WRESTLING TITLES
NOT FOR new YORK
Eastern Men Fare Badly in
National Championships
on Pacific Coast.

New York men met with scant sue
cess in the national wrestling cham
pionships of the Amateur Athletic
Union at the Panama Pacific EXPOSE
ton in San Francisco, returns of which
were received here yesterday.
Carl Benson. of the Swedish-Ameri-
can Athletic Club; Louis Johnson. Of the
NorweGian-American Athletic Club, and
Charles Mulinos. representing the
Greek-American Athletic Club. were
the New York candidates. but all will
return home on Sunday empty handed.
All three succeeded in reaching the
semi-final round. but Benson was the
only survivor for the final bouts. He
faced Robert Goudie. of Luna, Ohio,
and was defeated on points.
Not one of the eight winners in the
Eastern tryouts held in this city were
successful in the tournament. Besides
Benson j. kolks, of the Finn Athletic
Club, of Boston, and George Sawtelle.
Of Lehigh University. who were chosen
10 represent this section. were defeated
in the final contests
Dispatches from the coast state that
extra periods were necessary to decide
the winner in two of the classes. This
is in violation of the amateur rules,
which decree that a winner must be
named at the end of the regulation pc
Rod of wrestling. II is believed that the
coast officials were ignorant Of the fact
that a new rule has been adopted which
forbids the ordering Of an extra ses-
sion when the judges disagree.
Wrestlers from the Central Associa-
ton showed unexpected strength in
winning the point honors. They gath
cred total Of thirty-four points and
five Of the eight titles. Other associa-
ton points scored were: Pacific North
west, Is; Pacific Association, s, and
Metropolitan Association, Middle At

weight. refused to meet him in ten
round bout at the Broadway Sporting
Club, Brooklyn, last night. .oo
The weight agreed upon was l33

boxers and officials of the club wrah-
gled for over an hour over the weight
problem, but Callahan's manager re-
fused TO give in.
Tickets were issued to the large
crowd of fans for the bouts on next
Tuesday evening.
Johnny Summers, a Brooklyn light
weight, proved too clever for Jack
German in the semi-fnal bout OF six
rounds. After the first round, Summers
chased his man around the ring, land
ing hard blows with both hands.
Red Allen outpointed Young Terry,
hitting his opponent when and where
he pleased.

Bout With the "Zulu KID
Costs Lepinsky Dearly
Injury to the Battler's Hand
VIII Cause Seven Big
Matches To Be
Cancelled.

Danny Morgan is bewailing the fact
that he was ever invcigled into match-
ing Battling Levinsky against the Zulu
Kid" II is not that Levinsky was
beaten. for all who saw the bout Will
attest that he boxed his opponent into
kinks and hit him with everything but
the bucket as the ring saying has 1t.
But the Battler injured his right hand
testing the efficacy OF newtangIed
punch and, as a result, VIII take an en-
forced rest Of several weeks at least.
Levinsky's period Of inactivity Will
cost him dearly. for no fewer than
seven matches had 70 be cancelled.
These included bouts with some of the
most prominent white heavywelghts IN
the ring. Morgan went right ahead Sc
curing him engagements with the idea
of working him into match with
Willard for the title or, at least, in a
no-decision contest.
A match with AL Reich, the youngster
who is hailed by many as the coming
white champion, was practically
clinched when Levinsky was injured.
During the last year rivalry has
sprung up between these men, and chal-
lenCes have been flung to and fro.
Efforts TO bring about q meeting have

when everything was almost decided,
the link played the last card.
Gunboat Smith, Carl Morris, Jack
Reed, Tom McMahon, Arthur Pelky and
Young Weinert are the other men who
were on Morgan's list. They will all
have TO wait now.
There will be no boxing at the St.
Nicholas A c. tonight. Owing to the
rather lamentable showing Of Sam
Langford against Porky Flynn. Jimmy
Johnston declared the match between
Sam McVea and Langford oil.
Young Brown and Willie Beecher
will cross gloves in a ten round bout
at the Federal A. c. to- night. Some
exciting moments are in store for those
who like TO see two rugged sluggers In
action. Neither is blessed with any
great degree of cleverness, but both
can slug like wild men. There is little
love lost between the boys, and this
will add to the JOY of the occasion.

CAPTAIN SENT TO BENCH
O'Neale, of Columbia, Loses
His Job at Shortstop.

Columbia will send a recognized
team to New Haven to-day for its an
nual game with Yale. Captain Jimmy
ONeale, who played shortstop in the
game against Dartmouth last Saturday,
was benched yesterday and Rosef was
brought from right field to the place
left vacant by O'Neale.
Roseff was tried out both at short
stop and third base, alternating with
Paul Friedrich in these positions. He
will probably play in the short field
against the Blue.
Roseff's place in the outfefld was
taken by Henry Buncke, who started
the season as a regular but went to
the bench when Benson began to shine.
Donald Beck will be on the mound
against the Blue. Beck has pitched in
three games and has worked total of
sixteen innings. He has not been
scored on, and has allowed only two
hits, striking out twenty-seven men and
passing five.

honors In the masters tournament.
we're paired yesterday In the second
round, which was contested at the
Hotel Grsnoble.
The crowd naturally looked for Are
works in this important encounter. but
both of the experts realized that too
much depended upon the outcome for
them TO take any chances OF spelling
their scores. The result was draw
after thirty moves, with honors fairly
even.
Capablanca worked out what APP
peared 70 be the preferable position
against Marshalls Petroff defence, but
the American champion played care
full. sound game and equalized the
position in mastery style. Both hav-
ing won in the opening round, the
famous players remained on even
terms, each with q score Of "a points
to his credit.
A touch Of tragedy was lent 20 the
play yesterday. when in the middle of
the afternoon session the news came
to A. Kupchik, the New York cham
pion, that his father had just died.
Kupchik was engaged with A. b.
Hodges, of Staten Island, sixteen
moves Of a Queens pawn game having
been recorded.
Hodges at once excused his oppon-
ent, and, after receiving the con-
dolences Of his comrades, Kupchik hur-
red away. Later resolutions Of sym.
pathy were adopted, and it was agreed
to give Kupchik until next Monday 10
