SPORTS AND 

k A new indoor sport for the winter,
 which, 1t Is claimed, far exceeds in in- terest and excitement any of the games played at present. is being introduced ito lovers of indoor athletics. It is the game of push ball on roller skates.
 While comparatively new in the west the game as played according to the rules on level field in the opening, has prospered in England and in some of the eastern colleges The game has been played in the open usually between the halves of football contest and also on horseback, but no one has ever at- tempted the sport or roller skates, The innovation is entirely the invention of a St. Louis man. and should produce as much excitement and at the same time be as fair contest of the strength of two clubs as any football or hockey match. The art of push ball depends on the skill of the skater and the strength of the teams. The regulation push ball, which is used, is six feet in

BoTHNER THROWS NELSON.

George Bothner, the champion light weight wrestler, is meeting all corners this week at the London theater, and yesterday he took a swift fall out of Sailor" Nelson in minutes and 42 seconds.
 Nelson was champion of the navy, and intends to make his. living on the mat. He is stronger than Bothner and had the latter doubled up twice with the hammer lock, but Bonner's quick ness and superior knowledge of the game prevented him from following up his advantage.
 The bout followed the usual vaude- vile performance at the theater, and the women in the audience enjoyed the wrestling fully as much if not more than the men. To-day Bothner will meet Harry Tyrrel of Yonkers. Both ner offers forfeit of $1O0 to any one who will defeat him.

M'GOvERN AND ATTELL.

A fight between Terry McGovern and Abe Attell now seems a strong proba. bility. Sam Harris, who is in Phila- delphia with the Little Johnny Jones' company, sent word to Billy Day, who is Abe's manager, that he and Joe Humphreys would arrange a match for twenty-five rounds with the Terrible in the event of not being able to date up with Battling Nelson.
 That suits us fine" said Day last night, ''and we are willing to give our attention to McGovern as soon as we return from England. Harris says he will bet $10.000. Well, that suits us also. Abe is going to lick this fellow in England-that's cinch: and when he gets back home he will give his time to all of the little fellows in his class who have enough standing to in terest him."
 It is probable that if AttelI wins in England he will fight Nelson. In the however, the Battler may have settled things with Terry. and if the latter proves that he has returned to the extent of disposlng of the Dane, a fight between Abe will be the great est battle of little fellows since the engagement.
