Abe and Collins Each Get a Fall—Then Bout Goes to a Draw—Called Off at 12 o'Clock. At the Bijou theater in Westerly on Wednesday right, Abe the Newsboy of New London and Bill Collins, the Cen- tral age strong man, put up the greatest wrestling contest ever seen in the burg, going at a fierce gait and with much rough work for two hours and 50 minutes, which brought them up to midnighf, when Referee Jack McGrath of Norwich enforced the us- | ual rules and stopped the bout, de- claring it a draw. Each man had one fall to his credit when the bout stop- 1¢d. The star bout followed a preliminary of a half-hour in which Winn, the In- dian, of New London, got one fall in 17 minutes 45 seconds from Salvey of New Haven. The star event began, at 9.10 and put | the house into an uprdar as the two ) | wrestlers struggled for the mastery | with all the strength and selence they had. Abe secured the advantage of the first fall flopping Collins in 35 minutes with a full-nelson. After a rest Collins force the fighting and hore Abe shoulders down in the end of 27 minutes 35 seconds with a head lock from which the Newsboy could not_escape. For the balance of the time nelther could get a fall. Both were warned for rough work as their tempers got hot and the crowd kept clamoring for a fall, but neither could put the other down before the clock reached 12, when the referee stopped the bout.

SQUAD OF PONIES. ller Has a Lot to Try Out—Some Youngsters, Mostly Veterans. Zeller, the new owner and manager of the Springfield baseball club, gives out the following in the Springfield Republican of what will be doing when the practice season opens in Spring- field: On the slate at present are the fol- lowing: Pitchers, Parker, Luby, Mc- Lean, Porray, Zavatkey and McDuffie; catchers, Connor, Hirst, <Cahill and Whiting; first base, Zeller; second base, Collins; sho: Pinkerton or Burns; third base, Mulcay and Scan- lon of Brightwood; outfield, Rising, Wi.ite, Maggert and Peloquin of Sout! bridge. Joe Connor is practically sure of catching, but the other catchers are not. Hirst may be sent to another club. iting is a trifle young for league ball and may mot be used. One other backstop, not on the list now, with Conner look like the backstopping end. There are half a dozen pitchers on the bcok, with Parker, McLean and Luby as veterans. A left-hander is to be signed. Jawn Hess belongs to Nashville and will in all probability not be with Springfield the coming season. McDuffie pitched 2 few games witH Worcester last year. He is worth a trial. In the infiel@ Yale will be replaced at grst by Zeller. Colling, the crack from averhill, will get second base, and Scanlon of Brightwood will be tried out at third. A deaf mute named Mui- say from Brooklyn has been %o highly recommended by Tom Daly, the old Brooklyn star, that ringfleld will give him a chance. Mulcay Is a six- footer who in addition to being com- petent in a baseball way is believed to be somewhat of & sprinter. What will be done with McAndrews is one of the unsettled problems. The veteran out- field will be back again and Nelson Peloquin of Southbridge will be givea a show. Peloguin is a good hitter and has done well with the semi-profes- sional. Of ecourse be will have to hustle to beat out any of the old men, but as he has shown up 8o well the past two or three years it has been thought best to look him over. BURNS WASN'T BEATEN. But It Was Coming to Him—Britt Says Police Stepped in Too Soen. James Bdward Britt, the naetive son from the coast, who is cutting a wide path .in England, bas given his im pression of the Burns-Johnson fight pictures to Lomdon Sporting Life Britt says that the Canadfan was sirong and going fast when the police interfered. He says: “The rounds are very much the same—Burns always trying and a; gressive end Johnson waiting and con fident. The film is always clear a: distinct and free from vibration. By- ery movement of both men can be easily followed. The battle can be aptly described as too much Johnson, in that Johnson was too big and strong for_his iighter opponent. “In all other departments of the game, however, Burns wvas the equal of the big black, and Lad they been equal in size I do not hosltate to say it might bave ended differently. Con- t¥ary to general roports, the fims dis- closed the fact that, although beaten, Burns was not outelassed. At the time of the police interference Buras was’ strong, although taking consider- able punishment; he could have coa- tinued indefinitely, or at least have fin. ished the twenty rounds. “It was early apparent, though, that barring a knockout Burns had not much chance to win. To sum it uj Briefly, 1t was more Johnson's size ang strength that made his victory poss: ble than superior fighting ability. “Seated at the National Sporting club, watching the gallant stand made by Burns, the smaller man, I instantly thought what might have happened had Johnson been fighting with a man of his own size and weight. “Suppose, for instance, it had been “After seeing these pietures I feel safe in_predicting that if Jeft is half as good as he was when he retired he would have no trouble in beating Johnson. “These pictures are sure to convince the public more than anything else that Jeff nead have no fear of the big darky should he finally decide to re- enter the ring.” » NOTES OF SPORT.
