The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1873-06-02

was well tired out, his heavy antagonist
being too much for him evidently. Lane
appeared in stocking feet, his rubbers hay
ing been torn in the last round and acted
almost entirely on the defensive. McMa-
hon put in some of his heavy work again
and followed up his trips and locks SO
rapidly that he won the round in five min
utes by catching Lane on the left hip, out
side lock, throwing him amid dealening
cheers, thus winning the match and the
championship of the United States.
In both the second and third rounds Lanes
umpire disagreed with McNIahon's, the for
mer claiming that they were not fair
throws. The referee decided in favor of
Mcmahon, however.
A DEAD CANDIDATE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Immediately at the conclusion of the
match an Albany individual cxcitcdly
jumped up in his seat and offered to put
81 900 that he could get man to throw
the winner. McNIahon's friends on the
stage called him up and offered to put up
800 or $500 forfeit, but the Albanian
weakened when he saw the color of Nc
Mahon's greenbacks, and wanted thirty
days to find his man. lie named James
Gallaher, who he claimed was out West,
but who il is stated has been dead some
time.
ANOTHER CHALLENGE.
During the match Harry Hill announ-
ced to the crowd that he had been author
lied by representative of Perry lIigley of
Bridgeport, Conn, to challenge the winner
for 81 200 a side and the championship.
A match will probably he arranged be-
tween Mcmahon and lIigley in II few
weeks The present match was the re-
suit of challenge by Lane, to any one in
the United States.
THE RECORDS.
The records of both Lane and Mcmahon
are good. Mcmahon has thrown Perry
TIigley of Bridgeport, and Winning of New
Haven Conn, and although he has been il
more than dozen matches, he has never
been beaten. Lane, who until Friday
night was champion of the United States
has been in seventy Matches nearly all OF
which he has won His last matches have
been with IIigley in August 1872, whei
he was thrown, and in October he in turn
defeated IIigley. In February, 1878, III
threw Dolan at Brighton, and in March 1t
defeated Ainsworth at Boston. Lane wa
born in Lewis county, New York. Nc
Mahon was born at Bakersfield, Vermont
Among the guests who were present
we noticed Reddy the Blacksmith,
John Mclaughlin of Chicago, Doony Har
ris, Barney Aaron, and several of Troy
sporting men.
WAS IT A PUT Up JOB?
Many interested in the match pecuniaril
now claim that it was pnt up job, an
C that it was meant that Mcmahon shoul
win at any rate. This is not probable how
, ever, for even Lanes friends admit thi
Mcmahon is too heavy man for him, bot
: being about equal in skill.
NOTES.
= A Rutland man won 50, 900 on the mattel
!, Mcmahon is willing to wrestle with an
It man in the United States for the champion
ship, and challenge to that effect wi

e had gone into the dressing rooms, NJ
y NIahon tapped Lane on his shoulder al
u, said % You are bully little man any wa
