through its representative, Walter
Kelly, says that that organization IS
prepared to give purse Of $l,oOO for
a contest between Dan Mcleod and
Jim Parr of England. The club wants
the match to be held within two
months time. Mcleod has been noti-
I fed of the offer and will, no doubt, ac-
cept, as he has been extremely anxious
to get crack at Parr.
Billy Newman, manager of the New
Polo A. c., is prepared to offer purse
for a match between Leo Pardello and
Dan Mcleod. provided the latter will.
agree to hold the contest within three
weeks. Frank Richfeimer, Pardello's
manager, says he Will post forfelt
for the italian champions appearance
in few days. Mcleod will undertake
to throw Parde1lo three times in one
hour catch-as-catch-can style.
Tom McInerney, the Irish champion,
who arrived in this country few
days ago, has received word, through
his manager, that Tom jenkins is
ready to give the Irishman a chance
and all that is necessary now to clinch
things is for some club to come for
ward with a purse. jenkins writes
that several clubs in Cleveland will
hang up an inducement provided Nc
Inerney meets some other man in the
meantime to show the public his real
worth.
The new Ade1phi club of London is
trying to bring about a match between
George Hackenschmidt of Russia and
Jack .Karkeek of America. The club
is ready to give good sized purse for
a match in January. AS Haclzen-
schmidt is figuring on visiting America
before then, he has notified the match
maker Of the club that he is ready to
wrestle Carkeek, but prefers a contest
about December 10. Carkeek has
promised to notify the club relative to
the bout.
Sam Fitzpatrick has made up his
mind to go to England next January
and when he arrives in London will
promptly look up Jack Carkeek, with
whom he has been for some time in
| communication. Sam thinks that
there is a fine field in this country for
clever heavyweight wrestler and is of
| the opinion that Carkeek would fill
the bill to nicely. Fitzpatrick will
also visit Paris and make arrange
ments with Paul POns to accompany
Carkeek here.
The appended letter has been receiv-
! ed from Dan McKetrick, manager of
Joseph Carroll of England: ''Will
you kindly state that the offer Of Tom
jenkins to meet any one in the world
still holds good Joseph Carroll, the
champion of England and Ireland,
catch-as-catch-can style will meet
him. Carroll is strictly in earnest
about this and will post or cover any
forfeit that Jenkins may deposit If /
/ am assured that he means business.
4 The style must be catch-ascatchcan
with no holds barred
The fact that most Of the reputable
boxing clubs have decided to shut their
doors against him has in no wise net
| tied Joe Walcott, for it is now an
nounced that the noted negro pugilist
will take up wrestling as means of
| livelihood in the future. Before Wal
colt went into the ring he was clev-
er wrestler at both catch-as-catch-ca
and Graeco-Roman style Walcott
j weighs about 145 pounds and there are
number of men in the business at
this weight. 1t is likely, however, that
] they may draw the color line and re-
fuse to meet Walcott.
! John Piening has finally accepted
Tom Jenkins's recent challenge
and there is every indication
now that the two will meet. Piening
says that he will meet Jenkins, but in
sists on naming the conditions. The
Butcher Boy watts the contest to
be mixed style, best two in three
falls to count He is willing to tackle
Jenkins provided the first fall is at
Graeco-R Roman. He is satisfied to let
the second fall go at catch-as-catch-
can and the final to be chosen by the
| toss of d cent. re this is not agreeable
| to Jenkins Fleming declares his will
| ingness to essay to throw jenkins
three times ip one hour at Graeco-
Roman styles
