Wants "Pon, Fosters Scalp.

Arrangements were completed yes- terday afternoon for a wrestling match between Pop" Foster, the Yale heavyweight wrestler, and Fol we'll, the big University of Pennsyl- vania football captain and wrestler, to take place in the Yale gymnasium' Saturday evening.
 This will be one of the most in teresting athletic contests ever pulled of at Yale owing to the decided riv- airy between the two big men. The match will have no time limit but will be a mat struggle for three falls.
 Last Saturday, Foster threw Fol- we'll at the meet in Philadelphia. Folwell claims Foster won the fall on a fiuke and since then has been hot af.er the big Yale man. He went so far as to come to New Ha- ven and make arrangements to meet Foster on the mat and says he can throw the Yale man. Foster at once signified his willingness to take on the Pennsylvania wrestler and the ma oh has been arranged for Satur- day night.

POLO NOTES.
Farewell to polo.

Farewell to polo.
 We made a grand finish. Remember the boys tomorrow night.
 Managers McMahon and Halliwell deserve whole lot of credit for sticking to the game in the face of financial defeat.
 Cunningham was fit to be tied last night when Waterbury tied the score in that last period. The local play CTS laughed at him, which made him still more sore.
 "Tricked, duped, and by a boy. whom l helped to learn the game, |" that was the lament Of Cunny last evening after Higgins made the win ming goal, which Cunny had passed to him.
 All the sports in the city should take an hour or two off tomorrow night and go down to the rink and give the polo players a good and rousing benefit. They deserve it for the fast polo they have given the city.
 It has been definitely decided to play two series of games in the west after the present season ends. The series will begin on Monday. April 13. between two teams known as the 1 All Stars and the Canton teams. Seven games will be played and these will be divided up between New castle. Canton and sharon. three of the cities of the defunct Interstate league. The Canton team will be made up of Mercer and Harkins. rushers: Hardy. center: CarTigan. halfbaek: and Ramon. goal. The All Stars will have Higgins. Hart and Lewis. rushers: Mansfield. center. Cameron. haIfback and Harper goal.

 That's how the once famous rider, Tod Sloan. is situated on the ques- tion of his re-entree into the horse game.
 Mrs Tod Sloan whose stage name is Julia Sandersop, is in Cincinnati this week playing a role in musi- cal comedy.
 When does Mir Sloan expect to resume his work in the saddle?" was asked Mrs Sloan.
 Never" firmly replied the prima donna. There will be no more jockey work for him.
 Why not?" was asked, as there have been Tumors for some years that all the ineligibllities marked up against the famous Jockey Tod had been removed.
 Because I won't let him." re- torted the wife of five months. He is doing well in his present line of work. and so there's no reason for him to go back to the saddle. How ever, he could ride if he wanted to. He's down to 1l2 pounds in weight. and. with training, easily could make much less. However. there s no use-he1l never engage himself as a jockey again.

Watt is Still the Leader of the Bunch-Records of All the
 Cities.

Jimmie Watt jumped back into first place in the State Bowling league race for individual honors and now leads Charlie Johnson by eight-tenths of point. The latter bowler has fair chance to capture the premier honors, and will do the trick if Watt makes a slip.
 The battle for team honors will be a close one although Hartford at present looks best on paper. New Haven, owing to the pitiful defeal by the Park City five on last Tues day night. are now tied for second place with Waterbury, two games behind the Capitol city five.

Ali the Yale gymnasium last night

At the Yale gymnasium last night, before a crowd of several hundred students, Captain Foster of the Yale championship wrestling team, and William A. Goebel, the sophomore heavyweight, wrestled three matches to a draw for the championship of the university.
 The closeness of the matches more than made up for the non-appearance of Forwell, the Pennsylvania wrest- Ter, who was captain of last year football eleven. and who challenged Foster after the latter had won the intercollegiate heavyweight cham pionship. Folwell telegraphed that owing to illness he could not attend the meet, and Goebel was substituted. Goebel's showing gives evidence that Yale next, year has a good chance to win the championship under Captain Parker, as it did under Captain Foster.
 After the Foster-Goehel matches, George Dole, the intercollegiate l25 pound wrestler went three consecu- tive bouts with lazy Winters to a draw. The matches were fvelier than those of Foster and Goebel be- cause the men were lighter and could get around quicker. In the last of the three bouts neither Winters nor Dole was pushed down to the mat and the decision of draw was considered A very fair one.

WRESTLING
THE BIG ONES
 MEET TONIGHT
Hackenschmidt and Gotch Will Decide the Championship of
 the World.

Chicago, April 3.-At a meeting of newspaper men yesterday, Edward Smith, sporting editor of Chicago newspaper, was chosen referee Of the Gotch and Hackenschmidt world s championship wrestling match to- night. Smiths appointment was ap- proved by Hackenschmidt and by Jack Herman, acting as Gotch's rep resentative. ..:.%
 When Hackenschmidt and Gotch take the mat at Dexter park pavilion there will be less difference between them in size and weight than most persons suppose. The difference in measurements are in those points which are considered essential Ill a successful wrestler. In the larger upper body and upper-body muscles Hackenschmidt has the advantage To offset this Gotch's friends assert his greater familiarity with the catch code will avail.
 It is perhaps an interesting com parison at this time to match the measurements of these premier wrest- lers with those of Jeffries, the retired pugilistic champion. Jeffries' meas urements are: Age, 32; weight, 25O; height, feet F inches; chest, 441A; reach, 7594 waist, 99; thigh .2S; calf, 161a; biceps, 16; forearm IA; neck, IS.

SENATOR DAVIS
 HAS NEW BILL
Proposes to Offer Another Measure Designed to Put Bucket Shops Out of Business and Win Not Stand for It's Being Sldctracked.

Soothing hot is the bill being pre- pared by Senator Jeff Davis for in- Ftroduction in the next session of the United States Senate to make the op- cration of bucket shops crime, pun-
 shable by Imprisonment in national prisons.
 During his first year as senator he introduced an anti bucket shop bill which was side-tracked and finally de- feated. He has in the new bill re- moved some flaws of the old one and added fire to the places which were void of pyrotechnics ill the first.
 Senator Davis declares that the op- position must sit up and take notice when his new measure is unfolded by tho clerk and is flung into the face of the men who are sworn to do their duty. He says it sets out the flaming issues so pointedly that they cannot throw the switch, as was done in the last session of the Senate. Senatov Davis further intimates that he will be found stationed at every switch along the line and will put four inches of concentrated birthstone" into the frog to do a bit Of sidetracking himself. %'
 Should Senator Davis fail this ses- sion to get his ana-bucket shop bill passed, which is modelled after the one in effect In Arkansas. he will repeat the dose at the next session just as much stronger as the present bill is over the one slaughtered in the last session of Congress. Senator Davis expects to deliver a lengthy and typi- cal JJeff Davis speech In favor of the passage of the bill.
 Both Arkanses senators are prepar- ing to go to Washington and will leave here the first week in December in order to answer the roll call on the first Monday. Senator Clarke says he has nothing to offer in the coming session of Congress, but will devote his entire time to attending to the interests of Arkansas without attempting any new laws.

ELKINS RING
 CAME BY MAIL
Engagement Ring Sent by the Duke d'Abruzzi to Miss Elkins Is Being Held to Await Appraiscment by the Customs Officials.

Pittsburg, Nov. l7.--What is pre-. sumed to be the engagement ring with ruby setting, from the Duke o1 Abruzzi to Miss Katherine Elkins daughter of Senator Elkins, of Wese Virginia, lies in the vault of tho Pittsburg postofi1ce awaiting ap. praisement to determine the amount of duty that must be paid before its delivery, for the sender neglected to provide for the settlement with the United States treasury officials of the duty of 60 per cent. ad valo. rem on precious jewels coming from other lands.
 The ring was received by regis. tered mail at Elkins, W. Va, and from there sent to the postmaste at Pittsburg to be referred to the surveyor Of the port. It arrived late yesterday and was immediately turned over to Surveyor M. M. Gar land. The first jeweler to whom 1t was submitted thought 1t wortf about $3,000. The second wouN mako no estimate, but said because Of the rare beauty of the ruby i, might be worth 5000. The ring will be shown to other jewellers to- day. and if they agree upon q valua ton it will be returned to Elkins there to be held until the duty is paid If no appraisement is agree> upon here. it is said, the ring vii be sent to the Treasury Departmen at Washington.
 The ring is a heavy gold bant about one-eishth of an inch wide and is set with a pigeon-Jlood ruby oval shape and weighs about six 0l seven karats It is enclosed in 2 tin-lined White leather case Post. office authorities do not admit tha the Duke sent the ring: or, in fact discuss the matter at all. but in view of all that has gone before tn, presumption is that he sent the rin, and that it is an engagement token
 The opinion is ventured by some that the duke may have sent re. mittance to cover the duty, which was delayed. Of course the Elkinf family will be free to pay the dut, and take the ring as soon as the amount, probably about s1,S00, is determined.
