Young Gotch Throws Freebourn.
Young Gotch, one OF the best wrestlers
OF his weight in the country, took two
out Of three falls from Jimmy Freebourn
OF Randolph at Dubois & Gays hall last
evening. 1t was a hard and long strug-
gle. Freebourn fought desperately and
gained one quick and clean fall. There
was good sized crowd out, who enjoyed
the rather strenuous sport The wrest-
ling was after the catch-as-catch-can or
der.
Charles Bixby's opponent failed to an
pear on account of the disordered train
service, and William Behrendt, a Ram
dolph boy, tackled him. Behrendt is a
beginner, but good one. He acted alto
eetbes on the defensive Il took Bixbv
IL minutes to secure frst fall With a
half-nelson and arm scissors, and 26 min
utes to score the second with full body
bold. Bixby was the lighter, but more
experienced. Karl Jamas3n OF White
River Junction refereed this match.
The 500 side bet for the Gotch-Free-
bourn bout was called of ty the referee.
Bob Somerville. Eli Bourbon of Clare
mont, n. H., offered to throw either man
twice in an hour.
In the first bout, Freebourn acted on
the defensive, wriggling out of many a
sure-enough hold. Finally, after 42L
minutes, Gotch got him with body
hold.
Freebourn wsded in next time and aft
er 10 minutes fioored Gotch with a chan
Gerry and half-nelson.
Bob Somerville offered to meet ANYBODY
at 135 to 40 lbs. and declared his ability
to throw either Rogers or SulIy of Bethel
three times in an hour.
Gotch and Freebourn went at il in
earnest the third time. Gotch secured a
body and full-nelson, but it took him
nearly ten minutes to get the two should
ers for three consecutive seconds. The
bout lasted 81 minutes.
Gotch weighed 146 and Freebourn I53.
Another meeting between these two
would be worth seeing.
