cision announced yesterday by the

WRESTLING.
BARNES LOST
TO LEONHARDT
The Mixed Match Proved
Too Speedy For the
Springfield Nan = Jack
Roach Challenged.

Springfield, Sept 20.-Charles Leon
hardt of Newark, \. j., an unbeaten
performer at Graeco-Roman style of
wrestling, won from Jim. Barnes of
this city in mixed match in GraVes's
hall last night.
Leonhardt won the toss Of the coin
and Graeco- Roman was chosen as the
style for the first bout.
Leonhardts ruggedness above the
waist counted for considerable Barnes
was game and willing. In all the
clashes he tried every hold he could
put into use, but Leonhardt's work in
bridges counted for considerable. Get
ting away from strong holds by sheer
strength of shoulders and arms, Leon
hardt would find Barnes so elusive
that the going would be fearfully fast.
After IL minutes Leonhardt got half
Nelson and in 80 seconds more had his
man down. Both wrestlers were weak
ened by the work.
In the second bout, which many of
the regulars declared was the best
display of catch-as-catch-ca wrestling
ever seen in Springfield, Barnes showed
all the qualities which have made him
big local favorite, and others, too.
Never did he gain so much by leg
work. At the end of Is minutes Leon
hardt craftily worked from the top
and prevented Barnes from getting be-
hind him. Barnes madeNa grand try
in the seventeenth minute to gain a
fall, but Leonhardt was unwilling to
mix it. After passing IL minutes 30
seconds, the time for the first fall,
Leonhardt seemed confident. In the
twentieth minute Barnes used a crotch
hold and half-Nelson and put his man
down.
The final bout, at Graeco- Roman
style, was rough. Barnes forced Leon
hardt off the mat twice and once had
the Newark man dangling over the
ropes. Leonhardt gained the fall in
20 mintes 20 seconds.
The preliminary was one of the best
ever contested in the hall. Mike Will
lard. former featherweight champion
of New York and New Jersey, who
now weighs about 40 pounds, got two
fails on Jack Harris, the wrestling line
man. Harris weighs about $50
pounds. but he was outwrestled by
Willard, who showed holds which Har-
ris had never encountered in his brief
experience. Willard won falls in >
minutes 20 seconds and minutes 40
seconds, and the match was decided in
his favor, although the boys were sup
posed to have half an hour. Willard
issued a challenge TO meet the winner
OF the match in Holyoke between
Young Muldoon of New York and Jack
Roach of Waterbury. Willard is will
ing to wrestle either at catch-as-catch-
can style or Graeco- Roman.

delphia, carrying a large delegation of
New York sports to the Dixon and
Murphy fight. Both boys are report
ed to be in splendid condition, and If
Little Chocolate" has not gone back
too far in his fighting this should
prove to be whirlwind fight, as the
little ex-featherweight champion will
be anxious to show his friends that
he is still in the fighting game and
will therefore, sail in for all be is
worth. Murphy is regarded as one Of
the best boys in his class and will do
his best to score knockout over the
little black man.

In plays between guard and center
the quarter should hand the ball d.
rectly to the runner, showing It close
IN the pit OF the latter's stomach, 90 as
to guard against fumbles. On an end
or a tackle run the quarter should pass
the ball through the air to the man
who Is to carry 1t in order to save time.
In end and tackle runs the runner
does not approach close enough to the
quarter TO have the ball handed to
him, unless the quarter consumes val
liable moments in running to meet
the man who Is to carry the ball. In
these runs the man receiving the ball
from the quarter should carry IT under
one arm. the one on the outside or
farthest from the attackers.
