According to the conditions, the principals IN the
semi-1na! bouts were asked to wrestle SIX mlnuleS
and if neither man had gained a fall at the end
OF that time the referee had the power to order
an extra period of three minutes, provided ne Iouhu
IT impossible TO pick a winner on points In the
finals the men were told that, In the event or no
fall at the end of the first six minutes an extra
bout would be required. Such quick action pre-
vailed in the finals, however, that there was no
need to order extra time.
There was one protracted contest in the semi
finals which will long be remembered This was
in the 15S- pound class. where Narganes mad the
sturdy Martin Luedeck of the Educational ALI
ance, for opponent. The rivals tugged ana
hauled, and used their brains as well as muscle
throughout the first six minutes without either
man leaving his feet. An extra period was prompt
y ordered, with the same result whereupon the
referee ordered another three minute session.
When the time limit had nearly expired Mar
games with cat-lke move, got his man to the
mat and a moment later he applied half-NelsOn
so vigorously that Luedeck's shoulders
downed. 1t case of science prevailing over
strength. The time 1888.
AS Charles Friesland, of the Norwegian Turn
Veren, drew a bye in this class the tired Mar
games had to meet a fresh man in the final, but
the New York Athletic Club crack again proved
equal to the occasion by cleverly throwing Fries
land with double hold in trife less than
five minutes In 1907 Narganes the national
title but did compete year ago Recently

same class.
Bauers made short work OF Arthur Lee, of the
Harlem Young Mems Christian Association, in the
1876 pound class. After forty-six seconds the New
arker, with body hold, stood Lee on his head
forciby that the Harlem graPpler saw stars
and had to be assisted to his chair. Bauers is
also the metropolitan champion.
Another bout in which rough work prevailed was
the l25-pound class between Ruggiero and lis
c.ubmate, Peter MandeIlo The latter was thrown
heavily, and IN attempting to bridge the back of
his head struck the mat with thud. He was
knocked out for while, but recovered.
