Reprinted from the Atlanta Constitution Title: Unknown Author: Unknown Atlanta – A wrestling match has been arranged for some night next week between John Muhler, the professional Greek athlete, and Captain E.E. Smith, of this city. Muhler challenged Smith to wrestle one hour, Smith to receive $100 if he throws his opponent a single time and the gate receipts to go to Muhler. Muhler is well built, athletic, stands about five feet ten inches and 185 pounds. The Augusta champion is short but very solidly built, stands about five feet five inches and weighs about 200 pounds. The contest will be an interesting one. |
