KANSAS CITY MAN AFTER
SOMEONE TO BEAT GOTCH
Says 1t May Be Mahmout, but Will
Get Another Turk if Needed
to Down Champion.

Kansas City, Mar. George Kennedy
the local wrestling man. is going to try
TO win the worlds wrestling championship
with Mahmout and If he fails-and he
probably will-he is going to make anoth-
er trip to Turkey and see if he can land
a real champion. Kennedy made the trip
last summer and returned with three
Turks. They failed to deliver and are
now back with the sultan. But he has
Mahmout even if Yusiff isn't his own
importation. Anto Pierri brought Nah
mout to this country last year and for
while it looked as though he had man
TO beat GOtch The Turk cleaned up
from every angle, but when il came TO
the Gotch proposition he was found want
ing Ii was an easy match for the cham
piOn. He threw the Turk twice in TWEEN
ty minutes and rlrned the trick so clev-
erly that Mahmout caught the first boat
back for Turkey.
But at that, nine-tenths of the wres-
ting followers believe that Gotchs hurry
up victory over the Turk was a fluke.
Mahmout didn't show that he know any
game at that time. although prior to the
match with Gotch he had thrown dozens
of good men. He tore into Gotch like
bull and left himself wide open.
Gotch said after the match that Nah
mout was the strongest man he ever tack
led. He may be strong, but he was aw-
full easy to throw. George Kennedy says
that Yusiff could throw Zybscko twice in
an hour and that he, Kennedy, believed
that Mahmout could throw Goteh. Well,
il Mahmout can throw Gotch or even
Zybscko, he is 100 per cent better than he
was a year ago or his end of the game
was badly scrambled last year by Anton
Pierri.
