 Match Did Not Take Place.
 The threats of Frank Gehle as to l what he will do to Professor DWyer on next Thursday evening when tiley meet on the platform ill the Auditor ium have angered the professor. and he was not very choice in his words this morning when seen by the sport ing editor. In fact, he was very out spoken and he hurled defiance at this western .German Hercules. y Dwyer says he does not care ii he was. sent here by 40 Harvey ParlSers or by any other disgruntled wrestler whom he has beaten. Parker could not beat him, he says, and he has been trying ever since his defeat ill this city to get someone to come here and take ;l fall out of Dwyer. He has finally found his man ill Gehle, says Dwyer, but 'when Gehle is through with me he will go back to Mir Parker and tell him he was gold bricked.' Dwyer says he did not enter into this match with his eyes closed. He knew an effort was being made to defeat him, and lie also knew that there were certain peO* pie in this city who were leauius Of the success he has had here and who have been trying for some time to get a man to put him down. Their first attempt was when they brought Hal- | 1.-.% 4 one look at Parker on the night of the match they knew that tne1r money was gone, because Parker had gone back and looked it. This Is the second attempt to down the professor ana lie says he will not be downed until his last atom of strength has left him.
 Gehle. in the meantime, is training faithfully at the Brooklyn Athletic club rooms and the boys of the club say that he is the best man that has yet come to Waterbury to face Uwyer. Gehle is g years of age and stands feet, 9M inches in height. lie weighs in condition 165 pounds. He has been wrestling since 1887 and since that time has taken part in about 25O matches. He has met all the best wrestlers in the country, Including Lewis, Tom Cannon, Mcleod. Farmer Burns, Pete Schumacher, Matsada, the Jap Young Bibby, Meryin Thompsoii, and Murat, Turk No 3. He has de feated them all and stands on that record to defeat Dwyer. He Is nor afraid of any of the lightweights, and when he finishes Dwyer he is going after them all i'll the east.
 A good preliminary has been ar ranged between Jack Harevy, the Brooklyn strong boy, now living i'll New Haven, and either Danny Me Carthy of the Brooklyn Athletic club or Jesse Foley of Naugatuck. It will probably be Mccarthy who will tackle the strong boy.
 Leonhardt and Bothner were to have wrestled at Maennerchor hall, East Sixty-seventh street, last night, and a large crowd was in attendance. The managers forgot to secure a license and the bout was unavoidably post poned.
 Terrific wrestling was witnessed by the 300 people who gathered at the pastime Athletic club last evening to see John J. Little throw George Leslie, William Bracket, Jack Stonefield and Dick Devine twice each in an hour. Clever as he is, Little failed in the task. He threw Leslie and Bracket, according to the regulations, and then quit, 9 minutes and 31 seconds after he closed with the first man on the mat.-Brockton Enterprise.
 Buffalo, Feb 15.-Tom Jenkins of Cleveland defeated Jim Parr of Eng land in their bout for the catch-as- catch-can championship at Convention hall here last night. Jenkins threw Parr of the first fall in 50 minutes and 30 seconds, and the second fall in 20 minutes and 10 seconds. Jenkins brought about the first fall by holding Parr's arms between his legs and pressing his shoulders to the mat. Tom won the second fall and the match With hammer lock and crotch hold. Parr. apparently, never had .. chance 10 win. He was the equal to Jenkins III cleverness and knowledge of wrest- Ing but the champion was his master when It came to strength Parr did secure two flying falls. Jenkins weighed 190 pounds and Parr scaIa1 at l68 pounds. Several times durin@ the first bout Jenkins had Parr al1nosf down, but each time Jim broke +be hoids and got behind Jenkins. Tho second bout was too one-sided to be in- terestng Jenkins had all thu bet+ar ol II and won as he pleased
