the star of the visiting squad when he
won from Ford of the Coyotes with
a fall in FIVE minutes and a decision.
These two classes comprised the to-
tai OF Aggic victories. Chiffon Bry-
ant, Coyote captain, proved that he
has returned to his old form by taking
two falls from his opponent, Robbins,
IN short order The time was 3 IA
minutes for the first fall and less than
a minute and a half for the second.
Albcrtson, welterweight Coyote,

for new trial for Harry K. Thaw.
declared sane last Tuesday night by
a jury, was filed today by William
A. Gray, counsel for Evelyn Nesbit,
Thaw's divorced wife, in behalf Of
her thirteen-year-o son, Russell
William Thaw.
Miss Nesbit's son had been per-
mitted to. intervene in the sanity
proceedings because OF his antic-
ipatory interest In Thaw's estate.
Miss Nesbit opposed Thaw's release
on the ground that he was still In

tended, he might dissipate his estate.
In addition to the request for
another trial, counsel obtained an
order granting him five days in which
to file specific reasons for retrial.
