Yale O uh-yTuus HapanaG7aea Bowling Scheduled

Sir Thomas declared that this test gave him the best staff in the king
 dom, because no man could be a
 good wrestler unless he was sober and lived clean life. In his book Sir Thomas gave a bit of advice that is just as good today as when it was written:
 "Whocver would be a complete wrestler must avoid being overtaken in drink, which very much enoryates, or. being in a passion at the sight of his adversary, or having received a fall, in such cases he is bereaved of his senses, not being master of himself is less of his art but sheweth too much play, or none at all, or rather pulloth, kicketh and ven tureth beyond all reason and his Judgment when himself
 In his instructions in wrestling Sir Thomas explained all the holds and throws then in vogue. His directions for the flying horse"-the throw adopted in America as the Spread eagle"--arc as follows: .#
 Take him by your right hand With your left, your palm being upwards as if you designed only to shake him by the hand in a friendly manner in the beginning, and twist it outwards, and lift it upwards to make way for your head, and put your head under his right arm-pit, and hold his hand down to your left side, hold your head stiff backwards, to hold him out of his strength, then put your right arm up to the shoulder between his grainings. and let your hand appear behind past his breech, but if you suspect they will cavail at that arm, as a breeching, lay your arm along his belly, and lift him up as high as your head and in either hold, when So high, lean backward, and throw him over your head
 The flying hourse" was a favorite of Sir Thomas, and before his death he had marble affigy made of him. self in wrestling costume and in the attitude of the first position of the wrestler about to perpetuate the flying horse"

SIR THOMAS PARKYNS, FAMED
 AUTHORITY ON WRESTLING
GAME,

Many titled Britishers besides the Marquis of Queensberry and Lord Ionsdale have been patrons of pugl- ism, but the wrestling game has also had it's ardent deVotees among the upper crust of English society. Perhaps the most famous of these early authorities on the grappling art was Sir Thomas Parkyns, Baronet of Bunny Park, in Nottinghamshire, the author of d classic work, 'The Inn Play, or Cornish Hugg Wrestler" from which the present day practi- tioner of the mat game may obtain much good advice and valuable in struction. Sir Thomas died 174 years ago today, in his seventy eighth year, and, thanks to his devotion to wrest- ling and other sports, never knew a day of illness until that which resulted fatally. He was man of great learn ing, but his fame as lawyer and ma sistrate is forgotten while he is still honored as the foremost student of the ancient art and science of wrcstl- ing.
 While a student at Cambridge and at London he took instructions from the best masters in wrestling and boxing, but the latter sport then in it's Infancy, did not appeal to him as dld wrestling. On his ancestral es- tate, which he inherited soon after his student days, he- held annually a great wrestling tournament The prize was gold-laced hat, worth only about five dollars, but the glory was so great that grapplers from all over England Hooked to the contest The gold hat wrestling matches were con- tlnued long after his death, but were abandoned about century ago.
 Sir Thomas would have no servant or Workman on his estate who was not good wrestler. When he wanted to employ a new man the applicant was required to Wrestle with the bar onet, and it took a good man to yet the best of him, even when he was past the three-score- -ten-marle

LOWELL MAY NOT START.
Can't Get New Park and old One Tx
 Burned Down

Lowell, March 30.-It is regarded by those usually we'll informed upon local baseball affairs as extremely doubtful whether Lowell starts the season in the New England league. after all. President Roach had plan ned leasing Washington Park, in the center of the city, for his games but has found the figure far too high. and must now fall back upon Spaulding Park, which was burned last fall and has not been repaired since then.
 With the opening of the season less than five weeks away. no move has been made in that direction, and the grounds are now without fence or stands. The street railway company has taken up the only turnout on the line running to Spaulding Park, which also complicates the situation as with no turnouts streets car service to the park would be congested and in the opinion of President Roach, highly unsatisfactory.

MAHONEY IS LEERY.

Larry Mahoney, the second sacker secured by Manager McCann of New London, from Lawrence last winter in return for Jake Warner, is wondering where the earthquake in the Eastern association will leave him, says a Lawrence paper. Mahoney declares he will shed few tears if this league should fail to start the season as he would then be free agent. Mahoney wants to catch on again with Law renee, and had designs on the first base job. He was originally a third sacker, moved to second and filled the place acceptably, and now thinks that he could cavort around first with little trouble.

TO-DAY IN PUGHIST ANNALS.

1S95-Jimmy Barry and Casper Leon fought 14-round draw in Chica- go. This was one of q number of bat ties between Barry, then bantam weight champios, and the little Sici- liam who was his principal rival for the honor. In 1894 they fought for the title at Lamont, ILL, and Leon was knocked out in the 2Sth round. The Italian did not challenge again, after the draw bout in Chicago, until 1898. when he met Barry in New York and got a draw after 20 rounds of clever boxing In November of the same year they met a fourth time, and the result was again draw. The follow ing month they were matched by a Davenport club, and fought 20 rounds, with honors even. Barry re- fused to fight again and retired from the ring, but Leon's claim to the ti- tie was brief. for he was knocked out by Terry McGovern.
 1899-Tommy White defeated Jack Dempsey in 20 rounds at Denver.
 1gOO-Gus Ruhlin defeated Tank Kenney in rounds at Hartford.

New York, March 30.--Hannes Kohlemainen, the greatest long dis tance runner in the world may not run another race for many a day. Ac- cording to a very close friend of the Finnish champion, flames is confined to his bed in his home in Brooklyn with a decidedly serious case of blood poisoning. His leg is swollen from toe to hip, and he was in a high state of fever. Despite the serious outlook, it is said that Kohlemainen declines to call a physician as he does not believe in "doctoring.' ;<ohlemaien's K trouble started with a tiny boil between his toes, on which he operated himself. It was this boil that kept Flames out of the in- door championships of the Amateur Athletic union in Madison Square Garden on March 4. It has developed that the flying Finn took his sore toe over to A. A. U. headquarters the day before the big meet and had it O. K. d as a perfectly good alibi. It was flames fond ambition to be able to start in the Meadowbrook race re- gently, and things looked not so bad for him until a short time ago, when the great runners foot began to swell. Infection had set in. Gradually the trouble has spread until Kohlemain- ems leg is swollen all the way to his hip, and he has every symptom of a
 very bad case of blood poisoning
 k 1<ohlemainen's friends fear that unless
 he submits to medical treatment al
 once he will be laid up for a long
 period and possibly lose one of the great pair of legs that have made him famous the world over.
