The manage ment, in it's eagern ess to put the sport back into it's own again, has an- nounced that it will return all moneys to seat buyers unless one of the con- testants gains. fall. This should in sure a spirited contest.
 The struggle between ZbysZko and Lewis is scheduled to begin promptly at o'clock, and it is not unlikely that huzzas for the victor will be in order at 11:15 The fact that George Both ner is to act as referee is a guarantee that the men will wrestle accordin g to rule.
 Both gladiators are trained to the minute.
