" BLASE WANTS TO
WRESTLE MARTIN
Several weeks ago through the
columns of The Dally Times, J. A.
Blase, manager for Andy Martin, Is
sued a challenge to wrestle, catch as
catch can, anyone in the territory
for a side bet of $250. It was
thought that Young Vikin could get
in shape to meet Martin, in fact Vi
kin accepted the challenge condi
| tionally. It was unfortunate that
: the Vikin was taken sick and for the
past four weeks has been under the
doctor's care, and will be unable to
meet Martin or anyone else until his
physical condition permits. At the
time of the challenge the Klks’ club
was contemplating handling the
match and pulling it off Fourth of
July night, but owing to the indispo
- sition of Vikin have given it up.
The sporting element of Anchorage
was very anxious to see Martin and
j Vikin in action and the match would
have been a good one as both are
good men on the mat and each have
their following who would have been
willing to have backed their favor
ite.
There have been several aspirants
who have expressed a willingness to
accept Martin's challenge but noth
ing of a definite nature has develop
ed until Casey Jones, well known in
j sporting circles, has addressed a
communication to The Daily Times
in which he says he will meet Mar
tin and will come th.ougli with the
side bet, the match to be pulled oft'
Fourth of July night. The challenge
reads as follows:
“Daily Times—I saw a challenge
in your paper from Mr. Martin, a
well known wrestler from the Pa
cific coast, who has issued a chal
lenge to throw any man in Alaska,
bar no weight. I will accept the
challenge of Mr. Martin for a side
bet to suit the challenger for a
. match to be pulled off Fourth of
July. (Signed) Casey Jones.” So
it may be that Anchorage lovers of
this sport will have the opportunity
of witnessing a wrestling match in
the near future.
