A wrestling match will take place tomorrow night between Jack Burke, champion light-weight pugilist of Texas, and Ed. Smith who holds the light-weight championship of Missouri, for wrestling. This will be the most scientific match which has been witnessed, in this city for some time. It will not be a fake match, of which there has been too many in this city all ready for the good of sport. The match will be for a wager of $50 a side. Both men are in good shape and will fight a hard battle for victory.
