Gotch was not very well known at the time, and a yreek strong man who conducted a lunch-wagon, and who considered himself a wrestler, offered to match himself against Gotch. The latter laughingly refused, and the Greek, scenting a sidestep, pressed the chal lenge, Gotch finally consented to meet the Greek, and offered to wager $1,- 000 against the Greek's lunch wagon that he would throw him sixty times in sixty miinutes. The Greek jumped at the proposition, and the match was on. For twenty minutes Gotch played with the Greek, and then flattened him 60 times in the final 40 minutes, : Then Gotch refused to take the lunch-wagon, which action was ap- preciated by the loser. .
