'COTCH COMES BACK TO SHINE IN
WORLD WRESTLING TOURNAMENT
BY HUGH s. FUIIERTON.

By HUGH s. FULLERTON.
Frank Goth is coming back!
The Humboldt farmer has signed
a contract to wrestle the best
heavyweights in America-for the
movies
Before the champion tackles his
challengers a series of elimina-
ton contests are to be held that
will result in perhaps the great
est wrestling tournament ever
held.
All the great grapplers are to
engage each other, and the win
ner is to wrestle Gotch before an
audience of limited size and with
a battery of moving picture cam
eras catching every move.
There will not be any RE-
makes on those films, for the
Iowa farmer has a contract for
100000 for three bouts with the
wrestlers who have, IN the pre-
liminaries proved their right TO
meet him.
The first will net Gotch $25,-
900, the second $4,000 and the
third $4,000. All three are to
be decided within 80 days.
Goteh signed the contract with
the Selig company in Chicago and
at once returned to his farm in
Iowa to go into active training for
the matches. He has assembled
his old training force on the farm
and started the work by getting
his $4,000 corn crop husked and
into the cribs.

Most of the statesmen I interviewed
expressed the belief that Presiden,
Wilson and the Pope could bring
about speedy peace and Professor

that upon ascertaining the terms II
peace from the countries at war the
mediators would practically be in 4

During my stay IN London last Au

November were very persistent. They
were all apparently emanatfng from
German sources or the impression
was created in the British press that
the peace propaganda was made In
Germany. At that time the hope OF
the people In England was conferred
upon decisive and speedy victory In
the Dardaneiles. That. It was be-
