WRESTLING. WHAT KILLS
 THE GAME
Jenkins Intimation to Quit Causes Talk-COtCh and Parr to Meet - George BOthner Was Beaten.

The retirement of Tom Jenkins from the mat to go into some other line of business is not taken seriously by the followers of this pastime. Crap piers, like fighters, retire spasm0di- caly. only to bob up again when the opportunity for match presents it. self. Jenkins has been threatening to abandon the game many times. but in the end he has appeared again. endeav- bring to glean all the stray sbekels to be had from the business. Jenkins is disappointed over his poor showing with Frank Gotch. who threw him without much trouble at Cleveland the other night. Evidently Jenkins is go- ing back a great deal, or else Gotch is one of the best catch-as catch-can ex- perts in the business.
 Out of three matches ill which Jen- kins has been one of the principals he was only successful once. and that was against the Algerian, Buzayell. at San Francisco.
 Before Jenkins met Buzayell tlra lat' ter was unheard of in this country. So this victory cannot be put down as q fine achievement. Jenkins says he has been forced to give up his profession because there is nothing in it for him any, more. that the public is tired of fake matches and that the best q vic tor in wrestling contest can secure nowadays is few hundred dollars. After expenses have been deducted he declares there is not much left for the winner. This is true in d way. but there is no one to blame for the state of affairs but the wrestlers themselves. n .e-
 The sport was enjoying a decided boom until series of the most brazen fakes were foisted on the public. They came one after the other and so dis gusted the devOtees of this particular pastime that it will be some time be- fore the public recoyers from the jolt.
