champion of England, which win take
place on September 8 Many have
picked Wells as a likely candidate to
fight Jack Johnson, and the fight on
September 8 Will be n turning point
one way or another In the aspirantS
chances. Wells is no better than an
amateur, so far as prestige goes. al
though Eugene Corri. the official ref
cree of the National Sporting club,
says that, In his opinion, Bombardier
could give the negro champion live
ly battle,
Hugh Mcintosh has signed a con
tract whereby Wells will be under
his management for some time TO
come and would not be surprised to
see the Australian promoter take the
Englishman to Australia with him.
Wells Is an ex-soldler In the Brit
isb army and but recently returned
from India The Wells-Smith go will
be staged In Kings hall and Jimmy
Britt has been looking ovor the ar
rangements for Mr.. Mcintosh,
Since the coming OF CANA. the
great wrestler Of India, there has
been a revival OF interest In wrestling
In this country. To watch CANA at
work is to realize that one Is look
ing at a master of his craft He Is
there on tho mat TO get his man
down on his shoulders, and 1t 10 OBJ
vious that the paramount thought In
the Indians mind is that the quicker
his opponent Is defeated the greater
is the credit due to himself,
Wrestles All Time.
He is not wrestling with one eye on
his adversary and one on his spec
tators. He Is not specializing on the
effect his wrestling may have on fu-
ture engagements. At the moment
there i5 only one thing TO be done;
to put his man down as soon as may
be.
There is no wasting of time playing
for head holds or holds of any kind
He doesn't play for holds at all; he
Eoes in and takes them, and should
1t happen that his opponent Is clever
enough to avoid the first attack, he
also has TO be ready 10 meet the
next, which come upon him with
Lighting rapldity.
Qulckness is perhaps the Indian
champions quality which most I'm
press the onlooker. The latter Is apt
TO overlook the tremendous force
which is concentrated In the Indians
rapid movement Gotch i5 said TO be
quick, he has laughed at all the
European wrestlers he has met be-
cause of their elephantine slo@neSs,
The cinematograph pictures OF his
contests with Hackenschmidt and
Zybsco proved that by comparison
with them he was quick, He has
declared, and he has realized, that
quickness is strength, that ouickness
in u wrestling bout is of infinitely
more Importance than mere physical
bulk and ponderously teXerted
strength: but il ever he met Cana 1t
would be interesting to see how he
compares In this respect With his
challenger He Will be up against a
man who has at least equally as great
appreciation of the value OF quick
ness as himself and possibly greater
eXecutant power.
But the strength is In Cana also.
One can see it in the fine proportions
of his figure the enormously deep
chest, the strong loins. the huge
thighs and powerful. rounded arms.
Muscle Is There.
He has no such muscular develop
ment chart as Hackenschmidt He
has not the gross bulk of Zbysco.
There is nothing particularly over
powering in his appearance. Beside
such a giant as Padoubny, the Cos
sack, he would appear comparative
ly small man, but the muscle Is there.
and obviously under nerve control of
the highest order. The strength OF
