THE CHALLENGE
IS UNACCEPTED

Wrestler Hans Froelecher's challenge
is still causing discussion among the
cognoscendi, but has not as yet beer
definitely accepted.
Willie Vida called at the Advertiser
office yesterday and said that last Fri
day Eddie TAFT, Froelecher's hacker,
was seen by him and told that he,
Vida, had japanese wrestler in sight
whom he would match against the
Swiss for a side bet of $500, the gate
receipts TO be apportioned on a 60 per
cent. TO the winner and 40 per cent. 10
the loser basis, or winner take all.
TAFT made an appointment to meet
Vida at 2 p. m. yesterday and let
him know whether he would accept the
offer or not.
Vida said yesterday that he saw
TAFT at the appointed hour and that
the latter told him that Charley Chill
lingworth had a Japanese in sight
about whom he had made the same
proposition as Vida had. TAFT told
Vida that he wanted more time TO
consider the two propositions in order
to close with the most advantageous.
Il went and saw Chillingworth,"
said Vida, and he denied having told
TAFT anything of the kind
And there the thing is. BY and by,
perhaps, match will be made
Vida surrounds his muscular protege
with much mystery. He says that the
Jap is on one of the other islands, but
won't tell which. 20
