CHAMPIONS At WRESTLING.
Metropolitan Association Tourney winds
Up az Boys Club.

The wrestling championships of the Metro
politan Association of the A.. A. L. were COM
pleted at the Boys Clubhouse last night.
There were a lot of fast bouts and the sport
except for some misguided work on the part
Of the referees, thoroughly enjoyable. The
best bout of the evening by all odds was that
between Fred NarRanes of the New York
A. c. who won the 1853 pound championship
against r.. Tisney OF the st. Georges A. c.,
in the semi-1nal round.
Sarganes had n hard man to beat in the
Olympic champion but he Rrappled with
the policeman successfully. The decision,
like almost all the others in the big matches
was on points. In the final Narganes had to
grapple for the full fifteen minutes with
Rudolph Wolken Of the Boys Club, although
the result was hardly in doubt.
The surprise of the competitions was the
overthrow Of Benny Bradshaw of the BOYS
in the l5 pound class final. Bradshaw
has been winning right along for the last
two years and held the title. In the final
he met Henry Spanger. of the National Turn
Verein, the latter being somewhat refreshed
from a bye In the semi-lnal round. Brad
shaw did his best. but Spanger never let him
get up from the mat once the Turn Verein
man was on top. In fact he was on top for
nearly fourteen minutes out of the fifteen.
The crowd, although loyal to the smiling
Benny. chereed Spanger along.
Bauers of the National Turn verein and
Mehnert of the same Clue won workmanlike
victories in the il6 nolind and 1875 pound
classes; TIL National Turn yerein won three
SThampi9nshlFR s.n the soS Ssw York A.. G. one; the
Club one. Charles Eng won a rather unex-
pected victory over Jaeckel of the New York
A. c. in the las pound class.
