duction Of Revision Bill.

man Underwood today.
The feeling among democrats is said to
be against any further tariff legislation
at this session. since the Senate has not

kILNoIs FORFEITED MATCH.
Hanson Secured First Fall, but Injury
Near End Of Second Round Caused
Greek to Give Vanqulshed Sign.

A good sized audience was disap-
pointed in the outcome of the wrestling
match between Fritz Hanson and John
Kilonis in the Auditorium Friday even
ing. Hanson won the first fall in A
minutes with a head scissors and bar
hold and Illinois forfeited the last fall,
claiming that he was suffering so much
pain from an injury that he could not
proceed
The prelminiaries consisted of three
features. Paul Berzensky and Wendell
Phillips went a slow match, BerZensky
winning the first in four minutes and As
seconds with a crotch hold and head
chancery. Phillips took the second in
eight minutes with a ju jtsu hold
which it is impossible to translate into
English. Cyclone" Burns, who offici-
ated as referee during the evening, said
he never had seen that hold used. The
match was a draw. Alvin Wright and
Babe" Graves, grammar school boys,
were blindfolded and gave comedy
boxing exhibition Of three minute
rounds. Bernard Dunlevy and Frank
Fleming wrestled five minutes to a draw.
The boys showed a better knowledge of
the holds and the rules of the game
than the bigger men who wrestled the
first preliminary A battle royal last
ed four minutes and 10 seconds. John
Fleming was the winner. The other
poyS WHO tHttTeu anu the OTutr III
which they were thrown was as follows:
Joe Wood. Howard Lang Arthur Cir
ard, John Yarhie. Justin Moran, John
Kennedy and T. Clune.
The match between the big men was
not for the middleweight championship
belt, as Hanson had informed The
Phoenix and as was announced last
week. Kilonis owns the belt and many
persons thought the match was for the
championship, but Kilonis claimed Fri
cred putting his belt against $50 OF
Hanson's money. The match was full OF
interest as both men are good wrest-
lers. At times each was in dangerous
holds. Three minutes before the end OF
the first round both men went down, of
the mat, and in falling Hanson's toe
went into the Greeks ribs. A minute
later they again went off the mat and
I<ilonis claimed he was injured. Fritz
put him down with a head scissors and
bar hold in A minutes.
Between the rounds Illinois was ex-
amined by DR.. c. r. Aldrich. The Greel
thought he had fractured a rib which
was broken two years ago. The surgeon
said the rib was not injured. Kilonis
insisted that he was suffering pain and
did not care to go on until another
surgeon made an examination. DR.. AL.
| drich and DR.. F. H O'Connor made G
second examination and told the wrestler
| that he was suffering from strained
| muscles and could go on and wrestl,
just as long as he could stand the pain
| Kilonis went on and in four minutes an(
| 43 seconds threw up his hand and for.

Crosby Adams, who was one of the

won the opening tournament on the
Springfield course Saturday with a score
of rs, which was reduced by his handi-
cap of 9 to SO. The second best gross
score was 81 and the second best net
score was rs. Adams's record was par
ticularly good for so early in the sea-
son, when the course is not in good
playing condition.

A "Man Of Mystery" SO Years.

Nova Scotias imam OF mystery"
known simply as "Gerome," has died at
Meteghan, near ST. Mary's Bay. He had
lived there since the, early sixties, under
most unusual conditions. Without legs
and known to be foreigner, he had
remained unidentified since the time
when, in August 1868, he was found in
a dory at Mink Cove.
Two fishermen on a hill overlooking
the bay saw a schooner tack into the
harbor. A boat was lowered over the
vessels side. The next day man was
found in dory on the beach, with a
bottle of water and a package OF sea
biscuit placed in the boat. The mans
legs had been severed, the work having
been apparently that Of skilled sur
eeop. When spoken to, he moaned. al
most unintelligibly, "Gerome" Nothing
more could be extorted from him. The
fishermen sought the village priest and
doctor and they bore him to the nearest
cottage, where food and medical help
were provided and his wounds dressed.
The priest tried to learn how the man
lost his legs, but the cripple immedi-
ately shook his head and relapsed into
a silence that had not been broken In
nearly 80 years. Those who have
studied the case In all the years that
have gone by are convinced that some
secret motive caused the imam OF mys-
terry" to maintain a silence that was
never broken.
