sHARKEY AND GALLAGHER.

Tom Sharkey and Dennis Gallagher have posted $50 apiece with Andrew Kelly as the first part of their $1 ,O00 side bet on the result of their mixed style wrestling match, which is to take place February 28 at Manner chor hall, Fifty-sixth street and Third avenue, New York.
 Sharkey has done very little wrest- ling in public in the last two years, but he has kept himself in good con dition by daily gymnasium work. At present he weighs about 210 pounds. Gallagher will weigh about ITO pounds when he enters the ring and Sharkey probably will have weight advantage of about thirty pounds.
 The difference in weights does not worry Gallagher. He claims the mixed style championship and as this match is to be mixture of Graeco- Roman and catch-as-catch-can, best three falls out of four, Gallagher thinks he has the better chances to win. He is doing a lot of road work despite the indictment weather.

WRESTLING IN SPRINGFIELD.

Oscar Sundstrom of Worcester is to wrestle Jim Barnes in Springfield tonight. One bout will be Graeco- Roman, the other catch-as-catch-can, and the man receiving the quicker fall will name the style of the third bout. The Cuban Wonder is the only man who ever beat Sundstrom at his own weight, 168 pounds. He has been wrestling professionally for the past half dozen years. His first match was with Harvey Parker, who was meeting all corners at a Worces- ter theater. Parker failed to throw Sundstrom once in an hour, but used him up so badly that he was crippled for several weeks. Sundstrom's dear est wish now is to get on a match with Parker. Among the men he has met and defeated are John McGrath of Worcester; Charles Reineche of Newark, N. J.; Prof Mike Dwyer, whom he defeated at Richmond, Va, and who was President Roosevelt's wrestling instructor; Ivor Sund- strom of Southbridge; Nicholas FL liott of Worcester, Tom Jenkins's old wrestling partner; Yankee Rogers, whom he put out at Fitchburg in one and one-half minutes, and Ale Sam uelson.

POLO WHITES.
They gave us a hard rub.

They gave us hard rub. Quite a mix-up all around last night.
 Why is Wallingford trying out am- ateur goal tenders when John Allen is open for an engagement?
 They are kicking about Sutton's pads now and say they are too big. Getting sore around the circuit be- cause the boy Is kicking them out, eh? According to the report just in the new Hartford goal tender has doors on his feet.
 New Haven gave us run last night all right, much better than was expected. Still Waterbury was only toying with them at that.
 Secretary William Peet was in town last evening. Sorry we did not see you, Bill, but we were enjoying the minstrel bill of the Talmas and 1t was too good to neglect.
 Will some one kindly pin a well- fed grapevine onto Dickey Pierce. He has developed into the entire Bridge port line-up.-New Haven Register. Bill Hanna of the New Britain club Is bringing on man from the west just to have good player in reserve in case anything happens. Wise guy, this Hanna.-New Haven Leader.
 Sharon's lineup in the Western Polo league includes Jason, Daly, MacGilvray, Wiley, Doherty and Nal lory-all players who flourished dur ing the halcyon days of polo in this state.
 New Haven and New Britain suits are so nearly alike that the players have hard work to find their own team mates. Bone expects to buy a set of white jerseys to be worn by his team only when playing New Britain.
 No use talking. the big cities don't care for polo. Pittsburg is the latest case in point. The Niles team was shipped there and played two games. and then had to drop back to Niles. It is now talked among the sporting writers in Pittsburg that it would be a good idea to boom the game in that  city by having the winning team of the Ohio and Pennsylvania league meet the pick of all the players in the other teams of the league for a Pittsburg series in the springtime.
 There has been some discussion around the polo circuit over the size of the pads used by the Waterbury goal tender. They are larger than are generally seen, but they are not up to the measurement of the pads that H. Starkie used when he tend ed goal for Tom Cotter in the Colise- um. Starkie was the originator of the Teddy Bear pads for the feet. It is believed that the league will pass a vote defining the size of pads to be worn as the base ball men legislated against the size of the pillow gloves.

CANS MATCHED AGAIN,

Joe Cans and Harry Lewis have been matched. The fight is to be to a finish for the lightweight champion ship. a side bet of $5,0O0 and the big gest purse that may be offered.
 Cans posted forfeit of $1.0OO and Harry Lewis's father has agreed to put up his 1000 by noon Thursday.
 Lewis was represented by his father, who acted for Emerson Dick inson of Denver, Col, the boys man. ager.
 There was little trouble in agree ing upon the various points. Cans insisting that the money be cut 75 per cent to the winner and 25 per cent to the loser and the weight to be 133 pounds at the ringside.
 The men agreed that they should not fight after their present matches, Cans with Britt and Lewis with Mike (Twin) Sullivan, and bids for the match are to be opened at noon Thursday, February 2S. with Bert Crowhurst, Philadelphia.
 This waiting for bids has not amounted to such a much recently, but this Is a mill that should attract the bidders.
 In his three years fighting Harry Lewis has been a very busy boy, and while number of his battles have been of the no decision variety. over in Philadelphia he has earned a right to meet the champion.
 He met Cans in Philadelphia in one of those six-round pink teas last June. and he was there at the end of the sixth. That alone gives him something like a claim for this match. and there is little danger of bids not coming in at a rate that should make the purse worth while.
 There has been some uneasiness about the advertised Britt-Gans bat tie. and it may be that the champion will not meet the native son after all. As for the engagement that Lewis has with Mike tTwin) Sullivan, it should not hurt much, unless the Twin should win. In that event it looks as though Cans would have to fight Mike before he is entirely out of the woods.
 Tom O'Rourke, manager of Jack Blackburn. is also after Cans, who said yesterday that he would take the Philadelphia pugilist on to a fin- ish if the proper inducements were made. Cans furthermore declares that he is ready to make a match with Battling Nelson as soon as the latter comes to his terms. Cans in- sists upon getting SO per cent of the purse, win or lose. if he fights Nelson again. and that the weight must be I33 pounds. ringside. the men to scale but once.

WORKED KELLY TRICK.

A player who was with the Evans vile club of the Central league last season tells how a kid" catcher worked the late Mike Kelly's old trick of throwing a potato to the out field SO that a base runner would come in from there thinking the bali had been thrown wild.
 "Our catchers were all laid up,' says the player. "and we had a kid catching for us. During a flaming bee one of the Terre Haute fellows was telling about KeIiy's stunt The kid inquired carefully as to just how it was worked
 ".It can't be done he said
 ~'It was done hotiy answered the man telling the story.
 The colt didn't argue the ques- ton. but when the game started threw a potato with all his strength to the outfeid. The Terre Haute chap vho had been telling the story dug for home from third The kid tagged him out with the ball
 --I just wanted to see for myself: it is . good trick explained the catcher. while the admirer of MIke Kelly juss stood around snd svors. .

 Other News.

Hartford, Feb 6.-Manager Alfred Anderson said yesterday that the wrestling carnival at the Auditorium would be on February 25 or 26. The main bout will be catch-as-catch-can between the Terrible Turk and Hjal- mar Lundin. who makes his head quarters as much in this city as any place. The Terrible Turk is Kara kahoff, who weighs 210 pounds, and who is the only Turkish wrestler of any consequence at the present time. The other big Turkish wrestlers have returned to their native country.
 Edward J. O'Connell, the wrestling instructor at Yale, and Philip Bone fant of New Britain will probably take part in the intermediate bout. They wrestled in New Britain last week without fall for one hour. O'Connell is supposed to be better man than the New Britain grappler and he claimed that his arm was in bad shape when he tackled Bone fant The Frenchmen in Hartford and New Britain have great deal of faith in Bonefant and they do not think that any one can beat him.

FIGHTS IN DASBuRY.

Danbury. Feb s.--At the Danbury Athletic club last night in the second round of a scheduled six round bout, Jef Doherty of New Haven walked into Hook O'Brien of Philadelphia and knocked him out. The match was Jef's from the start and fin the first round Hook licked the dust of the ring while the referee slowly counted eight Then he staggered to his feet and stood the hammerfng of the New Haven wonder until the end of the round. The second round commenced with few feeble passes by Hook. but Doherty landed a tell ing blow which sent Hook to sweet oblivion after seeing the whole solar system in different attitudes

MANAGER LANNON'S TEAM.

Manager Hanlon of the Cincinnatis will have not only an experimental team this year but he will also try out lot of pitchers that are now in the National league. He has the veteran Jake Weimer. who will probably be the teams mainstay in the box, the other twirlers being Hall. Mason, Es- sich, Coakley, Hit, Mincham. Chap belle, Leary and Kennedy. Coakley was with the Philadelphia Americans for several years and in good condi- tion may be of much assistance. Mason. who pitched for Baltimore last year, was practically the best boxman in the Eastern league, al- though Crockett, now of the New York Americans, was very close be- hind him in point of effectiveness.
