Thai, mind. that Uniried would win. The
te., feature of the match was the un.
doub.ed earnestness of the contestants.
tn. wrestling did not begin until after 10
o'clock. although advertised for $3.50.
After long wait, during which the
crowd grew impatient, Notwithstanding
the efforts of an amateur cl1b swinger to
suuse it, the match began. As the men
walked On the stage great contrast was
noticeable in their build. Marbet
vas tail and rather slender. seemingly
no, yet fully developed. Unfried
vas short and stocky, with enormous
muscular development that made his an
tsgonst seem puny in comparison. Not
outstanding this Marbet outweighed Un-
ired by two pounds, their weights being
respectively 175 and 173 pounds. George
Gordon was announced as referee and
Capt. Donohue as timekeeper.
In the first bout Marbet acted entirely
on the defensive, and while Unfried kept
.urging away at him. showed remarkable
agility and full acquaintance with the
tricks Of wrestling. Some of his head
splns were very pretty. Unfried showed
plainly his superior strength, and finally
won the fall by making use of it. Secur-
Ing Nelson while Marbet was down on
oil fours, he forced him slowly over on his
back until both shoulders were down, con-
sti,utng a fall, as agreed upon by the
contestants. Time. II minutes % seconds.
In the second bout Marbet acted more
on the offensive, although he still allowed
rnfred to do most of the work. The fall
that Marbet secured seemed the result Of
accident as much as anything else. As
Unfried was hanging over him he gave a
quick lunge upward and the German
Strong Boy" apparently off his guard for
Tie instant, went flying over on his back.
Tine, Q minutes. seconds.
In the third bout Unfried went to work
svagely, evidently intending to make
short work Of his opponent. But it was
here that he overdid himself and made
the fatal error. After the men had tugged
away at each other for about four minutes
Narbet saw the opening that he had been
saiiiDg for and the bones of his
forearm closed tight against Unfried's
sindpipe, rs both men were standing. A
few seconds in this position. and then
Market ioosed his hold and threw Unfrieid
down on his back as he might have done q
stick of wood. Unfried was as limp a. .
rg. 1t was not half q minute, however,
before he recovered his wind and on his
ieet. as the referee announced Marbet the
winner. Time, a minutes 8 seconds.
Cnfried and his hacker, A. +. Able, then
walked out on the stage and the wrestler
announced that he wished TO meet Marbct
in weeks time for 81. 900 side. Gr@co-
Roman style, with the strange hold barred.
Msrbet stepped ont from between the
wings and said that he accepted the chal.
