DacK mold ana gained a Qeclueu advantage,
and his admirers in the audience cheered.
Cannon went down ON all fours for pruden-
tial reasons. Considerable time was spent
by Moth in struggling for full Nelson.
He caught half Nelson several times, but
the Californian's thick neck was too strong
to be affected by such lock. Moth aban-
doned the Nelson to experiment with the
chin or shoulder, and Cannon saved fail
by clever head pivot bridge When they
came together again Moth was on all fOurs.
Here Cannon began forcing matters. He
worked desperately, jumping over his
opponent from side to side like squirrel
and the audience applauded his exhibition
OF agility. He then grasped Moth in wise
like grip and eXerted every endeavor in try
ing to pump the latters wind or make him
sick at his stomach, but the brawny Ger
man has an iron constitution and such eff
forts were futile. Cannon then tried the
butting process, which evidently enraged
Moth, who with one mighty effort regained
his feet. Then they came together in a
neck and back grasp. Without any spar
ring Cannon sprang for the neck, which the
other shook Off, and then Cannon succeeded
in getting full chancery. Here was one of
the most admirable exhibition of strength OF
the evening. With a ''whoOp" Cannon
wrung and twisted repeatedly and the au-
dience cheered vociferously, but tine sturdy
German kept his feet and finally succeeded
in breaking the lock. Moth then seized a
back hold, which was changed as quick as
thought to cross neck and Cannon went to
the floor. For safety Moth seized a half
Nelson and to break the lock Cannon took
a sitting posture when he was quickly
turned in the air, saving a fall by a fine
bridge. Then Moth was
ON THE FLOOR
and it was his time to bridge to avert fall
from body hold.
At the end of twenty minutes Cannon
called for time to wipe of. Cardiff said it
would be all right if Moth was willing.
Moth assented and the referee gave five
minutes. Moths hacker thought he was
foolish to grant the privilege. When they
came together the Introductory work was
repeated as before, with Moth struggling
for the back. Soon he went to the floor for
play. Cannon seized Nelson, and
the German, with wonderful skill, grasped
him by the neck with one hand and threw
him violently over his head, but the Cali.
fornian made handsome bridge. In less
than a minute the play was repeated with a
like result. Cannon then took strong body
lock and endeavored to lift his adversary off
the floor. but could not. Looking sorrow-
fully to Butler he shook his fist. Again Moth
threw Cannon over his head with a
one-handed neck-lOck, but the Californian
bridged Cannon again and repeat
eddy pumped the Germans stom-
ach. then looking around saw a
last at the edge of the stage threw Moth
violently against the post. striking his side.
Moth claimed foul and the audience arose
to its feat and yelled foul" The referee
hesitated a moment and allowed the foul.
The Californian kicked and kicked, but the
referee would not change his decision.
Time, 40 minutes.
The interest and excitement prevailed
and the audience surged about wildly.
Moth appeared perfectly fresh when time
was called. quickly he took the back grip and
Cannon took a neck lock. Moth slipped
and went down for safety. Cannon worked
with all his might and main, but to no pur-
pose. He too Nelson after Nelson, which
were easily broken. Then Moth seized him
by the neck and turned him, winning a
pretty fall, which was at once decided.
Time. two minutes. Here the Californian
did kick and went through all sorts of gym
nastice. He swore that he had bridged,
and called the referee some hard
names. Butler uncorked his walls OF
wrath. Those who had bet on
Cannon joined in the shout, until the hall
was ia the widest confusion and squad OF
police came to the front for fear of violence.
However, all who were in position to see
declared it a fair fall. Among them were
Ed Brown, Sergt. Hill, J. German, R.
Sherwood, and several reliable policemen
who sat in the front row. Moth, TO make
it satisfactory, stepped to the footlights
and offered to wrestle Cannon again, but
no match was arranged.
