The milling should be very fast, due to the past performances of the scrap- pers. The contestants arrived in this city early today, and weighed in at the Keevers company cafe at 3 o’clock Fach man was within the required weight. ‘While the interest in most shows is manifested in the star bouts of all shows, the preliminaries this evening ‘WALTER MOHR. are attracting considerable attention. The semi-finl between Joe Rocco of | Hartford and Harry Stanley of Phil should prove to be a hummer. The opponent of the Hartfordite is rated as one of the comers in the 126 pound class, and it is likely that Rocco will meet a boy who will force him to top speed throughout. This mill is carded for 10 rounds. The curtain raiser between Johnny Hayes and ‘““Red” McDonald is prob- ably one of the best that has ever been arranged for an exhibition in this state. Both boys on previous ap- pearances gave excellent accounts of themselves, and their meeting tonight | will decide a question of supremacy existing for sometime. Eight rounds iat 122 pounds is the route and weight scheduled. The star bout between Mohr and { Marto should replenish the appetites of all lovers of fast fighting who at- ‘tend the fray. The lads are both top notchers at their weight, and as both | are fighting to determine who will have an opportunity of seekin; Welch’s crown, it should be a lively affair. The men are scheduled to box 12 rounds at 137 pounds. John F. Wellis will be the third man in the ring, and E. S. Kilby will as usual watch the ticks of his ac- , curate timepiece as timekeeper.

ZBYSZKO IS BEATEN IN ‘CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT Alex Aberg, Russian Hercules, Pins the Pole’s Massive Shoulders to the Mat. New York, Oct. 26.—Alexander Aberg completed the winning of the international Graeco-Roman wrestling championship when he threw Waldek Zbyszko in the cantinuation of their bout deferred from last June, at Mad- ison Square Garden last evening. It was after an hour and four minutes of rather uninteresting wrestling that Aberg pinned the two brawny shoul- clusion of one spectacular incident of the evening. It was a “fluky” sort of a win at that, as unexpected by George Bothner, the referee, as it was by either of the contestants, apparently. Time had been called for the sev enth of the ten-minute periods, and Zybszko took his position on his hands and knees :n the middle of the ring with Aberg half prostrate over him and trying to get a waist hold, as he had been when the call of time put an end to the sixth period. Zbyszko was puffing a bit and “Bobby” Dobbs, his trainer, had just remarked to the watchers at the ring side that he wished he had taken about five pounds more off “that boy™” when Zbyszko made a tremendous heave of his massive limbs and tossed Aberg to one side with a supreme effort. With tiger-like agility he grasped his huge blonde opponent, and for the first time in the bout was on top of his opponent and playing the aggres- sor with vigor. He held his suprem- acy only for an instant, for Aberg with a tremendous effort threw himself backward over the form of Zybszko, using a head spin and the following somersault to get out of the clutches of his opponent. Both were on their feet squarely when Zybszko rushed at the big Russian, caught him about the waist, lifted him from the floor, whirled him about in the air three times until Aberg’'s sprawling legs struck out almost straight, and then threw him to the mat with a resound- ing thud. Zbyszko went down on top of Aberg, but failed to get a firm hold on him. Like an eel Aberg slipped from his clutches with a side roll, quick as a flash grasped Zbyszko about the head and neck, got a firm head lock, al- most a chancery hold, and before Bothner could fairly get where he could see what was happening, had pressed both the back of green jersey and the tips of his two bronzed shoulders to the mat. The outcome of the bit of wrestling pyro- technics had so surprised Bothner that ‘he hesitated for an instant before he fully grasped the fact that the big bout was at an end, slapped Aberg on the shoulders and raised his hand to indicate that the end of the battls had been reached and waved both men to their corners. THE ENEMY MET US AND WE ARE THEIRS Herald Bowlers Fall Before Prowess of Hartford Times Pin Artists. The customary slump encountered by all teams in various lines of sport, struck the Herald bowling team last night on the Aetna alleys, With the re- sult that the Times team of Hartford won in a walk from the locals in three straight games. The boys from the Capitol City were in tip top shape and gave an excellent account of themselves, and more firmly stamped themselves as one of the best newspa- per bowling teams in the state. Our old friend ‘“Battler” Anderson was on his mettle last night, and rolled in consistent fashion, getting the high pinfall for the evening, 290. His teammates however, were all in good form and McCue ad Rogers se- cured scores of 278 and 270, respec- tively. It was a fine exhibition and to the victors goes the spoils.

Hartford, Oct, 26.—Despite the fact that thus far Trinity bodies have had College athletic no formal protests from any of the colleges on its foot ball schedule regarding the playing Qf George Brickley In its lineup at full- back, the senate last night took cogni= zance of the affair, following the ac tion of the Williams athletic counc last Friday night, and placed them- selves on record as standing by Brick- ley thus far in this much talked of question of eligibility. More than that, they have asked the athletic advisory board to give out a formal statement™ anent the college's position with 8- gard to Brickley being a member of the football eleven The Trinity senate is composed of the captains of the various athletic squads, a represntattve from each fratérnity, and representatives picked by each class. Last night this body met and decided that the same eligibil- ity rules that have been in vogue at Trinity in the past with regard o sports, should be maintained in the future. This means that men in order to be eligible for athletic competition in college shall be obliged solely to maintain a certain percentage in thelr studies When asked if this referred in any way to the Brickley case, the answer was made that while there was no necessity to mention Brickley's name in such a vote, yet the vote was taken in order to show the spirit of the college in connection with the action of Willlams last Friday night Therefore, the vote means that the senate, which represents college opin- fon, is satisficd to have Brickley as a member of the football team The senate also voted that the ad- visory athletic board be requested, to issue a statement this week for pub- lication in the newspapers, showing Trinity’s standing with regard to eligibility for participation in Trinity sports. It is understood that this statement will be issued by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest. suit for separation brought by Mrs Helen Chazar Zimmerman, but ¢or- dered that the action for absoluté di- vorce which Zimmerman brought against his wife, should proceed.
