WRESTLING
Two Good Matches Were Pulled Off Last Night With the
 Turk in One.

up Tn fartforu last nl8nt tnc UlB Turk, Mahmout, who wanted to get crack at Frank Gotch met Lundin. the big Swedish wrestler and easily toppled him over couple of times. The match was won as follows:
 When the men squared off for a hold, Lundin seemed to realize that he had caught Tartar as well as a Turk and he went on the defensive. Some of Lundin's admirers thought he would do better if he had gone after his man more but he knew what he was doing. The Turk did the work for ten minutes and then Lundin squirmed from under and started to ride horseback himself. But the Turk wouldn't stand for this and he gave his opponent such a heave that he pushed him off the mat into the pit. Mahmout hustled about so much that he pushed Lundin off the mat several times. After 23 min utes of work, Mahmout secured scissors hold and half-Nelson and Referee John c. Long declared the fall.
 There was an intermission of ten minutes and then they went at it fellows paved each other and when the crash came Mahmout was on top with the quickness of cat. He be- gan to try for fall right away and 1t booked as If he had hold but Lun- din worked out of it. But the end was in sight and with the same kind of hold used for the first fall, Nah mout pinned Lundin down for the second and decisive fall. The time was minutes, 50 seconds.
 Tn Springfield Jim Barnes won from Jack Crosby in the following manner: at
 Barnes never performed in more thorough fashion. From spectacu- lar standpoint the encounter wasn't what 1t would be between two men of equal weight, but for complete mas tery of the finer details there hasn't been anything better shown in Springfield. Barnes had defense for every move made by Crosby, who, however, caught the champion with his greater strength for the second bout, Barnes being pinned after let ting himself forget cautiousness when he had thrown Crosby for the first fall.
 Tt took Barnes 19 minutes and 25 seconds to pin his opponent for the first fall and Crosby gained the sec ond in 8 minutes 15 seconds. Barnes gained the final fall in 13 minutes switching in a combination arm hold he had worked up for himself out of clutch that Frank Gotch worked on him. Jack Bourque refereed the bouts"
 The cable announcement from London to the effect that HackeG- schmidt and Gotch will come togeth- CT in another match in the early part of next year was sad news to the Turkish champion wrestler, Yussiff Mahmout, who came over here for the express purposa of Netting a match with the American champion. Mahmout, failing to get Gotch to sign up, entered into an agreement to meet Tom Jenkins at Madison Square garden on Thanksgiving night. The Turk is very confident of defeating Jenkins, and it is therefore all the more a disappointment to him because Gotch has entered for anoth- erematch with Hack. His manager, Antonio Pierri, is very emphatic in his declaration that Gotch will surely lose to Hackenschmidt in London. as he claims the public there will not stand for the methods the American used in his contest with the Russian Lion" in Chicago.
 Frank Gotch, who will meet Hack enschmidt in another match for the wrestling championship in London some time next year, says that the reason he did, not accept the chal- lenge of Yusiff Mahmout, the biz Bulgarian, who came to this country two months ago to meet him, was that the latter was an unknown quantity. hence a poor drawing card. George Considine has cabled to Lon don that he holds $1,000 in behalf ..T Mah X@ lea
