GoTcH rs ALREADY IN SHAPE
Champion works Daily with KIank
for His Matches.

Gotch will not arrive in Omaha for his
match with Perrelli at the Auditorium Fri
day, March &c, until the morning of that
day. He will come directly from Kansas
City, where he will have met Raoul de
Ruuen the night before. He will not re-
quire any period of training in Omaha, as
he is now In excellent shape, writes Emil
Klank. Klank, himself a 2OO-pounder,
wrestles and walks and runs with Gotch
daily and keeps the champion in fine trim.
In addition to this, Gotch's match Thurs
day night at Kansas City with the French
man probably will whet his metal to a
point where is will need no further at
tentuation for the Perrelli wrestle.
The Kansas City Star says the Gotch-
de Rouen match at Convention hall will
draw the largest crowd that ever witnessed
a wrestle. Whereas $500 persons paid to
see Gotch and Hack wrestle, 10000, the
Star says, will pay to see Gotch with the
Frenchman. No matter that de Rouen is
not in the Gotch class, the people will pay
to see the man who twisted the tail OF the
Russian Lion. John Perrelli is admittedly
a better mar than de Rouen and, while
Gotch will be the big drawing card in
Omaha, the attraction will be strengthened
by Perellrs presence. The italian lis a
huge fellow Of immense muscle and skill
and probably will make Gotch work very
hard.
Manager Gillian has made special arrange
ments for seating the large audience that
is sure to turn out to the Auditorium
match.
