 Nick Elliott says he is waiting to hear from Frank Herrick, whom he challenged recently Elliott declares that if Herrick wishes a match he will be ready at any time to sign articles. In the meantime Elliott Is open to Vrestle any other heavyweight of note, at which catch-as-catch-can rules must prevail.
 August Faust, the Graeco-R Roman ex- pert. is after matches with any heavy weight in the business and has author ized his manager, J. c. Schmitt, to ar range bouts for him. Schmitt says: During the past few months Faust has advanced rapidly in his profession and in my opinion in another year he twill be the champion. He is young, strong and vigorous, and has all the attributes which go to make the sue cessful athlete. Faust's forte is Graeco-R o-Roman, but he knows a thing or two about catch-as-cateh-can. At Graeco-R Roman Faust will meet Pien- ing ars1 at catch-as-catch-can he will agree to throw Bothner three times ill one hour. If any of these men want to do business they can cover my $100, which Ideposited the other day"
 The Challenge of Alex SWansen of Yonkers to meet George Bothner for the Ii weight title is not taken seri- ously by the followers of the game. Although Swanson in a number of his matches has shown strength and clever ness. 1t is not believed that he can de- os1i son e def. Bothner said yesterday: "Swansen is one of my pupils and I taught him most all he knows about the game. Still he has perfect right to challenge me. I will meet SwanseD. but the match must be for big side bet. say $900s because without this inducsment oll the outside match would not be worth the while. Swanson is not known. and if we play for the gate alone there would not be much money in 1t for me. If Swanson can secure this sum. why there won't be any trou- ble in us coming together"
 Jim Parr of England is hot after a match with Dan Mcleod, whom he really thinks he can defeat. Mcleod is not nearly so heavy as Jenkins and for this reason alone Parr believes that he can come pretty near throwing Me 4<COd dllu M 1AnltlS sI0c c3Icu-dS-cdlcD- can title Parr has been boosting a match for himself and Mcleod with the result that a we'll known Buffalo promoter ig willing to hang up a purse of $2.500 for the match. Mcleod and Jenkins, it is contended. did not draw very much money at Worcester. and Parr believes that if the bout is de- cided at Buffalo very large crowd will be on hand to witness the struggle
 Harvey Parker says that there-is no truth in the report that he was to have wrestled at Fall River, Mass. the other night. It was understood that Kid Grove was to have been Parler's op- ponent; but Harvey in letter writes that he never had any intention of wis iting Fall River or meeting anyone there at least for the present
 ! Deyetees of wrestling can soen ex- pect to receive visit from Ali Noura- lah Hassen of Turkey. professionally known. as Nouralah. Souralah has Just arrived. in England after Il long stay in his native city, Constantinople. Nouralah was in this country two years ago. His massive frame and gigantic height made all of the local wrestlers afraid of him and he found trouble in securing contest. Tom Jen- 4Sins finally had the temerity to go against him and was thrown in short oEder. After. that bout Nouralah sailed for Turkey. This is Nonralah's first appearance in England and he is meet ing all corners at the English music halls. He offers S125 to. any man whom he cannot throw in fifteen min utes and offers to wager Jack Carkeek $1.O0O that he can down the latter twenty times in one hour Nouralah's first opponent in London was Charles Le Meunier of France. The Turk sim ply toyed with the Freuchman and after contesting four minutes and 51 seconds threw him heavily.
 Dan Mcleod. who defeated Tom len kins for the catch-as-catch-can cham pioDship Of America at Worcester on Christmas day. arrived in New York yesterday. Mcleod carries his new aHrels modestly. yet seems to Ee happy over what he terms a we'll earned vic tory Speaking of the match Mcleod says: It has been my ambition all along tn beat Jenkins and at last I have succeeded. I knew right along that I wass his master. and those who wit messed the bout will agree that wen ol my merits. I see Jenkins says that he onit because his leg was injured and that he was afraid of blood noson- ing. We'll. that may look feasible tn some but the general public will not swallow that gag. Jenkins to all ID. Dearances was fit and in good trim when the bout started. The way he started negotiations for the first fall proves that he was strong and out fo down me. But I was well supplied with strength. too and gave back as good as I received. am no4 afraid of Ienkins nor any man Hreathing I will meet him again any 7. titne He gave me a chance to retrieve myself and I will give him another chance. too.
