INFORMATION SKATING.
OehoIm of Stockholm Wins European
Speed Events in Good Time.

The amateur skating champion"
ships of Europe were held this year
at Klagenfurt in Austria, and the
best speed skaters in the old world
competed. There were four events
500, 1900, 5000 and 10000 metres,
and Maaritz Oeholm of Stockholm!
won the title by securing three out
of the four events.
The opening event was 500 ne
tres, and it produced one of the clos
est races ever seen for the title, the
first four men finishing within a
fifth of a second, while the sixth
and seventh were only l is seconds
behind. Oeholm was the winner,
and he covered the 500 metres, SAT
yards, in AZ seconds. Bohrer OF
Klagenfurt, Mathieson of Christiana
and Vikander of Helsengfors tied for
the next three places at AZ 1-5 Sec
onds. Bohrer is the new ''phenom. u
The record is A AS seconds, by
Gunderson in 1906.
Oeholm won the 5000 metres in
8 minutes l 1-5 seconds, with Bob I
second. There was a surprise in the
1900 metres when Mathieson beat
0eholm by AS of a second, his time
being 2 minutes 29 rs seconds. IL
the 10000 metres Bohrer gave
0eholm stiff argument all the W y,
but the latter won by nearly Sec
onds in Is minutes "a seconds.

WRESTLING
READY FOR
THE BELL
Gotch and Parr Will Meet Next
Wednesday Night in
Eagles Hall.

With the toe hold barred, Frank
Gotch, champion wrestler of Ameri-
ca, and Jim Parr, champion wrestler
Of England, will meet in catch-as-
catch-can wrestling match at Eagles
hall Wednesday night. The only
hitch seemed to be as to the use of
the toe hold, which Gotch invariably
resorts to In the course of contest.
This is wicked hold and adds moth
ing to the interest of wrestling
contest; in fact, 1t is predicted that
it will be barred as time passes.
THAT toe hold is Gotch's stock in
trade" said Parr, land If he will
cut it out In this match / will hand
him a surprise.
Gotch doesn't like the idea of
eliminating his wrestling speciality,
but when he was informed as to
PARIS statement, he flared up and
said he would defeat the English
man without the use of the toe hold.
So the contest is on, and Waterbury
people will have one more chance to
see the Iowa wonder and the Eng
fish champion. ...-.
Parr is an aggressive wrestler
possessed of probably more science
than any man who ever came to
Waterbury.
Parr has wrestled Gotch, having
been defeated by Gotch in two hours
and Al minutes.
When Gotch and Parr strip for ac-
ton, the sports will see two of the
highest types of the modern athlete
in the world to-day. The action of
either man will not be impeded by
one ounce of superfluous flesh.
That this pair should possess abb
normal strength is not at all strange.
On PARIS side is an ancestry famed
for its general physical supremacy,
while Gotch springs from a family
of natural born grapplers. In con-
nection with the comments made
upon the physical perfection of this
pair, it may be said that neither
uses alcohol in any form and the
daily routine followed by each man
is subject to no change, except as
occasion may absolutely require
deviation. OF course, this sort of life
may be somewhat lonesome" but
there is sufficient strength Of char
acter in both men to stick to it.
The big bout will go on at $3.50
O'Clock, and the first preliminary
will be put on at 8:15 sharp. Many
inquiries have been made as to the
time of the big vent. 1t is for the
benefit of those who cannot get
away from work or from social en-
gagements until after o'clock that
the Gotch-Parr match is to be begun
at $3.50 o'clock.

TO SHORTEN BASE BALL GAMES.

New York, Feb. 24.--President Garry
Hermann of the national baseball
commission has postponed the meeting
of the commission, which was SEIZED.
uled for today at the Waldorf-Astoria
until tomorrow noon. President Herr
mann, President Harry Pulliam Of the
National league and President Ban
Johnson Of the American league, the
members of the commission, will to-
night attend the Monte Cross dinner
in Philadelphia The dinner will be
rendered the former shortstop' of the
Athletics, who will manage the Kan
sas City club next season, by the Phil
adelphia Sporting Writers association.
The American league will meet to-
morrow at the Hotel Breslin and the
National on Wednesday at the Wal
dorf-Astoria. Both Pulliam and John
son have completed their schedule for
the playing season, and they will be
made public after being adopted by the
leagues.
Barney Dreyfuss, president of the
Pittsburg club, has suggestion for
shortening games and will submit it to
the rules committee. He does not be-
lieve in tampering with either the ball
or the pitchers box and thinks the
game is now short enough
Dreyfuss says: There is too much
dallying between the intielders and the
pitcher now. Let us have a rule pro-
hibiting any infelder from going up to
the pitcher and engaging him in con-
yersation when either Of them want a
rest. 1t will be surprising how much
this viii shorten the ordinary game.
The people don't want so much a short
er game as they want to see action all
the way"

BILLY SUNDAY THREATENED.
Detective Guards Famous Baseball
Evangelist During Crusade.

Decatur, ILL.,, Feb. 24.--So many
threatening letters have been receiv-
ed by the Rev Billy Sunday, who is
conducting five weeks religious re-
vival here preliminary to the local OPP
ton campaign in April, that the local
pastors association has employed a
detective to watch over the evange-
list, guard him to and from meetings
and watch the house he occupies.
In his leisure moments the detec-
tive will watch for violators of the
Sunday liquor law and laws against
gambling. 1t is reported that he has
got much evidence of such violations

Sunday in tabernacle holding 5000

up the city, vote out saloons in the
April election, stop gambling and
make Decatur moral town.

POLO
OUT OF THE
RUT AT LAST
Our Defeat Of New Haven and the
Double Defeat Of Providence
Did the Trick-Notes.

New Haven came here with eight
men Saturday night to try and take
the measure Of the local poloists,
but George Bone was given another
defeat after bitter battle between
the two rivals. Had the New Haven
writers, who have been cracking up
the playing Of Bone and rating him
far ahead of Eddie Higgins, been
present Saturday night, they would
have seen in the very first period,
why Higgins has it on Bone in every
way, The little chap did some spec
tacular work in lodging and hurdling
and had the honor of caging the only
two goals made in that first session.
In the second Jason took the bit in
his teeth himself and he copied in
two, while Bone was mailing one for
his side. A scare was thrown into
the big crowd in the last period when
Warner and Schiller put in two for
the visitors, making the score to 3,
with only three minutes more Of play
ing time Higgins shot into the bunch
after that and in a little over one

good. Little Schiller was not to be
outdone, however, for he drove
another home for New Haven in a
minute and quarter. With only
thirty-five seconds left to play the
visitors strove desperately to get in
the tying goal, but the bell Changed

Out of the rut at last.
Nick McGilvray must have been
wild Saturday.
We won't crow too loudly yet,
however, for there are stone wall
barricades in front of us.
Providence comes here tomorrow
night and that means a bitter pat
tie between the two teams which
are trying to keep out of last place,
We go to Bridgeport this evening
and the boys say they will trim the
Dumplings or die fighting. Bob
Eadie says. Waterbury will never
have look in.
George Bone has allowed Bill
Miller, who played with New Haven
during the early part of the season
and then went out into the Inter-
state league, to 60 to Springfield.
There were plenty of New haven
rooters here on Saturday night and
they tried hard to encourage their
men, but the locals couldn't be
stopped by a railroad train, such
was their speed.
Billy Hanna is strutting around
like a real diamond since that dou-
BILE defeat he administered to his
opponents on Saturday. We will
just have to pull his horns in again
when we get strangle hold on his
pets. We will be up there near the
top, you bet.
