\ GOTCH AND JENKINS.

Frank Gotch, America's champion catch-as-catch-can wrestler. who is to meet Tom Jenkins in a championship contest tomorrow night at Madison Square Garden, will arrive in New New York this morning: Gotch origin ally intended to finish training for the match in New York, but changed his mind and stuck to the Buffalo gym nasium until last night. '
 GOtch and Jenkins will meet this af- terno0n to decide upon the question of a referee. The champion insists upon Buffalo man acting and mentions, among others, Eddie Mcbride, who is the official of the International 4. C.. at Fort Erie, and Walter Kelly, who is now sporting editor of paper in Cleveland. Jenkins IS just as deter mined to have New Yorker and will suggest George Bothner, Hughey Leon- ard or Tim Hurst.
 Interest ill this match is at fever heat. Not since Yousof, the first of the great Turks, was here, has wrest> ling awakened so much interest among the sport-loving public. Jenkins, de- spite the fact that Gotch won his cham plOuSulp uOlOTS lIOu tuc SlcNcldllutI, is likely to be favorite at the ring side. He is in splendid shape and has been working like a horse at Thomp- sons gymnasium during the past week. Experts declare that Big Tom' is bet. ter to-day than he ever was. and the colony of wrestlers in New York win back him almost to man.
 The sale of seats opened yesterday morning at Madison Square Garden The demand is very large, and nota- ble feature of the night promises to be n large attendance of the fair sex. Numerous orders for seats and boxes have been accompanied by the request to place them where it will be most suitable for ladies to sit. This is fall ing in line with the latest fad in Lon- don, where wrestling has been a soci- ety craze for the past year and a half.
 An exhibition of jiu-jitsu is to be a feature of the night. Prof HakOiwa will wrestle with FukuOka, another well known exponent of this wonderful Japanese art.

GARDNER WENT OUT.

Boston, March 14.-Billy Gardner Of Lowell lasted less than two rounds with Larry Connolly, local light weight, at the Middlesex A. C. last night.

When he got up Connolly put his right to the same place, and Billy went down again. Paddy Monahan, Gard ner's manager, then threw up towel. It was the first show since the police closed the game two months ago.

ELBERFELD STILL ABSENT.

What is the matter with Shortstop Norman Elberfeld of the New York Americans? In spite of telegrams ana letters sent to him by Clark Gifiith. he has not even hinted when he will be ready to sign contract and play ball. Elberfeld has received an offer of about S3.5OO for the seasons work with the Americans. but his backwardness in accepting is creating the belief that he thinks his services are worth more money. ln these days of enforced base ball peace. ball tossers should grab liberal salaries. for some of these days the magnates will get together and put the old s2.4O0 salary limit into effect again.

 BALL TALK
Billy Sunday Was q Fast Sprinter er-Pitcher Putt. mann Injured-Statisties of Cleveland.

William A. c'Billy'J Sunday, the evangelist, was one of the most fam ous ball players in the game when he played with the Chicago club in the sos under Pop Anson on the same team with Mike Kelly, Fred Pfeffer, Ed Williams, Tom Burns, George Gore, and other great players. It is said he became converted while on a spree in Chicago. He retired from baseball to become a Presbyterian minister and took up !. ... -. -A. work.
 ''Who was the fastest man that ever wore spiked shoes on a ball field ?' was a question recently put to an old time ball player. Without hesitation he answered, Billy Sunday. The lit tie evangelist had 'em all beaten. remember the first race between the heetest of. foot in the Chicago Nation al and St Louis American teams. 7The Browns pinned their faith and money on Arlie Latham and Uncle Anson groomed Sunday. Bill got off like a streak of greased lightning, and he ran away from Lath as if somebody had tied knots in the clowns legs. Sunday, to my way of thinking, had everybody of his day beaten, and don't know of any faster in uniform at the present time.'
 a ''The time will neverf come" said Sunday recently, ''when will lose my interest in baseball. First of all love the game: secondly. it was through baseball that I gained large circle of loyal friends who have always been with me in spirit: thirdly, because il is clean sport. free from jockeying and crooked work. The ball players of to-day are an improvement on those of twelve years ago. They have learn ed that the ''booze fighter" is soon "all in" and public opinion will not stand for him. During my work as ar evangelist I have received much en couragement in more ways than one from the ball players

The match between Dan Pickett and

Manager Bergen admits he was not on time to post his forfeit 2fOrothe $25 side bet yesterday morning, but he still insists on the 1S-foot mat and he claims that the terms of the Simons- vile Athletic club were accepted on that one condition, that the mat should be IS feet. As it is impossible to get that size mat ill there. therefore the match still hangs fire. It is possi- ble both sides will get together to-day and make some definite arrangements.

BONUS FOR JEFFRIES.

Champion Jim Jeffrfes is to be of fered a bonus of s1O.OOO to cast aside race prejudice and fight Jack Johnson, the Black Giant" of the Pacific Coast. if the plan of Thomas Ryan sport ing man of Oshkosh. Wis, goes through. Ryan is willing to start q fund with $100. which he thinks the sporting men of America wonld soon increase to S10OO. to bring about a match between Jeffries and Johnson. He figures that some club wouh offer a purse of at least $25-OO0. and this. together with the S1OOW would net Jenries about S3O.OO for one battle. Ryan wants to raise this fund because he thinks Johnson is recognized as the best of the heavyweights- barring the champion. and wants Je6ries to dem onstrate that he is the champion of the wueld beyuad . ae1be

O'BRIEN AFTER JACKSON.

Baltimore, Marh 14.-Philadelphia Jack O'Brien sent $1OO check to the home city of the dusky Young Peter Jackson for an encounter, to display the manly art of self.defense, financial ly and physically.
 As soon as Secretary Maurice Her ford, of Brother AIS Eureka Athletic club, heard of it he talked so fast that he almost burned the telephone wires to say that he was ready to cover the forfeit.
 Ill his alleged letter. dated Philadel. phia, March 9, Mir O'Brien says in part:
 "Yes, Mir HerfOrd, it is true that want to meet Ryan, FftZsimmOns or any other man ill the world, but I do not wish to do such for naught, and have repeatedly stated that if you or any other man offered me enough 1 would just as soon box Jackson as any one else. }f
 Your offers have not been such as to attract me. but if you make any so, will meet Jackson in ten days time. To show how earnest 1 am in my de- sire I herewith inclose $1O0 as for felt to meet Jackson, either in Balti- more or anywhere in the country.
 "All I ask is that if the meeting is in Baltimore shall be allowed the se- lection of Baltimore referee. that the ring be regulation size. that 'five-ounce gloves shall be used. and that the re- vised Marquis of Queensberry rules shall govern-'break clean from clinches.'
 Trust the above will meet with Mir Herford's approval, and that I shall be given chance to even old scores, remain. respectfully,
 JACK O'BRIEN."
 Secretary Maurice Herford said he was ready to agree to everything to get on match with O'Brien for Jackson. but that he wanted the purse split 13 and 25. and that as Jackson had done no fighting this year he would require about two weeks to get himself into good shape.

STORM ON PACIFIC.
Los Angeles Bridge Swept Away With Fifteen Persons.
FLOOD CONDITIONS WORST KNOWN
Santa Monica Piers Destroyed-Long Beach Damnged-Trains on Many Roads Tied Up-Only One
 Wire Working.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. March 14.- The Seventh street bridge over the Los Angeles river collapsed last night, car rying with it into the flood swelled .riv- CT twelve to fifteen )pfrspns, .tYe of whom are believed to have been drowned.
 Two unknown men went down with the bridge, and their bodies are thought to have been carried down the river. Mrs. Clara Webb of 216 East Seventh street was rescued from the flood, but was probably fatally hurt by falling timbers.
 The high water in the river had at- tracted a number of sightseers to the bridge. The buttresses of the bridge had been VI eakened by the flood, and when a sudden swelling of the waters came the supports were carried away and the bridge collapsed. Clifford Lin .hal, who was on the bridge, said after be was rescued that two young men had stood beside him just before the bridge fell. He looked for the men afterward, but could see nothing of hem.
 The Ninth street bridge is on the point of giving way. and police are on guard to keep any persons from going upon the structure.
 Flood conditions in Los Angeles and vicinity are the worst known in many years. Los Angeles river, flooded by tributaries from the mountains and from the high country, where heavy foods have occurred, is bank full and 1as reached the highest point known In thirteen years. Much loss has been sustained by the city from damaged streets, broken storm drains and sewers. a, s.sa--.a. -.t
 Along the coast various other towns have suffered. At Santa Monica two piers were destroyed. and the damage along the shore there is estimated at s2OO.OOO.' At Long Beach the damage to the wharf and to small boats is esti- mated at $20.0OO.
 Trains into Los Angeles on the Soufh- ern Pacific and the Santa Fe are stalled by washouts. Telegraph and telephone lines have been blown down by a high wind The Western Union has one wire to Chicago. and all commun:ca- lion between Los Angeles and the out sjde world is carried on over this wirA

A TOUT ROUTED.

Philadelphia, March 14.-At the Washington Sporting club last night Harry Lewis of this city had all the better of the six-rOund wind-up with Al Herford's much-touted lightweight. Kid Sullivan of Washington. Joe Gans's sparring partner was never in the hunt. and at the end Lewis was clearly entitled to the decision. Suln, van was the more aggressive, but the clever footwork and jabbing of Lewis prevented any effectiveness on his part. Lewis used his left hand with good execution, and after drawing the blood from the Kids nose in the second round, kept it running until the finish. Sullivan tried hard to get in an effec- tive punch. but Lewis kept away till the end and did not bear a single mark of the encounter.
