Throws Kindrat and jenkins IN
Spirited Carnival.

More than three thousand persons en-
ioyed the wrestling bouts at the Grand
Central Palace last night. Zysbszko. the
giant Pole with aspirations for a return
match with Frank Gotch, the retired cham
pion. was the star of the night. and he did
all that he contracted to do throwing
Andrew Kindrat in 10 minutes and IS Sec
onds and Tom Jenkins in Is minutes and
20 seconds.
A long series of bouts of lesser prornf-
nepce preceded the appearance of Zysbszko,
and they were all interesting. Nothing
savorng of hippodroming appeared to
shake the confidence of the crowd. which
was enthusiastic to the end.
The first real excitement of the evening re-
suited from the meeting of Bill Bingham,
of England. and John Niflot. who. as an
amateur, won the Olympic championship.
Niflot is the instructor at Columbia
University and a few years ago was
pupil of George Bothner. Because of his
local connections. combined with the fact
that his opponent Englishman,
Nif1ot became great favorite with the
crowd.
On the other hand. Bingham's exceptional
foOtwork drew the admiration of all He

moment the referee, Terry McGovern, told
the men to get together there was never a
dull second. A time limit of thirty minutes
had been put on the bout. which lasted
the full half hour. In the last few seconds
Bingham worked like beaver over the
fast firing Nihot and with a half nelson
and body hold appeared to have his man
going. Both received a. great reception
when they left the ring
The massive Joe Rogers contracted to
throw three men in half an hour. Accord
ing to the announcement, the management
got the huskiest specimens possible to pro-
cure. The first victim was Phil kuey, who
managed to stay but minutes and 81 sec
onds before succumbing to body hold.
Hans Tell. of Switzerland, was next
crushed into submission with half nelson
and body hold in minutes and 50 seconds,
and then Fritz Mohl managed TO stick it
out for Z minutes and ~ seconds before
having his shoulders pinned to the canvas
with a half nelson. The erstwhile cham
pion, Ernest Roeber, refereed this contest
George Bothner, the champion light
weight wrestler, was the star in another
handicap match, the conditions being that
he was to throw two men inside of thirty
minutes. Always remarkably clever, Both
ner never appeared more SO than on this
occasion. He first threw Gus Larson with
a scissors and half nelson in 6:2S, and then
downed Jack Boles. of Cardiff, Wales, In

Bill Bingham appeared in a jiu-jitsu role
with Professor Jilis. Conditions stipulated
that this bout was to continue until one
of the contestants was subdued. Bingham's
rare cleverness proved too much for the
other who received several crushing falls
before finally giving in. The time was S:26.
Kindrat and Zysbszko met at Gr8co-Ro-

When ZysbsZko and Jenkins faced each
otter the difference in size was noticeable
to all. Although a aO-pound man. Jenkins
weighed fully fifty pounds less than the
foreigner. Jenkins is also getting old. as
athletes go. They met at catch as-catch-

and at one stage got behind his man. but
even so Zysbszko was never in danger. He
finally won with body hold and half nell
