SIXTY FALLS IN 40

Frank Gotch once bet $1,000 against

he could throw the Hellenic dispenser

turned out to be one OF the greatest
burlesques in mat annals. 1t was ex-
cruciatingly funny. except to the
Greek. who was a local celebrity in
Aberdeen.
What led up to the fun was the APP
pearance of Duncan Mcmillan, the
wrestler, In Aberdeen. Wash, late in
1904 or early in 1895. Mcmillan took
ON the Greek in the Edison theater, a
small moving picture house. and a few
days later there was a match with
one Jimmy ------. last name forgot

with the then almost unknown Gotch
Jimmy took his turn at the Greek, and
on that night GOtch was present, Al

60 times In 60 minutes. and he placed

There was capacity house. Gotch
did not take a fall during the first Is
minutes. He didn't. care to. but re-
manned entirely on the defensive, and
let the Greek work. And. by the way,
Goteh made him keep busy. and then.
after Jimmy gave him warning that it

seen. all within the rules. was what
the crowd got, and soon the Greek tried
the running away stunt to kill time
and win that $1,000. But the stage was
too small and he couldn't get far. Gotch
would collar and toss him high above
his head by way OF impressing the
Greek with his superiority. Once the
