Jack Roach Is Hot After Either Jesse
 Foley or Jack Harvey.

Foley or Jack Harvey.
 Things were rather hot around the desk Of the sporting editor this morn ing and the air sized for the few min utes that q couple of local wrestlers were around. And they had the ar- ticle that talks, too, for they produced a wad of bills that made the office eat jump through the window The cause of it all was John E.. Kelly and Jack Roach, who are after the scalps of two other wrestlers by the names of Jesse Foley and Jack Harvey. In the first place Kelly planked down $25 as 3 forfeit for q match for $1OO a side. This money is to back Jack Roach against either Jesse Foley or Jack Harvey. Roach agrees to weigh l2S pounds at the ringside and the winner must take everything. He does not care, he says, which one of them comes to time, and if they mean business here is their chance. They have remarked that Roach could not get down to 128 pounds; we'll, if he cannot, he will forfeit, so he says. He wants the match and the sooner the better. and if eitheruF oleys ot Harvey wants to see his money let4thema cover his forfeit. v Both Kelly ranPs Roach were hot and 1t is now up to Foley and Harvey.
 Emil Silva, the Patterson Giant" who survived three hours against Harvey Parker about a year ago, and which affair was called draw, wants to arrange match with any of the heavyweights. Silva says that he pre- fers a match with Parker at either Graeco-Roman or catch as catch can style.
 l Bills are posted in Fitchburg an- nouncing straight catch as catch can wrestling match, best two in three falls, between Harvey Parker of Wor- cester and Charles Rogers of Fitch burg. sThe match is to take place at the Whitney opera house Tuesday night, July %, at S:15 o'clock The match will be wrestled under Police Gazette rules, and is to a finish, for $1O0 side and 75 and 25 per cent of the box office receipts.
 Dan Mcleod. the Buffalo wrestler. whose last contest with Tom Jenkins resulted in his defeat, has received an inducement to go to San Francisco and meet Young Whistler, who is said to be.a relative of Clarence Whistler. If Mcleod fails to get on anything in l Frisco he may visit Australia where the wrestling game is enjoying a boom just now. Mcleod wishes to meet Jenkins again, but says that if they come together once more the affair will have to be a handicap as Jenkins will have the advantage in weight.
 A wrestling match, Graeco- Roman style, for the female championship ot Scotland was decided at Glasgow The other night. Besides an outside wager of $500, a purse of $500 hinged on the result. The contestants were Miss Annie Bramford of Glasgow and Miss Mora Saunders of Dublin. Nearly 5000 persons attended. Miss Saun. ders. won the battle, taking the first and third falls. The pair struggled for forty minutes ard forty seconds for the final fall before Miss Saunders succeeded in securing a double shoul der roll and press down.
 George Bothner is at present con fined to his home in New York, suffer. ing from an infiamed kneecap, the re suit of a wrestling bout in private with one of his pupils. Some months
 ago several carbuncles broke out o1
 Bothner's body and he was compelled to have them lanced. About week
 ago another appeared on his left kne,
 and the friction against the mat caused
 the member to swell to twice its nat
 ural size. Bothner will not be able
 to do any training for some time tt
 come and consequently his proposed
 matches with Harvey Parker and JacI
 Harvey at Worcester the latter par of this month will have to be aban
 doned. Bothner says that he may b,
 all right to meet Parker and Harve.
 in September.
