The latest information from the quarters of Nouroulah, the Turkish wrestler, is that he is physical phe- nomenon." His feats of strength are heralded in big type, and the sporting public is asked to believe that he will create veritable sensation when he makes his bow on the mat Men who have interested themselves in wrest- ling matches of importance say that the Turk is too fat to be active and that he Is merely a big, heavy man who knows little or nothing about the game. It is even asserted that Nour- oulah. when asked recently to lift some heavy weights. failed signally, though the weights had been quite easily handled by men who were prac- tical novices at the game. It will be remembered that when Pons, the Frenchman. came here, similar re- ports of his prowesS were circulated and that when he tackled Roeber in the Garden he was expected to win easily. Pons. on the contrary. proved to he an inexperienced wrestler of un- doubted strength and his showing was such a disappoinrment that the crowd yelled in derision. If Nouroulah does not come up to expectations. therefore it Is probable that he will get a sim liar reception.
