Y., Jan. 29 Wrestling Wrest-ling promoters here have been trying for some time to bring Frank Gotch, the heavyweight wrestling champion of the world, to New York, for throe bouts with foreign mat starB. He was offered 25,000. Gotch refused the offer and says he will never wres-tlo wres-tlo again. From his Iowa farm, Gotch, in replying re-plying to the New York offer, wrote that he "positively" ' had given up wrestling forever. His wife and ho had gone over the situation, he wrote, and nothing "will induce me to change my mind." The call of tho foreigners and the offer of big New York purses, he said, will never make him leave his farm again. He suggested that Beell and Amcricus get together and let the winner defend the title, saying that he was willing to waive his right in favor of the better of the two. |
