OMAHA MEN VISIT
WRESTLING TURK
He Thinks They Are Spies--Gives
His Views on Wrestling
and Boxing,
IS a QUESTION OF NERVES
ny ED W. SMITH.

CHICAGO. Nov. ls.--(speciai. )--Break-
ing in on fine nap he was having yes
terday in his room at the Morrison hotel
several spies" from Omaha created the
first rifle OF anger that Yussiff Hussane,
tho Turk. who IL matched TO meet Toe
3stecher In Lincoln Thanksgiving after
:. noon, has shown since he came TO Chi
Z cago TO finish UP his training.
4 Hussane's training partner. Karl
Z schultz. brought the Omaha men into
itusHane's room. innoncently enough, be-
cause they said they wanted 10 see the
Turk. They were introduced to the man
from the Balkan mountains and when
he found out they were from Omaha and
merely wanted TO find out what condition
he was in. the Turk was furious.
You bet. I'm good. right now" he
roared at them. as he spread his bathrobe
J open and gave them flash Ct his shape
You 60 bet ON your man, and I'll bet
you lose your money: that's all got TO
say"
The reception was 80 peppery that the
men from tho west-ot least they said
they were-didn't nnger long.
Hussane made mild break IN his
training one night to 20 up 10 Milwaukee
to see Andre Anderson. who has been
running on the road with him. fight Fred
Fulton. Andre got licked aud this brok,
the Turk all up.
Does Not Train RIGHT.
He no can train the right way" the
TURK said on the way back from the
arena He train like most American and
foreign wrestlers He get Tat and Stay Fat
never get that big body down where Il
stand some punishment
Further discussion along this line
brought out the fact that the Turks al
ways has had an ambition 10 become
tighter. While he admits that he il a
tribe too old Just now--he's 27-he still
has a strong leaning towards the RioN 0
game. He has been around a good deal
with Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman
and veteran trial horse. and has done
considerable boxing with him. Here are
a few IDEAS that the Turk gave me as
matter of comparison between the
wrestling and the boxing game:
When am in condition for a hard
match on the wrestling mat could 40
along for -four or five hours and at the
end feel pretty fresh and not as tired
AZ one could expect.
But when I try the boxing Eame-ah.
that's entirely different I've gone on
and boxed with Flynn several times.
Even though / considered myself In fine
shape physically, strong and well ali
over tire az quickly as n never had
done minutes work 70 flt myself.
noxinE is Different.
why. at the end Of couple Of rounds
OF feinting and jabbing ana some fast
footwork. my arms simply so dead on
me and I have trouble holding them
up in front Of my face. It's the auee-es,
thing ever raw.
III must be that the nervous strain
IN boxing IS much greater than Il Is IN
wrestling. When you grappie with q mas
you get a chance TO rest a little now
and then and can exercise and pot into
action different sets Of muscle. But in
boxing II is all along one line and that
ia where the strain comes in
Perhaps q we'll conditioned boxer
nisht find IL difficult 10 wrestle for any
length Of time without firing Jest ss l
find Il impossible 10 box for more than
five or six minutes without going 10
pieces. It's a strange thing ana I've
never heard & satisfactorily explained. :
