The Edmonton Capital – November 18, 1911
Montreal, Que., Nov. 16. – George Kennedy, the well known wrestling promoter promoter of Montreal, is going hot foot after Frank Gotch, the world’s champion with his protege, Raymond Cazeaux.
Kennedy, who left here on Thursday morning for a week’s tour with Cazeaux to all the big centres of wrestling in the middle states, made this proposition: “I will give Gotch one thousand dollars if he will meet Raymond Cazeaux in a Graeco-Roman wrestling contest at Sohmer Park, and, in addition, I will bet another thousand dollars that Cazeaux will beat him. If Gotch will accept this offer I will immediately post a certified cheque with the Montreal Star for the amount, and Gotch can cover it as quickly as he likes.”
Cazeaux was in Montreal two years ago, and was never beaten. This season he has met with signal success, having beaten everybody with whom he wrestled, and going to a draw with the much heralded Peterson.
