WRESTLING.

TWO PROFESSIONAL BOUTS.

ALLEY AND COLEMAN AGAIN

Tho Ex-Servicemen'n Wrestling Union is giving followers of the sport a treat when it announces that it has arranged a return match next Monday, between Morman Tom Alley, light-heavy-weight champion of the world, and Abo Coleman, otherwise known as tho "Jewish Hercules," on account, of his colossal strength. Both are brilliant exponents ot the sport, and. after their previous sensational encounter, in which Alley gained the decision, there is likely to be a big house to witness Coleman endeavour to avenge his defeat. Coleman says that had the previous contest been allowed to continue ho would have won. *' Both_ men urq confident of victory, and Coleman's decisive win over Kara Pasha, tho Terrible Turk, indicates that next Monday's contest will prove to bo a really good one. An added attraction is tho match between Tom Rny and Alex. Lundyn, which is a challenge match to precede the big contest. Intending patrons may book their seats at Watts' Sport? Depot, Exchange Lane.
