Fishbaugh, however, is widely and favorably known in wrestling circles of the east, middlewest and far west, He has defeated some of the cleverest men in the game at approximately his own weight, end by many sports experts Is believed to be one of the three or four men who have the best chance to grab off the crown now held by Jack Reynolds. He Is particularly well re membered because of having thrown Reynolds with a toe hold, some little feat in Itself, according to men who know the Reynolds stylo of wrestling. The Indian is not taking' any chances, particularly in view of the fact that his bout with the Turk last week wore him down considerably and left quite a few sore spots. The bout last week was one of the most gruelling ever staged here and both grapplers needed rest and liniment and things like that for several days thereafter. It was estimated each man wore off about seven or eight pounds of weight during that and after such a bout, real rest is necessary.

The Indian Is taking no chances with Fishbaugh, and is putting in some strenuous work these days. Letters from "Dutch" Mantel, well remembered here, make it plain that the western wildcat is anxious to come back to Jackson, especially for a meeting with the Indian, but with a willingness to "meet any man who beats the Indian. Mantel Is a grappler of long years and wide experience. He knows all the tricks of the Is husky, stands a heap of punishment, and generally is considered as a man who can give the Indian just about as strong opposition as anybody yet seen here. Mantell won a most decisive vic tory over Basanta Singh only a few days ago, the East Indian having to be carried unconscious from the ring as the result of a series of slams, and not being able to return to finish the match.

That bout was declared one of the most strenuous ana exciting staged in southwest in years and if It was that, it certainly was a sure-enough match. The fans can figure out things to a certain extent themselves, if the American Legion officials decide to bring Mantell back for a bout against the Indian: The Turk defeated Mantell after first losing to him, which might make it fair to call it a draw; yaqui Joe defeated the Turk de cisively; the Indian and Mantel bat tle about the same general style of wrestling and all this makes it look like it ought to be a good match. And should Fishbaugh defeat the Indian, It would still be a promising battle, to match Mantell and Fishbaugh. triples and a pair of singles out of five attempts.
