Dietz in order for Zbyszko to show at his best before local wrestling fans, decided to select Jalensky as the champions opponent.
 Jalensky is the veteran of many mat bouts, having met and conquered all of the well known heavyweights abroad. He is reported to weigh about 220 pounds and is slippery as an eel in action.
 Zbyszko needs no introduction to local sportdom as to past perform ances, who have followed his climb up to the top rung in the champion ship ladder.

Zbyszko 70 Face Tough
 Opponent Ha Russ Champ

Roller, Ed Lewis, and Tom Jenkins Previous to sailing for these shores he had pinned down the shoulders of Nouralah, the famous Turk. His ability therefore, was unquestioned and a match with Gotch was arranged. The match was contested in June, 1910, in Chicago, and it resulted in the first and only defeat Zbyszko ever suf- fered. He had always claimed it was an unfair one and that Gotch took an illegitimate advantage of him.
 When the two men walked to the center for the customary handshake, Gotch instead of clasping the, extend ed hand of Zbyszko, hurled himself, football fashion, at the Polanders knees. Zbyszko, in his amazement, was whirled to the mat, and his shoulders f1attened on the floor in the one of the shortest falls ever obtained. Stanislaus protested the fall, but the astonishing time of seven seconds officials declared it a fair one. Zbysz- ko would have quit the match, but in order to save the forfeit of 5000 came out for the second fall. How ever, his confidence was undermined and his equilibrium shaken. He lost the second one after a half hour of tussling. Zbyszko could never force Gotch into another match, although a purse of $30,00O was offered for a. re- newa1 of their bout.
 Since then in the $40 matches he has had Zbyszko has never lost even a fall
