 Did Up George Bothner.
e5 WEST MAIN ST..

Knoxville, Tenn, April 1.-The people of this city were again given clean exhibition of -theteartSqk wrestling Monday night. wheh the Little Turk, of Waterbury, Conn and Louis Winnie came together.
 After the preliminary match was finished the main event of the even- ing, in which no small amount of interest was manifested. was called. Dr J. U. Roach acted as referee and Frank Wheeler as time-keeper. The Little Turk and Winnie took their places on the mat, shook hands, and the fun commenced. It was seen from the first fall that Winnie was very much man and would be able to give the Turk the worth of his money and then some. The. mat work of this pair of trained men was interesting. First one would have the advantage of his opponent and apparent an easy victory would be in sight, when with lightning rap idity the positions would change and the other fellow would be on too with the apparent chances in his favor. Winnie proved himself to be an expert at breaking the full and half-Nelsons of the Turk, not one of them at any time proving at all dan gerous. The Turk would at times have his opponent in the most dan , gerous positions. and he would slip hut of them with an ease and dexter- ity which was surprising 10 the spec tators.
 Both men were in the very prime of condition, being trained to nice ty. the muscles In their bodies stand ing out like bundles of iron. and they were quite evenly matched as to weight. But 1t was apparent from the start that Winnie was outclassed. and that the Turk had no fear as to the riinal outcome of the match. .i1- eThe first fall was won by the lit- tie Turk in 27 1-2 minutes. A rest of ten minutes was then taken and the men came on for the second, which was won by Winnie in 30 min- utes. This added to the interest in the event and when the men came on for the third and final fall 1t was with expectancy that the crowd watched every move on the mat. But the Turk made short work of this fall. winning it in less than five minutes.
