George Braun Holds YOkOyama
to a Draw After Three
Exciting Bouts

After fighting three rounds of jiu
Jitsu, 20 minutes to each round, with
five minutes intermission. Referee
Roger Cornell skied the hands of both
Yokoyama and George Braun, signify
ing draw In the jiu jitsu match at
Dreamland rink last night.
Two thousand spectators, nearly all
Japanese, saw the match, and the way
they cheered their countryman he must
be popular The sport is sort Of
hybrid between wrestling and curb
stone fighting, as no holds and few
punches are barred. on several occa
sions Braun tried left jabs with his
elbow, but the Japanese was clever ana
danced away. He showed remarkable
footwork, and by clever trips tossed
Braun out of the ring twice.
SO far wrestling rules are con
cerned. Braun had a clear shade, as he
was stronger than the Japanese and had
MN on the mat nearly all the time,
but the rules of jiu jitsu declare that
man must be unable to continue before
he is beaten and must tap on the mat
three times with his hand or foot in
token of defeat
All kinds of rough work goes in jim
Jltsu One fighter may toss the other
clean out of the ring and no foul is
allowed. During the progress of the
second round the Japanese got a foot
hoid under Braun's stomach and was
working him out of the ring. An
american spectator who did not un-
derstand the rules of the game at
tempted TO push Braun back, and it
looked as though he would be mobbed
by the Japanese. They made a rush at
the offender, struck al him with UNI
brellas, and only for a few cooler heads
among the Japanese there light have
been a small riot.
