CHARLEY MITCHELL COMING

Charley" Mitchell has sailed from the other side for this country on the Majestic. Before leaving England lie said that he would fill several ring en- agreements here and expected to pick up a pot of money during his stay. Mitchell knew he couldn't fight any more before he tackled Jim Corbett at Jacksonville in 1S34, but he made the match just the same and did enough talking to entitle him to the decision. He even out-taiked Corbett, which was in itself remarkable feat. Now the Englishman comes here again to tell the youngeTGeneration what wonder he used to be. especially when he ran away from John l.. Sullivan at Chan tilly. France. If Mitchell would really care to indulge in another battle there might be an interesting time in store for him if he consented to meet Terry McGovern. "Chawley' could not run away from Terry and Terry would probably enjoy the event largely. Mitchell's nerve is admirable.

WITH THE WRESTLERS.
Intimated That the Roeber-Pons Match
 Was Crooked.


 Was Crooked.
 Those who saw the pOnS-EOeDer wrestling match at the Madison square Garden on "Wednesday night have var jed opinions as to whether it was on the level or not. Many experts, who pretend to know when wrestlers are trying, were positive yesterday that Pons and Roeber did their utmost to bring about decisive result. They declared that while the match was un- usually tame, the men eXerted them selves to the limit, so much so that both men were practically played out when Police Inspector Thompson stopped proceedings at midnight. Referee Charley White was quite sure that there was no deal, though he admitted to q reporter before the bout that he would be on the alert when he got in the ring and if the wrestlers did any thing that seemed wrong he would in- terfere and declare the affair mo con- test" Men who were sceptical, how ever, were convinced that there was something under the surface. They pointed to the agreement between the contestants that if neither had gained a fall by 12 o'clock the decision of the referee should be draw. They also 
 the inspector of police in putting stop to the struggle at midnight, when to have continued further would not have been violation of the law. It was alleged, too, that the inspector was re- uuested by representatives of the wres- tiers to make this move, though there is no available evidence to this effect. The incesSant aggreSsiveness of POnS throughout was another point raised by the unbelievers, who maintained that it was simply case Of RoeDer prostrating himself and the French man making tireless, but unsuccessful efforts to turn him. Johnny White. former boxing and wrestling referee Of the Broadway A. C.. made the asser- ton that the whole affair was cut and dried in the most skilful manner. With the idea of having another match.
 Little wants satisfaction, and may ! get backing for another match. Parker is ready to provide it. If he is, and Kelly is sure of a victory, he ought to take up with the offer and make money. Carroll and Kelly, if they think they have a good thing, ought not to let it get away.-Brockton En- ! terprise.
 Manager J. s. Carroll of Waterbury writes to the sporting editor of the Brockton Enterprise to deny that Wrestler John E. Kelly's ''heart is broken by the result of the match with Harvey Parker. Kelly rec ord,'' Mir Carroll writes, twill com pare favorably with that of the wres. ting heroes of Brockton." MT Carroll says that he does not claim but that the best man won in the Parker-Kelly match here, but he says kelly's leg was severely wrenched within three and one-half minutes of the time the match began, and he only carried the work through by sheer determination Perhaps some time in the future he may look for satisfaction from the in vincible Parker,' are Mir Carrolls last words. e@N

CANNOT GET STATEHOOD.

A Washington dispatch Of IL l..A instant says: The territories Jared unusually well in the distribution o! committee places by the speaker Of the house. Delegate Smith of Ari- zons was placed on the committee on Indian afTsirs, the committee on ter r;tories and on the committee Of mines and mining.
 Delegate Rodey of New Mexico was placed upon the committee of mili- tsry affairs and the committee on posto6ce and roads.
 Delegate Flynn of Oklahoma is on the committee of agriculture. the com mittee on public lands and the com mittee on territories.
 Delegate Wilcox of Hawaii is on the committee Of coinage, weigbts and measures and the committee on pri- vate land claims.
 Congressman Knox Of Massachu- setts is chairman of the house com mittee on territ 7ries, and of the sever teen members of that committee four teen are from the eastern and south ern etstes. This nos e particularly good ehowIng for statehood, aud al though it is too early to poi, the com mittee on the question Of admission it is evident the speaker is not an GU. thusisstic advocate of admission.
 l. will require considerable hard work to arouse mush sediment ID favor of making new states during tn }. present session of congress O.la, homs stands the best chance, but iu the case of that territory the situation is complicated by contention between Oklahoma and Indian Territory as tC whether one or two states should b, created.
