SAYS HE'S A STAR
Farmer Burns Predicts Big
Things for Plestina.
He Thinks Big Serbian Is of
Championship Caliber.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, March 20-If there
ever was a man capable of judging
the ability and class of a wrestler
that man is Farmer Burns.
The veteran Iowa grappler, long
retired from active competition, laid
lamps on Frank Gotch years ago and
predicted that he could be the world
champion if he wanted to.
Now he has said the same thing
about Martin Plestina, the six-foot
standardization, who claims that
the wrestling trust is keeping him
from competing in matches which
will give him a chance to show his
class, because he refuses to do as the
trust dictates.
"PleStina has everything necessary
to become champion" says Farmer
Burns, who has taught the big fell
low all he (Burns) knows about the
mat game. And Burns has forgotten
more about wrestling than the aver
age wrestler ever learns.
Has Good Manager.
Joe Marsh, himself retired wrest-
Ter, who once managed the great
Frank Gotch. is now Plestinas mana
ger. He came to New York recently
with his grappler, determined to
show up the wrestling trust" and
the arguments he put forth in be-
half of his man are strong enough
to convince most anyone that Pies

''Plestina was a stable mate and
trainer for the country's best wrest-
lers for a number of years. said
March. He travelled around with
them from Gotch down, and Gotch
once told him he could rise to the
heights in wrestling if he would go
to Farmer Burns and let the veteran
teach him the tricks of the game.
Can't Get Matches.
"PleStina went to Burns. He spent
nearly eighteen months with the for
mer wrestling star, and when he had
learned the fine points he tried to
get matches. But he was frozen out
He has beaten such men as Cutler,
Santell, Ordeman and many others,
including Jack Taylor, of Canada,
who has the trust wrestlers scared to
death. But he has been denied
matches because he won't do as the
trust wants him to.
He is now claiming the title, and
he will lay 1000 that he can throw
either Caddock or Zbyszko twice in
ninety minutes, or will guarantee to
throw any other wrestler in the world
the best two out of three. He'll even
let Caddock, Stecher or Zbyszko4 have
their favorite holds to start the
match $500 .f7g
No wrestler could offer more than
Plestina is offering. He should get
his chance.
