uCeS ana SIX SECONDS.
During the intermission which fol-
lowed, Roeber received the following
message from William MuldOOn, the
wrestler, dated at Philadelphia: BE
cautious, make him do the work. Don't
let them rattle you. Good luck 10 you,
and wire ME the result"
In explanation of the telegram it is
but necessary to say that MuldOun holds
a grudge against the Strangler tor once
Worsting him in contest, but the re-
celpt OF the message could not remove
The Look of Defeat
from ROBBERS face as both men, at the
expiration Of the ten minutes rest,
locked arms for the GrecO-Roman bout.
Roeber secured a double-arm hold, and
Lewis went to the floor to escape fly
ing fall. He wriggled out of R0eber's
attempt to get half-Nelson, and with
wonderful agility the Stranger re-
gained his footing, but lost
good opportunity to throw the
big German when the latter fell
to his knees. Lewis took half-Nelson
while Roeber was on his feet and en-
deavored to bear his opponent to the
floor. Lewis put out his head TO Roeber
to let the latter take the neck hold, his
idea being to bring him to his feet and
glue him flying fall. Roeber was too
wary TO be caught, but let himself slide
into another Nelson. from which
only escaped with difficulty.
At the expiration of ten minutes both
men were perspiIing freely, aud hold
or any kind was difficult to retain.
Roeber slipped to the floor, Lewis TAX
ing stomach clasp, pumping the Ger
mans wind. ROeber took neck hold,
but could not maintain his advantage,
and the Stranger, slipping away. threw
Roeber to the floor, the latter landing OH
his knees and hands. When the Straug-
ler, with a body hold,

to bridge the latter, by pretty piece
of head spinning, slipped away, leaving
the strangler underneath. ROeber acci-
IDENTITY dropped his neck into the strang-
ler'S hold, which Lewis laughingly re-
leased and both men gained their foot
ing. Getting body hold from behind,
Roeber lifted tie Stranger from the
floor and fell with him, but to nd
advantage. A full Nelson gave Lewis
the opportunity of showing how neatly
he could bridge, turn and get away,

tWenty-eight minutes twelve seconds.
The third bout, catch-as-catch-caR
style, was clearly Lewis victory in less
than thirty seconds. He secured a neck
hold, and with the grapevine gave Roe
Der flying fall, landing him squaTely
on his shoulders. Referee Duffy was
not prepared for such sudden action
and, failing TO see both points down,
diSallowed the fall. Lewis himself failed
to see the fall, and his seconds did moi
press their claim. The Stranger gave
the German another flying fall, but only
Got One Point Down.
His defeat in the Gr3co-ROman bout
had worked the Stranger into frenzy,
and be went at his opponent as though
his uppermOSt thought was to break
every bone in his body. With crotch
and neck hold he threw Roeber over on
the mat as though he was only ten-
Year-old child instead Of a Steel-hard-
ened piece OF humanity, but failed to
get both points down. With half

though his life depended on ending the
bout in. five minutes. He brought
Roeber down to his knees, but lost his
hold and went underneath. Positions
were reversed after few moments of
fiddliug, but neither man could secure

failed to win with first single
full Nelson, RUeber going tc his feet.
Locking together so. tightly that an
engine could not pull them apart, both
men went heavily to the floor, ROeber
underneath. Another half Nelson, from

Lewis bridged, and, though fall
seemed apparent. one shoulder remained
off the ground. Julian and Bosworth
both claimed the fall, but Referee Duffy,

The Stranger, having secured the
quickest falls, had the selection of the
deciding bout, and chose his tavorite
style, catch-as-catch-can. In the pre-
ceding bout Roeber'S second claimed
foul which was not allowed. Lewis
magnanmOusly admitted having fouled
the TeutOn, but declared it
was unintentional. Lewis went at
Roeber like Il madman and securing
neck hold and hip lock, gave Roeber
flying fall in one minute and three Sec

match, which was for the championship
