 to meet the big Swede at his favorite style, Graeco-Roman. Lundin agreed and both men trained hard for the
 bout. They were at 1t, hammer and

 beads of precipitation rolled of their
 huge pink bodies their skin glis- tened like polished granite. Lundin was the aggressor a good part of the time, but Pons never let up and just before the close of the bout he was the upper man.
 At the finish Pons stepped to the footlfehts and said that he had de- feated Tom Jenkins and Frank Gotch at Graeco-R Roman and he considered Lundin the toughest man he had ever tackled at that game The bout gave excellent satisfaction and the Dig crowd frequently manifested it approval

ONE MORE REPLY.

Sporting Editor of the Democrat: | This fs an answer to the message ! from the dead. l would like to make 1 a few statements in reply to Mi Heery's and Mr Cronan's remarks, MT Heery came out Sunday and said how I would not have anything to do with the Second Ward club. That was a very foolish thing for Mr Heery to say as am 8 member of that club, and Mr Heery isn't. MT Heery was chosen manager of the football team before the club was started, hut when the club was or ganized MT Heery d!d not join. MT Heery also made statement that none of the Second Ward club knew anything about the letter published in the Democrat Saturday. I would like to inform him of the fact that one of his best packers had a hand in that letter. Anything I write my self 1 am not afraid to sign my name to.
 Regarding Jack Baeley, there was no knock at all. It simply said that he coached the Cadets which MT Cunningham told me himself.
 In reply to MT Cronan's statement, he is a good friend of the Secon Ward bunch at the end of the sea- son, but knocked them through the state at the start. He also came out and stated that had an awful nerve to use the name of the Second Wards Now, to show Mir Cronan that he is talking through his bonnet. I wish to inform him that put the matter before a meeting of the club and told them that few fellows wanted me to organize team and would like to use the clubs name. The club voted on this and was perfectly will ing for us to go ahead.
 Mir Cropan also stated in the pa ner that Hayes. Egan, Brandt and Higgins were dropped from the All Waterbury team. Now he goes bac'- on that statement I know myself that all those fellows left of their own free will. hut MT Cronan didn't say so early in the season. Now if were to tell all about Cronan's false statements 1t would take up th' whole sno-ting page of the Demo- crat. If Cronan is anvions to find out about those statements. to cut matters short and out of the papers, I am wilrro fo do SO.
