Nick Elliott believes he has unearthed
a wonderful wrestler in Harry Weinberg
Of this city. Weinberg. who weighs only
about 1873 pounds In condition. Is excep-
tiona!ly we'll developed and Is also very
strong. He takes the best Of care OF him
self and eats only certain kinds Of food.
Weinberg has been taking lessons from
Elliott for about three months. but In that
time has shown remarkable aptitude. Elliott
thinks that by next fall Weinberg will be able
to hold his own against any one OF his weight

The London Sporting LIE OF June 8 has
this to say Of Yukio TAM. the Jap. who Ia now
appearing at the English music halls: TAM
stands s feet inch weighs l26 pounds and Is
% years Of age. yet he can be backed against
any man in the world at his peculiar style Of
wrestling. Tani knows some 5000 different
holds and locks. each one Of which will hold
a man in such a position that he must retire
or injure himself. Apollo. his manager
utes with Tani and $500 to the man who
can defeat him. Yet up TO date Apollo has
not been compelled to part with any OF his
money. On the night Of June TAM met
four men. Tani's first opponent was William
Corps Of Bermondsey. who lasted 1 minute
and IS seconds. Jack Wright Of Peddington
followed. He was thrown In minutes and
IS seconds. Joe Acton. the well,known Lam
