WRESTLING
THEY ARE READY
Crapplers Waiting For the Bell al the Simonsville Athletic Club
 Rooms To-Night.

Great will be the work on the mat down in Simonsville this evening when the six grapplers will go at each other for glory and the coin that may be coming their way. All are trained to the hour and each man expects to win. As but three can be declared the winners some other three must be dis appointed. Can you tell who will be the winners and who will be the dis. appointed ones? It is no easy pick ing and you will think so after you see the men work this evening.
 The first preliminary will bring to- gether Murphy of New Haven and George Gresham of this city for one half-hour Murphy will show the sports just what he wanted to do to Kid KeIloe but Gresham says that he will do no such thing. He will be there with Murphy every minute of the half hour and he will make the New Havener step some to win. Leon Filler of TOrringtOn will face Max Gordon, formerly of Naugatuck, but now of Hartford, in the second pre- lminary. This match cost more than any preliminary ever given in this city. It will be red hot one from the start to finish for Filler believes there is no man of his weight in the state of Connecticut who can throw him.
 The main contest will be the cheese" however, and the sports will be treated to one of the fastest match es that has been seen here in many years. John F. Kelly will attempt to throw Jack Roach two falls in one hour of actual wrestling. This match | will have to be fast for Kelly must ! go at his man right from the start if he expects to win. There will be no fouling or sparring to amount to any thing and each will strive to humiliate | the other. It is case of dead sore against each other and the conse, quences will be q battle royal to the end
 One point that the management want to strongly impress on the pub lie is this. There are only two hun dred and fifty twenty-five seats. After cent seats left iOCeysiress artm art af these are gone no more tickets at that price will be sold. The management desires to make this fact known St
 that those who come late and find nc
 twenty-five cent seats left will have nc
 chance to kick.
 The first preliminary will start al
 s o'clock and if you want one of tn,
 cheap seats you must be there oi
 time. The best seats. however. par,
 the fifty and seventy-five cent one
 and here you will be sure of seein:
 all the matches clearly and knowin;
 that you will have your seat if vol
 want to get out between the matches

TRUTH ABOUT ERNE.

There is no truth in the rumor that Frank Erne of Buffalo, the former lightweight champion, is to succeed Billy Dole as boxing instructor at Yale "Yale does not care to teach prize ring fighting" said MT Dole. "and while I may be getting old and all that the size of my classes does not diminish The veteran instructor is not disturbed by the rumofs of Ernes visit to New Haven.
 MT Dole says that Erne has been sent for by one of his former pupils. who evidently is not satisfied with sci entiic boxing. and desires to try the professional brand. This student. he says. has engaged in several prize fights around New Haven during the past fall. What instructions the Buff falo lightweight hands out will be done in private. outside the precincts of the Yale gym. It is understood that mem bers of the Cloister.

THE DIAMOND
MAY BE TROUBLE
Jack Bagley of This City Signed By Holyoke Sam Kennedy
 Here Yesterday.

Jack Bagley of this city, who has been playing base ball in the Tri-State league for the past few seasons, may wear Connecticut league uniform this season. Jack is a Brooklyn boy and since his departure from this city he has made good in the outlaw league. Manager Flemming of the Holyoke team claims he has signed Bagley to play first base on his team this season. This may cause dispute between Dan O'Neil of Springfield anr Manager Flemming of Holyoke,. Bag ley is on the reserve list of the Spring field team, his name being placed there by Roger COnnor when he was man. ager of that team. He has refused to play on the Springfield team for sev- eral seasons for reasons of his own. Philadelphia at one time was making bid for the Waterbury boy. but for some reason the deal fell through. It is possible that the two Massa achusetts managers may come to some agree ment between themselves and that Bagley will be fixture on the HOl- yoke team. Bagley has been playing star game for the York team in Pennsylvania and he has been rated as one of the best first basemen in the league and has improved wonderfully in his hitting. The fans of this city would like to see Jack in Connecticut league uniform.
 ala4Ii sSJ ss h,1r Sam Kennedy was ii town yester. day and he had quite little confer ence with Manager Durant. and ac, cording to all reports, the conference was not harmonious one. Kennedy was willing to be traded to New Lon don for Jessup. but Manager Durant could not sec the advantage in such a trade, as he considered that the ex' change would not balance as evenly ] as it should. Kennedy then wanted his release outright. but, this also was refused. X fact is made, known now that probably was not generally under stood before and that is that Kenned. has affixed his name to a Waterbury contract. This holds him good ant hard and Sam will have to come dowI 1 from his high horse before he cal think of playing base ball in any o
 the regular leagues. There are othel matters behind this controversy witl
 Kennedy which Manager Duran
 wants thoroughly explained before an,
 business is done with Sam. and in al
 probability the league directors vii
 be called on to make Kennedy act oi ] the level with the local management
 He must produce ''the goods in othe
 words, before he can hope for a trad
 or anything else. Manage
 Durant has signed eighteen men so ia
 and the names will be announced in ; few days.

 LOCAL BOY SUTTON.
 Fort Wayne, Ind, Feb 2.-Captain Canayan put in his pony rushers Mon, day night, Harkins and Leydon, and the little fellows had the Indianapolis team completely faded all through the game. The score was [ to 2.
 The Indians seemed daZed at the speed displayed by the rushers. assist ed by Captain Canavan. They tried all the tricks they knew of the game which are quite q few by the way. but it was of no avail against the floor work of the rushers and the superb defense put up by McGrath and sut- ton. -
 The Indians were blanked in the first period while Leydon was caglng two. In the second period the home team counted two more. one by liar kins and one by Canavan, before Hlg- gins made marker for the visitors Leydon also made one ill this period Canavan started the scoring i'll the third period and Billy Leydon, just to made it interesting, again put in a marker, making the last score for the home team.

MAY FIGHT HERE
Jack Palmer English Champion May Meet O'Brien in This Country
 More About Boxers.

There are strong probabilities that after the Mathematician fight i'll Philadelphia. the next big battle in this neck O woods will be between Jack O'Brien and Jack Palmer. the champion heavyweight of England.
 This fight will be for the heavy weight championship of the world, and as matters stand at present it is billed to come off in Bettinson's National Sporting club in dear old London.
 Tom O'Rourke, however, who has been skirmishing and nosing about like a terrier in a ratty stable for q couple of top-notchers to open his new club in Delaware county. Pennsylvania, a few days ago resumed diplomatic rela- tions with the redOubtable OBriell. with the result that the Philadelphian has cabled to England asking if Mir Palmer cannot journey to this side to settle the question of superiority.
 Jack very temptingiy sets forth the fact that there is more money to be gained from a fight in this country, and ill his letter says he is not without hope that this trifiing detail will ap. pcal somewhat to the British soul of the Palmer person.
 O'Rourke will outbid the English club for the match, and will start in by naming S15.000.
