty minutes in Graeco-R Roman style without an advantage on either side.
 From purely wrestling point of view perhaps the match was better than if Jack Munroe had been pres ent. for the pugiiist is not as good man at that sport as IS Tom Jenkins. Rut that was not what the crowd w went on the mat they tossed for the style of wrestling. Luckily flor Pien- ing he won, and of course, chose the CSraeco- Roman style. Fleming weighs about 16O and Jenkins about 1D0 If Jenkins had his way, he would have pnt the little fellow on his back num- Iber of times with ease and dispatch. }As it was Fleming showed the most { skill and Jenkins the most strength. and that told the story of the thirty minute struggle. There was no fall on either side.
 Al the conclusion of the half hour bout. and when the men retired, the majority Of the audience llngeT"d to see the second bout. There appeared to be some misunderstanding by the spectators. The general impression wa& that there was to be bout Of half an hour 0f both styles of wrest- ling. Prof Atlas explained that there was no such understanding, unless there was q fall in the first bout.
 The first of the prelbninaries was the most Interesting of t--e two eur tain raisers." It was between John Mold of New Haven and Charles Krant Of South Norwalk. The style was l eateh.as-ca tch-car. Both men ap- peared to be In good condition. and went at each other rather lively. After twenty minutes Mold got a scissors 1 hold on Krant and was doing the busi- ness when Krant yelled out that his opponent had strangle hold or him. Referee Dick Howell said that if Mold had a strangle hold Krant would not have wind enough to say so. So the fall was given to Mold. Four minutes later Mold got a crotch and arm hold On Krant and won another fall.
 The other preliminary was between Bin Cnaki and Arthur Gotthilf, and neither man got a fall in fifteen min- utes.
