BOUTS AT THE
DANISH A. C.
Good Wrestling Took Place at
Meeting Last Night----The
Winners in the Contests.

The Danish Sociable A. c. held an
important meeting in the club house
in Park avenue, last night, after
which wrestling and bar work took
place.
The first wrestling bout was be-
tween Jorgen Hanson and SOren Mel
son. Jorgen won out in seven min
utes and three seconds. He had a
hard task of it and the members de-
clare that Nelson deserves great cred
it for his good work. The second go
was between John Larson, the coming
wrestler, of the club, and Nels Yep
son. Larson won out in eight min
utes. The last bout was between John
Larson and Jorgen Hanson. Both are
good wrestlers and they went the
time limit of fifteen minutes, when
the decision was awarded to Larson.
Paul Martinusen was chief announ-
GER. Chris. Hanson vas referee and
Lawrence Christensen was time
keeper. The judges were Nick Oh
son, John Madison and Ole Oleson.
At the meeting the committee in
charge of the dance and reception to
be held in Washington hall, in Fay
cite street, March 6, reported success
and progress.

Wrestling


Alex. Swanson, who claims the vel
terweight wrestling championship OF
the world, and Eberhardt Hahn
wrestling instructor OF the German
American A. c., will wrestle to a fin
ish tomorrow night at the club rooms
32S West Thirty-eighth street. Hahn
has defeated a number of good mer
lately, and his friends think he ha.
a good chance for at least a draw
with the Harlem grappler.
Abrahim Kazzi, of Tyre. Syria. tn,
lightweight Turkish wrestling cham
pion, is steadily reducing his weigh
by hard wor.ion the road and on the
mat, and claims to have suffered nc
i'll effects thus far from the weather
conditions and the dieting. although
he has never been compelled to scale
1873 pounds ringside before.
Abdallah D'Assouche, his hacker,
and Ajeeb Demetre. his trainer. are
watching him continually, as most OF
the Turks, especially YoUsouf, Nour-
oulah and Nachad could hardly be
prevented from drinking as much as
a camel prior to a bout. kazzi's in
telligence alone prevents him from
following their example, but he
knows he cannot reduce himself in
that manner, and follows the in
structions to the letter.
Owing to the unusual interest that
has been created, and the increasing
demand for choice seats, an advance
sale of seats commenced yesterday at
all the leading hotels. cafes, and
sporting resorts and at Grand Cen
trail Palace.

HAUGHToN RACKET CHAMPION.
Payne whitney, New York Expert,
Beaten Three Games to Two.

Beaten Three Games to Two.
BOSTON, Feb. Elm a dashing, up
hill contest Percy d. Haughton of the
Boston Tennis and Racket club won
the national amateur racket cham
pionship at the Boston Athletic asso-
citation, defeating Payne Whitney of
the New York Tennis and Racket
club three games to two. The scores
were as follows: 12-15, 9-15, 15-12,
1913, 15-13.
Whitney was the favorite and had
the match apparently almost won with
the games two to love and the points
5 to ! on the third game. A brief let-up
in his play rave the Boston man a
chance TO tie the score. and, although
Whitney played desperately and had
the lead in the last game, Haughton's
steadiness enabled him to run out the
game and capture the championship.
Haughton's longer reach and his
strength in the rallies won him the
match. Whitney's service. especially
in the second game. was severer than
H~aughton's. but the Boston man never
theless took the last two points of the
match on the New Workers. service.
Whitney played desperately, but
could not recover his service, while
Haughton's work in the rallies earned
for him many points.
In the last game. with the score IA to
13 in Whitney's favor, Haughton re-
fused a set IN his opponents service.
Whitney was unable to score the neces-
sary ace, while Haughton placed two
beautiful shots far out of Whitney's
reach and ran out the game, which
gave him the championship.

AMICIT|AS IN
FIRST PLACE.
Still Lead in the Interstate
Bowling League BOwIet Here
Last Night.

Although they tried hard to win
out in the match game of the Inter-
State Bowling League, on the Blood
good alleys, last night, the Amarites
of this city succeeded in winning only
one game, and they are still in sec
ond place, while the Amicitias are in
the front ranks.
The match game started about
$50 o'clock, when the A~quahongas,
of %Tottenville, broke in the first game
with the Amicitias, of Pleasant
Plains. The team from Pleasant
Plains won by 16S pins. The
second game was between the ANA
rites, of this city, and the Aquahon-
gas. The Amarites lost by only two
pins. They tried hard to make this
game.
The last game was between the
Amarites and the Amicitias. Both
are old time rivals and the local boys
knew that if they lost to them in this
gamefi they would have slight hopes
of forging ahead in the rest of the
match games. 1t was a lively game
all the way through and the Amarites
won out only after the hardest kind
of work, by eight pins.
The highest score was rolled by
Cause, of the Amicitias. He made 209
in the first game. The lowest score
was rolled by onarrott. of the Aqua
hongas, when he made 11S in the first
game.

THE TREE KILLER.

4 Curious Vine That F1Ourishes In
Lower Central America.
One Of the curious forest growths of
the isthmus OF Panama and lower Cen
trail America in general is the vine
which the Spaniards call matapalo, or
tree killer" This vine first starts in
life as a climber upon the trunks Of the
large trees, and, owing to it's marvel
ously rapid growth, o on reaches the
lower branches. At this point it first
begins to put out its 'feelers'-tender,
harmless looking root shoots, which
10 reach the ground and become as
firmly fixed as the parent stem. These
hundreds of additional sap tubes give
the whole vine a renewed lease Of life,
and it begins to send out its aerial ten
drills in all directions. These intwine
themselves tightly around every limb
Of the tree, ever creeping to the very
farthermost tips and squeezing the life
out OF both bark and leaf. Things 60
on at this rate but a short while before
the forest giant is compelled to sue
cumb to the gigantic parasite which is
sapping it's lifeblood. Within a very
few years the tree rots and falls away,
leaving the matapalo standing erect
and hollow, like a monster vegetable
devilfsh lying upon it's back with it's
horrid tentacles clasped together high
In the air.

Sir Roger de Coverley obliged his
Ghaplain to deliver sermons written by
1Amous old divines In lieu Of original
Ureachments, and Addison assures us
mat many clergymen would do well to
adopt the plan, but most congregations
prefer a minister who speaks his w
thoughts, however mediocre they may
y.
The New Orleans States says that a
6lshop, commenting on the aversion of
congregations to sermon reading, tells
mis- story:

Guides That Tempt Unwary Travel

Guides That Tempt Unwary Travel
ers Into Feats Of Danger.
More than half the accidents in the
Alps occur to those who have not the
pluck to turn back. The guides are
too often in favor Of going on from
professional motives. They have very
few weeks to earn their living in, and
it is a sort Of tragedy for them to miss
a single climb. For the same reason
they are given to urging a party on to
climb difficult and expensive peaks
that are really beyond their strength.
They regard tourists as SO much bag
gage which they can at need almost
carry on the rope. The only climb,
therefore, which they regard as dan
gerous Is a "traverse"-on which an
accident to their tourist may neal
death to themselves. Climbing straight
up or down they feel fairly certain of
sustaining any strain on the rope. 1t
Is most important, therefore, that ev-
cry party should use its WI unim-
peded judgment in regard to every ex-
petition. The great danger In places
like Zermatt and Chamonix is that
there are a large number Of unemploy-
ed guides always waiting about to
catch the unwary traveller and tempt
him into a difficult and expensive
climb. He will get far more pleasure
out of the sport if he begins with the
cheap and easy and works gradually
up to difficult. There is no especial
merit in being frightened half out Of
your life.-London News.
