the ropes. Mahmout grasped the ropes

Gotch tented for a toe hold and
then encircled Mahmout's near leg

over on his side and Gotch secured a

strength broke a waist hold, and went

april Ia, 1909. Gotch met and de-
Ieated Yussif Mahmout. Bulgarian. at
the Dexter Park pavilion in Chicago.
IL was one of the great battles of the
world champions career. Although
the match lasted less than half an
hour vastly more wrestling of the
strenuous kind was packed into it
than in the championship battle be-
tween Hackenschmidt and Gotch.
Mahmout had defeated every wres-
tier of prominence except Gotch in
America. He had proved a whirlwind
against such wrestlers as Cutler,
Americas and Beell. Gotch knew he
was to face a dangerous wrestler of
the aggressive type. He knew Nah
mout possessed great strength and
unusual endurance. The worlds cham
pion objected to the Bulgarian's wres-
ting in his bare feet. Anton Pierri,
Mahmout's manager, explained that it
was customary for wrestlers to crap
pie in their bare feet in Bulgaria and
Turkey. The Turk finally consented
to forfeit $500 for this infraction of
the rules.
Gotch had trained faithfully for this
match, realizing that he was to be op-
posed by a foe Of exceptional class
and as game as any wrestler who
ever stepped on the padded canvas.
Constant drill on the mat and long
sprints on the road had put him in
splendid condition.
When the referee called time, Gotch
backed away from his corner, wheeled
about with a determined look on his
face and rushed into the referee hold
with the Bulgarian. Mahmout seemed
a trifle nervous.
Gotch rushed in with the evident
intent of making short work of his
opponent. He pulled Mahmout for
ward with head hold and the Bull
garian looked worried. Gotch tried
for an arm hold, but Mahmout ducked
away. The wrestlers milled it in fast
fashion. There was plenty of action.
Mahmout rushed for leg hold but
Gotch lodged away. Gotch bored in
and Mahmout pushed him away. Gotch

They are merely suggestions to that

grave faults are found in their pro-

certainly accept them.
What the new federation will GER

NO POSSIBILITY OF HELP
Actor Had Been Called on So often
That Further Assistance Was
Out of the Question.

When September Morn was in it's
final week of rehearsals a bare spot
in act III. gave unbounded annoyance
to the actors, and the managers, the
librettist, who was appealed to again
and again to do something to brighten
a scene which was simply talk, and
yet could not be cut out without
throwing awry the stage directors
scheme of songs, dances and costume
changes. The librettist at length
made this appeal to Dave Lewis, the
star of the piece:
Say, old fellow, you've been a
comedian for 20 years and must have
a trunkful of hokum. Won't you dig
down into it and fish up something
that will help US over this spot?"
Mr.. Lewis reply was:
1--WE been an actor for 20 years,
and | had a trunkful of hokum. But
I've dug down SO often fixing up the
first and second acts that the trunks
empty and there's hole in the bot
