we're splendid events.
T4uge. who weighs 26O pounds. is a
much better wrestler than most per-
sons had given him credit for being.
The Turk admitted thai he was one of
tbe hardest men that he had ever tack
led and said that with two weeks'
proper training the German would be
. great wrestler But LANCE is the vic
rim of "a very large stomach. and when
he tussled with the mighty Turk he
berame sick The hard work made
his stomach turn.
The first bout, which was catch-as-
catch-can. between Burns and Morris
lid not last very long. After two min
MES and fOrty-tiYe seconds Burns got
an English side hold and threw Norris
over his back to the floor. 1t took
Burns longer TO get Morris in the sec

The Turk and LANCE.
The match between the Turk and
LANCE was a thing of humOr as well
as muscle The Turk is a very funny
man without realizing his humor. and
he kent the crowd in continuous
uproar with his curious antics. He
was as unconcerned and as quiet all
through the match as if he were at
dinner He left the butt of a cigar on
a bench when he went onto the mat.
As soon as the bout was over he
jumped down and in broken English
asked for his cigar. He picked II up
from the ground. and. lighting it. puffed
away contentedly. LANCE was greatly
surprised. He could not understand an
athlete smoking while such a match
was on.
In the first bout, which was Graeco-
Roman. LanCe was fresh and he cid
we'll He was on the defensive all the /
time never making an effort to throw !
the Turk. During the first part of the !
bout he ran away from the Turk so
fast that the big fellow could not /
catch him. Once while he was run /
nne. after some hard and firing work. /
The crowd howled at him.
Come down and take a piece of it (
YOURSELF he called back in a husky
y0Ic
But after twenty minutes the Turk
haaiy got half Nelson and an Eng
.Sa cross bar and bore him over on
MS back LANCE was as sroggy as a I
