IN THE FIELD OF SPORTS
Wrestling


Fred Gruhn, the English cham
pion wrestler, who is matched to
meet Tom jenkins, American cham
pion, at Suffers Harlem Casino next
Tuesday, April 10, is so confident of
being declared the victor that he has
already opened up negotiations for Il
match with Frank Gotch.
Gruhn's manager, Attila, shares
| the E~nglishman's belief in his abili-
ty to throw big Tom. He bases his
| opinion not only upon the great
strength that Gruhn is possessed Of
| and his exceptional cleverness upon
the mat, but also upon the long
string of victories which is contained
in the Britishcr's record.
Jenkins will come to New York
| Monday from West Point, and should
he be declared the winner yer Gruhn
states that he is ready to give Gotch
another try for his title. Gotch has
been persistent in his efforts to OBJ
tain a return match ever since Tom
beat him in Madison Square Garden
last year. Kansas City, Buffalo and
New York, all three, stand ready TO
bid for a return match between Jen-
kins and Gotch, as the latter, while
twice defeated by Jenkins in New
York last year, both times gave him
a hard battle.
George Bothner, the lightweight
champion catch-as-catch-can wrest-
Ter, and Harvey Parker. the Little
Demon" have agreed to wrestle at
140 pounds, weigh in at Q p. m.
Parker held out for 143 pounds. the
| weight at which Bothner wrestled Al
Alderman in Lima, o., last Wednes-
day night. and as the lightweight
champion insisted on 1873 pounds,
~ringside, a compromise vas finally
effected by Parker agreeing to defeat
Bothner within an hour through
gaining a pinned fall OF by securing
the most number of points and the
referees decision.
Parker has also agreed to allow
Fred Beell TO wrestle John Piening
at mixed style. and give the Butch
er Boy the choice of the style of
wrestling for the first fall, he to
weigh in at the same hour as Bothn-
er does at BELLS weight or less. The
offer has been submitted to Johnny
Dunn, and he has accepted on behalf
of Piening, who weighed only 1862
pounds when he met Tom Jenkins
for the first time at Madison Square
Garden.
