Baltimoreans Anxious to Win Tro-
phys in Wrestling Bouts.

Word received from John NJ. Doyle. the
manager of the Baltimore end of the
amateur wrestling championships of the
s. A. \. A. A. L., which are scheduled
to come of next week at Carroll Insti-
tute, makes it certain that once again
will the mat artists of the two rival cit
les clash for honors. Both the Baltimore
Athletic Club and Doyle's gymnasium
have made a great number of entries for
the preliminaries. which are to be held
next Tuesday night, and Immediately after
this event the Baltimore contingent. con-
SiSting of the seven best grapplers in the
city will be announced.
Meanwhile the Baitimoreans are having
a little rivalry Of their own, inasmuch as
the two principal wrestling clubs of the
city have each entered full quotas in the
preliminary bouts. These matches will
take place at Doyle's gymnasium and
from all accounts will be largely attended.
The local grapplers are coming forth
fast with their blanks and there is no
doubt that Washington will be repre-
scented by an excellent aggregation. So
far the Y. NJ. G. 4. and GaIIaudet have
have been received from Carroll Institute
and the Memorial Athletic Club that they
will also have their best men in the
bouts. Because of base ball and track
activities no men will take part from
Georgetown University.
TIL judges for the event as announced
by Prof Joyce Yesterday will be as fol-
lows: Manager of bouts, Prof. Maurice
A. Joyce, chairman of the wrestling COM
mittee. s. 4. \. 4. A. L.: referee, Pat

from the Monumental city by the score of
a to ID after forty minutes Of the fierc-
est kind Of hostilities.
This evenings battle will take place in
the Richmond Market Armory and will
start promptly at $50 o'clock. Because
of the fact that Georgetown has not been
seen IN action in Baltimore before this
winter a large crowd is expected to be in
attendance. Capt. Niebauer of the Oriole
quint reports that all of his men are In
tiptop shape. and he feels confident that
they will be able to give their Washing
ton rivals run for their money
The local aggregation is also in excel
lent condition. despite the fact that ii was
defeated at Virginia last Saturday even
ing. Manager Shrowles said yesterday
that there would be no third game with
the southerne,s. because many of their
men had to give up the sport on account
Of base ball. This will ,prove great dis
appointment to those in this city who are
confident of Georgetown's ability TO trim
their rivals OF Dixie.

BRITT WINS ON POINTS.
Baltimorean Outboxes Young ~
Cohb of Philadelphia.

BALTIMORE, Md, March 4.-Young
Britt the southern champion feather
weight. added TO his list of victories last
night by beating Young Ty Cobb of
Philadelphia in a fifteen-round battle be-
fore the Eureka Club al Albaugh
Theater.
The decision, awarded by Referee JACK
McGuigan. was a clean-cut one. Britt
outfought and outgeneraled Cobb and
proved to be the better man at every
stage of the bout but Cobb was game
He soon discovered that Britt was his
master and then fought, to great ex-
tent on the defensive. He made Britt
chase him about the ring. fighting wnen
cornered, but his methods did not please
the many spectators.
The fact that Britt was the one man in
the ring was realized early by the spec
tators and he at once became favorite
in the little betting done.
Young Britt fought his own battle. lie
quickly discovered that Cobb could not
hurt him with left-hand blows and then
went in to fight with all proper respect
for the Q,iaker's hard-hitting right hand.
John Spatola, the original boy man
ager'' was in Cobb's corner. and his
judgment in keeping Cobb away possibly
robbed Britt of the credit Of a knockout.
In the first round Cobb was the faster.
Britt was the cooler. Cobb did not make
Roadway, and Britt showed in the second
round that he outclassed the visitor.
Cobb made rally in the seventh and
then began to dance away. From the
seventh to the end of the fifteenth Cobb
never had a peep in. In the twelfth
round Britt caught UP with Cobb and
landed left to the jaw which sent
Cobb to the floor for a count of eight.
