i am in the very best condition, and the
longer l train in this Minnesota climate the
better L am. j am much better than when
wrestled before. / tell you, want to do this
man Moth, and will. He had better not do
too much fooling at GrecO-ROman, for may
catch him at his own style. OF course there
is no doubt about the collar-and-elbow bouts,
and L say that can throw any man in the
world at catch-as-catch-can with jackets and
feel pretty thoroughly at home at that style.
When we get through with this match in
tend to propose to wrestle Moth in private.
j will wager $3.50 that he cannot throw me
once in six hours at Graeco-Roman. II he
accepts we will each take five or ten friend
and II show him what he can't do at his
favorite. and in fact, only style.
The challenge came to the notice of Al
Schafers last night, and he lost no time in
posting 5000 with the GLOBE. saying:
i really don't think Mclaughlin meant
what he said. At all events, let him cover
this money or acknowledge that he was only
playing game of bluff. 1t is foolishness TO
wrestle in private. Let it be decided to-mor-
row night at Leland. ] bet this $500 that
Moth will throw him in two hours, Greco-
Roman style. Mclaughlin claims Moth cam
| not do ii in six hours. propose that he can
do it in two hours. There is deal of differ
ence between two and six hours. 1 give him
four hours better than he asks. Here is the
money. Now invite Mac to cover it. If Moth
fails to throw him in two hours he can have
my money and will not grumble.
The $500 is in the hands of the GLOBE,
and Mr.. Mclaughlin is invited to call at 2
O'Clock this afternoon and cover it.
