New York, Jan. 2S.-The eyes or
the wrestling world are now centered
on Joe Stecher, the Nebraska Farm
or Lad" who has come East in an
attempt to substantiate his claims to
the catch-as- catch-can wrestling
championship.
A match has already been arranged
between Stecher and Wladek
Zbyszko, the star of the International
Wrestling Tournament, now in pro-
gress here. Other matches are to be
arranged later.
Although Stecher comes here in
the wake Of a great reputation little
first hand information is obtainable
about him. even from men who have
opposed him on the canvas mat.
Charlie Cutler, ex-champion, who
was thrown by Stecher in match
at Omaha, Neb., last Fourth of July,
writes:
Although have wrestled Stecher,
I really know very little about him.
I have seen him only twice and have
not spoken more than a dozen words
to him. To other fellows, as well
as myself, who have met him, he is
