Joe Turner Meets Fritz Han
son for the Middle-weight
Championship at Gayety.
PRELIMINARY GOOD ONE

Easily the largest crowd that has wit
messed a wrestling match in this city
during the past season will be on hand
tonight at the big graphing carnIvar
which will be held a the Gayety Theater
as a farewell benefit testimonial for
Manager George Peck. From the ad-
vance sale of seats this prediction is
made.
Mr.. Peck has managed the Gayety for
the past seven seasons and is given credit
by the local followers Of the mat game
as being the one who put the game on
the Well-balanced basis it can now boast
of in this city.
In this testimonial carnival Joe Turner
the mddle-weight champion of the world
will meet Fritz Hanson. the middle
weight title holder from England. Turner
has been on the road since his last ap-
pearance here and has met with the best
of success. He is in the best of condi-
ton and stands ready t. put up the
match OF his career.
In Hanson. Turner will be meeting one
of the best. mat artists that has ever
appeared here. Hanson has been
wrestling at Madison Square Garden in
New York, and has shown the public
in Manhattan that he is well-versed in
all the arts of the ancient mat game
l'iIerent promoters IN the East nave
tried to match these boys for a finish
affair but with no avail Manager Peck
obtained the signatures Of these grapplers
after dickering which has lasted over a
month. and as there is great deal of
rivalry between them. some fast and hard
work Is expected. Turner Is the holder
OF the Richard X. Fox Police Gazette
belt. and has posted the same against the
Lord Lonsdale silver trophy which is
held by the English grappler
In the preliminary bout which will
open the performance. Bumps Turner, a
brother of the middle-weight titleholder.
is slated to meet Sailor Nokes. Of the
United States Navy. These boys are
light heavy-weights. and as Nokes is the
in this class among Uncle
Sans oluejackets. Young Turner will
be compelled to hustle to secure the ver-
dict. Bumps has been working hard the
past three weeks for this match and
claims to be ready to put up the bout
Of his career.
