ZBYSZKO TRIES BAKED APPLE

Big Polish Wrestler Ate Nine of Them, Then Eight Boiled Eggs, Toast, Chops and Potatoes. Stanislaus Zbyszko and Yankee Rogers, wrestlers, were coming out of Montreal one wintry morning, says an exchange. The two members of the grapple profession strolled into the dining car together. Rogers ordered

some baked apples—that, is, perhaps, one. Zbyszko was much interested. “What is that, Mr. Rogers?” asked the big Polish wrestler, who always speaks in a very formal manner. ‘That’s a baked apple,” replied the Buffalo wrestler. It was the first time Zbyszko had ever seen a baked apple in his life. “Mr. Waiter, I’ll try one,” said Zbyszko. The big Pole ate nine baked apples, eight boiled eggs, three orders of toast, some chops and several orders of potatoes.
