WRESTLING.
JOE LAWLOR
 A TRUE SPORT
Publicly Announces Kelly is Injured and May Not WreStle Bothner or Cuban Wonder.

sporting Editor of Democrat:
 Slr l desire to announce publicly that the chances are against Kelly being able to wrestle Cnako to-mor- row night, and I am doing so in this manner because 1 do not wish to have the public deceived or fooled ill any way. Kelly has been training very hard for this match and last night while working with his partner he was injured. I immediately had him ex- amined by Drs Poore and Galley, both of whom agreed in saying that one of kelly's ribs was badly injured. They informed me that Kelly could wrestle, but he would undoubtedly be defeated because 1t was not possible for any hulEan being to stand the suffering wnich he would have to undergo ill his present condition. Kelly could go and the public would be none the and am not in that business
 Consequently, I have arranged with Charley White of New York city to. be present on Thursday night at the City hall with either ''The Cuban Wonder" or George Bothner, for the purpose of wrestling Cnaki either straight match or 8 handicap affair. Dick Howell of Bridgeport has agreed to this because he believes he has a world beater in Cnaki. Therefore, if Kelly is not in shape to go on there will be an excellent contest neyerthe- Jess, and make this public statement that if at it's termination any spectator is not satisfied with the contests shal! gladly refund his money to him when he leaves the hall.
 The Simonsville Athletic club is over $2O0 in the hole up to the present time and this match will undoubtedly swell the deficit, but would rather have it lhls way than skin the public. So it is needless for me to add that every match on Thursday night will be on the level.
