1t took the full five bouts last night to decide the
periority of Dune Mcmillan the Indian chief, Two
Feathers The wresed for hour and 221a minutes
actual wrestling time. During that time of the worst
grueling have in many a day given to the
Indian by Mcmillan.
1t regular feast for the lovers of good work
the mat and if there any Sailing done in the main
event it covered with hard fast work that it Would
have taken Philadelphia expert to have figured out
where it in From the first call Of time it moth
ing but fierce boring in by the Indian who kept at the
veteran Scotchman in a which gave the Mcmillan
hackers cold feet in Judging his ability to stand the fast
work.
AS it was, however, the endurance and stamina of Nc
Man added to his generalship and ceverness brought
him victory in the enda victory which casts dscred
over the magnificent work Of the vanquished Flathead
That awful gruelng in the last bout during the time
Mcmillan working Two Feathers back and forth,
using his weight to enforce half Nelson out of which
the Indian would twist and wrggle time after tme
la punishment which white could have stood for
that time. For than five minutes the bury Scot
was crowding, slammng and bruising the Indian with
every ounce OF strength and ght he possessed until
even Mae grew tired and began to kick the
markabe endurance Of Two Feathers and his ability to
keep point off the under most distressing
ditions.
The first fall went to Two Feathers in 1872 minutes
with crotch and half Nelson. The second fall
lby Mcmillan in IS minutes.
The next fall went to Mcmillan in 1872 minutes and
the fourth to the Indian in 1919 minutes The last fall
took Mcmillan II minutes
All through the bout Two Feathers showed his mar
veous quickness, agility and strength, but in the
former match the Indian showed lack of judgment and
science at the critical points
He would get advantage against the Scotcman
and shove him into tcksh position where with the
# of Soof
would have been down for a fall
But at that point the strength of the Indian seemed
useless against the superior science of his antagonist and
The apparently could not figure out the next Half
la dozen times Two Feathers would have Dune in bad
way with the Of those awful gripping legs, which
|twned about the white mans body with the deadly,
crushing grip of boa constructor and would force him
into locks and positions from which there seemed no
Iescape.
But the Indian there, could so further and,
although he would lay and hold his with compare
tive ease the willy Mcmillan would always take advantage
Iof that lack Of knowledge and in time break away.k
There were times when the Indian would be on top
and almost to the last fatal move where the shifting of
farther up the twist of lock would have done the
business but always the chief would be too far from the
effective hold unable to work himself into the proper
position to enforce the advantage
It surely this inability to follow up the advantage
given him by his strength and quckness that lost Two
Feathers the match.
On the other hand Mcmillan, he got his 60
ing would never let up for second 1t this forcing
the Indian after getting him into position which
wore out even that wiry, steel-like frame.
Mcmillan his falls in exactly the manner he
won from the Indian before. When the would come
to their feet the chief would spring at his like tiger
and generally would unbaance the agile Scot who would
go down and work under for time until he could wrgge
out on top.
Once in position he would begin to his strength and
weight against which the chief would pit his strength
and ltheness to bridge, twist roll from the half
Nelson or bar for which ''Mac' always trying.
1t would finally to where ''Mac'' would get his
Hattenpd and then he relaxed
