Tells of Mat Experiences, Describing
 Victories and Defeats

Although Adolphe Myers, the Ne | braska wrestler who came to the Salt l River valley last week in search of a match has written d letter to Ed ! Brown of Tucson, the game mat man who wrote to The Republican d short ! time back asking for a tussie with any good man available, nothing has been heard in reply, and Myers is still undecided as to what his plans will 1 be. Local fans who have met Myers and have had a talk with him. have
 a good opinion of his capability. and if he were without his credentials his powerful physique and air of game
 ness would speak for him
 Last night he reported his bad luck with the Tucson boy. and stated the
 likelihood of his leaving unless some
 good wrestler decided to put on a match with him. He produced q pie

 which showed him in d fighting pose.
 and described several matches. in a
 number of which he had come off
 winner. but the events in which he
 had been Worsted were described as
 fully as the others
 "I am sorry the man who is called
 The Terrible Swedr has left the
 country. for from the things I hear
 about him here he must have been
 a pretty good man. and | would like
 to try my mettle against him. If |
 had succeeded in arranging a match
 with Johnson it would be the second

 Terrible Swede." for a little over six months ago I met husky fellow
 named Nelson. who was Wiping the floor mp with the Kansas Wrestlcrs and he had been given the name of Terrible Swede.' just like Johnson
 How did I come out in the match Well. he bested me thirty pounds in weight and we were wrestling for the best two out of three I won the first fall in two hours and thirty eight minutes. with the Chancery and bar arm holds. and the second in six with the hammer lock and scissor hold. II made me a good TeRas, utation in Kansas. but l don't want | to go through another match like i that if l can help it The first fall ! was only gained after a long, slow | grill. and he gave me tight run i every minute of the time.
 T have wrestled in a good many events. and I remember a match ! ! had with Westergard. in Lincoln Neh.. about three months ago. That was before he met Gotch on the Pacific coast. and he was in as good shape at the time he met me as he was when he went mp against the big champion. so. of course. my chances were rather slim. He had agreed to throw me three times in one hour and he certainly did. although l gave him a hard tussle in the first bout. am a great admirer of Westergard, md don't think it hurt my reputation .o be thrown by him as he weighed thirty pounds more than did, and s one of the best 'Second-ClaSs wres- lers in the country. Of course. you lnow what I mean. They're all sec ,nd-class but Gotch Hes the one md only who has the right to pose IS q wrestler of the first class.
 Myers is a well built man of l72 pounds weight. and if he arranges a match with the Tucson wrestler he will agree to throw him three times n ninety minutes. Brown weighs a title over 150, and might consider uch an agreement.
