WRESTLING GOTCH FAILED
 IN HIS TASK Threw Rogers Twice But Could Not Keep 0'Rourke's Protege
 on the Mat.

New York, March Frank | Gotch, champion heavyweight wrest- Ter of America, failed to throw big Joe Rogers, self-styled American champion, the American Apollo, " five times in one hour, as he had agreed to do. For sixty minutes Gotch toyed with Rogers's 253 pounds of fat and muscle at the Am sterdam theater on West Forty fourth street, before a crowd of B. 900, and the best he could get was two falls. The first fall, gained in tWenty-six minutes, was the result of half-Nelson and crotch hold. The second, ten. minutes later, was Gotch's famous toe hold.
 On the form showed by Gotch last night against Tom O'Rourke's protege, George Hackenschmidt, the Russian Lion, will have little diff1- culty in defeating the American champion when they meet on the mat in Chicago on April 8.
 When the two men were called to the center by Referee Tom Jenkins, shortly after g o'clock, it was plain that Rogers outweighed Gotch by at least fifty pounds. Much of Rogers's avoirdupois consisted of nicely laid rolls of fat. After a few minutes it was plain that Rogers's chief ambi- tion was to remain the hour and not attempt to throw his clever op- ponent. In the articles of the match Gotch agreed to throw Rogers five times in an hour or forfeit $500 and the entire gate receipts. In the event that Rogers secured one fall the match was to go to him.

WINNER WILL MEET SUMMERS

Baltimore, March Hast night before the Eureka A. C. Winfield Soldier" Burns of this city was giv- en we'll earned decision over Kid Sullivan of Washington at the end of the fifteenth round by Referee Joe Michigan.
 It was the second meeting between the boys. the former resulting in a draw. Burns tonight was by far the cleverer at long range boxing, send. ing his left hand jab to the Washing. tonian's face with deadly effect. Sul- livan kept boring in and endeavored time and again to land punishing blows on the soldier. Burns, how. ever, was far too shifty. So the kid had to satisfy himself with infiicting body punishment on the back and kidneys.
 The contest was marked by little clinching. IL was a case of fight from start to finish. Being victorious in last nights contest Burns will meet Johnny Summers of England here on March 26.

Lawrence, March 7.-Dick Nelson of New York and Young Kloby of Lawrence fought twelve rounds to a draw last night before the Unity club, and the decision was hissed and jeer- ed. Nelson was the aggressor through out, and although Kloby landed some telling blows In the second and the eleventh rounds, Nelson was never in danger of knockout. However, the speed at which Nelson carried Kloby round after round began to show it's signs on Nelson toward the last of the bout
 Kid Rogers and Young Jefferies of Lawrence boxed six rounds, the for mer winning the decision. Scotty Me- Gee made Billy OBrien of South Lawrence quit in three rounds, and Young O'Brien of Lawrence, although outweighed by Kid Clark, gave him a grand fight until the fourth round, when Clark put him out with a right uppercut to the jaw.

REFORMING THE RUBE.
Extraordinary Efforts to Keep Him
 on the Wagon.

Newspapers in St Louis, where Rube Waddell is going to play thi' season, publish the following warning to the public: 4s.a
 Absolutely refuse to buy drink for Rube Waddell. Lead him not in to temptation.
 Each and every fan in St Louis should use his influence and good of- fees to keep Rube straight.
 No bartender or saloon keeper should sell WaddelI 8 drink, under any pretext whatever.
 No one should offer baseball's buff foon any beer or whiskey.
 If you follow these suggestions, the task of his keeper will be much easier.
 "Rube is like child. He is easily led into temptation. If you tndividu- ally discourage his efforts to paint the town red, he will subside.
 Professional ball players should be especially careful about buying or drinking with Rube. Treating is responsible for most of the break downs in baseball.
 Fans think they must show their gratitude to players and loyalty to the club by getting the diamond ar lists drunk.
 Fans of St Louis! It is difficult and nerve racking undertaking to make Rube teetotaler and prohibi- tionist. Lend helping hand.
 "One and all, help Rube's keeper by carrying out the provisions of the Biblical saying: I, myself, am my brothers keeper
 Don't leave it all to your neigh bor. Do part of the reforming your self.
