GOTCH V|R 7 j ALLY
MATCHED WITH
MAHMOUT
READY TO LEAVE LONDON TO DE.
FEND CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST
TURK-PURSE OF $4,000 Of
FEREp FOR CONTEST.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-It is practically
certain Frank Gotch, the worlds cham.
pion wrestler, and Yussiff Mahmout,
the Bulgarian who has demonstrated
his class SO conclusively in the short
time he has been in this country, will
meet in Chicago In the near future.
According II reports from London,
Gotch has about given up his attempt
to get George IIackenschmidt, the ex-
Russian lion, 10 give him another
match, and is 10 return to this country
and take a fling at Mahmout and. in.
cidentally, big purse.
II Gotch returns soon the match
will probably be held In the Coliseum
In March. 1t is said the Empire Ath-
letIc club, the nom de plume of the
men who have been holding the bouts
at the Seventh Regiment armory, will
put up purse of $4,000 for the cham
pionship bout. That is a heap OF
money.
Antonio Pierre, the manager of
Mahmout. says his man Is more than
willing to meet Gotch. Pierre holds
MGhmout to be a better man than
Hackenschmidt, and in addition the
Turk is said to be no gutter in a
hard match Yusslff and his manager
stand ready TO post substantial for
felt TO meet Gotch at any time IL may
be required.
Joe Coffey. matchmaker OF the En-
pire Athletic club, has wired the offer
Of the $4,000 purse to Gotch at Lon
don, and Is expecting an answer from
the champion any time. II looks as
though Gotch were trifle homesick
and does not like London any too well.
Besides. $4,000 is a lot OF money, no
matter how the division is made, and
the apparent impossibility Of another
bout with Hack has caused him TO
turn his eyes toward America.
Mahmout will remain in America
until he gets a chance at Gotch. He
believes he can beat Frank and Is
ready 10 sacrifice lot to get a chanceI
at the Iowa champion. IL was with
Gotch in view he came TO this coun-
try. or course, he had TO meet a 10.
of the weaker ones before he could
demand a match with the champion.
His successive and decisive defeats o.
Tom jenkins. Fred Beell, and Amer
icus are enough TO satisfy wrestling
fans and promoters that Gotch is tho
only man in the wrestling game that
can beat Mahmout-if he can.

Then came Fitzsimmons. the freak

he never scaled over 1875 pounds in
any OF his fights. Fitz stood feet l

light. The thing that made IL pos
sible was his spider-like legs. They
had the ordinary pipe-stem of COM
merce beaten 10 pulp. Jeffries, while
only throe-quarters OF an inch taller
than Fitz, was nearly a hundred
pounds heavier.
Tommy Burns looks like pigmy
among giants when you notice only
his height. But he weighs 1872 pounds
and some times more than that He
stands five feet eight inches. He Is
built like Joe Walcott, close TO the
ground, but "mahty pow'ful."
