 Match.

Brockton, Sept. 19.-Harvey Park CT yesterday gave to the Greeks in- terested in the wrestling game in this city, in answer to questions, the in- formation that he was the 50 pound unknown man ready to wrestle some of their favorites. That inspired them to bring out young Prokos, a Greek wrestler with a winning record, and yesterday a deposit of $40 was made by the Greeks to bind match for SlO0 side, Young Prokos against Parker. Parker says he prefers to wrestle in private, but if the others insist on a public match. as of .,ourse they will. he will wrestle for the bet and gate money. He is willing to donate his gate money after expen- ses to the poor. and is ready to have a member of the board of overs, CT. of the poor in the box-office to watch the count. The match will probably take place a week from Friday night. It is said that James Prokos, another wrestler, is eager to meet Mcleod.

Johnny Dwyer won another battle last night when in six slashing rounds he defeated but didn't knock out Fred Dwsoan of Brooklyn. q boxer with d wallop that would jar the Flatiron building if it landed straight.
 And by the way it did land in the first round when he caught Dwycr on the side of the jaw. Dwyer went 10 the mat all right but was up in jiffy fighting hard as ever Inside of a minute he was sent down again, and this time he was not in such d great hurry to get up. When he did, though, he tore into Dawson and fought him to a standstill.
 Dawson was beaten to a pulp. His nose was Niagara of crimson and his lips were swollen and bleeding, but he stuck and waited for another chance to get his wallop over. Tn the third the bell saved Dawson who was staggering about the ring dazed and only sticking by sheer gameness. From then until the finish he was a chopping block for clever Dwyer. who was on top of him every second, but couldn't put him away.
 Philadelphia was figurativeIy wiped off the mat by members of the Sharkey 4 C. last night. Joe Hanra- han, who has fondness for Quarker scalps, added another to his collection when he knocked out in the sixth round Ed Bailey of PhilIie. Bailey started in pretty good, but didn't go the pace.
 Jim Livingston. stripling from the Quaker City, took an awful beating from Sammy Keller. but managed to 20 through the six rounds. Living stOn. who is really kid" is game as a pebble. hut has lots to learn about the art of give and take in a twelve foot ring. He slammed Keller eood and hard several times and finished pretty strong. although cut to ribbons by the little Briton.
 Willie Jones outpointed Young Ice in a pretty exhibition. and Eddie Smith had shade on Young Sullivan. a lad with a good mitt.

PROMOTERS ARE GETTING BUSY.
May Be Three Boxing Exhibitions
 in This City-Other Interest- .. ing Fight Talk.

Fight promoters in this city are be-
 ginning to get busy and if things ma
 terialize, as they expect, the Water
 bury lovers of that sport will have q surfeit of it this winter. The last fracas in Waterbury was not all that It was advertised to be because one of the fighters failed to put in ap ap- pearance, but better things are prom lsed this time. Bernie Burke is first in the field and his prospects look unusually bright. He is backed up by a certified check of $50 to give just what he promises. One of the battles, that is on the tapis. and which Bernie says he will have, will be a go between Sailor Burke, who recently boxed a siX-round bout, with Jack Johnson, and Larry Temple This battle would be warm enough for any fight lover. Burke has been Identified with some of the best box ing matches that were ever pulled off in this city. Harry Durant, Moe Har- ris and John Curley are three more flght promoters who want to pull off another tournament in this city and are figuring on Thanksgiving night. Then the Physical Culture club is n the race with a proposed tournament in Polls theater. If all succeed in getting into the limelight, there should be whole lot of good battles this winter.
 Harry Lenny proved too clever for Charley Seiger in their 6-round bout at the Dry Dock club, New York, last night Lenny waited for his aggres- sive opponent and landed at will with fast left, and used a right to the stomach with telling effect. Seiger tried hard and rushed Lenny to the ropes repeatedly but was unable to land. It was slow bout with little damage done
 Bill Squires will have another chance to show the Frisco fight fans what he can do in the line of slug ging as he and Jack (Twin) Sullivan Will clash at Coffroth's mission street arena on Sept. 2S, in a twenty-round contest. They will fight for 50 per cent. of the receipts and split the purse sixty and forty. Billy Rocne has been selected to referee the go. Coffroth will stage the fight in the af- ternoon, and this will be the first of the Saturday afternoon slug -fests that he proposed to hold across the line. Squires has gone back to his old quarters at Shannon's and will have Joe Thomas to train him. Sul- livan is doing his work at Crolls Gardens, where Joe Cans trained for Britt.

this summer. The reckless young son of
a great provincial steel founder, with a
broken-d down young marquis for hanger
on, had lost some $4,000 at baccarat. One
morning talk ran on luck. charms and, in
particular, the Sorcerer of Kervern.
Suddenly the young rake rose and said:
me for the sorcerer.'
They sped off in a high-power auto.
They walked up old Gaspard at midnight.
He made no objection Gaspard loves
gold. They desired the big charm. ne
put them through it beside the menhirs
just as day was dawning. Fastening
back to Trouville baccarat, they took
bank, which netted them 400, coo francs
in less than fifty minutes,

vern was a love potion in an eight-ounce
bottle Now l have it, 1 don't know
