KELLY AND BOTHNER,
No Match Was Arranged at Last
 Nights Meeting.


 The proposed wrestling match be- tween John E. Kelly and George Both. her. which was to have been arranged last night, did not materialize. It is not very probable that it will be ar ranged, either. for there is big diff ferance of opinion as to the amount Of money to be wrestled for, and as to the division of the purse and gate receipts. The parties interested met at the Democrat office last night, but outside of considerable amount of hot air' being scattered around the office. nothing definite was done.
 The packers of George Bothner were the first to arrive on the Scene. They were Maurice Mccarthy. John keat- ing and Lewis Corr. They had not been seated very long when John E.. Kelly and his training partner, John Roach, entered. After a few casual greetings. the sporting editor requested the parties to get to business. Kelly at once started the ball rolling by say ing that he would state what his terms were. and if they were satisfactory then there would be no delay in mak- ing q match. He said that he would wrestle Bothner for $50 a side, and. win or lose, the purse and gate receipts must be equally divided. This propo- sition made Bothner's friends decided ly suspicious, and at once Corr spoke up and said that he wanted nothing to do with a match of that kind; that if his friends wanted it they could have it, but there was nothing ill it for him. He made the proposition to wrestle for S2OO a side, and let the winner take G5 and the loser 35 per cent of everything: This Kelly would not agree to. He then made the prop ositiOn to have q match for $1OO a side and let the winner take the whole business or divide it in the same per centage. Kelly would not agree to this. either.
 Mccarthy then tried to induce Kelly to change his proposition, but Kelly would not yield. There was a lot of talk passed back and forth 1Atween the men, Kelly claiming that if Both ner came to Waterbury and beat him that he, Bothner, could travel on the reputation he would make by throw ing Kelly. The friends of Bothner laughed at this and said that Rothner had reputation and that Kel- ly had none. Kelly claimed he threw the man that threw Bothner (mean- ing Little), and he thought that was enough for any wrestler A few of the old sores were rcopened but it was evident that Kelly did not intend to change from the proposition he made at the start. and all left the office disputing the ability of each man.
 Before leaving the office, however, the friends of Bothner said they stood ready at any time to make a match with Kelly for any part of $500, win ner to take all, or they would per- centaGe the whole business. They would not listen to any such thing $ dividing evenly the purse and gate. and furthermore Bothner would not come to Waterbury to wrestle for the small amount of $50 side.
 Kelly also reiterated his statement that it was $50 side and divide the whole business equally or there would be no match.
