WRESTLING
VERY CURT REPLY
Manager Joe Lawlor Defended For Refusing to Allow kehoe to Go Against New Haveners--
 Beell a 'Phenom. 7

The letter writers have begun to get ill their work on the wrestling game and some of them have an idea that they ought to be the ones to tel how to manage a wrestler. In answer to communication in this mornings Re publican. long letter was sent to the Democrat office and the meat of it was clipped out and given as follows:
 If the we'll wishers of Ed O'Connell of New Haven and Murphy of Yale college want to see the points of Kid Kehoe they will have to wait for Il time. as far as matching with either of those gentlemen is concerned. Mali- ager Joe Lawlor is the one who is to ing Kehoe. The latter may have done some challenging during the excite ment down in the Simonsyille Athletic club the other night. but it is Man ager Lawlor who is footing the bills, or expects to, and he is the one to say who shall go up against Kehoe. O'Con nell and Murphy will be given their chance in time, but to send kehoe, really untried as far as Waterbury is concerned up against two alleged champions is not good management. and those who write letters ought to tum- ble to that fact. As far as Dan Pick cit is concerned he is too good Il boy to be put up by Waterbury sports, per haps to be beaten. and if you look at it.. isn't it strange that Dan Pickett should be pushed to the front? Why did John E. Kelly bring Dan Pickett around to tackle Kehoe? Why doesn't he tackle him himself instead of send ing one of his pupils up against him ! Doesn't Kelly want to earn a few more dollars. and he can earn whole lot of them if he can beat KehOe? Here is the best opportunity Kelly has ever had to make good with the people of this city. If he doesn't want the chance, all well and good, but let Man. ager Lawlor make his own matches for kehoe. Kelly says he doesn't want to make weight. Very well then, let him take on Kehoe at 140 or 14L pounds at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. That will scarcely be making weight, for Kelly ought not to weigh much over 142. If he wants the chance he tnu HuNS IL uUN- away. nS does not then Kehoe will be matched elsewhere. but not with O'Connell or Murphy for reasons best known to the manager of Kehoe. and they are not reasons of fear either"
 WINDSOR LOCK GRAPPLERS.
 Windsor Locks will have another wrestling carnival tomorrow night, as four bouts are scheduled. Bob. Somer. vile. the .featherweight champion. is matched to meet Leroy Bodger for I purse of S100. BOdger weighs 16f' pounds and Somerville will strip at 130.
 Herbert Hartley of Springfield. for. merly Of Providence, is matched to meet Leonard Dufault of Canada. Somerville recently defeated Dufauli and the Canadian and Hartley ought to be well matched. There will be preliminaries between Windsor Locks and Springfield wrestlers.
 Dr Sutton and Michael Fallon, the constable. will wrestle to decide the championship of Windsor Lods.s. Dr Sutton has claimed the championship since 1880. FallOn won the match with the doctor short time ago. but Sutton did not train for 1t and he was not in good shape. He is now said to be in prime condition.
