THE EVENING WORLD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, Yusseff, the Turk, Wants to Wrestle Gotch, and His Manager Has Money to Back Up the Challenge. A wandered into The Evening World office last night, ac- companied by two hefty gentlemen who act in the positions of managur and backer. The Turk was Yusseft Mahmout, late of Pasha Bali, Bulga-| tia. His manager was Antonio Pierri, | the old-time wrestler. The man of money presented a card which read: LARGE, equare-jawed Turk : Impresario. } | 8 (isa $ Manager for : Gunner Moir, ; Champion of England. “This 1s Yusseft, “Umph,” said Yusseff, sald the manager. bobbing his “He wishes to wrestle Gotch.” “Umph,” assented Yusseff, with a face as wooden as an Indian's. “We will give Gotch his own style, an, and @ $500 side stake, Five hundred—that is enough.” Here Pierri pulled a wad from his trousers pocket, and tossed it on the table. “Count Mt; it is real Pierri. “Umph,” remarked Yusseff, his eyes shining, but the quartered oak ression still decorating the features. $6 'E have Just come in from Eng- land,” Pierr! went on, ‘We thought the man that beat Gotch woud be a good man to have in London. I know Mahmout. He {s in iiis home in Bulgaria. We sent for him.

The side stake that is nothing. Purse is nothing. What we came for is the title. Yusseff weighs 210 pounds. He is strong. He has beaten all the good men in Europe, ‘and no more will wrestle him. 1 asked Hackenschmidt to try him out in pri- vate. Hackenschmidt says, ‘I am in so great hurry to go to Germany.
