THE GREEK WINS.
Prokos Proved Too Much For Turk in
Wrestling Match.

John Prokos. who claims to be the
Greek wrestling champion of the world,
in a clever exhibition of catch-as-
catch-can wrestling at City hall Sat-
urday evening. took two falls from
Mamot Pileivan a Turk from Chicago.
This was the first exhibition of scien-
tific wrestling that has been held m
this city for many years and although
the sport was new to Augusta, a fair
sized crowd was present.
At one stage of the game it looked as
if there would be no wrestling match
for Prokos, who manages his own
matches, had neglected the little for
mality of getting permit for the
match. Fortunately the city council
was in session in the same building
early in the evening and the matter
was referred to Mayor Plaisted who
decided, after consultation with the al
dermen present, to let the bout go on,
but with the understanding that in the
future it would be quite as necessary
to secure permits for wrestling matches
as for boxing bouts
When the two men appeared in front
Of the mat it looked as if Pileivan was
an easy winner. He lowered over
Prokos in height and weighed IT'S
pounds to the Greeks 14S. For a time
as they struggled upon the mat the tMu
men seemed evenly matched, but grad
ually it appeared that Prokos was the
stronger and cleverer wrestler of the

NO INDICTMENT
Can Be Offered to Make Jeffries Re
:. enter the Ring.

Los Angeles, Dec. 27.-'There will be
no fight between Jack Johnson and my
self; they are not talking to me-" said
the former heavyweight champion
James ]. Jeffries, to a Representatives
of The Associated Press tonight, when
he was told that Hugh MsIntosh, Aus
tralian promoter was going to offer
$50,000 for a fight between Jeffries and
the new champion.
Il don't want the money" he said.
Il am out Of the game and the public
might as well understand it. l fought
my last fight some time ago and no
amount Of money or any inducemcnt
anybody can hold out would get me in
to the ring again"
Jeffries said that he was annoyed by
the persistent attempts to get him to
agree to fight and he would like to
have it made positive that there was
no way in which he could be induced to
fight Johnson or anybody else. Jeffries
is fat and out of condition and it is
thought by his associates that he new
er could be got into condition to en-
ter the ring, even if he had the inci-
nation to re-enter.
