TAKE MAT HONORS New Haven Boys Win Two Wrestling Bouts at
 Hartford. YOUNG HACK SKILLFUL Izzie Winters Secures One Fall from Horace Stevenson ill Eleven
 Seconds.

New Haven took the honors in the big wrestling carnival in the Auditor ium at Hartford Monday night. It was the first of the season pulled off in the shape of an inter-city tournament be- tween Hartford and New Haven ex- perts. The wrestling was very inter esting and will probably lead to meets in this city and in other places throughout the state.
 Olsen of Hartford was up against Young Hack of this city and he had an advantage of thirty or forty pounds. Young Hack was skillful enough, but he found it hard working over Olsen's immense bulk. Fred Ma lone was to have been pitted against Olsen, but he didn't come up. After about twenty minutes of mat work, Young Hack decided that he had enough and Billy Mannix tapped Olsen on the back as sign of victory.
 Izzie Winters secured one fall from Horace Stevenson in eleven minutes. A crotch and q half Nelson was used. The 125-pound champion was handi- capped by a few boils on his left arm and he had to do most of the tugging with his right wing.
 The opening bout was between Young Oscar Johnson of Hartford and Henry Parker of New Haven. Neither secured a fall and they were upon their feet most of the time. This was called draw
 Harry Greenterg of this city won
 ne fall from Smiler Livingston of Hartford. After four minutes of hard work, Greenberg secured a half Nelson and hammerloek and the Srniler was pinned down as if his shoulders were made to fit a paper pattern. There was but little choice in wrestling knowledge between these boys, but Greenberg was the stockier and he had the advantage of getting strong by Playing on the Clinton football team all season and helping to teach some of the Yale students how to box. While the contestants in the windup were getting ready, Greenberg did some fancy tunbling stunts on the mat.
 Jimmie Welch of New Haven and Kid Smith of Hartford did not show up and to take their place there was an exhibition between Jack Botwlck of New Haven and H. D. Morgan of Detroit.
