TALLER THAN TACHIYAMA
BRITISH GIANT WHO HAS MORE INCHES THAN JAPAN'S CHAMPION.
The Japanese wrestlers drew a full tent during
their three days' engagement at Mukden ending June 26, says a dispatch.
It is said that the champion wrestler, Tachiyama, whose marvelous strength
defies rivalry in Japan in the present day was about to take a train at
Antung for Mukden, when Mr. McLorn, tidewaiter of the Chinese Customs,
who is noted for his great height, was introduced to the champion. They
measures their statures and the British giant had the satisfaction of being
slightly taller than the great wrestler, who stands 6 ft. 2 in The champion
jocularly refused to accept defeat and reminded the other of his being
in shoes while he himself was in sandals.
