 Manager in New York To-Day.

Manager in New York To-Day.
 If Professor Dwyer accepted all the challenges that have come his way since he defeated Harvey Parker he would be kept busy every week for the next twelve months. He will meet all he can in due time, but is in no hurry to P some of them q chance to make a dollar or two at his expense. The latest seeker after q match is Schumacher of Cleveland. This man Is one of the best in the business and he made Parker look like an amateur out west few years ago. In fact, he threw him twice in less than fifteen minutes. Schumacher is one of the huskiest wrestlers and is well known through the west where he makes all of them go to the mat. He may be given trial before the season is over. Dwyer went to New York this morn ing and he will meet two or three man. agers and George Bothnef and will en- deavor to arrange match. Bothner would like to wrestle in New York, but Dwyer prefers to have him come here. Bothner, it is said, received only $200 for his share of the gate money at the match between Parker and himself He can get more than that right here in this city and much more. A match may be arranged, however before the day is over.
 Perrie will return with Dwyer and will finish his training here for his match with Atlas of Bridgeport. Both men are now in excellent condition and ready for the battle which takes place Christmas afternoon at half-past three. The hour is made 3:30 so that everybody can have plenty of time to eat his Christmas turkey and after dinner can enjoy corking good wrestling match. There will be no dollar seats at this match and the only prices will be p, 90 and 75 cents. The match will be for S1OO side and a portion of the gate receipts. There will be just 1000 D cent seats and there will be no extra charge when the number of seats is exhausted. The reserved seats will be 90 and 75 cents and every person entering the hall will be treated alike. Tickets will be sold only at the box office on the day of the match This match will be conducted on the same plan as was the match be- tween Dwyer and Kelly and Dwyer and Lundin.
 Fred Burns, on behalf of his protege, Max Luttbeg of St Louis. has thrown down the gauntlet to Prof Dwyer, the Waterbury wrestler. Burns says: Having received no satisfaction from either Bothner or Parker, I am going now to direct my attention to Dwyer. Luttbeg is a good man, and 1 am ready to sign articles at once. l will post any forfeit Dwyer desires. If he ac- cepts I will agree to any reasonable terms. Luttbeg will wrestle at 133 to 135 pounds"
 The following letter has been re- ceived from Prof NJ. J. Dwyer of Wa terbury. q would like to meet George Bothner in a wrestling match. will agree to throw Bothner twice in one hour, catch-as-catch-can style, for $25O or $500 side. Bothner can come to Waterbury and get q guaranteed purse of $400, the same as Parker got, whom I defeated. will further agree to weigh under 13S pounds, and will also consent to arrange a bout with any man weighing 150 pounds in America for from $500 to $1,0o0 side.-Brock-' ton Times. Dwyer get under 13S poundsi Somebody must be dreaming. If he reached 150 pounds 1t would be the limit.
 There was some very spirited wrest- ling at the London theater on the Bow cry, last night. and the large crowd present enjoyed the sport John Piening, the Butcher Boy" and Young Acton each tackled two men last night and undertook to throw their opponents in fifteen minutes or forfeit $50. Piening began operations by taking on Frank Kramer at Graeco- Roman style. Piening got q hammer lock and threw his man in minutes and 45 seconds. Young Acton then met Jack Dumont. Acton threw Du- mont with a three-quarter Nelson in minutes and 15 seconds.
 Jim Calvin, q heavyweight from Ire land. who is also pugilist, next went against Fleming. Calvin by clever wriggling got away from some tight holds. but twelve seconds before time was up Piening applied half Nelson and secured the fall. Joe Sabino, a local lad, wound mp the show by stay ing with Acton. He was loudly ebaarQd 0f fha finish
