Then Gotch tried to throw the Clevelander through the ropes. Tn the next bout he butted ‘Tom de- liberately, and Jenkins returned the favor with Imterest a few seconds lat ‘Tom was thrown through the rop and hit the floor with a thump, but he climbed back again, Later he threw Gotch out. ‘Then Gotch picked Jenkins up and banged him against the top of one of the posts, knocking the breats out of him Jenkins Grew Stronger, To the surprise of the crowd Jenkins who {s about six or eight years old than 'Gotch, seemed to Krow stronger es the WHAT THE A player, twenty-three years old, with experience, Is a heavy and tmely hitter, or infielder.
