to the stand. The latter wore white tights,
The referee waved his hand toward the
Jap. who skipped out Of his overcoat and
stood in the middle of the pad, McRea pre-
pion middleweight wrestler Of the world.
He looked it, too, If one could judge from
his general appearances, He bowed and
went to his corner. Quinn threw back his
coat as he sprung to his feet, the referee in
Producing him as the champion of the Pa
condition. He does not look like a wres-
tier, being built in the style of sprinter.
He wore confident smile and
kept his eyes on the Jap, whose face was az
stolid as an Indians. Quinn's weight was
amined the hands and feet of the princi-
pals to see that their nails were closely
trimmed and that there were no spikes in
their shoes. The canvas pad was next ex-
amined by the referee and the directors of
the association. Everything was decided
to be satisfactory. and time was called.
The men advanced to the center of the
pad and shook hands. It was apparent that
Quinn had the advantage in point of reach,
height and weight. The Jap, while shorter
than his opponent, was bundle Of mus
cles, and is tough customer for any wres-
tier to take hold Of. As they met their
arms twined around, endeavoring to get q
safe lock around the neck, but first one and
then the other would slip out of it. The
willy Jap several times had one of Quinn's
wrists in his powerful grip IN an attempt
to deaden the nerves, but could not keep
It but for few seconds at a time.
Matsads went to the floor arst on his hands
and knees with Quinn straddling him and
pounding on his neck with his right FORE
arm. The referee warned him not to re-
peat the tactics. In . few seconds Quinn
had the famous strangle hold on the Jap
and put all his weight on him. The broad
face of the man from Toxic commenced to
grow livid and he Missed like snake,
Quinn released the hold in about five sec
onds, the Jap securing new hold on Quinn
who was now on his hands and knees. The
advantage was of little avail to the Jap,
the terrible squeezing he received on his
windpipe had about exhausted him and he
could not turn Quinn. Like flash the lat
ter secured front half Nelson and the
burly shoulders Of Sorakichi met the can
vas. Quinn had won the first throw in
the ladder followed by s. MCCAIN as5n ,o his
trainer, going to the dressing room
where he was rubbed down. The Jap
strutted across the platform with a

Ut the tactics employed BY Quinn in the early
part of the bout. The fifteen minute limit
was stretched but no one found fault with
the time keeper. When Quinn came on the
platform the referee cautioned him about
hitting his opponent on the neck He de-
clared If he repeated it he would give the
bout to the Jap. Quinn then jumped from
his chair and said he proposed to wrestle
according to Graco-Roman rules in spite of
the referee. While this was going on the
