Goteh, Champion '...restler.

To judge from the easy manner in
which Frank Gotch. the worlds cham

nents since his return from abroad 1t
is doubtful II there is a mat artist
living today who Is capable of taking
the title away from him in a contest
with the possible exception of Hack

While Gotch was abroad Yusuf
Mahmout, the Bulgarian. and his nu-
merous press agents were hurting
challenges right and left It the cham
pion Many stories were printed OF
his wonderful strength speed and clev-
orness He was touted as the man
who would surely make Gotch bite the
dust. Mahmout met and defeated sew
eral wrestlers with apparent case dur
ing the champions absence. After
each bout these willy press agents sent
stories abroad of Mabmouts prowess
Finally Gotch's friends persuaded him
/ to come back and meet the Turk
Shortly after tho champion returned
the pair were matched. and the bout
was pulled off In Chicago.
What Gotch did TO Mr.. Mnhmout is
now history He actually handled tho
big Bulgarian as II he were a mere
infant, and when the first fall came
the sultan's subject was In a state oi

Walsh Deserved an Increase.

There certainly must be something
In the charge recently made that the
American league clubs do not pay tho
salaries to their stars that tho Ma
tional league clubs pay to theirs. Take
the case OF Pitcher Ed Walsh of the
Chicago club, for instance. The latter
was the last member OF the American
league "holdout club" to sign his con-
tract and join his team. Early In tho
year Walsh declared he would not
pitch for the White SoX unless he re-
ccIvcd an increase. This President
Comiskey refused to give until the
season was nearly three weeks old,
and then only because Walsh's great
work was missing.
Until three years ago Walsh never
showed any ability as a twirler that
would give him the right to demand
fat salary. In 1906 by his great work
in the box he materially aided the
White Sox in winning the pcnnant. On
good authority IL is stated that he drew
only S2,l00 at that time, In 1907 he
drew an increase, and last year II Is
said that he drew $4,000. Last season
Walsh pitched nearly half the games
I'm which his club took part and won
nearly half the victories credited TO his
toam. The feat OF capturing forty
games in a race like last years Amcri-
can league struggle was a wonderful
feat,

After that Edward Harrlgan engaged
Doane to take Johnny Wild's place for
