NEW YORK. Mar. 4.-The wrestling

vorite with the soldiers and sailors.
and within the last year and a half
thousands Of young men have been
attracted to it as a result Of lessons

can give them and should not be eL-
plotted by inscriptions promoters OF
fake matches.
The mat game has provided a wide
field for those versed in chfcanery for
the reason that to fake a wrestling
contest is a very simple operation
Two men on a mat can give a very
realistic exhibition OF spirited russell
ing without putting forth their best
efforts, and so closely have the inter
ests Of the crooked Erapplers been
linked that efforts 10 stamp out those
guilty Of sharp practice have been
worse than futile. Another reason
for the lack Of progress made by any
QuiLotic campaign to purge the sport
Of its objectionables lay IN the fact
that only in certain sections OF the
country did the mat game enjoy real
popularity.
Now, however. at least n re-
ports which have reached this city
are TO be believed interest in the
game has spread widely. SO that
in the future the unprinctpled eI-
