corcH THROWS FRENcHMAN.

Kansas City. Mo, March 20
Frank Gotch, of Iowa, champion
wrestler of the world, tonight re-
tanned his title by defeating Raoul
De Rouen, of France in two straight
falls. The winning fall was won
with Gotch's famous toe hold. The
Frenchman allowed his shoulders to
be put to the mat almost without ef-
fort. De Rouen was repeatedly
cheered for his gameness.
The champion was never in serious
trouble and it soon became evident
that his ultimate victory was only a
matter of time. Gotch really won
the bout in the first fall when he so
weakened his opponent with the toe
hold that Re Rouen did not care TO
repeat the experience in the second
fall. The time for the falls was 3f:35
and 13 minutes fiat respectively.

room, judge, jury and spectators, /
would plead the case from my point of
view-and of course it was always
decided by my argument-'Oh,' said
to myself one day, If dreams would
only come true!' But dreams will
not give man the wherewith to keep
the wolf from the door, and felt as

a man and then plead my own case.
