 Matches.

He does not care to Wrestle any more for a time at least and Will not unless big inducements are held out to him. Manager Tuohey, Wltt- mer and Mort Henderson left Water bury this morning for Fitchburg, Mass, where Henderson is to meet Charley l Rogers, known as the Terrible 4an- kee," in q handicap match. This Will take place on April IS and Henderson agrees to throw Rogers three times i'll one hour. After that match Wittmer 1 is going after Lundin once more and may force the latter into another match. Lundin has opened a saloon in l Worcester and had about decided to quit the wrestling game, but Manager Tuohey has taunted him so much with being afraid of Wittmer that the big Swede may decide to try him again. On April 24 Henderson will meet Ed Atherton in Batavia and then win come Wittmer's big contest. Jim Parr has been after Wittmer for q mixed match and Manager Tuohey sent tele- gram last night to Syracuse to close with Parr for a finished match at the mixed style of wrestling. No Cornish style will be used because Wittmer does not believe he is a success at it.
