WRESTLING
FORFEITS ARE
 TURNED OVER Cianelli Got Bothner'. Twenty Five Yesterday Billy Kehoe
 Writes a Letter.

The two $25 forfeits which were posted at the Democrat office for the OConnell and Bothner match were both turned over to James Gianellj, the packer of O'Connell yesterday. The articles of agreement distinctly stated that the men must wrestle and the one refusing forfeited his money. The sporting writer of this paper waited to see if any Bothner's friends would enter an objection and as none did the money was passed over to Gianelli. In the future any forfeits over $2b posted in the hands of the sporting writer will have a percent age deducted just as it is done in New York and other places. There is too much bother and too much time spent in holding forfeits and deciding who shall have them without any recompense, so that unless packers of sports want to pay percentage for the holding of forfeits let them keep away from this office.

OLD TIMERS GONE.

There are a hundred fighters to-day | where formerly there was one. There are dozen champions to-day where formerly there was one. Times have changed the game. and the whole thing can be ascribed to limited bouts and fighting clubs, writes Otto Floto on boxers and boxing champions. In the olden days the champion had to win his laurels with skin gloves in the roped arena. pitched on the turf, and there had to be winner and a loser. He knew when he entered the ring, but he never knew when he was coming out of it. It's only few years ago that I sat at the ringside at heavyweight championship con- test, and one of the principals turned to me and said:
 "What round is this?"
 "The sixteenth" I replied.
 "Thank heaven I have only four more rounds to go," came the answer.
 Can you fancy that kind of con- versation and then remember the battles one used to witness for cham pionships? I remember another oc- casion at a big fight one of the prtn- cipals was fooling and refusing to fight, and the spectators were hissing him.
 "Why don't you fight?r I asked.
 .I am stalllng until the last four rounds and then will come strong and win." he said.
 And this was a championship fight, and the fighter claiming the chaul- pionship. great champions, ain't theyf
 Then I recall some of the old fights I witnessed and note the difference. Space will permis hut reviewing a few of ti.cm. It's still in the mem ory of old-.ime sports when Jack Ie- Auliffe and Harry Gilmore fought for the charapionship of the world in the lightweight class. It was one of .he fierccst fights that ever took place. and nip and tuck all the way. Git more was the champion and McAu- fife was fast coming to the front. During one of the hot rallies. m wnlcn Gilmore slipped out of ! very ticht place. he said to Mc.AIlIffe:
