It was this same George Turner who appeared last evening as a substitute for "Policeman" Gordon of Mlnneap oils, in a catch-as-catch-can match with the touted Zbyszko, the giant Pole, who has been heralded as a demon and the most formidable opponent of Frank Gotch for the championship 01 the world, this of course through his ability to stay an hour with Gotch ot Buffalo, X.

This enrag3d Zbsyzko and he found that 15 minutes had nassed and onlv a few left in which he had a chance at the long end ot the purse, he went at Turner rough and i tumble. He rushed him to the walls i and into the chairs among the spec I tators, but even at this he failed jto gain a point. Then he doubled his fists and struck Turner several times, but.

Gordon of Minne apolis also failed, but Turner was more than satisfactory as a substitute. o Match for Gotch. Yet those who staged the affair must be given credit for bringing Zbyszko to the tri-cities, as his showing afford ed a tip on how to place your money should he ever sign up for a straight match with Champion Frank Gotch. The only preliminary was a bout be tween John Voss of Rock Island and Robert Anderson of Mollne, Voss win ning the match by taking two straight falls in 17 and 10 1-2 minutes respec tively.
