Great Match Tonight.
The match tonight at the Hippodrome
between Burns and Parr is attracting a
great deal of enthusiastic attention. 1t
is a certainty that the Hippodrome will
be we'll filed, for it is generally conceded
that the Farmer" will have even a
sitter proposition than when he first
met and conquered Parr. The match will
be In catch as-ca tch-can style, and the
winner will be the victor in two of three
falls. The match will be at catch-weights,
and the English champion will outweigh
the American lightweight champion.
1t is remembered that before Burns
agreed to meet Parr on the other occa-
sion he compelled the Englishman to
train down from l7e to l6e pounds. In
training down to weight Parr claimed to
have been weakened and rendered less fit.
When this statement was made Burns
agreed to wres;le him at catch weights.
Both men are in the city and are in prime
condition.

ON behalf of Frank A. Gotch, heavy
weight champion of America, the sport
ins editor of The Age-Herald hereby
challenges the winner of the Burns-Parr
wrestling match which will occur tonight
at the Hippodrome.
The authority for this challenger was
vested by a telegram yesterday afternoon
from Gotch, dated in Milwaukee, Wis.
The champion will leave to the winner
of the match tomorrow night all partieu-
lars. including the style of the match, the
division of the spoils, the time, the
weights. everything. He simply desires a
match with one of the two best wrest-
lers which have so far appeared in Bir-
mingham.
Gotch Is Known Here.
Gotch is not a stranger here. The fol-
lowers of the game are aware that he
appeared before the local public some
months ago, then the opponent of Tom
Griffin. The match was not enjoyable
for the simple reason that 1t was not
necessary for the champion to exert HIM
self. From the east of his tactics on
that occasion, however, and the strength
and activity that he displayed 1t was re-
vealed indisputably that his title OF
champion came after he had demon
strated his superiority. There is an eff
fort on foot TO have Gotch meet George
Hackenschmidt. champion of all Europe
in st. Louis in April. Gotch, in the
sporting world, has a national reputa-
ton.
Was Farmers" Pupil.
Burns lost the American championship
to Gotch. AS is generally known, Gotch
was a pupil of the Farmer and after
learning all of the tricks possessed by
his instructor turned them to advantage
against him. Burns won the American
championship from Lewis, 1.-THE strang-
ler." in ST. Louis a goodly number of
years ago. Gotch took those laurels
away from the 1owan. The champion
became the victor when he made use of
his famous toe-hold of which he alone
is master and by means of which he has
won so many hard matches.
The people of Birmingham, in case
Gotch meets Parr or Burns, will witness
the most spectacular match OF their
'iIves. Either Burns or Parr will make
it necessary for the champion TO exert
himself, and there are not a few here
who would like to see just what Gotch
