.GSAPPLER P|ERR| HAS

Greek Has Given Up All Hope of
Arranging a Match With
Hackenschmidt.
Especial to The Times-Dispatch.)


LONDON, January 27.--Antonio Pierri.
having given up all hope of getting
Hackenschmidt on the mat with Ahmed
Madrali, has withdrawn the $1,000 he
has had on deposit for the last two
months. The Greek would willingly have
left his money down had there been. In
his opinion, the slightest chance OF
match between the Russian and the
Turk. Speaking about the business Pierri
said:--.It is now nearly two years since
Hackenschmidt promised faithfully to
give Madrali another match. Then he
went to Australia and would wrestla
when he returned. We waited patiently
till he came back only to have moro
obstacles placed in the way. Dates and
conditions were altered to suit Hacken-
schmidt who had his way in everything.
/ conceded every point raised-I repeat
every point-and here we are with ar
ticles signed last June and the match
as far off as ever, have been put to
n ivory great expense bringing over
Madrall and losing engagements owing
to the alteration of dates and other
arrangements and the only conclusion
can come to is the conclusion that
IIackenschmidt will never in his list
meet Madrali in the catch-aS-c atch-can
style. The pupiic am sure can take
but one view of the business which has
so far as Russia is representative is
concerned tSoeen unsatisfactory from
start to finish. If Hackenschmidt had
spoken out like a man and said, I have
no desire to wrestle Madralt he would
pense and shown the British public a
year ago what alls.must see now, that
he has no liking for second trial with
the Turk"

RUGBY PUSHBALL

ST. LOUIS, January T.-Rugby push

few weeks ago. has grown in popular
favor and gives promise OF becoming
an established sport In way 1t is
a substitute for rugby football. and it's
introduction has proven of great inter-
est.
The new game is merely adaptation of
the football rules with an enlarged ball
Every point of the Rugby game has

opposition. The distance to be gained
on downs, the falling back of one team
to receive the charge OF the opposition
when the enemy has -aileu to make
its yards, carrying the ball down the
field. and even scoring the goal feature
of the Rugby football sport has been
retained by elevating the ball five yards
in front of the cross bar. and by two
players driving 1t over after run OF
ten yards.
Rugby pushball is designed to cut out
the elements of the Rugby game which
have come under the displeasure of the
public owing to the. great number of
fatalities. A large ball in the opinion
of the local authors of the game seems
TO answer this purpose for the element
of roughness and pugilism is not pos
sible under the rules of the new game
with the presence of a ball six feet In

The rules under which the game Is
played, are in no way a theory They
have been trio. out in practice. Each
feature of the new game has received

due in the natural course OF things OF

fighters have been worthless after they

a few unusual cases.
When a good fighter goes wrong while
he Is still very young, lot OF people

Of himself they will tell you, he might

1t would be foolish to lay down any
rules about when man should begin
fighting and how he should take care of
himself. What would he great scheme
for one fighter would be suicidal for
another. But It is my opinion. just the
same, that many n good scrapper Is
ruined by beginning hard campaign
before his frame and muscles have knit

the endurance of n strong man.

AS to the possibility of meeting be-

badly, and at 1913 pounds the Dane would
be lunch for the dusky champion.
