Those who under- stand wrestling will realize what this means. Harvey, at 122 1bs., was thrown once by Myers, who weighed 136 lbs. The little fellow had it all over him in science, but his holds were broken by the superior strength of Myers. Perry (132 lbs.) conceded nine or ten pounds to Taylor (142 1bs.). Teylor eecured one fall and Perry came back strongly to take two falls in quick succession and win the bout. "Eddie" Dolan (153 1bs.) conced- ed eighteen inches in height and ten or twelve pounds in weight to Trietes and held him to a draw. Dolan had a bad leg from footbal. and was not in very good shape, but made this bout one of the best of the 1bs., once in the first round and once in the second. Saylor, 175 1bs., took two straight falls from Stewart, 155 lbs. | NEWS OFF THE WIRES IN CONDENSED FORM Tidings From Places Far and Near Are Briefly Recounted.

It was decided that providing | there was a tie in the junior series { @ sudden death game would be play- ed at Napanee to declare the win- ner. The secretary was instructed to try and get home-and-home games played in the senior series, Provid- ing he is unable to get the consent of the clubs to such a scheme, the senior series will be divided into two groupings. The west group will con- sist of Belleville, Napanee and Co- bourg, while Kingston and Brock- ville clubs will make up the eastern group. The western group will play | a single set of home-and-home games, while the eastern group will play a double set of home-and-home games.

Ottawa, Dec. 13. -- Progressive members will find themselves of great importance in the next Parlia- ment. Conservatives are too dazed from their overwhelming defeat of last Tuesday to have formed plans as yet, but before the results of the polling their spirits it had been intended to invite the Pro- gressives to a tariff truce, while unit- ing on a plank of national ownership of railways to defeat the Liberals, who would have been represented as under the domination of Montreal in- terests Hon. Mr. King defeated this plan ithat will be the in part by declaring in favor of Gov- ernment ownership having a fair trial, and Sir Lomer Gouin, while be- lieving in private ownership as the solution to the problem, bows to the accepted fact. 5 Sir Lomer has been aware all along that no political eombination could have carried a wroposal to turn the government roads over private ownership, and that a tion for that purpose would have very few adherents outside of Mont- real Island. Hon. Mr. King was never ignorant of the plans hatched in wealthy Tory cireles in Montreal to defeat the people's will in this particular. Sir Lomer Gouin also knew the views of his leader, and acceded to them. The only thing yet in doubt is whether Sir Lomer will agree to the early inclusion of the Grand Trunk Railway in the National System, and only bar to cordial relationis between the Liberal Ge ernment and the Progressive group.
