WRESTLING
WON MATCH . ON A FLUKE
Sampson Thrown Through the Ropes and is Stunned--0ne
 in England Too.

Pittsfield, Nov 15.-In the most exciting wrestling match yet seen in
 Pittsfield, Oscar Sampson was last
 night declared beaten by Charles
 Alderman of Rochester. Sampson s
 defeat came through an accident and
 left little glory for Alderman, though it was admitted that the
 Rochester man put up a gallant fight
 against Sampson, who outweighed
 him by ten pounds.
 After each man had obtained a fall, Sampson was picked up and thrown with such force by Acker- man that the Pittsfield man shot clear of the ring and crashed against a chair. His head came into con- tact with the chair and he was stunned. Though wobbly, Sampson was willing to try it again, but Ref cree Camille Bushway ruled that he wasn't fit to go back on the mat Sampson had gained the first fall in 2S minutes 40 seconds, on a half Nelson and inside crotch hold Ack- erman tok the next in minutes, on like hold.
 . Alderman said he was willing to tackle Sampson again as he did not consider the victory clean cut. He also issued a challenge to Jim Barnes of Springfield, the middleWeight champion. Herman Miller, husky young German wrestler, put in ap- pearance and challenged Sampson and Alderman. Sampson accepted and match is on for $50 a side and 15 per cent of the receipts. It will be contested in the Acad9my of Music, November 27, the German agreeing to pin Sampson twice in an hour or forfeit the match.
 sam Anderson, the wrestler, who has come back from abroad looking for matches. had q lively time defeat ing Stockley. the English champion. at Nigan some time ago A portion of the story in an English sporting paper says:
 After the strenuous battle had been in progress Fl minutes Stock ley. who was holding out signals Of distress, deemed it prudent to appeal to his trainer for refreshment. which was contrary to the conditions of the match without it was mutually agreed to indulge in a rest. Anderson there upon knocked the bottle out of his opponents hand. and the Lancastrian retaliated by striking him ill the teeth amid intense excitement. The unfor- tunate episode caused considerable uprOar, and much to the consternation Of the Wigan mans supporters. he walked to his corner, with the result that he suffered the penalty. Finding that defeat was in sight St0ckley re- fused the request of Anderson to con tlnue the contest amid groans and hOOting, as the former sat scornfully and smiling at the unsympathetic crowd. It was undoubtedly the humil- iating moment in the life of the Vii ganer and his unsportsmanlike con duct was condemned on all sides. But the crowd proved themselves sports- men to the backbone. and when An LlersOn shook hands with Mir Lot Taylor of Oldham. who is the guide. and friend of the loser, the invader received quite an oya- tiOn."

Yale has not had team that was frail on the defence to the extent that Princeton could get through it for re- peated gains since 1896. The defence was mark for harvard in 1898 and in 1901, but with these two excep- tions there has not been a weak de- fensive eleven, at. New Haven since the Tigers battered the Blue for 2i points eleven years ago. In cOnsist- ent defensive strength Yales' record is far and away better than any team in the country.
 In 1897 Princeton did not score on Yale, while the six points made by Nassau in 1898 were due to long run by Poe. In 1899 Princeton made eleven points. five on a field goal-a field goal counted five in those days and six from touchdown and goal therefrom. Reiter made long end run to within few yards of Yale's goal and from there the ball was carried over. In 1900 Princeton made five points on field goal: in 1901 she did not score: in 1902 she made five points on a field goal; in 1903 she made touchdown on a long run by De Witt from a blocked kick and field goal: in 1904 and 1906 she did not score and in 1905 she made four points on Tooker's field goal.
 Nevertheless Princeton's scattering victories have been earned on merit. Both sides had teams below the stand ard in 1898 and 1899. Yale gained more ground than the Tigers in 1893, but in 1899 Princeton was better both in offence and defence than Yale. Yale's 1903 team was not as power full as Princeton's, but was more evenly balanced. speedier and more viglant Yet Yale had a strong team Individually that year. which is the only time in recent seasons when a good Yale team has been beaten. In the last ten years Princeton has cas- fly surpassed Yale in field goals. mak- ing five to Yales one. Yale has not booted q field goal across the bar against Princeton since Sharpe did it in 1S99 This years Princeton team resembles De Wits 1909 aggregation in that it always has it's eyes open That is one asset for tomorrow. An other is that in Harlan it still has dIop kicker. a possession that is constant menace to the other side if the game is close. Again. being the under dog the Princetonians will fight all the harder. Then there is that hunch that Yale can't take fou: straight from the Tigers. Yale's de- velUpment this season has been along more rational lines than Prncpton's but form doesn't warrant the Ellis being 2 to 1 favorite-not If the Jerseymen are fit. which they prob ably are.
 Tomorrow the Taft school eleven will probably have it's hardest game of the season when it meets the West minister team of Simsbury on the home field. The Taft team has been vic torious over the Simsbury contingent the past two seasons and expects to win again this year. Coaches Rock well and Hogan of the Yale eleven will Officiate at the game. The team will line up as follows: Phelan le. Cononr It. Wiggin lg. Rowland ". Waller rg. Scovill rl. Camp TO. Sta pler (capt oh. Sogur lhh. Platt fb. LaCoeur rhb.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Leslie M.
Shaw. formerly secretary Of the treas
ury, speaking on the present financial
and industrial conditions, said:
."our farms produce more than S.,

approximately $S,5OO,oOo,OOO, and the

Miner Was Hit
By Stray Bullet
MYSTERY SURROUNDS OCCUR
RENEE WHICH MAY COST
WILLIAM PIERCE HIS
LIFE,

WHEELING, Aug. 10. = William
Pierce, aged SO, a coal miner employ
ed in the Pultney mine below Belalire
is dying from ballet wound in the
body received Sunday morning in q
manner most mysterious.
Pierce was sitting on the porch in
front Of his home in shadyside Sun
day and one O'Clock when he
suddenly sank to the floor with q
groan. His wife and other members
of the family rushed to his assistance,
when it was seen that he had been
wounded in some manner, as blood
was pouring from a CHASTITY hole In
his body Just below the neck.
1t was at once realized that his con.
dftlon was serious and messengers
were hurried to Bellaire for physl.
clans. Drs. D. w. Boone and Joseph
w. Person responded and made an
examination when 1t was found that
he had been struck by a bullet either
from a revolver or rife and that the
missile had lodged in the neck. Every
thing possible for the unfortunate man
was done by the physicians, but at
"a late hour last night 1t was reported
that his chances for recovery were
slim.
The only theory advanced is that
someone either on the West Virginia
shore of the Ohio river at McMechen
or In a small boat on the river fired
the shot that will probably kill Pierce,
and, of course, without murderous in.
tent,
The Bellaire police spent the re.
mainder OF the day Investigating the
matter, but could not ascertain who
fired the shot or from where it was
fred Apparently there were no wit
nesses, at least none has yet come
forward. Persons on the McMechen
side Of the river say they heard no,
shot fred and are confident it was not
fred from the river bank there. 1t Is
pointed out that a revolver would not
carry across the river and nobody was
seen about that town carrying a rife.
1t is more likely that the shot was
fired from a small boat In the river.
The authorities are still investigating
and hope to develop something def.
mite to-day.
Pierce was a married man and has
a family OF several children.
