HERMAN SEEMS EAGER Telegram to Heagren Asks for Definite Oilers Promptly Prompt-ly as Possible. Bmll Klank. managei- for Frank Qolcb, Insists that ZbyCsko is dodging the wrestling wres-tling match With MohmOUt, but a telegram tele-gram from Herman, manager for the Pole, indicates that ZbysSkO Is ivtlllng to meet MahmOUl either In Kansas City Or Salt 1-ake. Klaiilc doeji not explain what makes him think Bbynnko Is tr' ing to evade Mahmout, conseojiently It may he ihat Klank's stuteincnt is merely mere-ly an excuse Invented to enable Gotcu to decline meeting the Tole. Following is tnr- telegram received by Promoter Harry Meogren from Klank last night: Chicago, Jan. Harry Heagien, Salt Lake. Utah Zbyszko will be gtx-en absolutely no consideration b Gotoh on account of shirking OUt of B meeting with M11I1-mout. M11I1-mout. whom th critic claim tri be the be-t wrestler In the world hailing hai-ling the champion. We offered Zbyszko slxtv per cent of the wres-lers wres-lers share to meet Mahmout. He flatly rofOged the offer Ills boasts and challenges will now be ignoie.d. will bar blm In ChloaaTO. ZoyezkO is mateiied to meet Etolcevich in New York Mike Yokel .an beat th hit-J hit-J ter. r;.MIL KLANK. Klank lias a higher opinion of Yokel than Mike himself has. lUlceviolj is the Italian champion who guaranteed to liirow six of the best wrestlers around New York 111 one hour or forfeit 1060 tO even one he failed to throw. He threw them all in the time limit and ia undoubtedly one of the best wrestlers in the world, lie i- s good as Yokel would be. If Yokel had his wejgbt. so Klonk'a refergnce 10 Mike being able, to tbron him la simply ridiculous. Shortly after receiving the foregolpg telegram from l Klank, Hagren ropcivaa a message from Herman asking him to make haste with a definite offer for tho 2b izkO-Mohmout match. Herman said 1 It would be staged cither In Salt Lake or Kansas City . and the sooner the better. Messrs Lnngford, Nelson and Heagren will meet Kiar.ic and Herman in Chicago about February i" and trj to sign them up for the match) Both managers arc apparently trying to get Kansas City and ; Boll Lake Into competitive bidding for the match, but the Soli Lakers, when they get to Chicago intend to mak a-flat a-flat offer for the Zoyasko-Mahmoul boot and for the Gotch-ZbysikO bout provid-1 Ing Zhvpzko defeats Ms.hmout, as it ;s j believed lie ill After they have mad" their one offer, the managers can lake It' Or leave it. There will be no boosting ' bids to meet Kansas Ctty or to make the eily on the Ka - bid "higher. It in pretty certain, however that the! match will h" laif.l at Saltair and that the Kansas City Off or' ' is merelv an effort ef-fort to make the Salt Lakera bid a little higher and mote promptly than ihe. might do other ise. |
