SPORTS OF ADAY|
GREAT WRESTLING BOUTS CHEERED BY BIG CROWD:
 LUNDIN HOLDS. CHAMPION

There was a slight hitch in the big
 performance when Hackenschmidt dis covered that Corullas, the first wrest- Ter scheduled to go on with him, was
 the very same fellow who had bitten him in the leg on a previous match. In order to avoid sustaining any
 more bites in his precious calf, Hack enschmidt went at Corullas for blood
 and pinned the big fellow on the floor in an instant. The champion never let Corullas have a breathing spell but worked at him until the Greeks shoul-
 ders touched the mat, the trick reQuir-
 ing four minutes and being accom-
 plished with an arm-lock.
 Then came Lundin. It took five
 minutes for Hackenschmidt to get his arms around this clever Swede, who | was quite the quickest bunch of muscle imaginable. Then the big fel- low worked like Trojan, but the him. Lundin had trick of tying up
 Hackenschmidt's legs that baffled the champion every time he secured a | working hold on his opponent. Time after time Hack pinned Lundin down
 with hold that looked like business only to discover that his legs were
 hopelessly locked and that he would have to break his hold to get out ot | the mess.
 As the time wore on and the end
 of the 20 minutes approached, the giant worked like mad to secure his fall, but the Swede's tactics were too foxy and the bout went the linn | it. According to the agreement, Hack enschmidt lost his share of the purse 1 by failing to throw Lundin in the specified time.
 The last match of the evening was
 between Hackenschmidt and Auyray
 the French champion, weight 2so. He l looked as though he weighed 680. The | crowd roared with delight when the Frenchman's rotundity was observed
 but their laughter changed to some. thing like respect when Auvray pick l ed up Hackenschmidt and tossed him | around like a feather.
 l It didn't take long for real muscle | to conkuer fat, however, The French 1 mans display of vast strength quick ! ly wore down to defensive tactics tanG | he was turned on his back in little over five minutes.
 | Zbyszko and his manager couldn't
 be present. but sent word to Prof
 Atlas to challenge Hackenschmidt ir
 their behalf.
 Hackenschmidt's manager then re- | piled through Prof Atlas as follows
 eff Zbyszko will allow ten or twelve | days training for this event and make 1 it a Teal wrestling match, Hacken-
 schmidt will agree to throw Zbyszkt | twice in an hour. That's how mucf Hackenschmidt thinks of Zbyszko." Prof. Atlas commented on this af. | terward.
 That's on the level,'' said the Prof l Why, a Russian thinks that a Pole | is bum. If these two fellows ge' | together you'll see the fur fly" | Prof. Atlas announced that he vii | do all in his power to secure the Hackenschmidt-Z match fol | Bridgeport and that he will let tht public know within week how he is making out on the project.

Poe's Short Stories,

There are in the best os Poe's brief tales constructive skill, command of design and gift of decoration rare in any literature and almost unknown in English, which is ever unduly negn- gent of form. And no one need won- der that Poe's short stories wandered swiftly out of cur languages into French and Italian and Spanish, into German and Scandinavian and Bohe- milan, into strange tongues where no other American author, except Feui- more Cooper, had ever before pene- trated. His weird psychologic studies have influenced later writers as unlike as Maupassant and Richepin, Fitz- james, OBrien, Robert Louis Steven son and Rudyard Kipling. His tsles of a mystery solved at last by observa- ton and deduction have been initiated by Dumas and Sardou, by Gaboriau and Boisgobey, by Wilkie Collins and Conan Doyle. And Sherlock Holmes. the only fictitious character to win in ternational recognition in the final years of the nineteenth century, is the reincarnation of a figure first projected by Poe.-Brander Matthews in Cen tury.

He has been pur- chased from the Indianapolis Amer 1can league club. which team obtain ed him in trade with Hartford for Pitcher Darby" O'Brien and Out filder Paul Davidson. Mccarthy started in 1905 with the Mt. Clemens team of the South Michigan league. The next two seasons he was with Newark and was sold to Cincinnati. He was with Pittsburg during part of the season of 1903 being traded to Boston for Cy Young. In August, 1909, Mccarthy was purchased from Boston by Owner Clarkin, and in consideration the Doves were given an option on Chic Evans.

Before a crowd that seemed like the good old days when wrestling was in its prime, Prof. James Atlas, ex-cham- pion of the world, presented series of bouts at Eagles hall last night that won the greatest approval of the big crowd and sent everybody away satisfied that he had seen an evening of great wrestling and would like to see more in the future.
 Seated in the audience were a num- Der of prominent citizens. Wrestling is a sport which the church going pub lie need not hesitate to attend, and yet for real excitement and athletic prowess, last nights bouts had prize fighting backed off the boards.
 Of course the big bout of the ev- ening was the three cornered affair in which Hackenschnfdt the great grappler whose shoulders have never yet touched the mat, was scheduled to throw three men in an hour.
 HackenschTnidt failed to carry out his contract. He succeeded in throw ing Corrulas and Auvray in short or der, but the slippery Swede. Lundin, was too foxy and stayed his 20 min utes in fine style.
 So aggravating were Lundin's willy tactics that when the 20 minutes were up, Hackenschmidt begged him to go ahead and westle to a finish, just to afford Hack the satisfaction of throw ing him.
 Lundin couldn't see this proposition at all. Then Hackenschmidt pleaded with him to go on for 10 minutes more. The willy Swede wouldn't take this offer either. He had carried out his share of the contract in fine style, and that was enough for him.
 Last nights wrestling included ev- erything from tragedy to humor. The tragedy came in the first bout be- tween Olsen, Danish champion and Sandello, the Italian strong-arm.
 The two fellows were fierce wrest- lers in every sense of the word. It was more like a fight than any thing else. They went at it like a couple of wild cats. Sandello got the first fall in a little over eight minutes. Then Olsen took the second in about the same time. The Italian went lot of foul tactics. Of course this made the crowd cad and the specta- tors fairly raised the roof cheering for the Dane.
 So fierce was the contest that the services of Prof. Atlas were required every second in refereeing. Finally the Italian caught a strangle hold to break it when ordered by the ref cree. Prof. Atlas got down on his knees and tugged at Sandello's arms, but the big fellow wouldn't let go. Then the Prof. raised his mighty fist, about the size of a side of beef, and Sandello let go. The match was awarded to Olsen on a foul. The .crowd went crazy with joy and San Fdello threatened to lick everybody in the place, beginning with the referee. He went out amid the hoots of the mob, turning around at two-second intervals to threaten his tormentors.

 Chicago,Jan. 24.-Rudolph Unholz, the Antipodes, is in Chicago and an- nounces that he will re-enter the fight game as soon as he can secure suitable match. 'The Fighting Boer" asserts he is in fine conditioa and that he is planning to fight his heap. Australia, says Unholz, is a fighters Utopia and many are the tales he is telling of the favors shown boxers and fight promoters. Dave Smith, the Australian who defeated Billy Papke, is no great fighter. ac- the middleweight class, weighing 1855 pounds. The defeat of Papke was largely due to lack of condition, says the Fighting Boer."
 New York, Jan. 24-That Joe Cos Attell had nothing of the fuke about it. was shown by another victory which he chalked up, last night, against Willie Beecher, one of the best of the New York crew of light weights. Coster won by a safe mar gin from Beecher despite the fact that he was outweighed about 12 pounds. It was the first time Coster had ventured without the feather weight limits and his success may 
 any of the lightweight brigade. Beecher made a fast finish but he had too far to go to earn a draw.
 New Bedford, Mass, Jan. 24.- Fight fans here, today. talked of lit the decision given Con O'Kelly over Jeff Madden, of South Boston, in the fourth round of what was scheduled to have been a 15 round bout. Though O'Kelly was credited with a knockout by the sponge thrown from beaten. In the fourth, Madden was sent to the mat for the count of eight but came up rushing at his man, only to get another knockdown blow. At to the ring. Madden rushed his own seconds and the fans howled. Only Referee Downey's interference, it was thought, prevented a free-for-all fight.
 young" shugro. the Jersey City featherweight has shown that he has no business against a really clever lad. Sammy. Kellar. the English scrapper, had no trouble in out pointing him at the Olympic A; C.. fighter and carried the scrap to the Briton at all times but he lacked the speed and shiftiness to do much damage. Kellar sprinkled Shugro with mean lefts throughout the fight.
 New York, Jan. 24.-Owing to his inability to get into condition, Tom my" Murphy notified the Empire A. C., today. that he would be unable to meet Knockout" Brown, tomor- row night. Murphy is a victim of the grip. He said he realized that Brown was too good man to tackle unless the tackler was in the best condition.
 Chicago, Jan. 24.-Johnny Coulon, claimant of the bantam weight title, and Harry Forbes, challenger, have come to terms for a bout and prob ably will clash in Milwaukee on February g.
 Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 24.-Packy Mcfarland, whose recent showing in the east stamped him as one of the most promising of the lightweights, will meet Jack Britton in an eight round affair before the Armory Ath- letic Club here. on January 31.

mean a personal conscious failure on his part in every case but rather that the accident can be traced to an in adequacy in that portion of the pro- ducing machinery for which he, if anyone, is responsible. Most of these accidents can be laid to imperfect inspection or to lack of reasonable provision for safety in the construc- ton of a plant or organization of the work. Insufficient lighting at night and absence of warning signals in foreign languages or even in any, ex plain many accidents. Ten children under sixteen were killed of whom seven were at work unsuitable for them because of the inherent danger.
 Employers often show considerable disregard for safety in the construc- tion of plants and equipment in the organization of work, and in the e1l- ployment of children. Not all tho accidents could have been avoided but proper inspection would have prevented many.

WETSTEIN IS NEW MANAGER
 FOR THE ST. JOSEPH'S

At a recent meeting of the St. Jo- seph T. L. & B. Association. held to consider the baseball situation for 1911. Frederick J. Wetstein was elected to manage the baseball club the coming year. He will succeed William J. Quin9an. who because of press of other work cannot give the time necessary to the successful management of the club Largely through the efforts of Manager Quinlan last season, the Joes were crowned champions of the City League and also succeeded in win ming the only victory in the play off with the West Ends for the city cham pionship.
 It is most probable that the Joes will have the same lineup as last season. and an attempt will be made to secure the best material possible.
 Fred Wetstine. the new manager. is not new to the baseball game. Sea- sons ago he was connected with the management of the American Grapho- phone Go. team. In 1909 he was the manager of the American & British team in the Industrial League. and for part of that season filled in the office of secretary of that league. con- tinuing through last season with pro- nounced success. Under Wetstine's s leadership the Joes should prosper.

John Ahlbin, PIT Lindley street will try to break the worlds skating rec ord for one mile at Berkshire pond at 3:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Ahlbin went to work today clearing mile straightaway track on the ice, starting at Boston avenue and ending near Berkshire bridge.
 The worlds record is 2:351a with a flying start. Ahlbin who is a machinist, was one of the crack skat- CTS of the Swedish army up to two years ago and this year he has been timing himself with the result that he believes that none of the big stars in the ice carnivals of Canada or on the Hudson river can beat him. Undoubtedly large number of people will go out to see Ahlbin race against time.

Angry Demonstration Against New Haven Police Head For

Unprecedented Outbreak From Great Audience When He Steps
 Into Ring.

Chief of Police Henry D. Cowles able career on the New Haven police department was hooted and yelled at, missed and boo-hooed and subjected to some white-heat epithets at the Music hall boxing exhibition in that city last night. The incident is un- doubtedly unprecedented in the his tory of the police force and it all oc- cured because the chief had stepped quietly into the ring at the end of the eleventh round of the Shea-Houck bout before the Rome A. c. and or dered the match stopped
 That the announcement came like bolt of lightning out of a clear sky is putting it mildly Immediately great cry of dirision went up from the great majority of the 2,500 per sons who had paid from g to $3 to see this particular bout. The chiefs cause of the noise. Through Announc- CT Thomas Dunn the audience had been warned that there must be no calls to either Of the fighters to Take it easy, Kid" "Go at him him. "Fm- ish him." Upper cut" "Jab," etc, and that all applause must be confin- ed to the clapping of hands.

The box ing was hard and game on both sides, and almost everyone was wrought up. box in the gallery with Police Com mission Isbell City Attorney Hoyt, Captain Dunn, of the detective bureau, Sergeant Hope, in citizens clothes, and a number of other we'll known men, was seen to move uneasily In his chair each time there was an outburst of shouting. These outbursts grew more frequent as the go grew hotter, and at the end of the 11th round, af- ter a splendid rally by Shea, a great cheer went up for the Waterbury boy, who is a great favorite in New Haven. This, apparently. determined the chief. He was observed to leave his seat without a word to Commissioners Is- bell or any one else, and go down stairs. Then he was observed by ' those in the gallery making for the ring. A sort of hush fell upon those who saw him. for they seemed to have foreboding that something un- usual was going to hapnen. He mounted into the ring and walking up to "Davy' Fitzgerald. the referee, told him the fight was off. 'It Is stopped right here. right now." shouted the chief.
 Referee Fitzgerald could hardly be- neve his ears for the second, but 1t didn't take him long to come to the conclusion that the presence of the chief in the ring meant good night Everybody knew, also. that the sport was over. and as Fitzgerald made the formal announcement that the chief had called the fight off. the din start ed and everything in the category of unk.nd shouts was hurled at the head of the police department. who stood not at the least ruff1ed in the ring.
