Heinie would ask.

HUSSANE ENTERS
DENIAL OF FOUL
Turk Tells Story of First Meeting
with Steoher Two Years
Ago.
UNDERSTOOD MATCH WAS DRAW

nv ED W. SMITH,.
CHICAGO. Nov. 19-(Speciai. )-Yussiff
Hussane claims that he didn't foul Joe
stecher the first time they met I'm Dodge,
Neb.. back in 1913. when Joe was first
coming out as a professional wrestler.
The Turk told the story Of that match
TO little group in local gymnasium the
other day after he had finished a four
hour workout and was getting a rub
down as a finishing touch to a satisfac-
tory spell OF training. He is preparing
for second whirl at the Nebraska won
der. being slated to take him on Thanks
giving afternoon at Lincoln.
Doubtless the thousands Of boosters for
the Nebraska star would like to hear
what Hussane has to say about that first
meeting. Wen give it to you just as It
was outlined to us in the Turks broken
English. He says every word of 1t is the
truth and that Farmer Burns, who was
with him at the time. will vouch for It.
Here It Is:
We first heard OF Stecher some time
during 1913, and Burns decided we could
win a little money by going to Dodge,
his home town. to wrestle him." Hussane
said. 80 we got the match and bet 500
on the side. There was only $50 in the
house, as remember It, and we were
splitting IL seventy-five and twenty-five.
He had his own referee, but didn't mind
that, as 1 thought / could win so de-
cisively that II wouldn't make any diff
ference.
Had stecher on Mat.
TN two minutes had him down and
had half Nelson and a crotch lock on
him. thought had him down. but the
referee wouldn't give It to me. So 1
changed my hold to a scissors and bar
arm lock. and again got him down. This
time again failed to get the referees
eye, and we got to our feet and stood
neck TO neck.
There were no ropes to the ring, and
there were plenty OF arguments. Setcher
stopped and went over and took a sup OF
water. / thought no was ready to quit.
but he came back again and started to
get rough. He gouged me In the eye, but
1 didn't complain about that, for / still
figured I could beat him. We roughed
It all over and off the mat, and he got
a scissors on me off the mat.
HE quit again and went over and took
n drink of water. 1 thought 1t was all
over then. but he came back and we
wrestied some more. At the end Of forty
five minutes Burns suggested that It De
called a draw and we both left the mat
We thought that was fhe way It was
to be decided. but the next day the
referee gave It to Stecher on foul. They
wanted to lynch me all the time and
was glad to get out OF Dodge with my
life.
Rough Match All the Way.
IF there was any biting he did IT, It
was a rough match all the way through
and probably plenty Of fouling on both
sides.
but what's the use of talking about
that match3 We are going to meet again
and this time hope to prove which Is
the better man by winning In straight
falls. think 1 can beat him. otherwise
never would have consented TO the
match. If he beats me. all we'll and
good; I'll be the first to take my hat
off to him and say he is q real cham
pion."
Hussane probably viii leave for Omaha
Sunday and finish his training for the
match there.
