HARVEY TYRRELL
WINS THE BOUT
Southern Championship in
Wrestling Is Decided.
LOSER WAS BADLY INJURED
Broke Ribs and Was Rendered Uncon-
scious in Second FaIl-Winner
the Heavier.

Harvey Tyrrcu won the lightweight
championship OF the South from Frank
Huseman at the Washington Light In
fantry ArmOry last night The sport
was as good as has been seen in this
city in some time, but only a fair
crowd attended.
After thirty-tive minutes OF hard
wrestling Huseman got the first fall on
a hammerlock and scissors hold. Tyrreu
got the second fall, when lTuseman n
was thrown so hard that he was ron
dered unconscious, and as he sustained
a fracture of two ribs he was compelled
TO give up. Referee O'Conner then gave
the match TO Tyrrell.
Tyrren weighed In at 13S. which gave
him considerable advantage over his
lighter opponent
Good Match.
The match was highly interesting
throughout. and the spectators regret
ted that IL ended in an accident. Huse-
man clearly showed the value OF his
experience on the road in meeting all
comers, and wriggled out OF several
tight places when he seemed to be on
the verge o. losing the first fall. TyrrelI
showed q powerful chest and pair of
arms. but he was surprisingly thin and
weak looking IN the legs. This lack Of
strength IN his underpinning told when
he tried the scissors hold, and handi-
capped hina on the defense.
Huseman had a splendid development
all over. and was able 10 use every
pound OF muscle on his frame. He
proved to be quick and snappy In his
movements, and his skiIfuI defense was
constant wor-y To Tyrren. who was
somewhat at sea an trying 20 handle his
man in tight places.
In the preliminary bouts Jack Spald-
ing and VIII Turner went TO a draw.
and In the second George Herbert threw
win Curry twice. but had 10 work nard
10 land his man.
