Former Secures Two Straight Falls
at Catch-as-catch-can- Curran's
Style-Will Try It Graeco-R Roman
Tomorrow Night-Results Of
the Bicycle Races.

The first of a series of three wrestling
matches, between Louis Cannon and
Jack Curran, was the feature of the card
at the saucer track last night and pro-
vided sport that received verdict Of APP
prevail from those who witnessed it. The
bout was at catch as-ca tch-can style and
was holly contested and spirited
throughout. 1t was a clean exhibition
in every particular and created an inter-
est that would indicate that the proper
kind Of wrestling can again be popular
in Butte.
The match went to Cannon, who won
two consecutive falls after hard strug-
giles. The first fall was secured in 10
minutes and q seconds. and the second
fall in 10 minutes and 50 seconds. A
half Nelson" and the full weight of
Cannons body did the trick in the first
fall. and a "hammerlock' hold, with
considerable body behind it, forced Cur
rams shoulders down from the second
fall. Though catch as-catch-can is not
Curran's favorite style Of wrestling, he
is good at it and gave Cannon all the ar
gument the latter wanted Curran was
mainly on the defensive and frequently
in spinning, twisting or otherwise break
ing holds showed himself to be as slip
perry as an eel.
When the wrestlers took the mat they
announced their weights as: Curran,
151 and Cannon. 16S. They looked more
evenly matched. They agreed to bar the
strangle hold and flying falls and de-
cided that the two points down. should
be pin falls. The sporting editor of
the Inter Mountain was chosen referee.
Cannon and Curran will wrestle again
Tuesday, tomorrow, at the latter's favor
lite style-Graeco-R Roman. The bout will
be best two falls in three, as was the
case last night The occasion will be
known as overland Club Night"

excitement as usual and the vaudeville

hand ballancer in his extraordinary feats
was we'll received. Ed Baidsen, the
''Rube" trick rider did not go on because

Judges Decide Cadillac's Measurements
Are Wrong and Allow the Yacht
Greater Canvas Spread.
(By Associated Pres

Chicago Aug. 12.-The judges Of the
international yacht race for the Cam
ada's cup last night gave out the an.
nouncement that the Cadillac, the defen-
der, may increase the base Of her fore
triangular 4.36 feet. This Is correction
with a vengeance and means that the
Cadillac can carry out its bowsprit
feet and inches, thereby increasing the
area of its jib by about hundred square
feet and can increase the length of its
spinnaker boom by feet 1 inches. and
consequently can set out a much larger
spinnaker.
The announcement has caused much
criticism, particularly as the announce
ment comes after one race has been
sailed. It had been known all day that
some wrangling about the measurements
had been going on. One explanation il
that the measurer made a big blundeP.
What the real reason is the officials re-
fuse to say.
