A new industry In the region at the
head OF the lakes Is the gathering OF
the tree stumps for use In the Maine
shipyards. A large number OF wooden
ships are built every year, and It has
been found that the most efficient cor.
ner braces are those made from these
stumps. and hundreds are shipped east
every day. The roots OF the trees and
short section OF the stump are used
In making the braces. and stumps
from trees about a foot in diameter
are found to be the best. The stump Is

There is nothing half way about the plans Whitey Jacobs, the sport ing promoter and theatrical man of Philadelphia. has for the opening of his new club in that city early in July. Jacobs. who was in New York yesterday, unfolded his program. which he is at present completing. He sent long telegram to Billy No Ian in Chicago regarding taking Bat ting Nelson to Philadelphia to meet Amby McGarry. The offer was con- tingent on McGarryis showing against Willie Fitzgerald at the Ma tional Athletic club in Philadelphia and Nolan was told to watch the ticker for a guide on his answer. Nell son has been offered 45 per cent of the gross receipts to hook up with the Bronx boy at 133 pounds. Fail- ing to get Nelson. Jacobs will go af- ter Joe Cans for McGarry. and in the event of the latter refusing tc meet Amby he wants Jack Blackburn. If Nelson fails to accept the offef made him. Jacobs will cut in with aI all-star card. which he plans to in- clude Blackburn. Harry Lewis. Mike lTwinl Sullivan. Jimmy Walsh and Tommy O-Toole- The headquarters of the new club are located in the heart of the city. and within two minutes walk of the depot. where New York CTS are expected to land on special trains to witness the bouts. It will hold 7.409 spectators, and Is an ideal place for big bouts.

HARvARD'S TRIAL.
Crimson Crew Goes Four Miles in 22
 Minutes 10 Seconds.

New London. June 23.-Harvard's $ varsity crew hnd another trial this evening. rowing up stream with tide and wind and covering the four mile course in % minutes 10 seconds. This Is the official time and is two minutes slower than the Crimson eight's pre- vious time row. when the direction traversed was opposite that of last night and there was not such strong breeze to help the crew along. The half mile was rowed in 2 min utes and 33 seconds, the mile in 5 minutes 3O seconds. mile and half in S minutes 31 seconds. two miles in II minutes seconds. two and half miles in 13 minutes RI seconds. three miles in Is minutes 31 seconds. three and a half miles in 19 minutes 20 seconds and four miles in 20 minutes 10 seconds.
 The men finished in good form until Filley hit up the stroke to 34 toward the end of the last mile. when there was considerable splashing. The gait for three miles was, kept down 10 2S. After resting for a few seconds the eight rowed a quarter of mile down stream and then turned into their float. The Harvard freshmen had a two mile trial mp stream about ! o'clock. and the conditions on the course were similar to those that fav- ored the big crew. The youngsters rowed clean steady stroke of g and were credited with 10 minutes and B seconds.
 Yale's crew were given very light practice yesterday morning. and the eights did not row more than four miles in all last evening. Kennedy took both crews up above Broadview and gave them brush of two miles hack to the boat house. the varsity boat winning by two lengths The varsity mems superiority with the blades was noticeable

WRESTLING
PERRIELLI DID
 NOT SUCCEED
Failed to Throw Swanson Twice in One Hour = Did the Trick
 Only Once.

There was but small crowd down in Simonsville last night, but those who were present saw a. match that for roughness and aggressiveness sur passed anything that has yet been giv- en In that club room. The partici- pants in this match were John Per relli of Torrington and Alex Swanson Of New York. It was handicap affair in which Perrelli agreed to throw Swanson two falls in one hour of act. ual wrestling. After the match had been in progress about ten minutes, me referee warned both men that if they did not show better work. he would send them from the mat and not one penny would come their way. perrielli claimed that he was doing the best he could. He. was informed that his work must improve or if would be skiddoo for him. It looked very much as though there was some. thing framed up until the warning came from the referee and then there were things doing for a few minutes until once more the men were warncl to get into the game and do some wrestling. Then the fight began fin earnest and Perriell indulged in work that would have disqualified him if the match had been for any big amount of money. Several time he threw Swanson through the ropes. and it was just as we'll for him that swanson was not injured. for Per. rielh would certainly have been dis qualified. Argument and disputes were plentiful and all caused by the stran- gle hold. Perrielll would slip three quarter Nelson on to Swanson anL gradually allow his arm to steal un- der Swanson's chin shutting of his wind. Many times he was ordered to break the hold. each time protesting that it was only three-quarter Nel- son Finally he was ordered to quit slipping the strangle On Swanson. or he would be sent from the mat. This more than angered him for he said he would not wrestle any more under such conditions. He thought better of 1t however. for there is no yellow fin the big fellow. and he started at Swanson again. In the meantime a couple of Perrellli's friends from Tor rington butted into the game with offers of stage money. but they were quickly sauelched by the referee who ordered the officer to remove them from the hall unless they behaved themselves. They had been wrestling forty-five minutes when Perrielli SC cured a scissors hold and coupled with an arm lock he forced Swanson's shoulders to the floor for the first fall
 Perrieili made several spasmodic at tempts to throw Swanson in the next fifteen minutes but be was unable to do 90. Swanson wriggled out of sev- eral hard places and both were per spring freely when the hour was ov- CT. Then came challenges galore from one to the other In the preliminary contest the Young Turk was 10 have met Kid Gorrnan but the latter re fused to vTestie for reasons best known to himself and Charley Somers of Torrirgton took his place He was bigger than The Turk" but the latter had the science and the strength and in short time secured two falls from the Torrington boy.
