 Charlie Stone. champion of Sweden and right now the idol of the Bisbee mat fans, made a monkey out oG John Middleski, otherwise known IS the Big Indian. Champion of California in match pulled on Sunday after noon at the orpheum thea-er in the presence of a crowd of 700 enthusi- astie followers of the game.
 The Indian is no wrestler. That was evident He depends upon his size and strength to carry him throl gh He displays absolutely no sclence, cannot take a hold or break one after he gets into it and impressed the audi ence that he does not know the ganr.
 Some used the bar-hammerlock hold successfully twice and Middlesd couldn't wiggle when Charlie once got his arm in his vise-like grip. t took just two minutes and ten sec onds. for Stone to put he Indian on his back in lie first fall. In the sec
 
 ond it lasted longer, taking Charlie just an even six minutes to put him down
 To start of, they spared for a min ute or so before going to the floor. The Indian didn't know how to handle himself. He ponderously tried for several holds, but the active Stone got away from him easily. Everything the Indian put forth was met with turn and jump, and before Middlesh could return to the attack Stone was. once more on his guard and waiting for more Stone tried for holds. but couldn't reach around the Indians waist and the red man went. to the floor, rising to his knees, face down, and planning to act on the defensive. Quick as flash Charlie fastened the hammerlock upon him, wore his, arm out of the running and gradually worked the giants shoulders over iii- til they touched the mat. Referee Kin ney gave him the fall and the crowd went wild
 After fifteen-minute intermission they went at it again. Middleski dis played little more activity He tried tosrush Stone into something, but the latter invariably jumped aside. with the activity of a cat. for one of his weight, and the nothing doing" sign sticking out all over Stone began to laugh and the crowd with him. The Indian got mad and went after him faster, probably about the swiftest he could move at any stage of the game haif-ne1sons, holds and everything the Indian had ever heard of. He let him do the leading at all stages Finally, becoming disgusted, he re- solved to put an end to the affair The Indian made a vicious try for his body. Stone rushed in with all his strength, bore the Indian to the mat over the lines and nearly over the footlights into the audience. Referee Kinney brought them back to the mid dle Of the mat the Indian took his position in a defensive attitude and Stone bent over him to try Q hold. Instantly he again fastened the bar hammer lock upon him, twisted him gradually over until Referee Kinney announced that the champion Of . Sweden had once more proven him self the better man.
 Much talk aas gone the rounds about frame up" fake" and one thing and another that to anyone who un derstands the wrestling game this sounds ike a. bunch of superannuat- ed corral dust. Stone can throw that Indian any ofd time he wants to and any sport interested in the welfare of wrestling viii agree with the writer that brute strength though backed hy perhaps a couple of hundred pounds
