hold which looked effective and after fifteen minutes he was giving Barnes some hard work. Barnes wriggled into position from which he applied scissors hold on Crosby, forcing down the big fellows shoulders by means of his lower limbs in 19.57.
 In the second bout Crosby's strength didn't seem to be impaired. Barnes used his liveliest tactics ill avoiding the bear-crushing efforts of Crosby. but Jim allowed himself to be put into q position where Crosby's weight count ed. and when the local man was off balance the visitor quickly reached for neck hold and with the aid of his legs, bore Barnes down in TAO.
 No time was wasted in the third bout. and for five minutes the men went fast, neither having an adyan- tage long enough to encourage anyone. When Crosby got q half-Nelson on the local man in the tenth minute the crowd was expectant. but it was Barnes who showed the work which drew most applause, his stiff defense enabling him to get away aud work from tine top, a condition which wor- ried Crosby considerably, especially when Barnes closed in and completely smothered the efforts of the big fellow to reach for holds. With his legs around Crosby's body, Barnes put his man down in 14:42.
 In the half-hour preliminary, Her bert Hartley and Herbert Cam worked finely. neither gaining fall. Hartley. wearing some giddy greea tights. showed speed which he has never been capable of before and in Cam he had an opponent who was equally skilled and willing. It was the verdict of the spectators that the pre- lilninary was one of the best ever wit messed on the local mat
 Challenges were plentiful, Crosby announcing that Beell would be will ing to meet Barnes for any amount up to SJOO. Barnes replied to theIspeech by saying that Beell was q great man. but that he had no right to attempt to be matched with middleweights. Barnes bars none at 15S pounds. Joe Acton, middleweight champion of Great Britain, whose challenge from Hamilton. Ont, was read by Referee Tuohey. will probably be Barnes's next opponent. Acton wants match at once. A telegram was forwarded to Acton last night acccpong his chaL lenge for meeting for $200 side.
 The English crack wants the match tc he best three in five. and this is ac- ceptable to Barnes. who is in such splendid condition that he is pleased at the prospect of having long task If Acton is willing to come to Spring field for meeting "Wednesday night of next week the arrangements will be closed by wire today. Acton is q nephew of the great veteran of the same name and his work in England and on the European continent has been brilliant. In Buffalo recently he stayed twenty-five minutes with Frank Gotch. the heavyweight champion of America. Acton's speed is such that he can keep even men outweighing him by fifty pounds very busy.
 Charles Lawson of Naugatuck. Conn, issued challenge to meet any feather weight. and Rob Sommeryille an. nounced his acceptance.

HOLYOKE PLAYERS TRADED.

Manager Thomas V. Fleming of the Holyoke team has traded the follow ing players with John Carney, mana ger of the Sioux City Gowa) club: Re Inenter, McCabe and Hodges of last years team, securing in return Catch. CT Baerwald, Outfielders Pulsifer and Wilkes and Pitchers Bartos and Voltz
 Manager Fleming writes that Eoltz was considered the best plI,her in the New England league for three years and last spring was sold to the Bos. tons of the National league. For seme reasan, however, Voltz would not re- port to the Bostons and he was finat ' sold to Sioux City. Schincel, the last years HolyoEe crackerjack, recom- mends Noltz very highly.
 Wilkes and Bartos were drafted h, the Sioux City team last fall from tE c Iowa league. Carney did not want to consider Wilkes in the present trade with Fleming. for he finished the sea. son last year with Sioux City in fine style. Bal'tos is left-hand pitcher, who finished with Sioux City, winning five out of the six games he pitched. Bartos originally came from Keokuk, Iowa. and Wilkes from Burlington of the same state. Pulsifer played first and outtield for Sioux City last year. Before that he was considered one of the stars of the New England league.
 Baerwald. the catcher. was the reg ular catcher for Sioux City last year. He played with Fleming tin bet4erado Springs three years ago and has been in the Western league altogether for four years. Fleming says that with Baerwald and Schincel he is not afraid of whom the Connecticut clubs in the other cities may sign.
 Fleming says that if Mccormick will not report to HolyOke this year. a couple of good men may be obtained for him. and efforts will he made to get good trade for Hartley. Mana ger Fleming has notified Secretary Farrell of the national board of his trades to date.

THE PUGILISTS TERRY IS STRONG
The Former Champion as Rugged as He Ever Was s-lnteresting
 Doings of the Boxers.

McGovern arrived in New York this week and looked to be ill splendid health. He told his friends that he would begin training soon for his fight with Nelson, which takes place in Philadelphia on March IA, and also eX- pressed supreme confidence ill his abil- ity to win decisively. Last year Me Govern was q nervous wreck, and stories were circulated to the effect that he would never be allowed to fight again. His queer behavior lent some color to these reports, but his ill., ness was only temporary, for to-day he is q powerful, energetic, clear-headed young man, whose appearance alone will convince anybody that nothing is wrong with him. Since McGoyern knocked out Tommy Murphy of liar lem in punch he has regained all of the old confidence which made him champion of all the featherweights. The two defeats administered by Young Corbett temporarily broke Me Governs heart and robbed him of his former spirit, but he has gradually re- covered his grip, and at present seems to be the Terry of days gone by. In speaking of the Nelson go McGovern said: T will probably weigh 130 pounds when get into the ring, possi' bly, 12S, but I will be as strong as a bull and faster than ever I've got the same old punch and if I land it you can bet that Nelson will feel it. Nel- son will have to train to make 133 pounds, as he is very heavy just Bow, So that he will out-scale me by at least five pounds. But that will not make any difference as far as I am con cerned. If win I will make match with Cans right away. and will agree to his terms. l beat him in q couple of rounds once. and as far as l know the fight was on the level. I am after the lightweight championship and want to win the title in a fight, not oil paper
