WRESTLING
HOW THEY LOOK
Comparison of Measurements and Victories of John E. Kelly
 and Young Muldoon.

At the present writing 1t looks very much as though Manager Joe LawlOr will be more than satisfied that he gave the wrestlers such a good offer for next Thursday night i'll his new gymnasium down in Sinionsyille. Al most every one interested in wrest- ling is talking of that match between Kelly of this city and Young Mul. doom" of New York. Kelly has his friends and he has his enemies as well, as who has not. He has made mistakes and he sees now just where be could have been at the top Of the heap had he paid more attention to what some of his best friends told him. He, wants to come back into the limelight once more and he is train ing faithfully to get back. He be. lieves he is capable of doing all the lightWeights in this state yet.
 He will make the fight of his life in this match Thursday night, for it means everything to him. Ifshe is de feated he must retire as an aspirant for lightweight honors, while if he wins it means there are three men in this city who will back him against Ed O'Connell or any other lightweight in the state for any amount of mon. ey. It is well understood that he is going up against one of the best light weight wrestlers in the country and it was for this purpose the match was made. If Kelly can hold off or de- feat Muldoon he is still il line for the Championship. If he cannot he must retire from the field.
 Muldoon is confident he can defeat the local boy. He believes that Kelly has gone back but he is not losing any time getting into condition just the same. He does not want to be taken by surprise and he will be fit as a hddle when he does get on the mat. He too, is looking for other things. He wants a crack at O'Connell, and if he defeats Kelly he will get it. 4 comparison Of the two men will be ir- teresting and the following measure ments and victories of the two are given:

THE PUGILIsTS
THE NAME O'BRIEN
Clever Boxer Explains How He Came to Change His Name
 More Fight News.

No doubt many people have often wondered how Jack O'Brien ever came by the name he uses in the ring and is best known under. As nearly ey- eIybody knows. it is not Jacks right name. his full name being Joseph Francis Anthony Hagan. In conver- sation with Boston Herald reportei. the other night Jack told many inter esting stories, but that regarding the name of Jack O'Brien" perhaps was the most interesting.
 Ten years ago. when he was boy Of IS years, he became interested fin boxing. Billy Paine, the old PhiIadel- phia fighter, who now claims Boston as his home, gave Joseph a few lessons and the latter showed surprising abil- Ify. About that time there was an amateur tournament in Philadelphia which O'Brien wanted to enter. but his folks being thoroughly adverse to hghting. Hagan knew he could not well fight under his own name, so he entered under the name of Jack OBrien.' which. by the way, was the name claimed by about the most mod est and quiet young man in the neigh borhood. Under this name O'Rrien fought his first fight and won. going through without mark or a scar of any kind. Some time later. at another tournament, Jack won again. and this time brought home gold watch which he won, and also two blacK eyes. Upon seeing the latter his fath- CT gave him quite a lecture on the evils of prize fighting.
 But" said Jack. "I have won a gold watch. father" This had none Of the soothing effects on the old gen tleman that Jack had hoped for. and the old man advised his son to keep his face out of such places.
 But Jack went along fighting. under the same name. still against the wish es of his folks. His rise was rapid. and now he enjoys the title of cham. pion. which none will deny him the right to prefix to his name. but still in the handsome Hagan household in Philadelphia there is strong aversion to fighting. and the family. which is a large and healthy one. while always hoping for Jacks success while in tb,, ring. is also praying for the day when Jack will quit the ring and devote his energies and brain to the pursuit of real estate business, which he is also in and doing quite we'll at.
 OBrien. however. realizing what fighting has done for him in tLe past. and how it has helped him to attain the objects of his desire. will stick to the game for a while longer but says that he will not keep at ii until he is battered and bruised, but hopes to re- tire. as Jeffries did, an undisputed champion.
 To-day Jack carries not a mark of any kind to brand him as fighter. and the usual earmarks of the slugger are missing on his countenance This is on account of the wonderful clev- erness of OBrien and his ability to protect himself from the punches of the sluggers. .....

HARTLEY NOT PLEASED.

Iolyoke. Jan Sword was received in Holyoke Saturday from Walter lCbickD Hartley of last years base ball team. that he would not come 10 Hol- yoke this year unless he was offered a larger salary than the management stipulates at present.
 He received letter last week from President Jens J. Madsen containing an offer of salary for this year, but as it was smaller than he received last year from Holyoke he would not con slider it. If Holyoke will offer the money Hartley says that he will play with the club next year.

WILL BE FAST.

When Battling Nelson and Terry McGoyern meet in their six round bout in Philadelphia. one of the hottest slug ging matches on record will probably result. McGoyern Is sure to wade in with a world Of punches. with the idea of securing a quick knockout. But as Nelson relishes this sort of thing and can punch ike a middleweight. there is snre t0 be sensational dOings from the first tap Of the gong. Terry has a weak jaw and that may mean his un- doing unless he can outpunch the Bat tier. which is not believed 10 be possi- ble. Judging from the interest shown in this mill the men will draw q SD 60 house. There will be plenty Of bet ting that the bout will not go the limit
