BARTL TAKES BELT
 AWAY FROM SANDOW
THE "DEMON" WINS THE MIDDLE. WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE POLICE GAZETTE TROPHY BEFORE A LARGE CROWD.

| Chattanooga, April 29.-(Special) )--In the Hippodrome here tonight Fred Demon Bartl won the middleweight wrestling championship and the Police Gazette belt before a crowd numbering at between 1900 and 1700 persons. Chicago Sandow has held the belt for the past eighteen months, having won it at the Chicago Coliseum wrestling tourney, after defeat ing six men in finals
 In the match with Bartl at Marion, O., several weeks ago Sandow stumbled over a chair that had been pushed on the mat and was thrown to the floor, dslocating his shoulder, causing him to forfeit the match to Bartl. Tonight is the first time the men have met since and from the start of the bout there was not a dull moment In either of the two bouts.
 After 35 minutes and 25 seconds of light ning-nl<e work, and after each had se- cured all holds known to the wrestling profession, all of which were broken, Bartl secured the toe-hold, made famous by Gotch, and placed the shoulders of Sandow on the mat, winning the first fall. Sandow was first in the ring for the sec ond bout and Bartl did not put in his ap- pearance until three full minutes had elapsed By the rules of the match San dow could have claimed the fall, but re- fused to do so.
 ' This bout was fast and furious from the call of time until Bartl with a body scissor and three-quarter Nelson got Sam dow at his mercy and placed his shoul- ders on the mat, winning the second fall
 
 lice Gazette professional championship midd1eweight belt in 50 minutes and 55 seconds.
 John Rooney the Chicago ex-policeman who refereed the bout, will meet Bartl, Sandow and Frank Daley here next Mon- day night, agreeing to throw the three in seventy minutes.
