 George Bothner said yesterday that all details for his match with Harvey Parker for the lightweight title have been perfected and that the. bout will take place in Madison square garden next month. The contest will be to a finish and Parker has agreed to weigh ill at 1855 pounds, weight which his friends thought he could not make. Be- fore this bout Bothner will wrestle Max Luttbeg of St Louis at Scranton. Luttbeg has contended all along that he is Bothner's master and he now will have chance to prove his assertion.
 Gus Ruhlin's match with Gus San ders of Sweden will be decided on May 4 instead of May 5. The change of date was made at the solicitation of the club under whose auspices the bout is to be held. The men are to wrestle best two in three falls in Prospect hall, Brook lyn.

SESSIONS LAST DAYS
Much Business Yet Before
 New York Legislature.
LIVELY TIMES IN ANTICIPATION.
Appropriation Bills Not Yet Report ed - Many Important Measures Pending, and spirited Com
 tests Are Certain.

ALBANY, N. Y., April 20.-Only a very wise man would undertake to prophecy in detail the doings of the last week of the state legislature, which opens tonight upon a combina- ton of circumstances out of which urr expected results might emerge. There is no present reason to doubt that ad- journment will take place according to the official programme on Thursday, April 28, or with the clock turned back on Friday, but the four legislative days ensuing between now and then have the prospecs of being full to overflow ing with both work and controversy. The developments of Thursday and Friday in the senate over the confirma- ton of the governors appointments of railroad commissioner and superintend- ent of elections imply the possibility of tense situations which may push actual legislation into long sessions and late hours.
 The most direct interest of both houses centers upon the appropriation bills. The supply bill is expected from the senate finance committee tonight. A conference committee will be ap- pointed as usual to compromise with the assembly over, the items upon which the two houses may differ. The appropriation bills will probably be acted upon tomorrow and, with the spe- cial appropriation bills, will probably be in the governors hands by Wednes- day, so that he may then send for the various interested members for confer ence and explanation. Governor Odell has announced in unmistakable terms that there will be no direct. tax for state purposes while he is governor, and it is certain that he will cut the appropriation bills to suit the cloth of the money in hand or actually in sight. The only direct state tax which will be imposed this year for state purposes will be that required by the state con- stitution, irteen-hundredths mills, for the interest upon the canal debt.
 The effect of the governors determi- nation upon the still pending mortgage tax proposition cannot be stated.
 The water storage commission bill of Senator Lewis, over which there has been much controversy and criti- cism, having passed the senate, will come up for action in the assembly and is expected to pass. It is understood that all of the so called ''grab" street railroad bills have been abandoned.
 The New York city police force in crease bill, amended so as to include the three platoon system, is now in the hands of Mayor Low. 1t is under stood that 1t will be returned with his l veto, and the vote upon the measure indicates there will not be sufficient votes to pass 1t over his veto. In case it is so passed, however, the attitude of Governor Odell in recognizing the wish of the city authorities is be- lieved to indicate that he would not approve it in the face of the mayors opposition.
 A number of important measures are still pending and promise some spirited contests. ls

Results of Games Played Satur-
 day and Sunday.

He Will First Try a Battle With | Young Mowatt-Casper Leon Almost kvrPuts Danny Dougherty to Sleep Stone Whips Kid Griffo.
 Boston. April 2O.-"Jig'' Stone of this city defeated "Kid'' Griffo of Phil adelphia in thirteen-round bout at the Tammany A. c. Saturday night. I The pair have met twice before and each secured a decision. During the early rounds Griffo did the bulk of the work and landed frequently with his left. In the last three rounds Stone braced and forced the fighting, putting it all over his opponent. Referee Kel- ley decided that Stone had the better of it.
 After an absence of several months Casper Leon returned to the ring last Friday night. He met Danny Dough- erty of Philadelphia before the Ariel A. C., Philadelphia, for six, rounds. l Leon looked a sure winner ir the open ing round. He caught Doherty right swing on the jaw and knocked him down. It looked all over. Dougherty was floored again and on rising he clinehed to save himself. He then held on until the gong sounded In, the next two rounds Dougherty pulled him. self togetherandgave Leon stiff gruel- ling. Leon was tired, and in the fifth round was hanging on. The final round was fast, but Leon's blows were weak. There was no decision.
 Terry McGoyern expects to arrange fight with Young Mowatt of Chicago this week. Paddy Carroll of Chicago recently issued challenge on behalf of Mowatt, whom he manages. Tester day Sam Harris, McGovern's manager, accepted the challenge and informed Carroll by telegraph that Terry would fight Mowatt in May before the Inter- national A. O., Fort Erie, if that club would give purse. An answer is ex- pected by Tuesday, If this match falls through McGovern may take trip to England and see what he can do in the way of matches there. The fact that he was the first pugilist to put their favorite, "Pedlar" Palmer, into dreamland would make Terry a draw ing card in the tight little isle.
 Worcester, Mass, April .2O.-Eugene Riordan of New Haven was knocked out in round and a half in Sunday prize fight yesterday by Charles Nc Nally of Providence. The fight was in a barn not far from Worcester and was 1 planned with great secrecy.
