Show ROBINSON VS. JAP. Next Monday evening Eddlo Robinson Robin-son and a Japanese disciple of jiu-jitsu will meet on tho mat to determine which Is b03t, catch-as-catch-can wrestling wres-tling or the Nippon stylo of breaking bones. Robinson is confident that ho will be able to jam two shoulders of the yellow man down to tho carpet, while tho Mikado's subject Is equally sanguine of twisting Eddie's arm off at the elbow. The Japanese science of placing an opponent hors do combat has become a fad during tho past year, and. oven tho president has been learning tho art. But beyond tossing Tom Sharkey over his shoulder and sitting on him, none of tho Japs seem to have done anything with professional profes-sional wrestlers. Robinson Is conll-dont conll-dont of winning, because ho thinks there is nothing in tho-Jnp stylo except ex-cept when used against a man ignorant ignor-ant of tho methods of breaking holds of all sorts. Against ono accustomed to wrestling ho believes tho Jap has no show. Henco ho expects to win. That there will bo a largo crowd of interested in-terested spectators, both white and yellow, Is expected. |
