NATIONAL
THE WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP

At the Orpheum on last Saturday
evening, the sporting public OF
this city were given opportunity to
witness, for the first time, cham
pionship wrestling match. The con-
testants in the game were Hans
Froelecher, slated as 16S-pound
champion, and Frank Kanae, a 19O-
pound Hawaiian, strong and willing,
but a novice at the wrestling game.
The audience present at the hour an
nounced for the beginning of the
contests, $3.50 O'Clock, was large, rep
resentative and enthusiastic. Prompt
ly on time the manager announced
that a preliminary boxing bout, BILL
ed to take place, was OFF for good
and sufficient reasons; he then intro
duced Harry Cobb, the referee OF the
matches. The entire of Sailor Bill
Roberts of the Iroquois with the Ha-
waiian contestant, Kauahi, was hall
ed with applause. The pair soon got
to work in their wrestle for suprem-
acy. but in two minutes Roberts had
his opponent down and with the de-
cision to him. Roberts showed In
this preliminary bout that he was
quick and knew the game. A second
try between these two contestants
resulted almost as quickly in Rob-
erts' favor, he winning the two falls
and whatever title was in It,
introduced and wrestled three bouts
in true Japanese style, an event prov
ing quite interesting to the specta-
tors. Two of the three bouts were
won by Isoharas, an eX-champion of
japanese wrstlers. Following the
japanese wrestlers came the event of
the evening, the championship
match. At little after o'clock
Hans Froelecher, accompanied by his
trainer Professor Pete Barron, APP
peared and was given an ovation.
Soon after, his opponent Frank Ka-
nae entered with his trainer, VIII
Prestidge. and the manner in which
the Hawaiians greeted him showed
him to be great favorite. Both
Ayres and Harry Cobb introduced the
contestants, Froelecher's weight be-
ing given at 165 pounds, Kanae at
1870. After shaking hands the wres-
tiers got together, Froelecher eau
tious, Kanae eager to get his weight
to work. After about seven minutes
of pushing and struggling, Froelech-
, err sent Kanae to the mat, back up,
and by half Nelson and crotch hold
soon turned him over with both
shoulders down. After rest the
champion contestants came together
again, and after strong struggle by
Kanae he was again downed and
Froelecher became the winner of
match and title. After this Sailor
Roberts and Champion Froelecher
gave an excellent exhibition of wres-
Ting tactics showing many of the
difficult hooks and holds. Both men
here showed their good training in
the activity and the tumbles which
came and went without strain or in
| jury. The entertainment was car
| ried out most successfully and the
| attendance showed that Honolulu
has large sporty public and it took
advantage of the opportunity.
