colored and with a wonderful pair OF

tion of muscular Development.
1t was about 9:45 O'Clock when the

their feet battling n another wit
their hands like q pair of fighters,
when suddenly the Dane got a geo,
hold and before the Mexican knew
what was up both wrestlers we're
sprawling Oh the mat. Neromus sud
denly g1t to his feet again and H. 2.
had all kinds of trouble in getting D
grip on him but he finally got a leg
hold and down to the mat again went
the Mexican. Slowly but surely the
Dane worked from the foot hold to
the neck hold and Neromus turned
oyer on his back. Some one in the
crowd yelled HE is not down." so
to prove the clean sport that he is,
Hansen held him in this difficult posi-.
tion for fully half a minute. The
time was twenty-six minutes.
Each 4 wrestler was allowed ten
minutes rest, after which they again
entered the ring. This time Hansen
was a little careful as he had sprained
his elbow eighty. For fully ten
minutes the men kept nagging at one
another like two cats. when suddenly
II. P. threw his man to the mat and
for q short time they struggled on
their knees, and then Neromus brok,
away and got on his feet.
Again they grappled and down t.
the mat they went. This time they
worked toward the wall and Hanse'
WAS pinned in such a position that il
was impossible for him to move. TIL

them all, for each wrestler had gained
q fall and neither wanted to iose thu
match. They worked like demons

N-romus but the big Mexican broke
away and for some time they had a
battle at arms length, hut at last Il

After the last bout Neromus raised
q great cry that he was not down
when the referee had called him, and
he wanted the referee to leave it to the
crowd as to whether 1t should be a
draw or not. The referee said he la d
made his decision and he felt that he
was In the right and he could not
change the decision. Neromus then
wanted to leave it to the crowd, but
some of the audience was inyfavor Of
Hansen and Others were in favor OF
Neromus.
After some wrangling on the part OF
Neromus, Hansen finally agreed to
meet him at any time or any place, so
Nermous said that he would be
ready for another 90 about the first
week in April. This was satisfactory
to II. P, and it is expected that
arrangements will be completed for
the bout.
The preliminaries were between
Jorgsn Hansen and John Larsen.
Hansen won the first in seven and one
half minutes. The second bout was q
draw. The last bout went to Larsen
in eleven minutes. SO the match was
declared a draw. The Style was
catch as catch-cau.
For all bouts J. Fl. Donehue acted
as referee, while "Bill" Hoffner held
the watch.
