NO ACHIEVEMENT YET.

Frank Gotch. the wrestling cham pion, and Tom Jenkins, the Ohio Her cules, from whom Gotch won the title last year, have not yet come to terms over their proposed match. Jenkins says he is perfectly willing to Wrestle the present champion for $1, ,0OO. a side sahd' sttea efftire purse offered for, the match, but Tom insists on the con test taking place,in CleVeland.
 To this Gotch objects, claiming that owing to Jenkins great popularity in his home town, he (G0tchl could not get a fair deal there. There is no city in America where the lovers of sport are any more fair-minded or better to strangers than Cleveland, and it is unfair tos insinuate that fair treatment would not be accorded Gotch or any heHsstranger. ss-sg
 The best way out of the difficulty would be for Gotch and Jenkins to agree to wrestle in the city from which the best financial offer comes. A match between Gotch and Jenkins with both men in first class trim, would be rare treat for the sporting pTIblics and as a drawing card would be- 8 record breaker. It is to be hoped that the match will be made, for there are thousands of persons eager to find out which of the two men is really the champion.
 Gotch holds the title. and he is cer- ttainly wonderful wrestler, but Jenkins and his friends claim that he was not fairly beaten by Gotch. Only second meeting between the pair will determine the question. Conse- quently we are desirous of seeing the nen&get together. As both men are out for the money, they would be fool ish to let a big opportunity like tfis slip by.

 Accompanied by her friend, Miss H Murray, they reached the city shortly before the governor arrived. The young ladies came direct from Tarry. town, N. r., where they are attending school. The entire party is staying al the Hotel Bellevue Stratford. The gov. ernor received a cordial welcome as he and his party entered the stand erected at the ships bow. An orchestra struck up Dixie" which was the cause ot much enthusiasm.
 A large party of Washington officials attended the launching ceremonies. After the great vessel left the ways the Cramp company entertained about 600 of its guests at luncheon.
 The cruiser was gay with flags and streamers as it glided into the water.
 The Tennessee is a new type of high class, heavy fighting cruiser of 14,500 tons displacement and one of the most formidable vessels of her class ever constructed. Ip all but few details the Tennessee is sister ship to the Colorado and the Pennsylvania. The contract price for the hull and ma chinerY is S4.OOOOOO.

THE PUGILISTS.
JOE GRIM
 STILL AT IT
Jack Blackburn Tried to Knock Him Out But Fail- ed-hOre Talk About Ryan and Root.

Joe Grim, the Italian with the. iron jaw, fought Jack Blackburn, the clever, negro lightweight, at Philadelphia on Thursday night last for six rounds. IL was the same old story. Blackburn gave Grim a severe brat:ng but was unab,c to iut him to Slt Ct. As usual, Grim took lot of punishment. With out this a boxing contest In SKIlch Grim was concerned would not De 1n- teresting But Grim was not alWays the receiver general He did consider able fighting on his own hook. GI1iA went after Blackburn like an HI hfI- ated cat in the first round. He never gaye the coIored man a second ana, chased him around the ring .WltLL III .5tLl 5tll sorts of punches. Grim was equally as active in the second round, but he lost q lot of steam before the round
 From. the third round on Grim had an he could do to protect hinasetI. Blackburn laced the Italian unmercl- friiy. He landed swings, uppefcuts, iabs counters and hooks contt4uaiiy Grim was forced to the ropes, stag. qered and hustled about like human football But like Oliver Twist, ne came back for more. In the. hfth round .4Grim's face was slgnI. ne blood streamed down his cheek from an ugly cut under the right eye. Ills lips were puffed up to twice thelr nor sGc nal size and his face was dotted Wlln lIlnps and bruises. Grim took all that was coming to him in the sixth. He accidentally hit Blackburn low and the negro renewed his. efforts to stop Grim He succeeded in making the latter tired. but failed to knock him otr his pins.

BURNS AND NPARR.

The sporting public is clamoring for that promised return match between Jim Parr and Farmer Burns. Their recent contest in Buffalo was a cork CT. While Parr won by close shave, the affair proved unsatisfactory to Burns, inasmuch as Parr, failed to weigh as agreed, at ITO pounds. Champion Gotch is now ready to back Burns, and Parr says he is ready, so that it is up to the promoters to get these clever men together. -"

ABoUp ROOT AND. RYAN.

Next Monday night at the Blue Is land A. e., near Chicago, Jack Root IS slated to meet John Willie, the heavy weight who made Jack OBrien mug repeatedly in their recent bout at Phii- aaeiphia. They are down for ten rounds. This announcement is most fv made to demonstrate how tickle 4natchmakeEs are. It is not so long ago since the critics were condemnng Root for his suspicious affair @ with Tommy Ryan. After this contest ey-. erybody said that no club would deign to give either Ryan or Root an Oppor- funity to fight again in hurry. Root was introduced at the last show of the Chicago club and was roundly hissed. The fighter lnade a speech to the crowd and said that he was not who'll lv9f@ liahtc for flse eutcoIna of q 6lEei conbat lie stoutly declareda that his intentions were honest; that he meant to win if he could, and that he. was very sorry that the whole thing had occurred. Roots speech was not very reassurins. aid 1sthe scrap is likely to attract but a. small crowd. If it does, it will show that fistic followers have not forgiven Root, and that he must do more than make promises to ingra- S4iate 4lilpself again with those who help support prize fighting by attend ing bouts in which he is one of tie principals. 1.. - .'1s's
 Somehow, Ryan is held more culpa-. ble for the unfortunate termination of their fight than Root. This Is only natural, because Ryan is q champion. and was expected to whip Root han diIy.h But it takes two to make bar gain < If the mill was fake, Root must have been a party to it.. Ryan says that he did not divide g, 300 with Root. All he says he got was half of S1 600 Even at that he was. well paid for his services. The only gWaya both Root and Ryas have to square them selves with the public would be to re store the money they received to the club and fight the battle all over agaln. This being. done, they could meet and show their good faith. A mill under these conditions would draw a big house because the. sporrs would be convineed that their efforts would be genuine.

The
 Hurricane struck back
 The two men were soon hammering each other all over the stage. They kept it up until two plain clothes po- licenien who were in the theater jumped on the stage and separated them.

K1BosH ON GRAECo-RoMAN.

Yankee Rogers resents the insinua- tion that he quit or showed yellow in his recent contest with Goteh. Tn fact, he declares that he would surely have beaten Gotch at Graeco-R Roman had he not fallen from the platform. He says he will seek another match with Gotch- later on. Another mixed match between this pair would not draw flies: for people are good and sick of Graeco-Roman. as wrestIed in Buffalo between this pair last Friday night. There was no wrestling about it. The men did nothing but maui and claw each other all over the mat. No scientific holds were used, and, al, together, that eco-Reman bodtzwas dull and uninteresting, and had a ten dency to disgust spectators and hurt the game generally.

ELECTING CAPTAINS OF
 ~ss. THE COLLEGE TEAMS

Cambridge, Dec 3.-The Harvard football eleven and the ,ssunsitures who won their ''H's'' in the Pennsyl- vania COT Yale games, put tradition aside last night and reelected DanIel J. Hurley, '05, of ,Charleston, Mass, captain of the Harvard football team for 19O5 Hurley will enter the medi- cal school in the fall. The Harvard athletic committee will have to ratify the choice of the men before it Is val i'd, but no interference is expected on the part of this body, as Hurley had no opposition in last nights election. Furthermore the undergraduates are unanimously for him.
 It has been the custom for some years at Harvard not to elect man captain of a varsity team who when acting will be in a graduate depart ment. In the fall of 1903, when Carl Marshall was elected football captain, Peter Bowditch would undoubtedly have been the choice had the men not been told that he could not accept the position on account of being in fsftlle law school But there are also prece- dents the other way. Joe Wlgg1n was elected captain of the baseball nine for 1898 when he was in the law school, and in the spring of 1900 Char lie Sheafe, 2 another law school, man, was elected crew captain, though he. later resigned on account of the pres sure of work.
 Hurley, who was reelected captain last night, played right halfback on the '05 freshman eleven, and the fol lowing, fall was a varsity substitute. For the past two years he has been regular right halfback He was the unanimous choice for the captaincy last fall; and his playing this fall mas won him the respect of every Har- yard man. He showed by his fight, dash, fearlessness and spirit Gfns the. Yale game last month that helhas the qualifications to lead the team again. Hurley is p years old, weighs 165 pounds and is 5 feet 9 inches tall. Af- ter the meeting Coach Wrightington talked over, the Yale game with the men. 5a2a gss
