To Burns Credit.

To Burns Credit.
The two men compared in science were
practically balanced 1t cannot be said
that Burns was outwitted He was equal
to Gotch In every point where the knowl-
edge of the game figured and had he had
an opponent nenarer his size there is
little doubt that he would have won the
match. Gotch was much stronger and
much heavier, and somewhat more active
than Burns.
There is much that might be said about
Goteh but he told it all in his work last
night. There is perhaps no more per-
feet man living and his powerful strength
was demonstrated by his ease in picking
Burns 40 pounds up in his arms and
choosing his holds with his man suspend
ed in the air While none of the holds
thus secured proved of much use it was
wonderful to see him handle the weight
involved.
The crowd present last night saw the
best wrestling match that has ever been
seen here and there will hardly be such
another hare at an early date. The two
greatest men in America, when it comes
To wrestling, were brought together and
practically all of the science known to
wrestlers. was exercised during the course
of the fight. Gotch still holds the heavy
weight championship and Burns, while
he won nothing in the way of a title. did
not lose his light weight championship.
From standpoint of interest when
the fact that it was the champion who
appeared is eliminated the matches be-
tween Parr and Burns created the more
intense excitement. Yet, the crowd last
night was enthusiastic. and throughout
the house men arose to their feet to wit
ness the battle of skill that was being
waged Throughout the event, people
cheered, and the applause was so deafen-
ing that it penetrated several blocks
away.
Enthusiastic Crowd.
The favorite was the indomitable Farm
err Burns. He has appeared so often in
Birmingham, and has come out victorious
In so many events, that the majority of
the spectators hoped against hope that
ne would win, and by winning, regain the
lost American championship. However.
when it was seen that Gotch had de-
cidedly the best of the argument, many
cries for Gotch To win were heard
throughout the auditorium
The people We're electrified at times by
the skillful manouvering of the two,
perhaps the most skilled of the profes.
sion At times, Burns would leap from
under the champion. and turn back
'comersault in the air AT other times,
Gotch -ould feint so cleverly that even
the veteran was deceived, to find later
that the attack WAS from another direc-
ton altogether. The vast audience was
pleased
Another interesting feature was that
neither of the men was afraid. Burns did
not fear to tackle the heavier champion,
and when they stood upon their feet,
Gotch always knew where to find his
former master. The fight was not equal

Burns Won Fall.

Gotchs wonderful ability 10 follow up
his holds was beautifully demonstrated
in the manner in which he threw Burns.
He worked in his famous toe-hold on
Farmer" but Burns wggled out of the
situation, and broke the hold after sew
eral minutes of hard work. Gotch, how
ever, converted his hold into half Nell
son and crotch and from this he got his
opponent into a bridge, which Farmer
held for about two minutes. Gotch then
secured the English bar lock" and with
his two hundred pounds of bone and
muscle bore the lightweight champion
to the mat.
The victory of Burns in the second
fall set the magnificent crowd wild. Goteh
had Burns down on the mat with half
Nelson that looked good. The veteran
wrestler saw his opportunity to work in
what is said to be one of the Oldest
tricks in the game of wrestling. He sim
ply locked his right arm into Gotchs
right. and with a side roll carried the
big champion over and rolled up square
on top of him. converting this position
into one which Gotch was apparently
unable to get out of.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1907-02-08
Used Toe-Hold.

The third fall was decidedly the fast
est of the three. Both men went in with
violent work and Gotch first went to the
floor Burns secured a back hammer
lock" and he crowd was brought to its
feet when he came near downing the
champion. Gotch, however, by a quick
flip of the body, broke the hold and
landed on top of Farmer" with a half
Nelson. From this he converted the hold
into a toe-hold and drawing Burns foot
up into his stomach carried his shoulders
square to the mat Twenty-one minutes
was required to accomplish the act.
The match was one of numerous feat
jures. Burns was defeated last night for
the first time in Birmingham. His work
against Gotch was wonderful when the
size and weight of the two men is con-
sidered. and his endurance of the punish
ment received at the hands of Gotch was
admirable His wonderful strength was
taxed to its utmost capacity throughout
the match and its effectiveness was
shown when he slung Gotch off the plat
form erected for the event.
While Burns was the aggressor when
standing, he had little chance to work
on Gotch when the two were on the
floor He was almost continually under
the big man. Burns weak point for
Gotch was in his legs and here the cham
pion spent most of his effort. Burns
legs would not stand against his pow
erful arm and in this was the cause of
his defeat

The matter was the cause Of great

For absolutely no cause, Chief Off
Ger Ansell claims, he was removed
to petition the Secretary Of the War
Department to institute an investiga-
ton.
4Snsell was chief officer Of the trans
port Sheridan when she ran ashore on
BARRIERS Reef, near Honolulu, on Au-
gust 31st. He had nothing to do with
the navigation of the vessel at the
time, and according to the officers of
the United Statese revenue cutter Man
ming, and others present at the saving
Of the ship, performed his duties in a
thorough manner.
1t is said, however, that Captain

prejudicial to the saving of the vessel,
Chief Officer Ansell refused to accept
them. The result was Captain Hum

When the Sheridan met mishap at
BARRIERS Point, Supervising Engineer
Donnelly and Richard Sture, a rigger
were sent to assist in getting the YES

Captain Humphreys assumed charge
Of the proceedings, though he had no
marine training say transport officers,
and directed the work of saving the
transport.
Captain Peabody took Humphreys
orders, but Ansell, true to his Captain
would take orders from no one but
him.
In the notice of dismissal no mention
is given as to the cause for the action
and the friends of Ansel state that
the matter will be brought to the at
tention of the Secretary of War, and it
may possibly have a thorough investi-
cation, which it is said will result in
some unpleasant disclosures.
The removal of Peabody and Ansell
occasioned tremendous surprise, as the
United States Local Inspectors of Hulls
and Boilers who made an investigation
Of the Sheridan's stranding, have not
rendered a verdict, and will not until
advices have been received from Homo

vessel having grounded on an un-

Editor National Tribune: AS ouI
strenuous President has taken up the
cudgels for simplified spelling without
decisive results. however worthy the
object sought to be attained, perhaps
he did not begin right In view of the
fact that SO per cent. or more of the
masses pronounce his surname literally
as 1t is spelled, Roosevelt" he ought
to have included the dropping OF an
co. from his own name in the list, for
the sake of consistency. OF course
this might interfere with old historical
Dutch traditions and customs, but these
cannot be preserved if we would spell
as we pronounce. which is, I take it.

gest that our worthy President revise
