PLESTINlCALLS ' GOTCHTHE PEER Omaha Orftppler Expects Tricks Learned From Ex-Champ to Aid in His Match With Joe Stecher. Since that much-mooted issue of "who was the best wrestler" has come up again, Marin Plestina,1 Omaha's heavyweight champion who clashes with Joe Steelier at the Omaha Audi torium Labor day night, comes to bat with the assertion thai; Frank Gotch was the peer of all bonecrushers. "Some say Gotch was the best wrestler," said Marin. "Others say Mahmout was best. Still others fa vor Hackenschmidt and thejje are those who prefer the modern grap plers, Stecher and Caddock." "But Gotch was the bet," continued Marin. "There is no doubt that Gotch and Mahmout were the two greatest wrestlers the world ever aw. Either one of them could kill Steelier or Cad dock. I think 1 can, do that myself. "As between Gotch and Mahmout, opinions are divided. Some of the best wrestling experts say Mahmout was the superior of. Gotch, others tend toward the Iowan, "I worked two years in the Gotch camp and three years in the Mahmout camp. And I ought to know which man is the best. My money would go on Gotch." v Ready fqr Stecher. Plestina believes the experience he obtained while . toiling ss training partner for both Gotch and Mahmout will come in good stead when he tangles with Stecher. Gotch and Mah mout were two distipctively different types of wrestlers. But both were wonders, both on attack and defense, Marin was just a plug-horse in' those days, but he watched every move these two greats of the mat game made with the result that fans wh6 have seen both Gotch and Mahmout in action, can see many of their little tricks in Pletina s work. "Stecher never could have put his scissors on Gotch or Mahmout," de dares Tlestina, "and whert-1- wrestle Steelier 1 will use the defense these men used against the scissors hold. I don't belJeve Stecher will ever get it, because r believe I have perfected the defense as well as Gotch and Mah mout had and I know positively Joe Stecher nor any other wrestler in the world could have thrown (Jotch or Mahmout with a scissors hold.'"

' Bryan Finds Universal War Support for Government Chicago, Aug. 27. William Jen nings Bryan said today that traveling about the country he has found that the desire to support the govern ment in the war, is almost universal. Mr. . Bryan came to Chicago to de liver a ( ' autauqua address. "The iv-son why a different im pression i. ' gained,' 'the Ne braskan add ' is that the newspa pers publish i'.c exception rather than the rule. For instance, a dispatch may report an unpatriotic utterance by a man in some town, but nothing is aid about 999 others, who are pa- triotic. Of course, it is the duty of ' papers to call attention to unpatriotic utterances in orer those guilty may.be punished, but the fact that they do not give the number of the patriotic may lead to a false impression as to public utterances. I find the esire to support the government practically universal.
