Wonderful Specimen.
TALZA is the most perfect ply
steal specimen you ever clap
ped peppers on.
He is about twenty-one, and has
not been wrestling long enough to
acquire the flat ears and facial
corrugations Of the average wres-
tier.
He speaks no English. but he is
a pleasant, friendly young fellow,
and those who have met him per-
sonally are his warmest friends
and boosters.
Gala has had few matches
hereabouts. yet in those matches
he has demonstrated that he has
tremendous strength, speed and
much wrestling skill. He has been
trained and coached b. the vet
eran. John Berelli.
Gardini has been wrestling in
this country for some years and is
well known. He Is considered a
good man. and is quite popular
with the Italians.
Sight Seeing in Gotham.
Tim DOUGHERTY. the Baron

There was no object in the visit

Baron took his charge to the top
of the Woolworth buiEting. swept
his hand over the scene below. and
announced:
"There she isl"
"Uh-huh," said Bobby.
Then they took a train back to

Barrett is the boy who knocked

at present the fistic sensation of

Bobby was born at Pelham

years old. He will be twenty-one
in September. He is a power
fully built boy, with huge hands,
and while he CLAIMS his best
weight is 1873 pounds, we rather
incline to the belief that Jim has
a potential middleweight on his
