MOTH AND MLAUGHLIN MATCHED.
At last match has been arranged be-
tween Charles Moth and Col. Mclaughlin.
Moth was sincere in his statements to meet
the gigantic Detroiter. He has issued four
specific challenges. The first was GrPco-
Roman. Moth to win two straight falls.
The next that he would wreste a mixed
match-one fall collar-and- elbow, one fall
Graeco- Romon and one fall catch-aS-catch
can. The next challenge was two falls
Oltar-and-elbow and two falls Graco-Ro-
man. the odd fall to be decided by toss.
Mclaughlin rejected each. Yesterday Moth
almost despaired of being able to meet the
colonel upon anything like fair grounds,
but resolved to make one more attempt.
Consequently he issued challenge for
tive-bout match, two falls Graco-Roman
style and one fall each back-hold. side-h0ld
and catch-as-catch-can styles. This brought
the gallant colonel to terms. He accepted
and articles of agreement have been signed,
and Aid. Sly is reasonably happy. The
match will occur in four weeks.
