GOTCH STILL WORLDS BEST
WRESTLING CHAMPION FLoPs
POLISH GIANT WITH EASE.
Humboldt Farmer Gains the First Fall
in Dizzy Time Of Six and One.
Fourth Seconds.

Chicago, Ill, June Frank Gotch
retained his title as heavyweight
wrestling champion of the world, win
ming in straight falls from Stanislaus
Zbyszko, of Poland, before 10000 peo-
pie, at the Coliseum. The first fall
went to the Humboldt strong man in
six and one-fourth seconds, with bar
arm and half Nelson. He took the
second with bar arm and wrist lock
in 27:36, after desperately fought
bout in which honors were even for
twenty minutes.
1t was a case of brute strength and
some rudimentary knowledge of the
finer points of wrestling against the
best efforts of a real champion, sci
enced to the extreme-powerful, con-
fdent, and on the aggressive most Of
the time Gotch out.generaled, and
out-classed his ponderous foe in the
first bout which was over in a jiffy.
The second bout developed into a CRU
elling, slam-bang affair from the out
set with Gotch, rendered doubly conf
dent by his first triumph, master at
every turn.
The mat giants closed for a purse
of $4,000, the bulk of which will go
to Gotch. Little betting was reported.
Ferocity a Feature.
Both men were geared for a desper.
ate contest and the big crowd was
treated to battle royal introducing
both men in the roles of demons. Fer.
ocity marked every minute of the mill.
ing. Gotch sprung a surprise on the
crowd by casting aside his far famed
toe lock to make deadly use of other
branches of the game. He was on top
of the Pole in twenty of the twenty.
seven minutes during which the SEQ
ond tussle lasted.
In his dressing room after the match
Gotch took solemn oath forever to
quit the mat game.
"It's my last battle as a champion"
said the big Iowan, in husky tones, as
he rolled over on the rubbing board.
Il am through for good and Leo Par
dello has taken my tights. Never
again for Frank. I'm going home to
lead the simple life, raise cattle and
corn, and to forget my troubles" g..
