This is the second club from which

Comment and GOSSIP
GotCh Easily Threw Jim parr Twice in an
Hour-AtteIIs Barred for Faking-Who
IS Managing Corrigan?

Frank Gotch in New York last night
| again demonstrated his wonderful ahil-
ity as q wrestler by throwing Jim PaTr,
the English heavyweight champion in
IS minutes and 81 seconds and 10 min
utes and 21 seconds.
New York has not cared much fer
wrestling for several years because of
the takers who had queered the game,
but Gotch has a reputation for absolute
squareness IN all his matches. and the
Gotham sports loosened up to see him.
He had contracted to throw Parr twice
in an hour and there was considerable
| betting on the proposition. Parr was
known as a clever and ski1lfui wrestler
whose best trick was wrigg1ing out of
| tight places and for that reason he was
backed to stall Gotch off for the hour.
! AS soon as the men appeared on the
mat the New Workers realized that they
| had underestimated the nlmb!eness and
agility of Goteh In forming their opin-
| ions of the offensive ability of Parr The
| American champion showed that he was
as agile and scientific as his opponent
and handled his 1so pounds like a light
| weight. The first fall was gained with
a bar hold and the second with a crotch
hold.
| Gotch IS to meet Joe Grant at the
Washington Light Infantry Armory to-
night, and has agreed to throw sfanl
three times in an hour. It viii be the
first visit of the champion to this city,
and his appearance Is arousing great
interest among all the lovers OF the
sport.
After throwing Parr last night Gotch
announced that he would stick to wres-
Ting for the present, but that after he
had cleaned up all the mat artists
uorfiv Of his attention he would prob
ably go IN fer boxing. with an idea
| of challenging Jeffries for the heavy
weight title. The announcement was
received with applause. whereupon
| MethuseIar Tom Snarkey climbed
through the ropes and chal!enged, nm I'M
would give tho matter much earnest
consideration. Gotchs quickness ana
| gpeed with both hands and feet have
caused his possibilities as q boxer to De
| considered more seriously than they
were at one time, and If he should go

deIphia and get away with them s mere
