" tue "TestierS, OUT am frank TO say
that the grapplers never have had

have had nearly twenty-five years Of
experience in newspaper work, dur.
ing which have met up with dozens
OF fighters, fight managers and pro.
moters. and wrestlcrs. My experience
with the whole caboodle Is that the
wrestler is the only decent one OF all.
BY a wrestler. mean the smart ones
who live Clearly and keep in condi.
ton. The fighter, nine times out of
ten, Is a embarrassing CRATER and
cannot be trusted ! have had more
or less chance to do some observing,
which has convinced me that the un.
popularity of wrestling Is due to a
conspiracy on the part of the fighters.
the managers and the promoters. In
spite Of this. predict that wrestling
Is about to come back as popular
sport.
Boxing has been styled the manly

the sort. The ability 10 box won't
save any man who is in. tight hole
and pitted against rough.and.tumble

to write this line. II there Is a fighter
anywhere who might say he would
like to be shown, you can bet your
last nickel that he would not risk a
cent on the outcome.
Most OF the stuff in newspapers
about fake wrestling. matches may
be traced right back 10 the desire OF
writer's to be flippant or because they
are taking money from somebody con.
nected with tho fight game.

is there Is no such animal. The fight.

would be welcome. The fighters are
mess Of grafters. In truth, most Of
them belong on the rockpile. Gotch
is smart. level.headed fellow who
never tasted liquor in his life. Zbyszko
is graduate physician from the Uni.
versity Of Warsaw. Compare the Sui.
livans, the Corbets, the Johnsons and
their ilk with Gotch and Zbyszko. 1t
can't be DONE" i
Referring to the Welsh.Shugrue
bouts, Mr.. Sherman says: Had tho
wrestlers pulled this sort OF stuff,
every sport writer in New York would
be bawling fake at the top of his
voice. II boxers meet twice or thrice,
that's all o. x, but if the wrestiers
do the same thing it's sure sign that
they were framing in order to cince
the return dates. II Welsh and Shu.
