BIG WREs IllNG MATCH
SATURDAY EVENING
Alex Jarvinen, Champion Greco
Roman Wrestler, and Mehmet
Kotrali, the Turk, Will Meet at
Finnish Socialist Hall.

Virginia followers Of the wres-
Ting game, of which there are
many, will be given an opportuni-
ty Of seeing some really good mat
work on Saturday evening, when
at the Finnish Sosialist Hall, Alex
Jarvinen, today the world s cham
plon Graeco-Roman wrestler, and
Mehmet Kotrali, the Turk, who
until recently has beef trained by
lussif Mahmouth, the great Turk
ish champion and one Of the best
wrestlers in the whole world, will
meet in finish match.
Jarvinen, today holding the un-
disputed Graeco-R Roman champion
ship of the world, has been an en-
thusiast in all kinds Of sports from
his boyhood. When a young boy
ne joined an athletic society in
his home town in Finland, and for
some years was recognized as the
cleverest boy skier in his part of
the country. When he was eigh-
teen he went to Helsingfors, the
capital Of Finland, where he join
ed two of the leading athletic
clubs and gained considerable
fame.
Mr.. Jarvinen had not been in
Helsingfors long before it was dis
covered that he was somewhat of
a wrestler, and he began to de-
vote considerable time to that
work. His unusual size and
strength counted in his early
training, and during the first part
that he wrestled he took part in
contests in all parts of Finland,
and in 1910 he won his first lham-
pionship, that of Helsingfors dis
trict. Last year Mr.. Jarvinen
was declared champion of Finland.
Soon afterwards he won the title
of RUSSIAN Champion" in a Sc
ries of matches in St. Petersburg
Russia.
1t was a short time later that he
was awarded the amateur cham
pionship Of the world in the Ora
eco-Roman style, when he won in
tournament at Berlin, Germany
where 100 wrestlers were entered
Twenty Of the contestants were
havyweights, but Jarvinen won
from every man he was matched
against. Since then the young
Finn has taken part in many con.
tests in Russia, Finland, Sweden
Germany and other European
countries. One of Mr.. Jarvinen' 5
victories since he was declared the
worlds champion in the Graceo
Roman style, was his defeat ir
Abo, Finland, of G. Zurich, one
of the best known heavyweights
wrestlers in Europe.
