WRESTLING
JIM BARNES
 DID THE TRICK Defeated Sunstrom Last Night in Springfield -- Matche. On
 Tc-Night.

Springfield, March 7.-Jim Barnes
 was obliged to show the best wrest-
 ling moves of which he is capable be-
 fore Oscar Sundstrom of Worcester
 would acknowledge himself beaten
 man in Graves's hall last night. Sundstrom wrestled valiantly against
 the middleweight champion, but the
 wonderful cleverness of Barnes more
 than balanced the advantage in
 weight which was with Sundstrom.
 Barnes won the first fall after twenty-five minutes of wrestling. Sundstrom resigning rather than
 risk a broken collarbone. Barnes mad his man in wicked hammerlock
 rom which there was no escape. Sunstrom knew, he was taking big chance of getting broken bone if ne persisted in trying to defend him. self and told Referee George V. Tou- hey he was willing to resign the fall. That the move was a wise one came to light in the second bout, which went to Sundstrom after 19 minutes of the hardest wrestling there has been seen in Springfield this season. Barnes went down un- der leg and arm hold across the
 body, Sundstrom apparently putting
 his last ounce of strength into ,ob- taining it. When he had finally gained the fall, Sundstrom lay on the mat several seconds from sheer fa- tigue.
 Sundstrom had shown some dis position to rough it, and, as usual, found Barnes ready to meet him at any style of wrestling. Both men were we'll banged up by the third bout, which went to Barnes in seven minutes. A body slam worked from a combination of holds did the trick and Sundstrom went down with jar that is likely to leave him some sore spots for days to come.
 The Royal Athletic club of Hart ford has decided to have its wrestling carnival in the Auditorium instead or Germania hall, and it will have four bouts on the program. making long evening of sport. The mat Will be placed in the center of the arena and with the circus seats en- circling the hall all the patrons will have an opportunity of seeing what is going on. The principal match is to be between Edward J. O'Connell, the wrestling instructor at Yale, and Philip Bonefant of New Britain. best two out of three falls, to a finish, for the championship of New England. The principals are to select referee and If they cannot agree upon man the manager of the club will name the official. Bonefant wants Honest Jack Willis of New Britain to off, ciate, but O'Connell objects to a New Britain man.
 gram the preliminary bout will be put on at S:15 o'clock. Charles Olson of Hartford will wrestle the Terrible Turk of New Britain, two out of three falls, one hour limit, for a purse of $25, winner take all, catch style. Jack Botwick of New Haven will meet Ernest Shar- land of New Britain, Bbnefant's partner, for the most falls in half hour, actch-as-catch-can. Izzie Win ters of New Haven will wrestle Jack | Grill of the Reliance club of New | York, best two out of three falls, one | hour limit. at 125 pounds.
 An effort was made to find a New | Britain wrestler who made some | funny cracks about Winters and his packers. but the New Britain man could not be located.

they are favorites with the young

Our correspondent has given very
good description Of the best kind of
express horses and it has paid to
breed such horses, for they are al

money! An Oldenburg Coach or any
other horse that can beget such ami

neighborhood all his life. II his ow-
