May Be the Last Tournament of the Season-About Other
 Grapplers.

Manager Joe Lawlor completed last night arrangements for the last wrestling tournament that he will hold this season in all probability. He has matched Frank Speh of Der by and Dan Pickett of this city for the final contest and besides that he will give two preliminaries which will be contested for side bets. ,mak- ing three star bouts in all. A match between Pickett and Speh ought to be hummer from the start. Both are aggressive wrestlers and will be backed to the limit by their friends. Pickett jumped at the challenge pub lished yesterday by Speh and if he had not done so Jack Roach would have been after the scalp of the Derbyite. It will be pulled of in all probability next Thursday night.

HOW THEY LIKE SUTTON.

The following is from the same paper: ->ll
 "It's not often a goal tender holds two records in different leagues in the same season, but Sutton of the Youngstown team bids fair to w!u such this season.
 Before joining the local team Sutton was with the Fort Wayne team of the Central league. .n a game with Danville, Sutton was Kept busy looking after 76 stors, Dan ville bombarding him throughout the game, the ball being in Fort Wayne territory practically all the time. Fort Wayne lost the game 6 to 2. The record stood throughout the Central league season.
 "Last evening at the Auditorium rink Sutton recorded 70 stops iI the game with Warren. The game was an overtime affair of 13 minutes and 45 seconds, but this time Sutton happened to be on the winning side. the locals getting away with the game { to 8. Sutton's work was the best ever seen in this c,ty. The three drives that got past him were all hard drives which no goal tender would have stopped.
 Sutton is the huskiest goa' ten- der in the league, absolutely fearless and isn't afraid to mix it uD with anyone at any time"
 Sutton's work at goal has never been excelled on the local floor. He was in the game all the time.

GoTCH ISSUES CHALLENGE.

Frank A. Gotch who has never been satisfied with the result of his wrest- ling match with Tom Jenkins in Mad ison Square Garden is out with chal- lenge to the big grappler. In a letter Gotch in substance says ''I notice that Tom Jenkins has emerged from re- tirement and despite the fact that he knows I have consistently accepted offers from clubs throughout the coun- try for a match with him, he issues a statement seeking to convey the i'm pression that he is isolated Ky lis
 Jenkins may want challenge. We'll. here's one for him and it is as simple and straightforward as I eau make it:
 T challenge Tom Jenkins to wrestle me for the American championship, straight catch as catch can match. The referee to be mutually agreed up on or his selection left to commit. tee of six sporting authorities, such men as Bat Masterson, Parson Dav- ies, Al Smith, etc, bids to be invited from prominent clubs of the country; match to be before the club offering best inducement in matter of guaran- tee and percentage. No matter what city may make such offer match to be for S1,000 side, if Jenkins wishes: money to be posted with stakeholder of established reputation before the public, and, if agreeable, public to he assured of genuine nature of bet by agreement for winner to devote a certain percentage to some public charity"

TO CATCH WOMEN GAMBLERS.

Gaming in Kerosha Parks May Result

Quite a deal of excitement was
caused in Kenosha recently when 1t
became known that the officials of the
new Civic federation of the city had
secured the names of women who had
been gambling at certain pleasure
parks about the city last Sunday, and
it was announced that these. women
would be summoned into court to give
evidence against the gamblers. Off
Gals Of the federation claim that gam
bling is prevalent among the men of
the city, and that last Sunday crowd
of them stood about a gambling device
and lost large sums of money. The
women alleged to have been seen gam
bling are members of we'll known fam.
lilies, and it is claimed that strong in.
fiuence will be brought to bear in an
effort to prevent their being forced to
come into court It is thought that
the women witnesses will be used as
a whip to force the closing up Of all
sorts of gambling in the city and
county.
