on the defensive most of the time, ana
the Des Moines man was hard pressed
repeatedly to keep from being pinned
down. Springer broke and got away
from several head and hammerlock
holds. and half Nelson's Mcleod won
the fall by turning on Springer, when
the latter had him on his head and sue
ceeded in pinning him down with his
legs.
Mcleod won the third fall in S:55
with a crotch and half Nelson. Nc
Leod again assumed the aggressive
and the failing strength Of Springer
began to tell early. Several times Nc
Leod came within fraction of an inch
of having Springer three points down,
but each time Springer broke the hold
or slipped away.

george Springer, OF Des Moines,
IN the best two out OF three falls,
catch -catch- can style of wrestling
at the Odeon tneater in a lively bout
which lasted for little less than half
an hour. An audience of perhaps $50,
most of whom were men and boys, saw
q good exhibition of the sport on the
mat.
Mcleod, who is known turnout the
country as an exceedingly clever mid
dleweight wrestler, had the best of IL
most Of the way thru the match. BE
was In much better condition than
Springer and he was much the strong
er. He showed a greater knowledge OF
the game, and assumed the aggressive
most of the time. Springer, however,
proved very clever. especially on the
defensive He repeatedly got away from
Mcleod when 1t seemed that nothing
could save him from being put to the
mat. The lack of condition began to
tell on him early in the match, and he
weakened toward the end. while Nc
Leod remained comparatively fresh.
Springer surprised Mcleod and the
entire audience by getting the first fall
In the quick time of LAS, with side roll
hold. II was SO quickly and cleverly
done that 1t was over before the aud
fence realized that Mcleod had been
pinned to the canvas.
Mcleod won the second tali IN 1874

justice IN trying 10 make me pay Il
all. During the time that you made
those 81 visits you smoked my CT

I'd al my bedside, put my flowers In

Of figs and frequently lunched on the

that you would credit me with the
price Of the meals Nov you want
me to pay you for eating my food.
The medicine for which you ask

ment and a porous plaster. The
porous plaster is still With me. but
the liniment you took away on your
last visit. am expecting every
day 10 have you come and tear the
plaster from my back.
II evidently costs money 10 be
