IN A FINISH MATCH

Joe Turner. the Washington weltec-
weight wrestler, announces that he has
been matched to meet Young Monday,
of Brooklyn, n, Y, in a finish match in
Washington next Monday night at the
National Guard ArmOry.
Monday is well known in Washington,

sions, and is capable Of putting up an
excellent bout.
Turner has been developing rapidly In
the past year and has displayed so much
clevcrness he is talking of going on the
road with a combination to meet all
corners. He went fifteen minutes with
Monday at the New Lyceum some weeks

fair and the meeting next Monday
night will be the more interesting on
that account.
