 Dwyer and Has Posted a Forfeit.
 Charley Wittmer will put in his last heavy days training to-day and from now until Tuesday night will do only the lightest kind of work for the con- test with Professor Dwyer. Witt past three months with scarcely let up of any kind and he fears that he is likely to get drawn too fine if he keeps on at the rate he has been going. The big fellow is now nearer the 200 pound mark than he has been for years and feels that there is danger of going stale if he reduces any more. He be- lieves that in wrestling a man must have much more extra weight on him than in a glove contest, owing to the extra strain and the long struggle without the rests incidental to q box ing match.
 Dwyer arrived from New Haven this afternoon and said that he was satis- fled with the seating arrangements and other details as prepared by George Tuohey, who is looking after Wittmer's interests. He is in grand shape, he says, and will go on the mat few pounds heavier than when he last tackled the Graeco-Roman cham pion.
 Dwyer is well pleased with the pros poets of adding another victory to his long list, and believes that he will du- plicate his win over Wittmer, even under the conditions of Tuesday nights contest.
 ,'I have nothing to fear from anoth- CT match With Wittmer," he said. If l did 1 would never have consented to meet him again. l have been working with some of the biggest men at Yale and l know from the way I can han Gle them that l can at least hold my own with him, except at Graeco-Ro- man style"
 The sale of seats is on at Towle's sporting goods store on Center street house are very bright The seating arrangements are such that every move of the men can be seen from any pdlL Cl luC uUuSOs
 Buffalo, April 5.--Jim Parr, the Eng fish champion, failed to throw Ed Ath- erton five times within an hour in their handicap wrestling match at the Olympic A. c. in this city last night. Although Parr lost under. the condi- tions of the match, lie did succeed in gaining four straight falls over Atller- ton, winning the first i'll minutes 30 l seconds with a double Nelson hold, the second fall in 13 minutes 45 seconds i with a Nelson and crotch hold, the third fall in 19 minutes 30 seconds with leg hold around the body and a double Nelson.
 1 Parr won the fourth and last fall in 15 minutes and 15 seconds by picking Atherton up and throwing him to the floor with a thud, rendering him part l ly unconscious for an instant. After the fourth fall Parr had but three minutes in which to gain the final fall. i When time was called for the last fall Parr started after his man with a rush. Seven times during the re- maiDing three minutes Parr picked Atherton up and slammed him to the mat with thud The Englishman made frantic efforts to press his op- ponent's shoulders to the mat, but they proved futile and he lost.
 Paterson. April 5.--John Fleming, the Butcher Boy,'' added another victory to his long list by defeating Jack La. bash of Passaic at the Biiou theater i. here last night fn a Graeco-R Roman wrestling bout. The time was min utes 7 seconds.
 | George Bothner, wrestling instruc tor of the knickerbocker A. C., and lightweight champion of the world gave a spirited wrestling exhibition with William Brown of the Pastime A c. at stag given by the members ot St Peters C. L. A. in Brooklyn Wed. nesday night. Bothners clever tao tics with his heavier opponent earned much applause for him and the way he broke from some difficult holds was sight to see. He used the leg hold, which he is famous for, anG wound up by placing Brown on his back by q leg hold, which he secured on his opponents arms Teddy Sit lCI, luS I4cS6l yUuuS NIeSlIGG, WHO If to meet John Fleming next week wrestled for ten minutes with Franl Ryan of the Twentieth Century A. c Sitter, on account of his big advan tage in weight. did not force matters They gave good exhibition.
 John E. Kelly of this city does no intend to let Professor NJ. J. Dwyel get away from him if he can help i and to that end he has posted a for felt of S25 with the sporting editor O
 the Democrat in support of his chal
 lenge. This challenge is to the effec that Dwyer cannot throw him fiv, times ill one hour at Graeco-R Roman
 style of wrestling. Kelly says Il,
 means business and as Dwyer gener
 ally conducts his affairs in a business
 like manner there may be something
 come out of it. Dwyer has alread,
 intimated that he would agree to Kel
 ly's proposition provided the latte
 put up a $50 side bet and that a purs
 was guaranteed for the match. Per
 haps on next Tuesday night arrange
 ments can be made to have the mel
 wrestle for percentage of the gat
 receipts, but Dwyer says he want
 the purse and Kelly says he will wres flo him the winner fO take eyerythin Q
