Waterbury Democrat., 1901-11-08

. ] Dwyer simply stood there and let
 Kelly tug and tug until he got tired. and then the professor threw hln to | his knees. Then began some scientific work on the part of both men. Kelly
 must be given credit for one thing; he
 showed a well planned defense, and he not only slipped out of many holds, but he himself got on top a couple of times and tried to turn the professor. He was on top but a few seconds. though, l for each time Dwyer would assume a sitting position, and then expanding ] his chest and raising himself to his l feet, he would break Kelly's hold as leasi1y as if it was a.string which was lbinding him. His foot work during | these exhibitions was marvellous, and such an exhibition was never seen here before, Time after time did Dwyer | get the half Nelson on Kelly and had ! him almost down when Kelly, with a | head spin, wa away from danger. Time after time did Dwyer force Kel- l Tvs shoulders towards the mat, but each time the yaseline aided the local
 man. for Dwyer's grip would slip 1 across his head and Kelly was again away. All through the match Dwyer was continually rubbing the grease off Kelly's back and shoulders, but there
 was sufficient on there to prevent Dwyer cleaning him thoroughly. Sey-
 eral times did Dwyer get the double Nelson and strangle holds, which were barred, but each time he immediately dropped the holds without taking ad- i vantage. of them. He was wrestling squarely and fairly. and he was mak- ing many friends by his work. Final- ly. at the end of twenty-thrce minutes. Dwyer secured a half Nelson and leg hold. He slipped his hand to the crotch hold, and strain as he might. Kelly could not break it. Slowly he was forced to the mat until both shoul-. ders touched, and the professor pinned | him there to show that ile was down for keeps.
 Kelly retired to his dressing room for the five minutes rest. and when that five minutes was up Dwyer called 1 for him. when he should have been on the mat. Kelly finally came out and again was his body smnared all over with the vaseIine. Again did Dwyer object, and the referee asked him what he wanted done in the matter, and had he then said Kelly should be disquali- fled he would have been. Dwyer was 1 square, however, and he said he would wrestle him, no matter what he had
 
 quick work, but Dwyer worked at Kel- ly until he had the latter very weary. It was hard to get a half Nelson and hold it because of the slippery condi-. ton of. I\elly's body. Dwyer changed his tactics and he tried for Kelly's legs. After sixteen minutes wrestling he had Kelly standing on his head, and he twisted and squirmed to try and break the hold. Dwyer held him firm and slowly bore down with all his weight. Kelly made brave defense, but the strain was too much and slow ly both shoulders sank to the mat and the second fall was obtained. Kelly had been punished so badly in this fall that he,was scarcely. able to get to his feet, and his opponent kindly assisted him. He was dazed- and turned to- ward the wrong corner until the ref cree led him to his own.
 Kelly was warned to be on time for the next fan, and he was. This time, he had no grease on his body, and Dwyer made short work of him. In three and One-half minutes he had se- cured another half Nelson and crotch hold, and this time it did not slip and Kelly was forced to the mat. The time had been eaten up pretty well, though, and there was out seven min utes left. Out of this seven Kelly took his five minutes rest. There was a wild scene before they got together. The friends of Kelly swarmed around the stage and howled out that time was up. The timekeepers had been mIsled by the agreement after the an- nouncement. They had not taken out the fifteen minutes rest. but when mat ters were explained to them it was cnn fI1ot 1,a and a half. He seized Kelly at the first opportunity and with hip lock threw him to the floor. Kelly was up and doing and he himself gained the top as Dwyer tried to secure an arm hold. but his hand slipped and he went under. They were on their feet when tlme was called and the match was oyer-. .
 Prof Dwyer was around bright and early this morning. and while he felt a. little, chagrined al his defeat he took It all good naturedly and said that it was the first time in his career that he vas .-trimmed by such rick. and it would be the last. He authorized the Democrat to make the following Dropo- sltlon to Kelly. Last night he said he would give Kelly S75. but this morn ing he went that a little better. He VIII 1Of1eft 10 Kelly -SlOU if he does not throw him six times ;n one hour at catch-as-catch-can. This must be one hour of wrestling time, and he will guarantee that Kelly will not be creased the next time either. Kelly Was informed of the proposition when he called around to get his S5O but he did not seem to take. kindly to it. If Kelly wishes to redeem himself in the eyes of the sporting public he will accept this offer. Certainly he made a good showing last night and he has everything to win and nothing to lose.
 Wrestling is waxing warm in Wa terbury and another match may be the result of dispute over the merits of TWO local men. In a West End cafe last night a man named Johnson. who weighs in the neighborhood of 200 pounds and who is rated a pretty strong man. made the remark that there was no man in Waterbury who could throw him two out of three falls. 'fhis remark was backed up by the proprietor of the establishment with SID forfeit for match of SIOO n side. party who was present took up the offer and two S10 forfeits were posted. Those forfeits were posted at the Democrat office this morning and a check for S90 was also denosifad hv
