Finally, after three minutes of wrestling, Gotch got @ hold on Mahmout's left leg and threw him to the mat. The American cham- pion was after the foreigner like a wildcat and the Bulgarian responded with_every ounce of his strength, buf could not break Gotch's hold. Mah- mout_bridged and used every artifice, but Gotch gradually forced his oppo- nent's shoulders to the mat. It was a magnificent test of strength between two great exponents of wrestling, but the champion, cheered on by his ad- finally secured a crotch and clson_hold and Referee Smith gave him the fall in eight minutes.

After some sharp work Gotch wriggled out of the Turk's hold and assumed the aggressive. Gotch tried repeatedly for the deadly toe hold, but Mahmout fought harder than before. Gotch obtained a bar lock on Mahmout, but the men wri gled off the mat. Referee Smith call- ed them to the center of th ring. Mahmout allowed Gotch his d hold.

Rather than call off the match, Gotch agreed to Mahmout's proposal, al- thcugh he contended that the rules called for shod feet. Dorando in Mixup at Bridgeport. Bridgeport, Conn., April 14.—Doran- do Pietri, the Italian runner, started in a twelve mile race in the Park City rink here tonight against Bill Norton and Arthur Handy, both of this city, they to run in relays. The understand- ing” was that Norton and Handy were to relieve each other at the end of each three miles. Dorando started at a_ fast clip and gained half a lap on Norton in the first mile. Handy then relieved Nor- ton and ran for a few laps. Dorando's brother protested vigorously agalnst the short relays. The gfld'epor'. men, however, insisted that they bad a right to run as they pleased. When the fourth relief was started, before the first_half of the second mile was fin- ished and the local men, sprinting all the time, had gained a slight lead in the race, Dorando’s brother stopped him and_the contest was declared off. Dcrando afterward ran an exhibition ten miles. McKinnon Wins on Foul. Boston, April 14—Bill McKinnon of Roxbury, middleweight, won in the cleventh round of a scheduled twelve round bout from Sailor Burke of New York tonight on a foul called by Ref- eree Sheehan. The battle, which was held under the auspices of the Armory Athletic association, was a stiff one throughout. McKinnon was knocked down in the fourth round and Burke seemed to have the best of the bout until the sixth. In this round Burke sprained three ligaments of his left arm just below the elbow and from tha {time fought almost exclusively with his right. No Rule Wins by a Nose. Oakland, Cal.

Re- New York, April 14—There was a notable lack of animation in the stdck market today, reaching a stage resem- bling torpidity at times, A large pro- portion of the daily operations at the present period are supposed to origi- nate within the walls of the stock ex- change amongst the professional room traders. A market of such narrow proportions is not impervious even to such a strictly local influence ag the weather, which wag calculated to dis- courage a spirit of enthusiasm today. To that influence was attributed a share in the repression that was shown in the day's dealings. It is apparent, also, that increasing attention is given by the stock market operators to the grain crop conditions. 1In view of the admittedly impaired condition of the winter wheat crop, extra interest cen- ters In the preparations for the spring wheat crop. The advices from the spring whea® region today were of un- propitious conditiong for seeding owing to the -inclement weather. The -~ensi- tive condition of the wheat market in ite highly speculative state empha- sizes the effect of news factors in that market, and, by reflection, in the stock market. ~ The extension of the Jong interest In stocks in the course of the prolonged rise adds to the vulnerability of the market and the professionals are watchful for opportunities to attack the bull position and to attempt to force speculative liquidation by de- pressin~ prices and exhausting mar- gins. These attempts were but mod- erately guccessful today, in spite of the vantage point of the lower price level already established in yesterday's trad- ing, Some slight unsettlement In the opening dealings wag due (o fears of the effect of the Turkish troubles. This selling appeared to come from local sources in anticipation of foreign selling, but when it London was, in contrary, buying stocks in this market, the early depression was overcorhe.” The rise which fol lowed was again interrupted by ev: dences of liquidation on the part of professionals, on the crop outlook and the call for a reaction on general principles, Some of the gpecial stocks which have been pushed upwards most rapidly of late plainly showed the ef- fects of profit taking, and this had a sympathetic effect on the general list. Fresh advances were brought about at new points, and this served to offset the effect of the weak stocks and to keep the tone unsettled, The coal were strong as a group. Lackawanna & Western rose its previous record price to iles of only a few hundred wres. This advance was the onlv sboration of rumors of a plan for < extra disbursement to the stock | holders of this company. There was | some further show of strength, also, in the Gould group and reports con- | tinued to be heard of the maturing | of the plan of the extensive financing of those companies. Reports of shad- ing of prices of wire products indicated that the downward course -of steel products was still in progress. The market closed with rather sensation- al demonstrations going on in the coalers, but the tone of the general list was irregular up to the last. Bonds were jrregular.

This is McGrath's chance to prove that the Chief has nothing on him in the wrestling line, and if Jack turn- the trick by flop- ping tre Indlan for the decision he wili win back some of the prestige iost in the last match. A number of those at the ringside iz the former match were of the opinion that McGrath didn't get all that he de- served in that one, as they ¢laimed the falls were awarded by the referee be- fore both shoulders had fairly hit the canvas, and they believe that Mec- Grath has it ia him to throw the Red- skin. Two preliminaries will furnish good sport, Harry Erann meeting Willis_of this city and Peter Colus meeting Kid Sultan. Another preliminary that Ma- Grath will try to get on will te a bout betwesn a trolley road lineman ®nd a barber, Bill Mahoney being the line- man and Jack Moriarty the barber. Their respective merits as wrestlers have been the subject of considerable animated discussion and their friends would like to see them settle it on tne mal. ~~ FOR PRACTICE GAME. Manager Benoit Will Try Out Candi- dates for Norwich-Taftville Team. Mponger Benlt of the Noiwiiy Tafthile team of the Bastern Connec- ticut league will ozen the local season and give the Norwich followers a first look at his candidates in a game next Saturdav at Sachem park, when Man- ager Mitchell will bring up his Wester- ly team of the Rhode Island-Connecti- cut league. Manager Benoit has filed the follow- ing names withh Secretary Sullivan of the Kastern Connecticut league, as re- quired by the constitution: Adam Leo- pold, Adolph Larowe, Wm. Emerson, Wm. Boucher, Henry Tatro, John . McSheffrey, Daniel Murphy, Wm. Mc- Clatferty, James McClafferty, Jack Cas- ey, John Fields, Cy Coughlin, Wm. Clabby, W. W. Miller, J. Phillipps, Tim Sullivan, Fred Sullivan, Bob Suliivan, Jackie Gallivan, Jackie Kane, Loffler and John Greenwood. It is not expected that this whole Hst will appear for trial, but the names have been flled for 'reserve. It is Manager Benolt's intention to carry two pitchers and two catchers, all reg- ular players, so that the outfield will be filled. by J McClafferty and probablv a pitcher and catcher. The men who are expected to be on hand Saturday for trial are Catchers Larowe, Clabby, Fields, Miller, Greenwod and Emerson; Pitchers Boucher, Phillips, Gallivan, Coughlin, Kane; Inflelders Casey, Leopold, Fred Sullivan, McShef- frey, Bob Sullivan, 'Wm. McClafferty and Jack Casey will captain the team, Danlel Murphy has left town and is now trying out with New Britain of the Connecticut league. Casey was the star shortstop of the league last year, and is a lively hust- ling player who will get work out of the nine. The local manager expects to pick a bunch of players from those named who will make it interesting for the other teams to beat out, and will fur- nish the public with good baseball. While the locals have only one Satur- day to practice before the opening of the season, they will arrange to have a practice game some time during next wek, 0 as fo be in condition for the opening game, on April 2éth. With the exception of two or three, Manager Benoit knows the abllity of every man on the list, and If they only show up on Saturday he will be able to plck a good team to represent Norwich. The rule this season gives him the privilege of using as many men as he wants from Norwich, as the team represents the whole town. Rolls at High Mark.
