SAN Francesca, June 4sb.-A wrestling
match between William Muldoon and jules
Rigal this evening attracted large audience,
which filed Union Hall 20 the doors. When
ths en~put IN En- appearance on thu stage
and stripped to the buff, the marked dis
crepaucy in their figures Wss freely CON-
mented on, and IL was generally conceded
that despite tie science which the Frank pes-
sessed ne was severely handicapped BY the
immense frame and strength of his opponent.
Rigsl stripped much lighter than MCldooD,
and in addition TO the latter being about e
foot taller it was evident that the former
would have hard struggle against odds from
the start. kisal possessed the advantage q
having short thick neck, making hold
there extrsmely difficult. Afse- spsrring for
a hold for fully eight minutes, Muldoon Sue
cseded in getting neck hold, which was
broken without apparent difficulty by Rigai,
only TO be repeated several times. The
men finally got down, Muldoon on his
hands and knees, Rigal having tight
grasp around the formers stamach, and
making desperate efforts to lift him from
his crouching position, which was, however,
unsvailing. Muldoon suddenly turned, send
ing the Frank over his head. With remark.
able agility Rigal lit On his feet and head,
his shoulder several inches from the tioof.
He was next sent flying TO the edge of the
platform, bat again fell on his knees and
slipped to the floor. The above tactics were
repeated several times, Muldoon vainly try
ing Co get q neck hold, and Rigal failing even
to lift his powerful adversary from ths floor,
but doing excellent work, which was finally
cheered. Muldoon finally succeeded in catch
ing him about the waist, and carrying him
ii Tnid-air to the center OF the stage,
dropped him on both shoulders, winning the
first fall 10 q minutes and 5Sl seconds.
After liberal twenty minutes breathing
spell the men got to work rapidly, Muldoon
getting a neck hold, and sending Rigal fly
ing about ten feet sway. The Frenchmsn
turned in his flight and Lit on his side. lie
was on his feet in twipkiing, and secured a
tight hold on the champions waist just SIS
the latter fell to avoid being thrown. Here
the most exciting part Of the match occurred.
Rigal several times took neck hold, which
Muidoon broke by sheer strength, until by
sudden twist of his body he doubled his op-
ponent under him. the Frenchman respond
ing by rolling him on top, back to back, at
right angles. Again AIuldoon's superior
strength came TO the rescue, and Selling his
agile adversary by the neck, he lifted him up
iuto the air and dropped him to the floor,
Rigal lighting on his feet and head. In the
next hold Muldoon dropped, and Rigal, get
ting tight hold on his neck, screwed him
around until he literally turned on his hands
and feet alternately. When he lay at arms
length, Mul6oon by quick movement re-
gained his former hold, and twisted his ad-
versary's neck until the Frenchman actually
stood on his head, only 80 be tumbled over on
his shoulders. Muldoon's next hold con-
cluded the match in 80 minutes 36J seconds.
