islaus Zbyszko, worlds champion
wrestler, who wrung the crown from
stranger Lewis only few weeks
ago, with Paul Domke, Sank Centres
heavyweight pride. The bout will
take place at the Junior high school
auditorium in this city Tuesday even
ing, June IA.
| The match was closed Monday
afternoon following an exchange Of
kilograms between Mr. Domke and
Zbyszko's manager.
Zbyisko is one of the greatest men
in the wrestling game that the world
has ever known, and the most pro-
missing of any of the title holders
since Frank Gotch. A giant in figure
and strength this man Zbyszko found
but little difficulty in snatching the
title away from Lewis, the man
whose name struck terror to heavy
weight prospective champions for
many months.
On the other hand, Farmer Domke,
Sank Centres pride, gives every
evidence of being the best match the
champion has come in contact with
since he won the worlds title crown.
The champ outweighs Domke by
40 pounds, but the man who
gave the famous Gotch the battle of
his career, is in every respect able
to put up classy and entertaining
scrap with the worlds champion
when the two meet here on June ID.
81 have never been in better form
than I am today" Domke told his
newspaper friends Immediately after
/ closing for the coming bout. 'My
previous matches have all been mere
workouts, and 1 am fit at fiddle
now that / am to meet the greatest
wrestler of the age"
| The message from J. H. Norman,
Zbyszko's manager came from Boston
Monday in answer to a challenge for
warded to the champion by Domke,
and reads as follows:
"Will bring Zbyszko. to Sank Gen.
tire June IA, Is or 16 for 35 per cent
of gross receipts, with guarantee that
Zbyszko's share will not be less than
$500. If satisfactory, wire and l will
forward cuts and photographs"
The answer to the champ follows:
"Your wire date o. k. for June ID;
will guarantee your share not less
than $500. Forward photographs and
cuts at once"
The bringing of the worlds cham
pion to Sank Centre marks the great
est sporting event in the history Of
the city, and the big problem con-
fronting the American Legion was a
suitable place in which to hold the
bout. The Junior high school audi
forum has been selected as the best
place to hold the match.
This match is expected to draw
fans, newspaper men and ricture men
from all over the state ana lmmed-
late vicinity. 1t will be the first OPP
portunity many will have had to wit
ness worlds champion in action.
There will be no handicap in the
match here June 18th. Farmer DOM
Ike is not airing any of his secret am
billions, but is is well understood
wrestler, that his coming match with
fact among those close to the Dig
the champion is but stepping stone
which may eventually lead to landing
the big time crown in the Sank Cen
tire camp.
This affair will give Domke fine
chance to gauge himself and compare
his chances with those of remark
able wrestler. The experiences IN
he ring here will govern the train
NO career of Domke for a champ
onship bout which is almost sure to
'ollow.
