Defeats Terrible Turk in Sen
sationaI Nesting Match
Of Last Night.
CROWD WAS IN A Juror.
EXCITEMENT DURING STRUGGLE
WAS iNTENSE-DlRTY TACTICS
USED BY THE TURK, BUT SCI
ENcE DEFEATED HIM.
BY Tort.

about eight hundred wildly excited
members of the local sporting frater-
nifty howled, whooped and ran about
in circles like decapitated rooster
last evening at the coliseum when
Charles Olson, American light heavy
weight champion, defeated Bob Man
ogoff, the Turk, after desperate con-
test. Many of the fans stormed the
ring. climbing under the ropes and
shaking hands with the victor.
Throughout the match the Turk en-
ployed dirty tactics, repeatedly foul
ing Olson with the strangle hold
Manogoff won the first fall with this
hold, almost garroting his lanky OPP
ponsnt with his legs. Referee Gel re-
fused TO allow the foul and the crowd
promptly and vigorously. showed its
disapproval. From that time on every
spectator was rabid supporter Of the
American.
Angered by the unfair tactics Of the
Turk in the first bout Olson went af-
tor him with vengeance after that
and 1t will be long time before a
local crowd again sees such a combi-
nation Of desperate. vicious, dirty and
scientific exhibition of the mat game.
In the second bout it took Olson just
seven and a half minutes to sink the
shoulder blades of his opponent
squarely into the mat. This was the
signal for pandemonium.
With the match horse and horse,
the third bout opened with a whirl-
wind Of strenuous wrestling. Three
times the Turk secured hand stran-
gle hold on the Yankee. compelling
Referee Del to break it each time
These fouls we're quickly detected by
the crowd which without loss of time
poured forth its wrath on the Turk.
Notwithstanding the foul tactics of
Manogoff, the American was his mas
ter at every stage of the game. The
Turk employed brute strength to de-
feat Olson, the later not only employ
ed his great strength but science as
well. In the third bout Olson hurled
the Turk under the ropes. then reach
ed down and pulled him back into the
ring, growing come back in here. "
Olson won the final bout and the
match after twenty minutes of hard
fighting.
Promoter Charlson, Notwithstanding
his splitup with Omer Murray, has
evidently decided not to abandon
such a fertile field as Richmond to
his former partner, for he announce d
last evening that Olson would meet
either Peterson or Demetral, the
Greek, on November 12. Murray states
that he will pull off at the coliseum
on November "the best wrestling
match ever seen in this part OF the
country" He has not announced who
the principles will be.
Prior to the Olson-Turk match last
night the audience was bored to death
by bout between two lightweights
Wiley and Olcott. The former won
the first bout and the latter the sec
ond and third rounds. The usual pest
the camera man, was among those
present. The smoke from his flash
light simply suffocated the specta
tors and the wrestlers A continuation
OF this practice is good way to keer
people from attending the bouts.
