Charlie Metro, the Greek who blew jut of New Hampshire a week ago, and who in five days dangled the scalps of Mike Nestor, Joe Turner and Kid Ellis to his belt, added another to his string at the Academy last night when he defeated Fritz Hanson in straight falls. Metro annexed th first melee in an hour and It) minutes with a full body hold and the secolid ; in 12 minutes with a jacknife. Last night's scrap was full of ac tion. Hanson laid a shade on the science end, but Metro more than mad ; VP 'for 'It in speed, strength and en durance. His bridging was superb . and his entire repertoire of defensive , tactics far abosve the ordinary. In one respect, however, he failed to Jive up to his heralded reputation. He ; was not tough.

NEGRO SLICKER GOES TO JAIL WHEN VICTIM CATCHES HIM That negro "ciy slicker" who has been working on members of his race by the use of a conndence game that would have been a world beater in the palmy gold brlok days, has nnally landed in limbo, aocording to informa tion received by local police, ..The negro was arrested In Goldslkoro early this week after one or nis vfetims had recognised him and put the minions of the law on his trail. With such .variation as th circum stances demanded, the scheme - worked by the slicker was practically tho same in all cities. He would find a pure, but the sum contained therein was not of the proper size to divide equally with the "fortunate" negro who hap pened to be a party to the finding. This bystander would be aSKea to ante up a sum, generally about all he had, which would be added to the "found" purse, whereupon the finder would laJte it around the corner to get a careful counting whits man to divide it two ways. The counter was never found, leastwise none of the hygtandiag negroes ever had the finder of the purse to pay a return engagement, The confidence game, adcording to the police, was worked hers soma.-few weeks .'ago and the fortunate, person who was to share In the find was minus a bicycle and over 1200 in very quick, order., ' .
