Union Fails to Show Up.
No game was played at Browning
field yesterday between the Union and
the Dispatch, as the Rock Island team
failed TO appear at the field in time.
The Dispatch was on the diamond at
$3.50 and waited vainly until 5 o'clock
for the Unionists but they failed to
put in an appearance. The Rock Is
landers came along shortly after the
hour of . o'clock but the Dispftchites
had left for home.
Whether or not the game will be
forfeited is a matter of conjecture and
will be decided at a special meeting of
the board of arbitration of the league.
The Union showed up in time to play
1t least five innings but the Disratch
lad left the field.

ROLLER DESIRES
TO MEET DEMON
Famous Doctor Grappler An
swers Sweeping Challenge
Made by Demetral.

In response to the sweeping chal-
Ienge issued by William Demetral,
"The Greek Demon" through The
Argus of June 4, letter was received
this morning by the sporting editor OF
The Argus from DR.. b. F. Roller, who
is now in Chicago. DIR. Roller claims
the American heavyweight wrestling
championship since Gotch's retirement
by virtue of defeating Cutler at Benton
Harbor, Mich, last 4th of July. He
furthermore states that he is side
stepping no one, and that he will be
open for a match any time after the
5th of July. Rollers challenge has
been sent to Demetral, and should a
match be arranged il will no doubt
prove one of the biggest wrestling
cards this season.
When Demetral was in Rock Island
he issued a challenge to Westergaard
through the Des Moines papers, but
at the present writing not a line has
been received from the Iowa grappler.
Demetral often remarked that Wester-
gard was afraid to clash with him,
and Judging by his continued silence
the Greek Demon" carries some
weight.
Demands Worth While Purse.
Following is the text OF DR.. Rollers
letter to the sporting editor of The
Argus:
81 have been informed that Demet-
raj, the Greek demon wrestler, has
made some very sweeping challenges
in your city, including some caustic re-
marks about the writer.
81 realize that Demetral is a good
wrestler, but / hold the American
cham ionship since Gotch's retirement
and since defeating Cutler at Benton |
Harbor, Mich. last July T. am side |
stepping no one and as I shall have |
some time open after the fifth OF July
| shall be very glad to have you notify |
Mr.. Demetral and your promoters that
| shall be perfectly willing 10 give him
a match in your city or anywhere else.
''You can reach me through the
Hotel Sherman. Chicago at any time.
4 your promoters can offer a purse
sufficient to make IL worth while I
hall be glad to wrestle him, winner
AXE all, or any other basis.

WILSON DECLINES
To See Chicago Man Who De-
sires to Present Messages
from German Americans.

WASHINGTON Sept. 1S.-Presi-
dent Wilson today declined to receive
Horace L. Brandt. of Chicago, who
came to present messages from sew
eral German-American organizations,
protesting against the charges of
atrocities made by the Belgian COM
mission against the German army.
The president took the position
that he had already refused to per-
nit natives of other beIligerent coun-
tries living in the United States to
discuss the war with him and that the
messages of the German-Americans
were not of the same nature as those
brought by the Belgian commission
ers. He planned to write letter to
Mr.. Brandt, explaining that his re-
cent letter as to neutrality should APP
ply equally to all living in this coun-
try.

Fewer passengers than usual were in
