It sure has been still some fight, but we will win. The only way they can stop us is to get some one that can defeat Ple- stina, They have sent to Russia for Stanislau Zbyszko and are hoping that he can put Plestina out of the This Zbyszko they have hero has not the nerve to get on the mat With Plestina. Well, Plestina bars no one, so they are sure of a match aa when he arrives, “I think I have proven to every fair minded men that they are what I have claimed they are, ‘a trust.’ ‘They have said if I would turn Ple- stina over to some one else that they would match him.

Nor did they like Jack Taylor when he challenged the ‘trust’ and offered to bet his own money against any of them. They nevor even gave any reply. It must be plain that they do not dare to wrestle, Lewis and Zbyszko re to wrestle anoth “brothe: in Chicago the 19th, and Btecher and Lewis are already matehed for May 26.
