 Nehmet Nachad, the Turk, who ex- poets to defeat Ernest Roeber to-mor- row night, met two men at the London theater on the Bowery last night. Max Wetzler of New York went against the Turk first. Wetzler weighed about 145 pounds and was very quick and clever, but when the Turk made up his mind to wrestle there was nothing to it." so to speak. and Wetzler was thrown. Time, 6 minutes and 4 sec onds. William Travers,xa husky hea- vyweight, next tackled Nachad. This was one of the quickest bouts of the year. Nachad grabbed Travers around the waist as if he were a weakling, lifted him in the air and threw him to the mat, pinning his shoulders squarely and firmly. The bout lasted just two seconds.

sHARKEY GOING TO FRISCO.


 Tom Sharkey,s persistent efforts to induce Jim Jeffries to regard him as a championship possibility and give him a return fight will in all likeli- hood bear fruit. Sharkey' managef, Barney Reich, said yesterday-tha the ex-sailor and himself would leave for San Francisco to-day. Reich has ey- cry assurance that Jeffries will take Sharkey on when the latter reaches the Pacific coast despite the boiler makers caustie remarks belittling Sharkey's powers as drawing card.
 Reich in an interview with a re porter said: 'I have notified Jim Kennedy, matchmaker of the Twenti- eth Century club, by wire of our in- tended departure. I have also re- quested him to notify Jeffries that Tom will not be able to fight Jeffries at date earlier than New Years Day, instead of December 20. as was our original plan. Jeffries has all along said that he would give Tom another chance. We have the money and that counts in the long run. Are We sure that Jeffries will consent to q match? Well, guess. for you know it would be foolhardy to undertake such a long trip unless we knew what Te were doing"

To Sporting Editor of Democrat
 Dear Sif--In last evenings paper there appeared the remarkable state ment that there will be but one, timer at this match tonight and he will be mutually agreed upon by each wrest- Ter. He will be some prominent busi- ness man. As both contests are ham, dicaps the time is an important fea- ture, as all four athletes wrestle against time. 1 will offer a sugges- ton and one that has an established precedent at all wrestling contests against time. Let each wrestler se- feet his own time keeper and the third one be selected by the stakeholder, who will be the official time keeper and announce the tine.- which will, I think. give entire satisfaction, not only to the wrestlers but to the gener- al public. Let the articles of agree ment be read from the mat and ex- plained. and I think then the sports will understand the conditions of the match and the duty. of the time keep CTS will be clear. which will enable them to perform their work fair and impartially. i@ ~ 4

 The football game between the Yale law school and the Fifth ward team of this city at Newfeld park yesterday afternoon was attended by about 900 persons. who braved the chilly atmos- phere and sat in the grand stand for over an. hour.
 The game was a tie. as neither team could score. 1t was q very interesting game and one well worth witnessing. The good plays were numerous and both sides worked hard to conquer 2 goal, but were not successful. The game was called at 3:15 and Yale won the toss and chose the north goal.-. The Fifth wards kicked off and held for downs in the center of the field and had reached the five yard line when time for the first half was called The playing in the. second half was entirely in Yale's territory. The game came to an end with the ball at the 20 yard line.
 The Yale team sent to this city yes terday was the heaviest team ever sent from the law school to this city. The local team was outweighed by many pounds and made a staunch stand for touchdown. but failed.
 On Friday the Fifth wards will go to Cambridgeport to play the Harvard law school and expect to have an, in teresting game. The local team is very much pleased with. the result of

WITH THE wRESTLERs.
To-Night Will Be Seen One of the Bes Wrestling Contests Ever Seen Here.


 Wrestling Contests Ever Seen Here.
 Every arrangement has been com pleted for the wrestling contest which is to take place at the Auditorium to- night. A new platform has been built in the center of the floor and 1t is some inches higher than the old one so that everybody will have an oppor- tunity to see whether mans shoul- ders are on the mat or not. There will be policemen around the ring to prevent any possible attempt to inter- fere with the wrestlers. In fact ev- erything has been done to make the match one of the best flat was ever given in New England.
 Both Dwyer and Kelly are in good shape for the match. all the money is up, and when they get together to- night there will be something doing. Kelly is still full of confidence and he only laughs when he is told that he is up against a hard proposition. He is just as certain of winning the match tonight as he was when he wrestled before. He likes the strangle hold himself and if he ever gets it on the professor then the match will end right there. That is the way Kelly feels about the matter.
 Dwyer does not do very much talk ing. but he does a lot of thinking. He intimates, however, that when he gets his hands on Kelly he will never let go of him until the shoulders of the local wrestler are both touching the mat. He feels a little bit sore over nf he, ls1e, e,f fa1, ar16 1tn will show the people tonight that he was making no idle boas-s when he said that Kelly would be easy for him with six falls ill one hour of wrestling time. With no holds barred he will make Kelly look like q cancelled post age stamp before he is done with him. These are the thoughts and intima- tions of the professor and perhaps he will make good. Kelly says he won't, Dwyer says he will. and there you are.
 The preliminary bout has again awakened ,a decided interest in the two leading athletic clubs of the city. John Roach has been through a course of stunts at the Washington Hill ath- letic club and he feels certain that he can accomplish the task he. has mapped out for him. He knows that Danny Mccarthy of the Brooklyn ath- letie club is strong, but he fias q little strength himself. so he says. and he will use that with his cleyerness to throw the Brooklyn lad. Mccarthy has not been idle by any means and he has worked out every day and night over at the Brooklyn. athletic club rooms and he is fit as a fiddle. In all probability his plan tonight will be to act on the defensive although he may change these tactics if he sees any advantage. Whatever the result may be the match will be we'll con I tested and probably no two matches will produce fiercer or more. bitter struggles than the two tonight.

Has Been Stamped Out in

on the Mosquitoes Brought
Good Results.

Army Officers Saw elimination

Washington, Oct. 10.-The war de-
partment today made public the annual
report of Mai. Gen. Wood, commanding
the department of Cuba, for the last fis-
cal year. The report deals with military
affairs entirely. Wood says the genera!
conduct OF the American troops in Cuba
continues to be excellent, and COM
plants against them from the civil au-
thorlties and individuals extremely
rare. The total number Of deaths Of Of
ficers and men during the year was 81.
q percentage of less than 1.25. Yellow
fever has now been almost driven from
the island. owing to the energetic war
on the mosquito and the sanitary pre-
cautions adopted. However, during the
past summer five officers of Woods
staff We're taken i'll with yellow fever,
and three of them died. Among the
headquarters employees there We're for
ty-eight victims of yellow fever, with
eleven deaths. Wood devotes a good
part of his report to statement of the
results attending tests Of the artillery
in the fortifications left by the Spanish.
Summarizing these, he says:
The behavior of the guns and car
riages was rather better than expected
by the artillery officers"
The old canteen issue is revived in
this report thru substitute report
furnished by Inspector General Burton.
He says the exchange is great COM
fort to the soldier in Cuba, who is de-
priyed OF many comforts known to him
at home. The officers generally complain
that the elimination Of beer from the
exchange has worked a hardship on the
soldier and has been detrimental to
good order and military discipline.

stage whispers the supposed fact thal
an officers wife was honoring the ball
with her presence. Her manners were
perfect, and the soft, low voice deceived
men who pride themselves upon being
able to tell quality at glance. Natures
own gifts overbalanced all lack of expe-
that her identity was concealed gave her
the aplomb to pretend that she was
really member of the smait set.
She enjoyed the deception like MAUD
Muller made queen for day. She as
surned the airs of a grand Dune and the
capriciousness of coque. Men were
exasperated by her unwillingness to ac-
cept an invitation to leave the ball room
for a glass of wine, yet gracious word
lnollified their wrath. Carriages, whose
liyeried footmen and coachinen fancy
themselves in an upper class compared
with that of the colored queen, were at
her disposal upon that one night, but
sre disdained all these offers and re-
NAMED to be queen of the ball. Just be-
10 the time to unmask anu while she
was undergoing q dangerous cross
questioning from an army officer to
whom she had admitted she was the
wife of a military man, one of the
judges approached her.
Have you got your prize yet?" he
asked.
.oh, yes; I have two or three" she
answered, thinking he was speaking fa-
scetiously.
he is not joking-he means 1T and is
one of the Judges"
oh, no; he's just funning,' responded
the colored girl, and the use of the word
.'funning" amazed them both.
At length they made her understand
she had really won first prize. The army
officer did his best to be allowed to see
her raise her mask, but she was infiexi-
BILE in her resolution, and to this day he
does not know that he and other men
acquainted with the haut ton spent
what they regarded. as their valuable
time in chasing ices for colored serv-

BELLE OF THE BALL WAS BLACK
coIored Girl Creates Sensation at Den,
ver's Carnival Dance.

Denver, Oct. 10.-Travelng on her
shape, q young colored woman, Mrs.
Jessie NJ. Jones, of 500 East Dakota
street, at the carnival ball. set thef fastest
lace OF all, and hidden behind her mask
Ter eyes sparkled with fascination
that made a dozen Denver sweIls her
abject slaves. Even the judges who
awarded her first prize as Columbia girl
almost tainted with astonishment when
in secluded nook she lowered her mask
in requirement with the rules and they
saw comely young mulatto.
None of her admirers was more assid-
uous than were two officers from Fort
Logan, and their persistent attentions
6 ave rise to the general rumor that she
was the wife of a military man. Civil
tians prominent in society and commerce
were rivals for her favors. Since they
have learned she is not quite white, by
ibribes and threats they are trying to es-
cape the "joshing" sure to follow. They
are wondering whether their society
friends will regard it as a cardinal sin.
One young admirer has already made
preparations for a trip east, and he will
not return until the carnival ball Is a
dim and distant memory.
There were extenuating circum-
stances, however. There was no means
uf telling that the symmetrical form was
covered with mahogany skin.
Tragedy and comedy alike were veiled
by the masks and IL they had fallen
without warning things that will remain
secret till the end of time would have
caused endless complications.
Mrs. Jones' own husband, resting after
his daily labors at his modest home in
800 East Dakota street, had no notion
iof the commotion his better half was
creating at the carnival ball. Perhaps IL
lie had even his placid disposition would
have rebelled against the strenuous ef-
forts some society men We're making to
induce Mrs. Jones to accept invitations
TO one future function or another in or
der that they might be sure OF not losing
her. Like the man in the song, they
We're ''glad they found her" and their
hearts sink like leaden balls at the
thought of losing her.
If you were not married would pro-
pose to you on the spit" said one man
in the hardware line. He seemed to for,
get the rumor that he is engaged to a
girl on Capitol Hill. aad he was almost
idelirious in his longing to raise the tam.

There was decided Improvement in
the defensive work and the scrubs
could not penetrate the line, even with

but improving and DR.. Knipe wore a
cheerful smile all during the practice.
