WITH THE WRESTLERS
Dwyer Has Sent an. Ultimatum to
 Jenkins.

Jenkins.
 An uItimatum has been sent to Tom Jenkins by Prof Dwyer and if it IS accepted the match will be made at once. Three falls in an hour with the strangle hold barred is the proposition made to Manager Tuohey. Should an acceptance be sent on the match will probably take place in this city within two weeks or three weeks at the most. The story printed in yesterdays Dem ocrat relative to Dwyers entrance into New York created whole lot of talk, and to-day it can be told that Ernest Roeber is the man who will profess to manage Dwyer in his attempt to force Harvey Parker into a match or to prove him a buffer. If the people who consider Harvey Parker a world beater will stop to think for a moment they will see that Parker has not done any extraordinary work on the wres- ting mat Two years ago he defeated Dwyer in Brockton after over an hours wrestling. Since that time Dwyer has been after him and finally cornered him where he could not es- cape It took Parker two hours and forty minutes to defeat George Both ner in this city, and then he had to hurt him to do it. Since then he failed to throw Bothner once in one hour, al- though he agreed to throw him twice. What other good men has Parker beaten? Then again. Parker a few weeks ago failed to throw Mort Hen derson of Rochester, and yet Dan Me Leod went to Rochester the other night and threw him five times in one hour. Again, Peter Schumacker, of the west, threw Parker some time ago twice in less than fifteen minutes, and yet Dwyer has two victories to his credit against Schumacher These are cold facts from which you cannot get away, and that is the reason that Par ker is not anxious to make a return match with Dwyer. However, it is money that talks, and if there is any of 1t floating around on Parker let it float around Dwyer's way and it will soon be taken up.
 John E. Kelly is after Swanson red hot and he has sent him word that if he means business now is the time to talk up and say so. If Swanson wants to get on match for $1O0 q side and let the winner take everything all lie has to do is to get down to 13S pounds, weigh in at the ringside, and Kelly will accommodate him. Billy Lee. Swanson's manager. has been com municated with and an answer is awaited.
 Billy O'Brien, who has Bob Becker clever l24-pounder under his wing, wants to arrange match with Young l fan afn ;e,< the best man at the featherweight limit and OBrien thinks that Becker can de- feat him.
 | Charley Whitman, the Cincinnati Greco-Roman wrestler, has decided to visit New York and will leave Cincin- natl for that city early in the year l Wittmar wants to meet the winner of the contest between Nehmet Nechard the Turk, and John Fleming, the Butcher Boy,' which is to take place tomorrow night at the Grand Central palace. If the match is clinched the affair will be at Graeco- Roman style and Whitman is ready to bet $1 ,0OO on the outside that he will win.
 John Piening, the Butcher Boy,'' who is matched to meet Neh1net Nached has adopted novel methods in getting into trim for the fray. Piening, who works at his trade as butcher when he is not wrestling, visits the slaughter house every day and finds plenty of exercise in killing cattle. Fleming says that it is good exercise and keeps his muscle in trim. The winner of the bout, which is limited to two hours, will be matched against either Tom Jenkins or Carl Norbeck of Norway The latter is fast recovering the use of his arm, which was threatened with blood poisoning q few weks ago, and which compelled him to call off his match with the Turk.
 While in New fork Billy Madden in- tends to bring about a wrestling contest between Gus Ruhlin and Jim Jeffries. catch-as-catch-can style, the same to be held in New York III speaking about the proposed match Madden said yes terday: "A contest on the mat between the two would undoubtedly draw q crowded house. Ruhlin has already showed the public that he knows a thing or two about the game by defeat ling Bob Fitzsfmons at Madison Square garden. Jeffries is no novice and is said to be clever at his style wrestling He has had q lot of experience and I often wrestles while training. AS soon I as Jetfries reaches New York l am going to have talk with him to see what I con do about bringing the two Itogether".
