ZBYSZKO HAS “COME BACK”

Polish Wrestling Champion Here to Secure Another Bout With Gotch—Shows Improvement. Stanislaus Zbyszko, champion wrestler of Poland, has returned to America. Zbyszko’s object is to secure another match with Frank Gotch for the championship of the world. Gotch says he has retired, but with Hackenschmidt and Zbyszko after him he may come back . Zbyszko thinks Gotch tricked him into defeat and he is of the opinion he can stand off the world’s champion now, especially since the disparity in age is greater than formerly. Zbyszko says Gotch promised him another chance after his defeat last winter. The Polish champion took three Amer-

lean wrestlers home with him and has been in constant training ever since. He has shown great improvement, his friends say, and is confident he will be able to send Gotch into permanent retirement. Although this has a strangely familiar sound, it must be admitted Gotch is growing old and Zbyszko is still young for a wrestler. Zbyszko has forwarded SI,OOO to his manager. Jack Herman of Buffalo, who has posted that amount to bind the match.

Stanislaus Zbyszko.
