In Defeating Stevens
Last Saturday, at the
Italian Hall.
Two Straight Falls Decided Ii.
n LarGe Number OF sports Were In
Attendanee-Dwy Conceded 10
he the Better Man-NOtes

M, j. Dwyer proved altogether toe
much Of a wrestler even at the Cornish
style, for Stevens, of 0sceola, and easily
defeated him in the match at the Italian
Hall last Saturday evening, winning two
falls in something less than an hour.
The interest that had been awakened in
the match drew out large attendance,
for the men had never met in a way that
would give each an opportunity to show
up TO the best Of his ability and there was
considerable doubt as TO which was
really the better man, as many thought
Stevens knowledge OF the Cornish style
would give him an advantage that would
more than counterbalance the lack of
general physical training in which it was
known Dryer was so proficient.
The audience numbered nearly 300 and
seemed about evenly divided as to the
favorite. 1t was late in the evening
when the two men shook hands and went
at each other. The agreements were
that the man that won the first two out
OF three falls should be declared the win
ner and get the prize money and the gate
receipts.
The first hitch did not result in a fall. !
but the second was declared a fall by the !
sticklers aud given to Dryer There was
considerable dissatisfaction with the de- /
cision OF the sticklers in awarding this
hitch as fall to Dryer and Stevens
friends claim that it was not fair fell
However, there was not much OF kick
made, but one of the sticklers was re-
moYed and new man took his place who
gave better satisfaction.
The third hitch did not result IN fall
tor either man and the fourth and fifth
we're similar, but in the sixth Dryer
again succeeded IN throwing his oppo-
neDt ana secnred fall that was allowed
fair by both sides. This gave Dryer the
Yatch.
\ Alf'0ugh not much has been said about ,
the first fail, Stevens friends and Others
who are well acquainted with the rules
Oh cornish wrestling, claim 10 was not
'air, but they all agree that their man is :
no match for the professor.
John ROwett and his trainer. Joe Pope. 8
OF lshpeming, who were expected up TO 6
see the match, did not come. Rowett |
and Dryer will meet at Ishpemlng next 3
'aturday night. One, well known wres-
tler, who at one time held an enyiable
reputation az Cornish wrestling, told the '
NEWS after the match that Dryer would q
stand no show whatever with Rowett. i
and that he was surprised that boy of 5
stevens age could put up such good c
match against the professor. Much in
terest is taken here in the match next c
saturday evening at Ishpeming.
