GOTCH THROWS 616 FRENCHMAN
(L'nifrt P re?s 1 elegr.iph Cable Service.)
KANSAS CITY. MO., March L'O ?
Frank Gotoh. cmampion wrestler of
the world in the heavywieght divi
sion. won two straight falls from
Raoul de Rouen. champion of France,
at the Auditorium last night before an
enormous crowd.
The famous toe hold won the match'
for (lotch. The big Frenchman was
the equal of th'- American in strength
and weight, but was faster and dis
played more knowledge of the wrest
ling game. Mis defense was almost
perfect and ile Rouen could get no
dangerous holds on him.
Ootch was always working for a to?
hold and in this way he weakened
and crippled the Frenchman. The
match was very rough and both men
employed rough and tumble tactics
at times.
De Rouen recently came to the Un
ited States and threw all of our best
wrestlers with the exception of Gotch
De Rouen weighs about 213 pounds
and Gotch weighed 202.

mer President Roosevelt attacks "So
clalism 'as it is now practiced through
out the world, and in part says:

the doctrines of socialism as pro
pounded by these advanced socialists
are quiU' as great as those of the ad
vocates. if there be any. of an unlici
ited Individualism.
" Indeed, these thoroughgoing so
cialists occupy in relation to all moral
itv and especially to domestic moral
ity, a position so revolting ? 1 choost
niv words carefully ? that it is dlfflcul
to discuss it in a reputable paper."
The article attacks Debs and social
ism. declaring it blind to everything
except the material side of life."
