BID FOR WRESTLING MATCH
Salt Lake City Wants to See
Gotch in Action, if Possible.

New York is not going to get the possible
wrestling match for the championship OF
the world between Frank Gotch and the
winner Of the Zbyszko- Raicevich contest,
which takes place at Madison Square Gar
den next Monday night, without bidding
high for the attraction. The managers Of
the Salt Air Palace Salt Lake City, have
made an offer OF $4,000 for the match,
and sent word yesterday 10 Jack Herman,
Ibyszko's manager, and TO Raicevich' s
brother. Emilio, that they were sending a
representative TO New York, who will be at
the Garden ready to talk business with
the one who carries off first honors In the
struggle.
Realizing that $4,000 is a lot Of money
even for a match of such importance,
both Herman and Raicevich will want to
see the color OF the coin before they give
the proposition any consideration. II
either the Pole or the Italian wins a clean
cut victory in Monday nights struggle a
match with Frank Gotch would undoubt-
edly draw more money at Madison Square
Garden than any other place I'm this
country.
Raicevich yesterday sent in the name Of
Ercole Locatelli president Of the Itanan-
American Gymnastic Association. and an
Tho reservation OF seats for the contest
was opened yesterday morning, and the
tickets will be placed on sale at Madison
Square Garden, hotels and sporting resorts
throughout the city on Friday.

Ithaca. n Y. Feb. 5.--The rumor which
has circulated throughout the undergradu-
ate community for seve' al weeks with
notable consistency to the effect that the
coaches for the Cornell football team next
season would be Daniel A. Reed, 80, as
head coach, with DR.. Al T.. Sharpe
Yale '02, as his first assistant. received Of
fetal confirmation at the office OF the ath-
letic association to-day. Not absolute con-
firmation, however, but the rumor was ac-
knowledged TO have foundation in that the
football committee. having met yesterday,
had decided to make a recommendation to
this effect to the athletic council.
II is thought almost certain that the
council will ratify the decision OF the com
mittee. I'm view Of the fact that resolution
amending the records so as to permit other
than graduate coaching Of the association
was recently made. and at that time pub
lie sentiment seemed 10 infer that the
change was made for the exact purpose Of
making possible the Issuance of call to
Or. Sharpe.
Dan Reed was head coach last year.
while Al Sharpe is known as one Of the
best football officials IN the country.

For delicacy in working out the carroms
and wonderful masse shots J. Ferdinand
Poggenburg. the former Glass billiard
champion, has rarely surpassed HIS per
formance Of last night, when he defeated
Percy Collins, the Chicago youth, in the
evening game. The hnal tally was 400
points TO 2t2
For time II looked as II Poggenburg
was to hang up a new high average rec
ord. He had two or three chances to finish
inside Of twenty-five innings, but he was
overanxious and so spoiled his last innings
as to settle down TO an average of 10 1854
with high runs Of 80. a and a. Collins
started out 10 make one Of his whirlwind
finishes which was altogether confined to
one inning lie fell TO an average of s-34
his lowest figure, and his runs were only S5
% and 10.
After Collins had led off with a zero
after the bank shot for lead, Poggenburg
put together 40 that were highly interest
ing even II inclined to be somewhat scrag-
gly as to method. Three turns later the
great LiederkranZ player counted 30, which
were closely compiled and then the cue ball
froze to the red At the respot Poggenburg
was away of. and then he had some dreary
innings before he really got TO work.
The beginning of his good playing came
with his thirteenth turn at the table. He
opened with nicely timed three-cushion
shot and at II had the ivories collected
at the top OF the table. He held them
we'll punched to 81, and then had TO play
some difficult cushion shots, which he reeled
off prettlly. He was coaxing the globes to-
gether again when he tripped up on a
simple direct carrom. Two turns later he
counted 40 points of the same character.
Az the twentieth inning Poggenburg be-
gan to maneuvre closely again in a line
nurse In that and the twenty-third inning
he Stunned carroms and made many masse
shots In order to hold the balls to the end
rail. 1t was after this that he lapsed, and
Collins created interest by bringing off
some skyrockets, but to no avail.
The score follows:

provide themselves with every accessory
which could possibly aid them In winning a
match-cloyes for wet weather. chalk for

and they consider that all is lost II any
one Of these articles should be forgotten.
One Of the most unjustihahle supersduons
10 which some golfers pretend 10 cling ~
that which states that it is unlucky 10 win
the first hole. It belongs TO that class Of
false consolation which is expressed by
such phrases as might have been worse

Probably the most disastrous mannerism
10 which n golfer can succumb is self-con-

BOUTS IN MANY ARENAS
Cross More than a Match for Cy
Smith at Olympic Club.

In one of the best bouts seen by the
members Of the Olympic Athletic Club in
many a month Phil Cross, the younger
brother Of Leach Cross, had somewhat the
better Of Cy Smith, the Hoboken light
weight, last night. Cross had the ad-
vantage of six pounds in weight, tipping
the beam at 14f pounds, while the Jersey
lad weighed In at 13s. Physical disparity,
however, was the least Of Smiths worries
He lowered his toussled head, and, boring
in with heavy swings all the time, kept
Cross busy. The awkward, left-handed
style Of Cross puzzled Smith not a little,
and Phil crashed home many hard left
hand wallops to the face and body as the
battle wore along. A left hand swing to
the tip of the chin stood Smith up on his
heel and had him groggy in the seventh
round, but he was too powerful for Cross
TO finish.
Young Packey" Mcfarland, the Brook
lyn bantamweight, and Harry Rodden, OF
Jersey City, boxed ten-round draw be-
fore the Irving Athletic Club, Of Green
point, last night. Both men exchanged
Lard blows throughout the bout. They
also revelled in inhghting. At the end
both men were still battling strongly.

weight boxer who has more than made
good during his short career In the roped
arena, is eager TO secure match with the
best heavyweights in the ring to-day.
Kennedy is anxious TO make a match with
Carl Morris, and says in a letter 20 The

Il appreciate that my contest with Ca-l
Morris some time back took a little Of the

not discouraged. l tried my best with
Morris, but | was not there There was
something lacking and l can only attribute
IL TO a severe cold which / contracted

my old form. No one can convince me that
Morris is my superior in a 24-foot ring. 7
