Madrali created a stir ill wrestling circles before Hacken- schmidt broke his arm and beat him in match. This was Jenkinss first contest of importance since his arrival in England and his friends were dis appointed that he failed to beat the big Turk.

Without any reflection upon the ability of Tarro Myak. or the justice of his claim to a match with the champion, wish to make 1t quite clear that he must win the match to gain one penny- worth of remuneration.
