Arrives Today On His Farewell Tour

counter the men are at work all of The
time. Hardly a minute passes that
each does not have to summon the very
last onnce Of his strength either on the
defense or aggressivcly.
Gotch Quick as Cat.
Gotch ready for a mat bout is an
impressive figure. the most impressive
in his way that the world has ever
seen. His great muscles bulge, but
their 1.-THE play contrasts with the ply
sical development of the merely strong
man who can lift weights, but whose
muscles are too clumsy in response TO
his brain, to make them of much use
for any other purpose. Gotcb is the
quickest big man the world has ever
seen. This agility will be noticed to-
morrow night when Demetral, who him.
self is exceedingly quick, tries his ia
nous dive for Gotch 3 knees. That is
sure to be one Of Demetral's surprises,
providing Gotch gives him time enough
to try surprise. The Greek is really
formidable in his class and he is the
past master Of Furnishing an opponent.
For that reason if for no other hun.
drods who saw the Greek torture
Tnohey's Turk are anxious to see
Gotch give the Greek as good as the
Greek gave the Turk. Demetral is
tbirty-1ve to forty pounds lighter
than Gotch, but he can remain on the
defensive all the time AS he will he
called the victor if he remains an hour
on the mat without Gotch throwing
him. IT is safe prognostication, how
ever, that if Demetral stays half
hour he will fry his famous dive. not
withstanding the fact he is supposed
TO devote his whole ability to defend
ing himself Demctral has great con
fdence in that dive and ii is doubtful
if anyone less than Gotch or Mahmout
can afford to laugh at that trick.
To Demonstrate Toe Hold.
The toe hold is barred but Gotch
repertoire. Because his most famous
hold is barred, Demetral can hardly
hope to escape punishment. Gotch al
wavs has something new and it usually
hurts.
Many spectators are anxious to see
for themselves lust what Gotch s IA
nous toe hold is. 80 Gotch has con
sented to give demonstration of that
hold. He will probably demonstrate
it with Mahmout. When the toe hold
is used in an actual match the move
that few of the spectators realize just
what is happening until the announce
ment is made: ''Gotch Won with the
toe hold, /"
In this demonstrations, however
Gotch will 90 about it so deliberately
! that every one can understand lust how
| the famous toe hold is used and what
| its effects are. This feature alone
would be worth going to see, but be

match which is bound to be funny fol
everybody except Demetral
| There will also be q bout between
Mahmout and Emil Rogers. Mahmout
