in the match. for the Italian was
true to the reputation which had proceeded
him and started to rough It from the very
start, but this did not bother Frank
If John Parrelli thought he could
any advantage over Frank Gotch
of Humboldt. Ia. champion Of the world,
by roughinE 1t he soon had that idea
out OF bis head. To those who
were in a position TO see, it was most
evident that the affair was simply q
romp for the champion, who, in spite OF
the rough work of the Italian, kept his
head at all times and let M. italy out
of several tight places from pure kind
ness Of his heart or from a desire TO give
the large number Of spectators a better
run for their money.
Parrellis actions at times resemoled
more the work OF a pugillst than a
wrestler, but this had no terror for Gotch,
who simply walked into his blows and
laughed at him at all times.
Gotch leaves this morning for his home
at Humboldt for q short visit, when he
will hasten on to Chicago TO train for his
match with Mahmout, the Turk. April
IL. He carried with him a cut under
the eye from one Of the Italians blows.
At one time Gotch had one of his famous
toe holds on Parrelli. but when the
Italian beloved III released the hold.
smiled and went after him in another way.
At another time Parelli bit Gotch on the
nrm az the champion was trying for a
half Nelson. This reused the ire of the
champion for an instant. but in a moment
he smiled and released the toe hold he
had grabbed to punish the Italian for his
brutal work.
GOteh Master at All Times.
Gotch was master of himself and of the
situation at all times, whereas the Italian,
while he had strength and speed, would
lose his head and place himself at a dis
advantage when pitted against a man like
Gotch. This was shown more clearly when
after the second fall, Gotch walked toward
his conquered foe with extended hand. In
stead of grasping his hand, the Italian
made a vicious swing at Gotch's face but
missed. This did not even ruffle the dis
position Of the champion, who kept walk
ing toward his antagonist, when the latter
relented his outburst of temper and seized
his extended hand.
All this does not tend to show that the
Italian was not a good wrestler, for he
was, but he was so clearly .outmatched
when pitted against Gotch that 1t was
simply a matter OF time until Gotch would
put his shoulders to the mat. Perrelli put
up a hard fight and was on the offensive
from the very start.
The wrestlers lost no time in Juggling and
pulling from a standing position. but at
the onset Perreilli rushed in and grabbed
Gotch by the legs. Gotch got away BY his
superior strength, and an instant later the
Italian had him by the legs again, and
again did Gotch get away. Perrelli rushed
In and was after Goteh all the time and
moved al such speed that it kept the cham
pion busy keeping out of the road of the
rushes he would make at Gotch's legs.
Again did Perrelli grab Gotch by the legs.
and this time the champion threw him
through the ropes. Even the referee had a
strenuous task in keeping out OF the way
OF the terrific onslsughts the two would
make at each other. No livelier match
was ever seen at the Auditorium.
For the third time in the first fall Gotch
put the Italian through the ropes and thus
let him get way from a good hold. When
they came back, however, Gotch rushed
In and was behind in less than a fifty, and
grabbing a double lock and q reverse Nell
son soon had his adversary's shoulders to
the mat, In IL minutes 10 seconds.
They had not wrestled long in the second
fall until the Italian got behind, but he did
not stay Ions, as Gotch simply threw him
over his head and was soon behind. Again
the italian got behind, but Gotch simply
Strengthened up and was away. The round
was fiercely contested, but Gotch ended Il
In ten minutes fiat by a body hold. with
which he stood the Italian on his head and
crushed his shoulders TO the mat.
Burns Makes Talk.

corner. wss called on for a speech. and he
laudsd his former pupil by telling the
crowd that all wrestlers looked alike "a
