COO Dozen overalls Stolen from RrattIe-
boro Overall Co.

The Boston Herald of Friday told the
following story concerning the Brattle-
poro overall company, which moved its
business from this town to Keene last
year:
A pair of overalls hanging outside the
door of a secondhand shop in the North
end, where rummage sales are continu-
ously conducted. were the clue to the
solving of a mystery of svstdmatic
looting of an overall mandatory IN
Keene. N H., yesterday.
In passing through the street a gem
tleman noted the high quality of the
oveFalls, and was astounded when he
noticed the card announcing them for
sale for IS cents. He examined the over
alls and instantly recognized them as
the product of his factory at Keene. Then
he noticed that while this shopkeeper had
a large supply of the goods, neighboring
stores were as well stocked
The manufacturer was George w.
DARCY of the manufacturing firm Of that
name having offices at n Summer street,
and a factory at Kaene Mr., Darcy
went to station / and asked Capt, Kim
ball to help him solve the mystery. He
explained that the overalls which were
on sale in secondhand shops at 35 cents
a pair cost him As cents to manufac-
ture.
The manufacturer interested Capt.
Kimball and he, with Special Officer Nc
Davitt went with the manufacturer on
a tour of investigation. They recovered
over 600 dozen pairs Of overalls from the
shopkeepers, who claimed to be innocent
of any knowledge that the goods had
been got from the factory dishonesty.
The mystery Of the disappearance OF the
garments from the factory without the
knowledge Of the maker was solved when
1t was learned that a junk dealer has
been in the habit Of going to the Keene
factory from time to time to buy odds
and ends or rags. The overalls were
packed in the bottom Of great boxes and
then the junk and old RACES were put In
on top and shipped to this city. Once
here, the overalls were unpacked and af-
ter being cleaned and busted and pressed
into shape they were jobbed OFF to the
keepers of the small secondhand shops.

WRESTLING
THE YOUNG TURK
 MAKING GOOD
The Jap Failed to Throw Him Down South Farmer Burn.
 Wins.

That Sammy "The Turk" is making
 good in the southern country is evi- ldenced from the following story talk
 en from n Birmingham, Alabama pa
 per sammy says in letter that
 "The Jap' who wrestled with him | weighed forty-five pounds moro than
 he did, yet he failed to throw him. The following story also tells of an
 other wrestler well known in these | parts.
 Farmer Burns, the Iowa middle weight wrestler. remains m undefeat- | ed champion. so far as performances in Birmingham are concerned. At the skating rink the other night before q
 crowd of two thousand people, he de- feated William Demetral, the Greek
 Demon, winning the first and last falls of best two out of three match.
 The Greek won the second fall and
 here 1t might be remarked that then
 for the first time, the Birmingham
 public saw the Farmers two should
 CTS on the mat, as in all his previous
 matches here he has won in straight falls. The match was exciting and interesting to every spectator The
 Greek made decidedly the best show ing against Burns of any of his pre- vious antagonists here and forced the Farmer to let out several links fur ther than he has yet done in this city. However, his superiority was
 never in question except at the last Of the second fall, when the crowd were electrified by the sudden realization that Burns was in hold from which there was no escape.
 The first preliminary was between two juvenile wrestlers. Charles Dor
 man and Walter Schwantes. Dorman won after fourteen minutes of fast wrestling. in which both boys showed determination and grit. 1t was a very even match. ..... In the second preliminary the Jap, Wakita, contracted to throw 'The Young Turk" in twenty minutes, and signally failed to succeed. The Jap
 outweighed his opponent by twenty pounds but the greater skill and
 knowJedge of the game kept the Turk from ever being in serious danger. In the main event Burns won the | first fall after fourteen minutes of | fast and furious work. He secured q
 double Nelson and with the hold turning his man half over. suddenly shifted the entire weight of his body
 on the head and shoulders of his an | tagonist. gradually forced him to the
 mat. The second fall lasted thirteen
 minutes. For most of this time the Greek was on the defensive but final
 ly secured q half Nelson on Burns,
 with which. and crotch hold. he won
 the fall. Tn the third fall both men were out for blood and number of | wrestling tricks, never before seen
 here were used It was a rough fall. several choking holds being used. Burns more than once picked the
 Greek up bodily and slammed him to the fall. Burns won after eleven min
 utes. by the use of his deadly ham
 mer lock, which. up to that time, the
 Greek had evaded.
 A challenge was issued by Wasser. a Denver wrestler. to the winner Of the match. which Burns accepted. The
 Greeks manager also challenged
 Burns for another match with his man

THE PUGlLISTS
MANY BOXERS
 AFTER NELSON
All Believe Now He Will Be an Easy Mark-0 Other Fight
 News.

Charlie Neary, the Milwaukee tling Nelson, announces that he will not take part in any short round bouts the coming season unless he fails to get some long ones. He prefers fifteen to twenty round bouts. He is going after Nelson, Kid Herman, Benny Yanger and Jimmy Britt and will meet any one of them at any time and split purse any way they want, even to winner taking all.
 Neary says if he can beat Nelson and one other he will then go after Cans for the lightweight champion ship.
 Jack Dougherty may meet Rube Smith at Denver the latter part of this month. He received at offer Saturday.
 Jimmy Coffroth is far from think ing Nelson is impervious to knock out punch and declares he IS willing to bet $2,5OO that Willie Fitzgerald, the Brooklyn lightweight, can defeat Nelson.
 "It would be hard to pick light weight who would have better chance to knock out Nelson than this same boy Fitzgerald" says Coffroth. He has a punch that would do for Nelson. l did not think so three or four days before the fight, but the mashing that the Dane got from Cans will not do him any good. Be- fore that fight Nelson thought no man could hurt him with punch. Cans demonstrated the weakness of Nelsons position, and the Dane at last has realized he can be hurt.
 "If Fitzgerald was to fight Nelson am satisfied Battler would be licked, and licked decisively."
 J. Edward Britt does not mean to let Nelson rest. If he cannot get on with Cans the California boy will try and make Nelson fight.
 "I will fight Cans, either in Frisco or at Goldfield, for any portion of the purse that Cans may decide. I will fight at 133 pounds stripped. I be- lieve l am the master of the negro at that weight" says Britt.
 Referee Graney, who has returned to Frisco from Goldfield. said the next big fight between lightweights would take place in his town, in spite of the big purse offered by the Gold field magnates. Graney is close friends of Cans, and relies on this fact to bring the next fight to Fris- co. He said: "I know Cans will fight in Frisco for a smaller purse than Goldfeld offers. and will take per- centage of the receipts. am not sure if Britt will be his next oppon- ent."

With The i'upS.

Steve Kinney. the Milwaukee man who fights Joe Galligan at Davenport on September IS, expect to defeat Joe. Those who saw Galligan beat Unk Russell at Indianapolis say Joe is fighting better than ever now and 1t will take a fighter of more class than Kinney to win from him.
 Adam Ryan and Clarence English will hook up at Kansas City inside of a couple of weeks. The weight is 13S pounds.
 Dick Hyland and Eddie Hanlon have signed to meet for twenty rounds before the Hayes Valley Ath- letic club September 2s. This will be the first big fight since the earth quake.
 The match between Al Kaufman and Tommy Burns has finally been declared of. Transportation has been wired to Jim Flynn at Pueblo, Col. The big fellow is expected 10 leave Colorado this week and begin train ing as soon as he arrives in Los An geles for the battle with TonQy Burns in the Maud Junction pavilion September 2S.

EASTERN LEAGUE STANDING.
BASEBALL NOTES.

Patterson. x. J.. has won the pen nant in the Hudson River league.
 Norwich is finding the sleddine pretty rough up In Massachusetts.
 It Is said that lots of Worcester money was lying around loose before the game with good odds offered to the takers.
 The Worcestcrs nine was well jolt cd yesterday and will be different propositiOn when the Ponies go against 1t to-day.
 Twenty-Five hundred dollars a month for team that landed in fifth place ought to make the packers feel rather put out.
 It would be better If the season was started later in the spring and end later in the fall. The days of this week so far would be excellent base ball ones.
 Never mind George next season you will see the dollars roll in and not so many go out. The fans will be with you just the same when the spring of 1907 comes around.
 The New Haven team Is to play a series of games with a strong inde- pendent team in Meriden. Nearly half the Prairie Hens have departed elsewhere and their places will be filled by recruits.
 Tom Stankarl disappointed his friends by striking out on his first ap- pearancc. but made good with a hit next time. He also managed to cut considerable Ice in left field whlthcr he has hIrei to try to fill Steamer Fianagan's shoes.
 The All Cracks base ball team want to play the All Stars next Sun day. The All Cracks are composed of the following players: Yenacusky c. Stigberg D. Carroll ID. Telash 2b. Lusky ss. ]. McNellis 3b. Kearney IL. Donahue of. Klowberg If.

RACING
FIRST DAY AT
 HIPPODROME Hube Rigney's Horse Takes the Second Money Down in
 Bridgeport.

Bridgeport, Sept 12.-A small but enthusiastic crowd was present yes terday afternoon at the opening ol the five days meet at the Hippo drome park. The weather overhead was fine. but the track was rather heavy. Neverthelss some good rac' ing was seen.
 The first heat of the 2:21 pace purse $400, was started at 2:30 Frank Powell was in too good form yesterday to be beaten. He took the first and second heats. and dropped the third to Full View, which wal sent in to win. Full View took the pole after the first turn of this heat and was never headed. Carrakina, with Hodgins up, secured the place in the first and second heats. The second heat looked good for Powell until just before the stretch, when he broke, but regained his feet and won in a whipping finish from Carra- kina. The manner in which Full View went after the third heat brought a laugh from the crowd. After that heat, Full View became the favorite over Powell and Cara kina. Powell easily took the last heat.
 Megaphone was by far the best horse in the second race. the 2:17 pace, purse si00. Megaphone. with her owner, R. C. Bever, up, held back in the first heat, but copped the next three without trouble.
 Tn the first heat, Nat H., owned by H. NJ. Rigney of Waterbury. took things easily, and led all the way. with Red Sovereign following. Mega phone held of until the stretch. when she busted Red Sovereign from the place. Bever sent Megaphone in to win after that, and there was noth- ing to 1t. Megaphone took the lead in the second heat. and held Nat H. safely all the way. The third heat de- veloped a good race. Megaphone paced as steady as rock, and held the lead over Nat H. and C. O. D. until the wire. The final heat was a good race until the stretch. when Megaphone romped home with the money.
 The starter was s. N. KIatz of New York. The judges were Clif- ford Bradley and ]. E. Northrope. The summary:

Little Rock, Ark Sept 12.-A post-mortem examination of the re- mains of Con Griffin, who expired suddenly after a terrific boxing en- counter with Charles Smith, in South Little Rock, Sunday, shows that death resulted from a ruptured spleen, caused, 1t is alleged, by a blow which landed below the belt.
 The young pugulists had been friends. but rivals as boxers. They repaired to skating rink, with sev- eral followers of both as spacious place to witness the fight The gloves used were robbed of all pad ding.
 The first three rounds were hard fought. with honors even, but in the fifth Grifiln's friends resorted to res toratives until he finally collapsed in the center of the ring. He died shortly afterward. and Smith Is said by physicians to be temporarily in- sane from the hard fight.
