much enthused by the promise Of one
Of the best wrestling tournaments
that has ever been pulled of in Gov.

never been offered to the sport lovers
| of st. Tammany parish to witness a
mat performance such as is promised

T. Gabriel. "best two in three falls, %
ts named as the champion heavy
weight of Australia. a country that
produces some of the finest specimens
Of physical manhood. He has wrestl.
ed all over the United States and
Europe, and has always maintained
"a rtDltatien n as a hard man to con-
cuer. The celebrated Turkish wrest.
Ter, Hussane. failed in an attempt
to throw the Doctor on New Year.
day at Dallas, Texas, in 1911. The
n.atch continued such a length OF
time that the audience became tired
and the bout was discontinued. When
the Doctor went on the mat he weigh
I'd 205 pounds and when he went OF.

26O pounds, also failed to throw DR.
Feltus.

ing physician, but having a desire tc

and scientific knowledge as an athlete

pected.

Chas. Dell best two in three falls, is
also a good man. This match prom
ises to be very interesting, and VIII
probably be the most hotly contested
as the two men are evenly matched
Dell is q good wrestler and can be
relied on to do his best to carry of
the honors for Covington.
Tony Gabriel has always been in
