 There is no more interesting sight than that of Pepito, playing Liszt s tene-picture, which describes in piano language St. Francis walking on the waves.

Never. in my professional career be- fore a great match have I dared to predict the outcome. What I feel is my secret-to proclaim that l will be the winner sounds too much to me like boast ing. I always respect my opponents as gentlemen and I respect their ability, for to belittle them wrongly is to belittle myself.
 The desire to re-establish myself in the eyes of the American people to me is greater than to win the match, though possibly 1t may be said that the only way 1 can do this is to win. Yet, to me. there is a difference, and perhaps you understand what I mean.
 I will face MT Gotch tomorrow in the best condition of my career. l have learned more from Dr. Roller and Amer iucus of the catch-as-catch-ca style than [ have ever known before. l have trained faithfully; l have done everything don't like 10 do, and kept away from everything l do like to do in order that I may meet this supreme test of my wrest- ling career with a sound body and clear mind.
 And, yes, why not? You may say for me that l hope to sail for England on September the worlds wrestling cham pion.
