Buzaygll thes Jg‘kzns and IS Arrested on Charge of | Mayhem. The wrestling. match between Tom Jenkins and Buzayell, the Algerian, ended in a small-sized riot last night at Woodward’s pavilion. . As a se- i quence Jenkins ‘'was treated at the Re- ! ceiving Hospital for a severe wound | caused by a bite on the abdomen while . Lieutenant of Police Price arrested | Byzayell and charged him with the | serious crime of mayhem at the Mis- sion Police Station. The men had been on the mat one ; hour and fifty-six minutes and forty- three seconds without a fall being se- cured. Just before the dramatic end of the affair Jenkins had secured a hammer lock on his agile opponent. The Algerian saw the dangerous posi- tion in which he was and slid off the mat onto the platform. Jenkins com- { plained that he was being bitten and just then Buzayell wriggled off the edge of the platform and both wrest- lers fell to the floor of the pavilion. They were in a tangle for a few mo- ments. JENKINS WINS ON A FOUL. Jenkins was the first to appear and at once complained to Referee Roche ! that he had been severely bitten. He showed a mark on his abdemen about the size of a dollar piece which showed the deep impression of his epponent’s teeth. The referee gave the bout at once to Jenkins on a foul. The latter fearing blood poisoning hastened at once to the hospital for treatment. The spectators hooted and jeered Buzayell and there were repeated calls for Lieutenant of Police Price to arrest him. The attack was such a vicious one that Buzayell was placgd under arrest and was locked up at the Seven- teenth Street Station. The bout was ane of the greatest ever seen in this city. The Algerian proved d master of the art and broke one hold after another with the great- est ease. He was in superb physical condition and stood a terrible going over from Jenkins. He was game to the core and when Jenkins tried some unusually rough tactics he fought back - [BRITT IS READY LAURELS AT A DAY'S NOTICE Hard and Faithful Effect on the Jimmy Britt can afford to let up on his hard work now almost any old day. He is practically fit and ready for his coming battle and can be at weight at a day’s notice. He has decided to. keep up his work for a day or so longer just to be sure that everything is all right, though he will not exert himself as he has been doing for the last week. As usual, a vast throng clamored at the door of the gymnasium yesterday afternoon to see the champion work. | Every one could not be accommodned,{ and there was great fighting and shov- | ing for a chance to get a glimpse at! the plumber boy. He was a little late in starting in and did not devote quite as much time to his stunts as he usu- ally does. He only went four rounds with Frank Rafael, but the pace was fast while it lasted and Jimmy kept sending that right in with terrific force. He evi- dently figures on using it to advantage on Nelson, for he has been paying par- tciular attention to developing it in each bout with his trainer. The left is naturally good and needs no practice, and if the right holds out Jimmy should prove & veritable battering ram. “There is no danger of my breaking it,” ‘he said. “If my old mitt can stand the strain of these lively mixups I am satisfied that I will go through the fight with Nelson without doing it any dam- age. There are more blows styuck in any of my practice bouts than#in most big fights, and the work is pretty rough, so I feel confident that my good right will help me bring home the coin.” The wrestling work which Jimmy has been doing with “Tiv” Kreling has — . 7574 *Trapsetter (Ezell) 7578 *Mocorito (Rya 7562 *Homage (Stephen: Second race, five and a half furlongs, all ages, purs: 75 Dl\ld Boland (Baird) .. . 89 7542 The Cure (Brinkworth & Co. 107 107 542 Tocolaw (Jennings) K -100 ki (7531)Mans: .

Time, | — ] viciously. Early in the struggle he! butted Jenkins and the latter went at him in good old London prize-ring | fashion. Lieutenant of Police Price jumped in the ring and stopped hos- tilities. Later on they went at it again with their fists, but it did not last long. Buzayell was on the defensive fromf first to last and the one disappointment | of the spectators was that he did not | take the offensive and show what he | could do at that style of going. On the few occasions when he was on the | offensive for a moment Jenkins would | at once get him into difficulties. Jenkins was hampered by having to | wrestle in the Graeco-Roman style, as | he is accustomed to catch-as-catch- can. BUZAYELL’'S STRONG MUSCLES. On many occasions Jenkins started to | geta hold in the latter style and then | stopped instantly when he remembered | it was barred. The colored man held | out for the match to be decided on a | flying fall. Jenkins wanted the pin fall, which means that one man must pin the shoulders of his opponent to the mat before the fall be allowed. After they had been wrestling more than an hour Jenkins threw the Alge- | rian with a body hold, but as he did not pin him down it did not count. This | was the closest to a fall that was scored during the bout until the last exciting moment. Buzayell seems to have muscles like steel cables in his neck, as he broke one hoid after an- | other with marvelous ease. The bout between George Braun, the ex-Olympic Club wrestler, and Charles Davis was a joke. Davis knew nothing | about wrestling and Braun toyed with him. He threw him the figst time in | one minute and fifty-six seconds. The | next bout he won in three minutes and | twenty-nine seconds, but it was not al- | lowed, it being a flying fall. Braun then threw him for the third time in one minute and fifty-three seconds. | ‘William McCullough refereed this bout, | while Billy Roche passed upon the | main event. | T0 DEFEND Training Has Its Plumber Lad. helped him wond‘h’my. It has tended to make him a bad man in the clinches | and increased his speed to a marked! de . This is the hardest kind of workK and the sort which wears a man | down. Jimmy thinks he can withstand the toughest fighter in the business after all the practice scrimmages he! has indulged in during the last two weeks, | The members of the sporting frater- | nity who journeyed to Larkspur yes- | terday with the expectation of seeing | Battling Nelson work were. sorely dis- ! appointed, as the Great Dane has taken | a lay off until Sunday. Manager Mur-» phy says Bat is in excellent condition, | and within striking distance of the weight. He also states that -he ap- | preciates the fact that his protege has | worked like a Trojan during this siege | of training, so ordered him to take a, rest until Sunday. The Dane took a short sprint in the ? morning as an eye-opener, and spent | the remainder of the day hunting. 'l'he‘ large crowd of spectators had to bel content with watohlng Eddy Ss.mry, and “Rawhide” Kelly do their gym | stunt. Bat did not take kindly to' Mur- | phy’s orders, as he is a glutton for work, but thought it best to obey the man. behind the gun. Smiling Metzer and Bat have had a secret for quite a length of time, but it leaked out yesterday.. On-the eve,of the battle a'dinner is to be give en at the camp, at which the Great Dane is to announce the engagement | of his friend “Smiling.” This afternoon the smiling one blushingly admitted that there might- be something doing, but refused to give the name of his intended. Nelson will spend to-day hunting in the wilds of Tamalpais. Experts Favor Dr, Logan. Three physicians and a busidess maa | declayed in Judge Coffey’'s court yester- day that Dr. Milburn H. Logan was | mentally and physically competent to | manage his own affairs. The hearing | was upon Dr. Logan's application for restoration to competency. In Novem- ber of last year Dr. Logan was com- mitted to the asylum at Agnews and has recently been released as cured, but there has been no formal dis- charge. On this point a question of the court’s jurisdiction in the matter was raised and further evidence wilt be taken next week, when Dr. Stocking of Agnews will be present. Dr. Logan on the stand said that he was recover- ing from an iliness, but feit able to look after his property, which is worth | about $35,000. ‘ ————— ‘Want Eyidence From Washington.
