 ONE-SlDED MATCH.
Redskin Deliberately Loses the First all to Produce Betting
 Vaney No Match for Op- ponent in Second and Third.


 Nearly 400 pounds of bone. sinew and muscle were too much for Sid yarpey. whose cclors were lowered with ease by John Aidfiesky, the giant Cocopah Indian. at Don Luis Sunday afternoon in about the most one-sided wrestling match that has vet taken place in Bisbee.
 Not at any time did Varney. with his 2Os pounds of well-trained flesh. have a look-in. The Indian was his superior at every stage, though neither scienced nor quick, but a man whose strength might well be compared tc that of an ox-
 When the men stepped upon the mat about o'clock to shake hands the disparity in size was apparent to all Big, slow of movement and with little apparent interest in what was doing around him, Middlesky lowered like an elephant overa leopard when 1. he stood beside the well built. active and gritty Varney.
 Referee Sid Coburn called the men to tbe center, introduced them to the crowd of over 1000 people. posed them for photographs, and then gave the word that started a match in which there was not even one redeemlng feature o
 Varney's taking the first fall in 3 minutes and 3S 2-5 seconds was the signal for an outbreak of enthusiasm such as is seldom heard in these parts. Women, boys and men rose to their feet en masse and cheered TOT their fayorite.
 Before yarney secured the first raii the spirits fthe entire crowd. except those who were backing the indian vent to the zero point. Every time he tried to grapple with the giant. the latter brushed him away like child, often sending the white man sprawing ten feet away from him.
 That Msddlesky deliberately laid down the first time for the effect that ii would have on the betting. was ap- parent. No sooner di dhe get 10 his feet again than his manager. H. A. Taylor. produced a roll of greenbacks as big as his leg and offered to bet 10 to that the Indian would win Several were foolish enough to take some of this kind of money.
 When the men advanced for. the second round, yarney was confident that he would get his big opponent For l minute and 2-5 seconds Middle sky continued to brush him on every time yarney tried to ger sociable. At the end of that time they went down, and the Cocopah with much ease and deliberation rolled him over and pinned bot hshouiders to the mat, Var ney being nothing in his hands.
 That Varney had something less than ghost of show was apparent ahen the men came up for the last time. They spared for haif a minute, and Narney, shooting in close. tried 10 get a hold that might produce results. lie was forced to go under on his stomach. Middlesky grabbed him by the leg and arm, rolled him partly over and then, with his right knee on his chest, forced his defeated oppon- ent to go down and out.
 Varney hesitated for fe% seconds before rising It was thought al first that he might have been hurt by the Indians knee. Inside of minute he was able to rise and walk crestfailen and conquered to his dressing room.
 Once in his quarters. Yarney broke down and cried It was the ou.burs st of a man who realizes his defeat, though 1t was at the hands of man far his superior in weight and strength. The sympathy of friends, who gathered around him, Nas good to yarney then.
 It is estimated that Manager Taylor cleaned up between s2,000 and s2,500. though he claimed yesterday that the amount of betting down was much less than many people have been led to suppose
 varney was seconded by Kid Me Ciung. while Manager Taylor looked after his man, when he was not away trying to get his money bet A. E. Hurst and Jack McGee acted as time keepers.
 As a preliminary, Riason. the boy who wants to wrestle Walter Bowman at 125 pounds, and Rasmussen, each secured a fall.
 Taylor stated yesterday that he is ready To match his man against any wrestler in the West. He will be in Los Angeles shortly 10 make. match with Lewis, who was in Bisbee some time ago Middlesky left yesterday for Yuma. which was his home for several years Taylor will leave for there today
