Leo Pardello, fun maker of the
wrestling mat, at one time imagined
he could down Frank Gotch The tia
liam was heralded as one of the tough
est men in the game and Gotch
thought he was taking on a big con-
tract in agreeing to an encounter with
this fighting demon from sunny
Italy. Both wrestlers were disillu-
stoned November %. 1906, at the
Brookes' Casino, Chicago, when they
met in a finish match After this de-
feat Pardello devoted his talents to
comedy, and as a mirth producer has
made countless thousands laugh
Gotch had heard that Pardello was a
bone breaker and prize fighter. He
was appraised that he would be fortu-
nate to escape with both ears intact
and all his teeth in his head after en-
countering the latest sensation from
Latin Europe.
The night of the match found the
pavilion packed almost to suffocation.
Pardello rushed at Gotch like a wild
man when the referee signaled the
start, but Gotch side-stepped him.
Gotch went to his hands and knees,
lifted Pardello in the air and hurled
him to the mat. This was the signal
for Pardello to employ the rough tao
tics for which he was noted. He
gouged Gotch with his elbow and
slugged him in the mixups The crowd
Kissed Pardello but Gotch had learned
his opponents actual strength and
took these thrusts lightly.
Soon, however. Pardello showed his
temper and resorted to the Marquis of
Queensbury code. He came to his
feet and made swing at GOtch and
the crowd again Kissed. Gotch lunged
and brought Pardello to the mat again.
Gotch was working for a hold to Sc
cure the first fall. He bad slipped over
a crotch and half nelson and was grad
ually forcing the shoulders of his OPP
ponent to the canvas. Pardeilo
reached over in fit of rage, grabbed
the Iowan by the hair and pulled a

TRIAL YACHTS ARE FAVORED
Taehtsmen Are Of Opinion That Four
Vessels Should Be Entered in
TIM Elimination Races.

Racing yachtsmen of the United
States are of the opinion that In order
10 insure a successful defense of the
Americas cup next year against Sir
Thomas Upton, it will be absolutely
necessary under the present condi-
lions to build no fewer than four
yachts to enter the elimination races,
which should take place some time
next August, after contesting in as
man races during the summer as pos
sible.
1t is conceded by many that build
ing a 75-foot sloop under the present
rules for the first time, even by the
Herreshoffs, is mare or less of a risk
when there is no vessel of that d.
mension ready to use as a trial horse.
For this reason it is deemed advis-
able to build as many sloops as pos
sible. ana by different designers, SO
as to give both the yachts and their
crews plenty of practice in racing,
that the best boat may be chosen to
meet the Shamrock w off Sandy
Hook next fall.
The material for the building of the
first yacht-the one that the syndi-
cate headed by Henry Walters has or
dered-is being assembled at the
Herreshoff yard at Bristol, R. l., and
1t is understood that the keel of the
new boat will be laid before Thanks
giving day.
1t is quite likely that the keel of
the Shamrock " will be laid about
the same time as that of the HERES
hof's sloop. AS usual, the utmost
secrecy will be maintained from start
to finish in the construction of both
yachts, so that no information may
leak out concerning the details of the
design of either hulls or sail plans
until they are ready to race.

whole handful of Gotch's hair from the
roots
That proved the downfall of Pardel-
10 as an asplrant for the highest
wrestling honors. In a wild mixup
the wrestlers shifted about the mat
and in less than thirty seconds Gotch
had Pardello's left foot up his back
for the toe hold There was a sharp
snap audible to those at the ringside.
Pardello, with groan, fell TO the mat
in defeat. An examination showed that
a ligament had been snapped, but the
game italian came back for the second
fall, which Gotch won in a few sec
onds.
Gotch made a speech, in which he
told the crowd he deeply regretted the
accident to Pardello. 1t was one of the
few times the worlds champion has
lost his temper on the mat
THE day after the match, says
Gotch, "a friend of mine met Pardello
hobbling about the streets of Chicago.
What do you think of GOtch now?'
my friend asked him.
Gotcha?' was his answer Why.
Gotcha. he very fina da fell He get
ona the mata and go toa da wrestle.
Gotcha, he cracka da joke. One fina
da joke. I stoppa to laugh. Gotcha,
he catcha my foota and twist him upa
da backa. Oh, yes. Gotcha, he very
fina da fell
After this match Pardello seemed to
take a proprietary interest in the
champion. After every match Gotch
had in Chicago his wrestling tights
disappeared Pardello took them for
souvenirs. After his last match in
Chicago Gotch ordered a boy to get his
tights and see that they were carried
to his hotel Pardello noticed that
the boy had them in charge After
Gotch departed from the dressing
room he approached the youngster
and took the grip, saying Gotch had
ordered him to carry it to his hotel.
Thus he secured an imposing addition
TO his trophy room that night
