CHICAGO, April 14.-Tonisht's wrest-
ling match between Frank Gotch. Of
Humboldt, Iowa, and Yussiff Mahmout,
of Bulgaria, promises to be n OF the
greatest mat struggles ever seen in this
country. BY some it is believed Gotch
will have more trouble with Mahrnout

Hackepschmidt here a gear ago.
The husky Bulgarian has shown re-
markable ability in all of his matches
in this country. and he has not lost a
single fall. He has failed to throw
certain men in limited handicap bouts.
but he has never been pinned on the
mat for a fall. AS for Gotch, every
trick and a~rtifice of wrestling Is fa-
milisr to him.
