NEW WRESTLER FOUND.

Des Moines, Ia, Dec 2O-Iowa has new aspirant to become champion wrestler of America. A recent work develops that he bids fair to realize his fond expectations. It is Jess Ref mer, who was discovered little over q year ago by Charles Hackenschmidt.
 Reimer has trained hard. and this week will meet here in a match with Doc Fillmore Reimer once met Dan Mcleod in a handicap match. the lat ter agreeing to throw him three times in an hour, but failed to do it.
 Reimer entered the wrestling tour nament at Kansas City last fall, md on the first night was matched with Big Tank Rogers, the man who IS al- ways out with challenge for Gctch. It was long, hard fight, but Reimer won.
 Terribly punished and in bad condi- tion he went on the mat the next night with Frank Beell. who at that time held championship honors. It was all Beel could do to handle him, and after the bout he could not say enough that was good about Reimer's work.
 After Christmas Reimer expects to issue challenges to some of the big men of the country.

WOMEN WREsTLERs.

Hartford, Dec 20.-Julius Weiss. founder of the Julius Weiss associa- tion, left for New York yesterday morning to be away week. While in New York he will endeayor to se- cure two women wrestlers as an at traction for the annual ball of the association, which will probably be held in Germania hall. At the last ball of the association the principal attraction was the electrical decora- tions, but the managers believe that an athletic entertainment will be a better drawing card and Mir Weiss thinks that grappling bout be- tween two women will be a novel att traction. It certainly will be novel, as good women wrestlers are hard to find. Harry Hill used to have women boxers at his Houston street enter tainments in New York, but they are out of date now. One of the best of women athletes is. Belle Gordon, the bag puncher, and she is in vaude- vile.

THE PUGlLISTS NO NEGRO
 FOR JEFFRIES Will Fight Tommy Burns But Net Jack Johnson NeIson
 Likes Nolan.

Articles of agreement for fight between James J. Jeffries and Jack Johnson, the colored heavyweight, have not been signed yet, and there are so many little Ifs" used in dis cussing. the proposed mill that 1t would not be at all surprising If the whole matter went up in smoke. When pinned down as to his plans for arranging the battle, Tex Rick ard, the Goldfield promoter, who IS in New York, was inclined to qualify his statements for publication. He said that he had heard that Jehries would agree to return to the ring providing $5O,000 purse was of fered and a suitable opponent bobbed up, but Rickard could not say defi- nitely whether Jeffries had agreed to tackle Johnson, on whom Jeff drew the color line some time ago. Rick ard declared, however, that if Jef- ries would consent to meet Johnson to finish at Goldfield next summer he would really hang up $5O,OOO for the mill, and would offer the same amount for Jeffries to meet Bill Suuires of Australia in case the boil- ermaker still objected to the colored man.
 Tn addition to these propositions Rickard said that if Jeffries would agree to meet Jack O'Brien and Tom- my Burns one after the other in the same ring on the same day, he would guarantee a $5O.00O prize and would also bet $1O,000 on that side that Jeffries could defeat both men.
 Johnson. meanwhile, Is quoted as saying to newspaper men in Los An- geles, where he arrived yesterday, that he will light Jeffries at the drop of the hat and win bet $10,000 on the side. The colored man, accord- ing to a published interview, de- clares that Jeffries is not the man he was three years ago and that the boilermaker has taken on so much flesh that he can never hope to get down to his old fighting weight. In that case, Johnson says, he can put 1t all over the boilermaker, close both of his eyes and finally put him away. This kind of talk, if Johnson has really made it, may be the means of including Jeffries to come back. Then Rickard will have a chance to make good with his $50,000 purse.
 Los Angeles, Cal. Dec 20.--James J. Jeffries said yesterday that he
 would agree to fight Tommy Burns If a $50,000 purse were provided. He
 would not, he said, make a match
 with Jack Johnson, a colored pugi-
 list, for any sum.

BOWLING
LOCAL TRIO
 DEFEATED The '4Three Herbs" of Bridgeport Take Them Into Camp
 Very Nicely.

Bridgeport. Dec 20.-The trio that came from Waterbury to battle with the Three Herbs went home last night with just barely one point to It's credit. Four strings were bowled and each string counted one point. Totals stood for nothing; but had the totals been one of the counts of the game, "The Herbs" would have had one more scalp in their belt. The "Herberts' won ten of the twelve strings bowled. Beardsley beat French in the second round by 27 pins. and Harper got the best of Banks in the fourth by nine. All of the other ten innings were chalked down in favor of the local boys.
 Had totals counted for anything, the Waterbury boys would not have had a look in, for each mans total was in excess of the visitors by a goodly margin.
 Banks total of 729 was the highest Of the game, as was also his score of PIP, made in his third time up. Cooper was close second, however, with 724, two of his strings being better than 190. Larfah and Boards ley were tied for Ionors, each having 682 for total. Beardsley's string of 193 was the best made by the visitors. The next match between these teams will take place in New Haven next Thursday night. The score:

TWENTY ROUND BOUT.

About 100 persons Tuesday night witnessed one of the best fought twenty-round bouts that has been seen in some time.
 The mill was between Dick Miller and Jack Nelson. both middle weights, and took place in private hotel at Bath Beach.
 Miller was the favorite from the start, and the odds were 2 to 1. Many of those present were friends of Nell son, and the result was that several hundred dollars was wagered.
 From the first round to the eighth Nelson forced the fighting. When time was called for the ninth round Miller. who had been badly punished, seemed to have recovered himself, and went at his antagonist with the determination of putting his man out.
 He continued in the same manner during the remainder of the twenty rounds, flooring Nelson four times to the end of the bout.
 Nelson was badly punished during these rounds, and was very groggy at the finish. The decision was given to Miller by the referee, Alec Jen- nings. The timekeeper was James Dougherty.

RIG PRICE ASKED.

If Matty Mcintyre. the crack out fielder of the Detroit Americans, is allowed to go to another club, 1t will not be before fancy price has been paid for his release. At the recent American league meeting at Chicago certain club owner. said to be Tay- Tor of Boston, offered S7.500 in cash for Mcintyre. which Navin of Detroit promptly refused. Mcintyre is be- lieved to be one of the coming play CTS of this country especially as a batsman, and the Detroit club. anxious to make deal for him which will benefit the team under Hugh Jennings, Is somewhat ayerse to selling him outright. But unless present signs 60 for nothing McIn- tyre will be a member of one of the big teams in the East. the owner of which stands ready to pay over S1O,0O0 cash or will trade several ex- cellent players for the young Staten Islander. The New York American league club also has line out for Mcintyre and stands a good chance of securing him. as few clubs can outbid Farrell and Grifith when they decide to land a player they need.

REMNANTS OF GAlILEO.
Finger and Thumb of the Famous As
tronomer to Be Bought by
Italian Government.

What is the finger of a dead scientist
worth? This question has been STIR
ring all Florence, the thumb and in
GeX finger of the right hand of Calico
having recently been offered for sale
in that city by an old woman. Laura
Joni. Being in straitened circum-
stances. relates the New York Post,
she tried to obtain the highest offer
for her strange property.
The government, getting wind OF the
affair, caused an investigation to he
made, and aScertained that these relics
Of the great astronomer were genuine,
having been cut off in 1877 by a fanat-
ical admirer, Marquis Capponi, when
the body was reinterred in the splen-
did mauSoleum in the Santa Croce
church. Thereupon the government
decided to acquire them and 10 replace
them in the mausoleum.
The only question still to be dis
oussed is the matter of price. Upon
this point experts will undoubtedly
be called in. But one person, we are
sure, would not be welcome-the
American tourist, who, as reported re-
Gently in the Atlantic Monthly, re-
marked on being told that of Cali
lco's tomb in the Santa Croce: Cali
leo? Oh, yes; Calico? Why, of
course! PygInalion and Calico; you
always hear of them together; now,
who was Pygmalion?"

RITES ODDLY AMERICANIZED
Chinese in This Country Substitute
Greenbacks for Brass in
Burial Ceremony.

Unconverted Chinese who have
lived in America long enough to be
touched by the undermining influence
of the new west, have given a peculiar
twist to their already peculiar burial
service. 1t was according to this mod
ernized rite, reports the Philadelphia
Record, that many crisp United States
dollar bills were buried, together with
food, in the coffin of Chin Wing, whose
funeral took place on a recent Sunday
in this city. The original Chinese
ceremony calls for much burning of
incense in the room where the body
lies in state and at the burial that
food and cash" be inferred with the
corpse The cash." or Chinese money
is to pay the guide who shows the de-
parted soul across the Confucian Styx,
and the food prevents him from faint
ing along the way from hunger But
the Americana Chinese is no longer
particular that Chinese money accom-
panies the spirit. He reasons that
American dollars are as good. and
certainly more easily obtained here
and that the wanderer can surely find
a bank of exchange in the land of
spirits where he can convert the
sound money of one Of the most pros
porous nations on earth into any cur
rency the other world requires.
