WITH THE tWRESTLERS.
 Roach Insists on Foley or Harvey Coming to Time or Retire.
 Jack Roach is a very persistent fel- low when he gets walked up and just now he is fully awake and he wants the scalps of Jesse Foley or Jack Har- vey of New Haven. That $25 of his is still at the Democrat office in the hands of the sporting editor and if either one of them want any part of him all they will have to do is to cover the money. John E. Kelly is back of Roach and the terms that the Wash ington Hill lad offers are pretty good ones. Roach will take on Foley at 12S pounds or Harvey at 125 pounds at the ringside. Roach says that Har- yey made the statement at Forest park that if he, Roach, would get down to 125 pounds, he would tackle him. Roach has agreed to that weight and posted his money. In all probability Harvey or Foley will accept the offer and the match may be clinched in a few days.
 Harvey Parker is making Brockton
 
 within the past week there have been things doing in that locality. Tn the first place, some weeks ago a farmer looking chap appeared in Whitman, near Brockton, and took up with a job of driving an ice wagon He al- legged that he could wrestle a little bit and said his name was Joe Lawrence. A match was made between himself Q Io., renee won after a struggle John J. Little was present and he and Law renee had some words and the result was match between Little and Law renee. Little wanted to bet that Lawrence was not Lawrence but an other fellow and there the matter rest ed for a few days. Now it has de veloped that Lawrence is no other than Frank Coleman, the clever wrest- Ter from Chicago, who had been brought on and planted in Whitman There was some talk of Harvey Par ker being connected with the trick, but as Parker is training with Little some people say this could not be so. The match looks peculiar and perhaps Little has fallen into a trap and per haps he has not. Harvey Parker is, foxy fellow and good fellow at that when you get to know him. Parker failed to throw Sundstron on Friday night last although it looked like easy money. Parker is matched to meet Lundin and the latter must throw him twice in one hour. Per haps that match with Sundstron was lost for q purpose. Lundin now wants the match with Parker pulled off in private, but Parker objects. Lundin cannot throw Parker twice in one hour if Parker is i'll condition. It would not be strange at all if Lundin were to go to the mat himself.
 New York July 29.--George Bothner has recovered the use of his left knee cap, which he was compelled to have lanced few days ago as the result of a carbuncle. Rothner has already made plans for some matches on the mat for next fall George is figuring on meeting Harvey Parker at Wor- cester or at Buffalo. He has received 1 inviting offers from promoters to have lEthe matter decided there, but thinks that if the contest is held in this city | it will prove a good drawing card. Arthur Just the 142-pound wrestler, wants a match with Billy Lawrence of Brooklyn. Just says that he can find backing for any amount up to | $100.
 1 Dan Mcleod of Buffalo, who is con sidered the best catch-as-catch-can wrestler at his weight, is contemplat- ing a trip to England. Mcleod has found man who is ready to back him l against any of the men who do not scale more than ITO pounds. As soon as Mcleod gets to the other side he will issue challenges to Jack Carkeek, l George Gleadman and Jim Parr. 1 Tom Jenkins has mapped out num- l Der of engagements for next fall and winter and if nothing 2oes amiss he will be kept quite busy. Besides matches with George Burlinggame, I Charley Whitman and an ''unknown,' ,'' Jenkins will travel with a theatrical company and meet al corners. Jenkins says: ''I have received 1t on good au- thority that Jack Carkeek is coming to America to meet me. If that is tho l case he will find me ready. If the af- l fair is held at Cleveland am sure that we would draw an exceptionally large | house Carkeek is certainly a clever 1 fellow, but I am sure that will throw him."
 George Fischer, wrestling instructor of the Polo A. O.. says he is ready to meet any. good welterweight. Fischer l is a pupil of George Bothner.
 Fred Harvey, the theatrical pro- motor, who formerly piloted the affairs of Max Lurtbeg of St Louis, says that he has a new French wrestler whom he wishes to pit against any light weight in the business, not excepting Harvey Parker or George Bothner. i Harvey found his unknown last ] spring while in Montreal.
