WRESTLING. THE MATCH
 IS ASSURED
Swanson and Cnaki Will Meet for the Champion ship of the World-Kelly N ot Yet Posted Forfeit.

The wrestling match for the welter- weight championship of the world be- tween Alex Swanson of this city and Billy Cnaki of Bridgeport is as good as made. Dick Howell has posted his forfeit for Cnaki and Swanson's for felt is also up, and now all that re- mains is for the articles of agreement to be drawn up, which will be done on Thursday night in the Democrat office at 8 o'clock. In all probability the match will take place on Thurs day evening, June p, in City hall. What the preliminaries will be re- mains to be decided.
 Jack Roach said yesterday that Kelly would not cover the forfeit he put up to meet him for the champion ship of the city and said that the req son was that the friends of Kelly Who were to help him out on the for felt would not make good. If Kelly can induce his friends to cover that forfeit to-day or tomorrow the man. ageMent of the Swanson and Cnaki aHair will offer them fair sized purse to battle for. This should be settled within two days as there are two other preliminaries now in the works. Dan Picket and Dave Cronan can also have purse if they want it, and so can Gresham and Owens. Blondin and Bill Smith will also be accommodated if necessary, for it is the aim of the promoters to have two star contests and at least two other contests. Applications should be made at once.

GIANTS SHUT OUT.
Young, Boston's Great Pitcher, Did
 the Trick.

Young, Boston's Great Pitcher, Did
 the Trick.
 BOSTON, June 5.--Boston and New York split even in the games on the South End grounds, Boston winning the first by ? to o, Young pitching against McGinnity. Wiltse and FL liott pitched for the visitors in the sec ond game and Williams for Boston.
 It was Young's eighth victory of the season in eleven games pitched. He has landed both of the victories Boston has gained owe: New York, and he is the first one to shut out the Giants this season, while in the last two games he has pitched against them they have scored just once Young has landed eight of the fifteen victories gained by the locals and has undoubt- edly saved them from dropping into the last position.
 Only three hits were made off Young's delivery, and he fielded his po- sition grandly and received a great ovation from the spectators, being ap- plauded repeatedly for his effective work and superb fielding
 Three times in the game the visitors had man on third, and once a try for the rubber was made, but in vain. Me Ginnity pitched aNfne game, and the defeat of the champions cannot be laid at his door, but rather to his sup port.
 The second game was walkover for the visitors. Owing to the absence of Raymer out of the game on account of the critical illness of his wife Boston was without spare outfielder. and 1t was necessary to put in Wilhelm, who held the first three balls sent to him, but fell down on the fourth. and this led to the scoring of three runs by the visitors in the third inning and gave them a lead which paved the way for an easy. victory by score of 8 to 3.
