WRESTLING
How the Turk Did the Trick to the Freuchman and How He Quit
 at One Style. . '''

Sohmer park in Montreal. was crowded to capacity for the match between Yussiff Mahmout and Raoul De Rouen of France. Details of the bout are given by the Montreal Ga. zette. The match was practically won and lost on the toss of coin, in which the Turk had the luck to call the turn.
 The whole trouble arose from the
 fact that the Turk was no match for the Frenchman at the Graeco- Roman style, and had De Rouen won the toss for the choice of styles for the third bout the Turk would have given him the match, for both he and his man. ager, George Harrington of London, Eng, admitted he was not match for the big 'Frenchman at the latter's favorite style 'r'' v Yussiff Mahmout, the Turk, won the first fall at catcf-as-c -catch-can style in 21 minutes.
 When the wrestlers came out for the second bout and Aid Gadbois an- rounced that it would be sGraeco- Roman style, the Turks manager raised his hand to signal that he had something to say. It was to the ef- feet that the Turk would give the Frenchman the Graeco- Roman fall, as he was played out after his match with Tom Jenkins, and would toss a coin to decide whether the third bout should be catch-as-catch-can or Grae- co-Roman.
 Finally 1t was decided the Turk
 would go on and wrestle at Graeco- Roman, but almost as soon as the
 pair came together for the second ten minute bout, Yussiff pushed De Rouen away from him and muttering something in Turkish walked of the mat to his dressing room. The
 crowd yelled and booted at him. but
 he showed no Inclination of return ing to finish the bout.
 Dr Gadbois, the referee, waited five minutes for the Turk to come back, and when he did not show up the fall was awarded to De Rouen. It was announced that a toss of coin would decide whether the
 third bout was to be catch-as-catch- can or Graeco-Roman. When Dr Gadbois tossed the coin De Rouen called the turn wrong and when he did so Yussiff Mahmout chose his fa- vorite style of catch-as-cat tch-can.
 De Rouen showed his gameness by going on and taking chance but he was no match for the Turk at, that style, and his shoulders were pinned to the mat in seven minutes. His pluck, however, gained him the ad- miration of the crowd, and although Dr Gadbois was forced to announce the Turk the winner, the cheers of the crowd were for the Frenchman.

AFRAID OF THE BOUT.

It is evident that New York sporting men will bet practically nothing on the result of the Burns Johnson mill to be decided in Aus tralia on December 29. Some of them say the battle-ground is so far away that there is no means of find ing out whether the go is on the square or not. A prominent handler of pugilists whose opinion is worth something said yesterday that Burns had been shown to be "fixer" and that he would not be at all surprised if Johnson received a bunch" to take the count. Then Burns would retire" said this man ''and Johnson could go ahead and lick all the other heavies on the level. If they meet on their merits, however, Johnson ought to win because he is bigger and cleverer than the French Cana dian pugilist."

JOE WALCOTT WHIPPED.

Boston, Nov 3O.--Joe Walcott, former welterweight champion of the world, and William Parks of Everett, also colored, got into fist fight in the smoking car of an elevated train in Charlestown Saturday night and there was much excitement while the two punched each other and rolled over the floor.
 The men got into wordy war and when the car was near City square, Charlestown, Walcott is said to have arose and said to Parks, Put up your hands!" Parks accepted the chal- lenge and it is said that in one round there were two knockdown blows delivered. Walcott was at the wrong end in each case.

BIG ATHLETIC MEET TONIGHT

 Pionships at New York.

P'SbSffPs eh tNsw EVFks
 New York, Nov. @.-The indoor ath- ietic championships of the Amateur Athletic union will be held in Madison Square Garden tonight and tomorrow night. It is confidently expected that several records will be smashed by the athletes who have entered their names for the various events.
 Con Leahy, the Irish jumper, has sent in his. entry. Leahy has been training hard in order to get in good condition for this event and will en- deavor to win back his laurels from Harry E. Porter, who defeated him last year. Porter is also entered, as we'll as score of other well known jumpers.
 Many of the athletes who won fame at Athens and London will be seen in action and the games prom ise to be the greatest of their kind ever held in the United States. It is apparently safe prediction that more than one record will go by the board.
 Following are the events sched- uled: 60-yard dash. 75-yard dash, 150-yard dash, 3oo-yard dash, 220- yard low hurdle race. 300-yard low hurdle race, 600-yard run, 1,00o- yard run, two-mile run. five-mile run one-mile walk, three-mile walk. standing high jump, standing broad jump. three standing jumps, running high jump. running hop. step and jump, pole vault for height, pole vault for distance. putting eight pound shot, putting 24-pound shot and throwing the 56-pound weight for height.

WATERBURY BOY IN IT.

In the choosing of an all eastern football team for the season just closed there is a good deal of ma terial for ends and tackles, not much I for guards and center, limited sup 1ply of quarterback and pretty strong array for the rest of the back | field positions. In other words, 1t Is less trouble to fix on the ends, tackles and backs. There were
 more good ends and tackles than there were good guards and centers, though there was a group of three centers composed of Nourse, Har- yard; Riddle, Yale, and Philoon. West Point, that ranked up pretty
 high and without much difference among them in point of ability. The first and second all eastern teams are as follows:
 First team-Scarlett, Pennsyl- vania, and Schildmiller, Dartmouth, ends; Siegling, Princeton, and Horr. Syracuse. tackles; Andrus, Yale. and Tobin, Dartmouth, guards; Nourse, Harvard, center; Miller, Pennsyl- vania, quarterback; Tibbott, Prince ton, and Hollenback, Pennsylvania, halfbacks; Coy. Yale. fullback.
 Second team--Logan, Yale, and Johnson, West Point. ends; Fish, Harvard. and O'Rourke, Cornell, tackles; Goebel. Yale, and Meyer, An napolis. guards; Riddle, Yale, cen ter; Cutler. Harvard. quarterback; Mayhew, Brown. and Corbett, Har- yard. halfbacks; Walder. Cornell, fuIlback.

bkANuENBURG IN COURT.
Faces Judge Today on Larceny Charge z For Cleveland Article.

New York, Nov. 30, Broughton Brandenburg, the author and journal ist, faced the court today on a charge of larceny in the second degree in con nection with the sale of the disputed Cleveland letter which caused sen sation during the recent presidential campaign. The letter, which purpOrt- ed to be the views of former President Cleveland on the issues of the cam paign, attacked William Jennings Bry- an and his views. .
 The paper which published the inter- view declared that 1t was purchased from Brandenburg after assurances from the executors of Mir. Cleveland's estate that it was genuine. These as- surances were afterward withdrawn by Mr. Hastings, one of the Cleveland executors, and 1t was then declared that the interview was forgery.

CONTRADICTORY TALES
OF AN UGLY TRAGEDY

able to talk on account of the blood
flowing into his mouth and choking
him, and open wounds on his head be-
tokening violent contacc with some
hard weapon.
The police patrol wagon took both
men to the hospital, the one with
smouldering rags about his fearfully
burned body, the other with his coun-
tenance clothed in gore.
And in the wagon Kamaliikane, he
who may recover quickly and eagerly
told a story of a Japanese entering the
house while he and Kaaa were all alone
and demanding payment of a bill alleg-
ed to be owed by Louis Miranda, who
with his wife, usually occupies the
house to which the fire department was
called.
He stated that this ferocious Jap,
on being told that Miranda was not at
home, but up Pacific Heights, sick, sail
ed in and smashed Kamaliikane in the
head with a hammer belonging to Mi
randa and found on the premises, and
then. prithee, poured oil over Kaaa and
set him afire to make living funeral
pyre.
That was Kamaliikane's tale last
night to ever alert Chief of Detectives
Jack Kalalliela.
This forenoon in the presence of a
Star reporter at the Queens hospital,
while from a screened corner came the
agonized breathing of the dying Kaaa,
Kamaliikane told a very different tale
and he was apparently in his right
mind when he told it and signed a
written statement.
On the second recounting Kamalii-
kane declares that he does not know
who it was who suddenly forced an en-
trance through the back door of the

26 Broadway, New York, March
20, 1903.-My Dear Senator: We
are surprised beyond measure TO
learn that Smith w. Bennett, bro
ther-in-law of f. S. Monnett, re-
Gently Attorney General of Ohio, is
in the race for the Attorney Cen
eralship of Ohio on the Republican
ticket. Bennett was associated
with Monnett in the case against
us in Ohio, and l would like 10 tell
you something of our experience
and impressions of the man gain
ed in that case. If you know him
at all | am sure you will agree that
his candidacy ought not to be Sc
riously considered from any point
of view.
| would es eem it a favor to have
a line from you on the subject.

He'll broke loose in a house of hate
in the early night of yesterday.
Two old Hawaiian men, who nave
long been at serious outs, today lie on
cots in the same ward in the Queens
Hospital, the one Kaaa, almost surely
dying, the other, Kamaliikane, with
fair chance of further lease on life.
They have been quarreling constant
ly for a long time. Kamaliikane he
who will likely recover, is noted herb
doctor, an expert masseur, possessing
many secrets of ancient Hawaiian me-
dicine, not quack medicine but me-
dicine that has healed many and made
many fat where before they were lean.
Kaaa had passed any stage of money
getting usefulness and was sort of a
general helper in the house of Louis
Miranda.
About eight o'clock last night an
alarm of fire was turned in from the
corner of Emme and School streets.
Neighbors had noticed flames through
a window in the house usually occupied
by Miranda, 1863 Luso street.
The department responded quickly,
as usual, and the chemical engine eX-
tinguished the flames and little damage
was done to the structure.
The tragedy, or what will prove a
tragedy, was not in the call of fire. 1t
lies behind the alarm.
What do the police and the firemen
and the neighbors say? They tell of
an old man, some say wrapped in a
burning blanket, some say with only
his underclothes on, though the clothes
were burning in either case, and this
old man, Kaaa- mot Kamaliikane as the
Advertiser this morning mistakenly
has it, was squatting in the yard blaz-
ing. while the other old gentleman was
acting in crazy manner with blood
streaming down his face, hardly being
