well spotted! Cherpillod represented the Swiss wrestling style in a
mixed-styles match promoted by B-W at his 1902 tournament -

The second reference is also intriguing (pardon my high-school level
translation)

"In Neuchâtel, the Attinger Brothers bookshop put on sale the 'Handbook of
Jiu-jitsu' of Professor Cherpillod, world-champion of all-in wrestling and
one of the first to have worked in the Bartitsu Club of London, in 1901,
with the Japanese fighters."

... suggesting that the style presented in this book might be close to that
of Tani and Uyenishi during the heyday of the Bartitsu Club ...
