SChOtt the Champion.

The GAINESVILLE Recorder gives the
following account of the wrestling
match between Reinhold Schott and
William Allen at GAINESVILLE Friday
night:
'.Reinhold Schott, of Watertown, is
now the champion middleweight t
wrestler Of the Northwest. The stocky
built Wisconsin man won the title at
the Myers Grand Opera house last
night when he defeated William Allen.
Of Duluth, the winner Of many battles,
winning two falls out of three. The
match, as stated by Referee Appleby,
was catch-as-c catch-can, best two falls
out Of three, Police Gazette rules to
govern. Strangle hold barred. 1t
was after o'clock when the two con-
testants made their appearance and
were introduced by Referee Appleby.
At the first glance one would have
taken Schott to be the heavier of the
70, but he was not. He gave his
weight stripped as 151 pounds, while
Allen claimed to weigh 15S. Both
men were in the pink of condition and
to all appearances they were about
evenly matched, as their work later
on the mat proved to be true. Both
men were bare to the waist. Schott
wore a par of red tights and Allen
wore black. Both men did clever
work and slipped out of tight places
when it looked as though there was
little opportunity. Schott was es-

In Social Circles.

A large reception was given Thurs
day evening by Dr.. and Mrs w. F.
Whyte at their pleasant home on
Second street. The inclement wealth
er interfered with the first plans of
entertaining and compelled the trans
fer of the festivities from the lawn
to the house, but this did not inter-
fere in the least with the thorough
enjoyment of the occasion. After the
guests had been formally received, a
delectable menu was dispensed, the
hostess being assisted in serving by
dozen young ladies. Following this
came the rendition of an excellent
musical program, and the company
was later entertained with the guess
ing contest, "Hidden Celebrities.
Last "Wednesday evening Mr. and
Mrs. George Weber entertained a
party of young people at their home
on North Second street. Dancing was
INDUCED in and Il vnry enjoyable time
is reported. A nice lunchoon was
served

pecially quick and the good points dis
played by both were literally ap-
plauded.
after hard struggle Schott got
Allen on his back and was given the
first fall in eleven minutes. The Sec
ond bout was equally interesting 1t
lasted fifteen minutes and was won
amid enthusiastic applause by the
Minnesota man.
each man now had fall to his
credit and the third and deciding bout
was watched with great interest 1t
was the shortest of the three and was
won by Schott in ten minutes

the beginning Of the contest, for in
the first inning Oshkosh hit the ball
hard and often and scored five runs.
but after that Root braced up and
pitched splendid ball, allowing only
one more run to be made. Notwith-
standing this discouraging opening,
the Watertowns made a gallant up
bill fight, and before the close of the

nine runs on good, clean hitting that
made glad the hearts of their numer-
Gus admirers. 1t is expected that the
