JOHN, KELLY'S CHALLENGE.
He Throws Down the Gauntlet to
 John Little, of Brockton.

Manager James s. Carroll has sent a def to the managers of the Brock ton wrestler, Little, that ought to make them come to time or Keep quiet. He offers to match Kelly against Lit tie, for $500 a side, and he has sent on that statement to Brockton. He has also forwarded a set of articles for Little to sign and when they are returned signed he. will at once send on S1oO as a forfeit. This money, however, must be deposited in bank in Brockton, as- the Waterbury man. agement does not intend to take any, more chances with the purse disap- bearing. The match must be for $500 q side, as the gate receipts do not amount to much after expenses are paid. The men must wrestle at 40 pounds, and if the Brockton man is in earnest he can find plenty of mon ey to win on the result.

 McKeever Arrives Home From Lon
 don.
 Edward Mcbride, the Buffalo ref cree, pauses in his regular occupation of making bad decisions to throw some mud at the Gans-McGovern match. He presents a novel reason for believing that the contest will not be honestly fought. Here it is:
 Sam Harris, manager Of McGoverR, and Al Herford, manager of Cans, are old time friends, and the financial part of it will never be given out to the public. Herford is Hebrew, Harris is q Hebrew, and Lou House man, manager of Tattersnlrs club in Chicago, where the fight will take place, is a Hebrew, and there are many who claim that the match is al- ready cooked up. Not one of the three mentioned. however, has ever been accused of crookedness, but it certainly looks suspicious to match Cans and McGovern, once virtually sparring partners, when a man like
 
 ready and willing to fight McGovern for that title. At that, Erne believes that Cans will win out. I don't, for Harris knows very well what he is doing when he makes matches for Mir McGovern of Brooklyn
 The phenomenal referee fails to add that McGoyern is an Irishman, Cans a negro and Siler, who will referee, an Englishman. The spectators, and there will be many thousands, will in clude all nationalities.
 It was left for the infantile intellect of Edward Mcbride to attempt to foist the intolerabls rubbish above quoted on the sporting public. Here is Terry McGovern, man who has fought in 1 manner to leave not shadow of ba- sis for suspicion, attacked by this dod- dering Buffalonian on the ground of | racial prejudice! Because McGovern's S manager is a Hebrew. the fighter, therefore. must be dishonest The at tack is all the more disgracefuI because Mcbride does not believe what he writes He does it out of revenge be- cause BuTalo'G exploded phenomenon.

 Following the decision of the Meri- den High school authorities not to al low Waterbury High school to play any ringers in the final championship game at Yale field next Saturday morning in the Connecticut Intersehol- astic league, Manager Haf Brainard, of the local eleven, went to New Ha- ven this morning and consulted with the advisory board of athletics at Yale. Manager R. V.-Hixon of the Yale uni versity foot ball team assured Mana ger Brainard that the rules of the league would be strictly enforced and Waterbury would have to play le- gitimate team or the game would be declared forfeited to Meriden, Manager tixon extended an invitation to the whole Meriden team to remain in New Haven Saturday afternoon and wit ness the Yale-Indian game free of ex- penss. The offer was accepted and the Meriden boys will witness this i'm portant foot ball battle. Tickets for the game Saturday morning were placed on sale yesterday afternoon. That Meriden does not intend to be hoodwinked by Waterbury Saturday is apparent from action taken to-day. Besides Manager Brainard going to New Haven. another man was sent to Waterbury with. instructions to look up the pedigree of all the Waterbury players and ascertain how many of them are attending school. Particular investigation was to be made concern ing one young man about 20 years old, who is said to be taking an elaborate study of music and gymnastics, and who, it is alleged, attends school only one period each day. The Meriden man sent to investigate Is captain J. J. Landrigan, of the Meriden police department, and he went under unof- fcial directions from Mayor E. E. | West, whose son is quarterback of the Meriden eleven. It is pretty certain thing that if the Meriden High school authorities would allow ringers to be played Meriden could wipe up the face of the earth with any school team in Connecticut. The case of Arthur But Ter is an example. He only left school October 10, and would willingly have attended school one period each day if he had been allowed to remain on the team but Captain Hyatt refused to allow him to play unless he continued as a regular pupil at the School.-Meri- den Journal
