Terms of Kennedy-Myers Match Materially Changed.

“Bill” Kennedy was at Parr a few days ago and insisted that the. terms of his match with “Billy” Stewart be changed so as to give him a chance at a bigger purse in case he wins. Stew art and his manager contended, and not without some right, that he should be entitled to the big end if he took on an unknown wrestler and the first arrangement was to give Stewart 75 per cent win*or lose. But on Kennedy’later request that the terms be altered it was arranged that the winner of the match get 75 per cent. Kennedy is said. to be well pleased with the present arrangement and to feel confident that he will take the long end of the purse. The fact that the' new terms are so pleasing to him has caused his supporters to take a renewed confidence in him and there is a Better prospect for a good match than there was a week ago. Kennedy and Stewart will go in for about the same weight ahd are much of the same build. Each will probably know more about the science of wrestling than Stewart or Myers did when that match was held and the contest should prove a big drawing card. It will be Friday night-of next week, Jan. 20th.

There are other matches being talked of now, a man by the name of Ross, who claims the middle weight championship, having written to Manager Ellis, offering to take on any aspirants. A young school teacher in the country is said to be a wrestler of some science, and anxious to meet any one of his size and weight. Randolph Wright is said to have a man in mind who will be after any wrestler that the county can produce. Stewart is willing to go through if he wins from Kennedy and he will probably accept any other challenger who shows up at the forthcoming match.
