masked MARVEL here
IN next WRESTLING BOUT

Alfred W. McCann. writing for the
New York Globe. had the following
to say about the Masked Marvel.
IN the Masked Marvel one sees
combination OF Mars and Mercury.
Here is man who. possessing ordi-
nary physical gifts, has so developed
them that he stands forth the most
interesting and most sensational OF
the crowd OF gladiators with whom he
performs. Weighing at least ten
pounds less than any OF the pur
stars of the tournament, he carries a
handicap which is much greater than
on the surface IL appears.
In the Marvels system of training
he has cultivated his mind as
well as his body His coolness un-
der fire is uncanny. His relentless ag-
gressiveness, even when on the de-
fensive against bigger men. is un-
canny. His sportsmanlike instincts
are developed to a degree that seems
TO make him actually willing TO give
handicap to any rival.
81 have seen him yield every dis
pute, relying solely upon the uncanny
confidence which he possesses in his
own powers. The word uncanny best
describes this superb professional
athlete His beauty from the mask
down is the beauty of Apollo. His
strength I'm proportion to his size is
the strength of Hercules. His yalor
Is the valor of Hector His deliber.
alton under trying situations is a spec
tacle fit for the gods"
All indications presage that the
