The prospects of a return match between Champion Ira Dern and Dr. Carl Furness are very bright and from present outlooks Saltair beach will again secure the contest which will be staged August 26, Republican day, for the special pleasure of the politicians. Promoter Harry Heagren offered the two wrestlers a purse to meet in the city, but the interests have stepped forward with a substantial offer for the match to be promoted at Saltair and Heagren is aobut to relinquish his interest in the contest. While the promoters are dickering for the contest, Dr. Furness is in Yellowstone Park taking in the sights and doing considerable hiking on the side in order to keep in shape, for the proposed match. Furness is the only wrestler to come here who has ever been able to hold his own with Dern. ' He picked the champion up several times and threw him down on the mat in their last match and for a long time it looked as if Dern was going to lose. The champion, however, used his airplane and ended the contest at the least expected moment and at a time when Furness looked like 'more than an even break for the money. Ever since that match all the wrestling fans who did not see the contest have requested that the men be matched again.. Furness has asked for a return match believing that he can beat Dern and he says he would have put the champion down in the first match but for the airplane. Dern has a different story to tell and says he can beat Furness and if they meet again, which it now appears they will, he will demonstrate to the fans that the former victory was no accident.
