leap match at catch as catch can
from Ed Lebarre. the Montreal heavy
weight Lebarre was IL throw the Cen

hour, but could get only one fan, Col
Inns thereby winning the match.
For the preliminary there was
four round boxing bout between Abe
the Newsboy of New London and
Young Falkner of Fort Trumbull,
which was declared draw by Referee
Joe Desmond of Norwich. In the first
two rounds honors were easy, but Abe
showed stronger in the last two.
The star event of the evening proved
the best wrestling card seen in Moos-
up, full of fast and clever work. Joe
Desmond refereed for the first part
of the bout. but was compelled to leave
to catch the train. when his place was
taken by Burdick of Central Village.
Lebarre rushed matters from the
start and finally pinned Collins to the
mat in IS minutes so seconds with
bar hold and haH-nelson for the first
fall. When they had come back for
the remainder Of the time Collins
showed the best defensive work in his
repertoire, breaking in a scientific
manner the holds which the heavier
man put on him. This victory is an
other step for the Central Village lad
in marking him as one of the wrest-
lers who is rapidly coming to posi-
ton of prominence In the grapplers'
ranks.

Brush Banking on Indian Catcher.

John T. Brush of the New York Ma &.

year, and I am quite sure that we have
better nine this year. I should like
to say that the achievenents OF Jack
Myers, the Indian catcher. have not
been exaggerated by the New York
correspondents. He h one of the
greatest batters I have ever had on
any team since have been In base
ball. He does not make a hist every
time he comes to the bat, but there are
few times when he fails to aim the
ball for the top of the fence. Herzog,
Merkle. Murray and Doyle are in cap
itai condition. There IS not a player
on the nine who has been ailing since
we have heen in Texas. and am quite
as willing to predict great things for

CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION.

THE Importance or rather the abso-
Lutte necessity for knowledge of con-
crete construction on the part OF the
engineer has been recognized in the
schools and is now included In civil
service examinations. 1t is interest
ing to note that i'll the New York state
examinations for the position OF as
slstant engineer. four of the nine ques-
tions presented in the first paper re-
late to cement and concrete. says
Cement Ago. These questions include
the definition OF Portland cement,
process of manufacture. tests and
standards of requirement, comparison
of wooden and concrete piles and
methods OF waterproofng concrete.
Many of the other questions may be
said to relate to concrete construction
as they include problems involved in
the construction OF dams, foundations.
aqueducts. etc, in which cement is al
most invariably used. In brief. con-
creto construction IS no longer regard
ed as merely a branch OF the engi-
neering profession. Knowledge OF the
subject is as important as knowledge
of steel construction, and 1t is safe to
predict that ere long the architect will
find II imperative to be equally well
informed as to Its use in his field of
endeavor.
