The Anaconda standard., 1899-12-14
He J0LL|ED WITH MAC
Turk Threw Him Three Times in
40 Minutes.
LATTER DID GREAT WORK
1t Was Fine Exhibition-The Crowd
Was Very Liberal in Applause to
the Opponent OF the
Big Man.

A full house at the Grand last night
saw the big and powerful Turk throw
D. A. Mcmillan three times in 46 min
utes. 1T was the general opinion that
he could have thrown him three times
in very much less time, say about five
minutes of actual work. The Turk
agreed to do the job in an hour and
half, but in order to give the big crowd
chance to see the champion wrestler
of the world he jollied with Mac much
longer than was necessary.
For preliminaries, little negro boy
and a smaller white boy wrestled, and
the black kid won. Then Foley and Ba-
ker went at 1t, and Baker won.
When the Turk and Mcmillan went
on the mat the crowd gave them an
ovation. Professor Billy Langdon was
referee. From the start Mcmillan
spared for time. He ran around the
mat and the Turk moved lazily around,
smiling at his daring opponent For
feeler, the big fellow reached out and
caught Macs head, and the latter Went
to his hands and knees, the Turk bridg-
ed in restful attitude across him. With
half-Nelson the Turk forced his man
to quarters and Mac made a beautiful
spin out of his clutches Then Mac
walked around the edges of the mat,
while the Turk ambled leisurely over
the softest part of it.
BY way Of exhibition, the big man
from Turkey went to his hands and
knees in order to give his opponent a
chance to show what he could do un-
der the circumstances. Mac made a
pretension to fix a Nelson, but sim
liar hold on an OK frozen in a marsh
"a off nj of +1a
proper time the Turk shook his head
and Macs Nelson was gone. In flash
the Turk was on top of his man, and
here was witnessed as pretty work as
one cares to see. Mac went out Of two
half-Nelsons, and the crowd yelled
Mac fixed a half-Nelson, but the big
fellow broke it by merely twisting his
ponderous neck Mac then had occas-
sion to show how a man can spin out
of two successive halves, and the crowd
gave him more applause. This was fol-
lowed by a parade, in which Mac lead.
The Turk looked at the crowd and
shook his head, which signified his alb
solute satisfaction of the way things
were going. The Turk caught his man
in one corner and for an instant it
looked as if he really meant to be harsh
with his opponent, but Mac shot out of
his clutches several times. and these
feats seemed to bring the crowd all
over to him, for there was long and
loud applause. The Turk tried for the
scissors, but Mac was too swift. and
he did not try for it again. With a
show of ferocity the big man made a
terrible lunge at Macs legs but the
latter went down right side up and
the Turk fixed the winning half on
him. 1t was a struggle, and'Mac made
good showing, but it was time for the
big lion to act, and he acted. He got
the halfNelson and a leg hook; then
he drew his enormous weight across
Mac and when he settled it all down,
Macs two shoulders We're flat against
the mat. 1t was done in Is minutes
The crowd thought that the Turk had
fouled by choking his man, but this
was a mistake. Mac assured them that
it was no foul.
The second round was in the main a
duplicate of the first. 1t consisted of
trials at arm-holds and half-Nelsons.
Mac walked, a great deal, but studious-
ly managed to keep ON the mat. Oc-
casionally Mac put his hands on the
Turks collar, and when he did so the
| big man merely placed his right over
| his opponents arms and threw him
| weight on him. Mac went out of a num-
! ber Of tight places, but finally the Turk
took half-Nelson and slowly squeezed
his man down to two points after 13
| minutes of play
The last round lasted 16 minutes. and
| the attacks and defenses did not differ
| from those in the former bouts. 1t was
| half-Nelsons and one hammer lock
! The Turk showed signs of fatigue, that
| is, fatigue from too much of the same
| SO he went in to finish the game. He
fastened his mighty right arm around
Macs neck and threw his 300 pounds
| of Turkey across the young man. He
found Macs left leg handy and this he
held with his left. Then he began tt
| grind and squeeze and pull out arms
and legs until he got his man JUS
where he wanted him. Then he bor,
down and waited for the referee to tel
him when to stop. The round lasted II
4 minutes.
Referee Langdon awarded the match
| to the Turk and Mac stepped to tht
front of the stage and said:
"Gentlemen-I did the best I could
| This is the only man who ever made
