WATERLOO.
Gould No, Win FROM Either
B Reineckc or Grant Last
Night.
LOST THE HANDICAP MATCH.
Still Supreme in Cornish Style.
My Last Match Here
Said Dwycr.

pwScr struck something like n Water.
loo last night at the Academy.
He was UP against 1t good and hard
for fifty hainutcs OF the warmcst wrcst-
ling seen here yet.
The proposition that confronted the
professor was one that he could not un-
ravel. He wasered that he could throw
Charlie Reinecke and Joe Grant each
twice In an hour. making four falls IN
sixty minutes. with half an hour for,
each man. He specified that the falls
were TO be two in Cornish style and two
in catch.as. catch-can style. and he had
the selection of the falls and the choice
OF men, llo won the first, or Cornish
fall from each man. But he could DO
nothing with them in catch s-catc ll-cail,
though HE tried all known holds, and al
eNpedionts applicable to the game. Inc
two ,niddlewcights were there with che
goods at every point and the crowd was
with them.
In the first fall. Grant was selected by
Dwycr rs his victim, 1t took him i've
and onc-hnlf minutes to throw the stall
wnrt Washington athlete. Before the end
was reached, however, Grant lhrcW
Dryer four times, but the latter With
tie uuickncss OF the wind landed always
on his knees and hands 1t was a prct-
ty exhibition, which gave the crowd lois
Of excuses for applause.
After rest Of five minutes the CATCH
as-catch-can style was begun. Grant
had twenty-four and onc-halt minutes
for resistance. but In most OF lhat t'lne
he was the aggressor, and DwSer was
kept busy defending himself. Some tilc
jo,,o ne In the first fall,
Grant held the crowd. Dryers panthcr-
like movements were met by equally rs
quick ones from Grant. At no time did
Dwyer get Grant in jeopardy, but upon
two occasions the former was torced 70
spin out OF close places to save himsel1.
When time was called by T'lmekeeper
Cowardn, and it was seen that DwSer
had failed to win his wager, the croWd
gave great shout OF approval.
REINECKE'S TURN.
DIVER threw Reincckc in the Cornish
style in five minutes. after some clever
foot work by both men. When the ian
came It was disputed by some of those
in the crowd, but the referee called lt
fall. and SO 1t went, correct. undouotedlS.
A Cornish fall is not ''pin'A fall as IN
tho other styles.
Dryer IS the conceded master OF this
style of wrestling. He has never been

credit for his excellent work.
He struck another snag when he en-
dcavored to put Reinecke's shoulders 70
tho mat. Tho lighter man, profiting by
experience with Dwyer, did not make
so strong a play for the latter's legs.
IIo has learned that that is a dangerous
as we'll as useless point Of attack. re
played more, for the body and neck, and
caught some|good holds that kept the big
man guessing
AS tho time drew near to close, there
we're "A few hot stunts, In which each
man displayed considerable science. Once
It looked like a fall for Dwyer, and IN
1t looked the other way. When
tlme was called ReincclIe was on top
Tho result Of the match showed that
Dwycr had ovcrestimatcd his ability. 1t
was also seen that his constant practice
had worn and weakened him, and that he
lacked his olu-tlme snap.
DSNYER OVERTRAINED.
In his remarks to the audience at the
close of the match he acknowledged
this condition of things himself. He
llso said the other men had won. and that
he had lost his wager. He congratulated
Grant and Reinecke on their success, and
Lhcn said that he had made his last
match in Richmond. Then he thanked
the crowd for their support since he had
been here, and retired.
Both Rcinecke aud Grant were called
upon. The Washingtonian was pleased
with the reception. and said he wanted
another match with Reinecke. This
match may be arranged later.
Rcnecke was given a royal reception
Tho Richmondcr simply thanked the
audience
Tho next match will probably be be-
tween Rcinocke and Frank Lynch,
developed man, of Baltimore,
Who has never been defeated.
Reinecke will appear on the stage at
he Elks' Home tomorrow night and give
| demonstration Of various holds IN
and will also show number
