Special to the Register.
Sistersville. w. Va. February %
The Randall-Woodward wrestling con-
test in the Bijou Opera House was
pulled off here tonight as per arrange
ments, in the presence of a goodly
number of sports. Both men we're in
perfect condition and were eager to
demonstrate their superiority one over
the other. and also to satisfy num-
her of sports who bet on their former
contests. which took place here about
two weeks ago. and which. on account
of the fouling tactics of the contest
ants, was decided a draw.
1t was after nine o'clock when the
men appeared upon the mat with Jim
my Rowan. of Wheeling. as on the
previous occasion. acting as referee.
The first fall was won by Woodward
in twenty-five minutes and fifty-five
seconds with a half Nelson hold.
The second fall was won by Randall
in one minute and fifty seconds. with
half Nelson and foot hold in a flying
fall
The third fall was decided by the
referee, much to the disgust of all
present, in favor of Woodward, while
the unanimous opinion Of the specta-
tors was that Randall's left shoulder
was at no time within three inches Of
the mat. On account Of this very I'M
satisfactory decision, the spectators be-
came boisterou sand were free in their
denunciation Of ROwan's methods OF
refereeing. and on this account all
bets were voluntarily declared off by
those who had money at stake When
Rowan announced his decision, Wood
ward was en- apparent victor.
