Terrible Turk Wins Two of
Three Falls in Wrestling
Bout Last Night.
BUSCH WAS OUTCLASSED.
NEXT MATCH WILL BE BETWEEN
THE TURK AND OLSEN OF IN
DIANAPoLIS WHO is CoNSID-
Erred ONE OF THE BEST.
BY Tort.

Carl Busch, our German friend, who
has been informing the public what
terror he was at Greco-Roman wrest-
ling, had the opportunity of proving
his assertions in the match with Bob
Managoff. the Turk, at the coliseum
last night, but he failed to make good.
In other words the Turk beat him at
his own game. In the first bout after
Carl had placed Bobby squarely on his
shoulders In one minutes and twenty
seconds after the opening OF hostili-
ties. the crowd remarked, Why that
German boy is the cats ankle isn't
hor' After the Turk m the second
bout got the decision after AZ minutes
of hard work, and after he had repeat
cd the trick In the final bout after
eight minutes exertion, the crowd
gased scornfulIy at Busch, its ersewhile
favorite, and made cutting remarks
about him being an exploded phenom.
Biz Charley Olsen, an American,
despite his Yonny Yonson kind of a
name, refereed the bout and gave OK
collent satisfaction. Olsen and Jim
Duxis. Of Lowell, Mass, challenged the
winner olsthe match prior to the first
act Of the German tragedy, and next
wednesday night the people of Rich
mond will see the best wrestling bout
II. fhoseason-Olsen VS.. the Turk. Both
men are Of equal height and weight,
and Olsen is regarded as the best light
heavyweight in the county. He is a
typical looking American athlete, tall,
Win long powerful legs. narrow at the
hips and wonderfully developed about
tho chest and shoulders.
IN the first bout the Turk and Busch
spared for an opening about a min
ute then Busch closed in, got a half
Neeson and placed the Turk on his
shnuader blades. It was clean cut
fall end the crowd applauded heartily.
ID the second bout the Turk twice
ha0the German almost down and Olson
each tina ran his hand under the
shoulders Of Busch to see II each
shoulder blade was touching. After AZ
minutes Of grueling work the Turk
finally succeeded In putting Busch
squarely on the mat. This bout took
the ginger out of the German and he
succumbed In tho third bout in eight
minutes. The Turk, used to wrestling
catch-as-catch-can, which permits holds
below the waist, repeatedly fouled last
evening. forgetting the fact that he was
wrestling Greco Roman. Olsen had a
busy time reminding tho Turk of his
mistakes.
Turk Made Friends.
The Turk last night made hundreds
Of friends through the medium Of his
victory. since he was battling against
4 man who was thoroughly acquainted
with the Greco Roman method Of
wrestling and because he showed him
self to be sportsman. A few times
In excitement the Turk punished
Busch severely. but he fought battle,
an q whole, in a sportsmanlike man
ner. Busch's dirty tactics lost him
many of the friends he had won in
previous matches In this city. Busch
had q boil on his arm which caused
knew that he could cause the German
more suffering by striking the afflicted
member. he did not. The Turk often
times reached below the waist for
holds. which is barred in Greco-Ro-
man wrestling, but this is excusable
when it is taken into consideration
that the Turk is catch-as-can wrest.
Ter and Is not thoroughly at home at
any other sort OF game.
