Better Than They Expected.

The Decorah Journal, one of whose
editors witnessed the wrestling match
of last Friday has this to say of it:
Peterson and Pecoy are two good
men. They each weigh about 1SO lbs.
PEGGY is better than the Decorah con-
tingents thought him. Peterson is a
seasoned campaigner and probably the
best man that has wrestled in this
neighborhood for quite number of
years.
The first fall took two hours and
forty-four minutes. During that time
Peterson was always on the offensive
and did all the work. He seemed
stronger and more confident than Pc
coy. 1t looked as if there was no
chance for PEGGY to throw Peterson; it
was question of whetherPeterson could
throw PEGGY, and hard job it proved.
PEGGY is fast, slippery, and seem to
be master of defence. He broke doz-
ems of wicked holds. Once he stood
up with Peterson having full Nelson
on him. Other times he got out of
half Nelson's and double Nelson's by the
suppleness of his shoulders.
In the same paper Peterson makes
the following signed statement:
81 guarantee this match will go to a
finish. There will be no draw. He
Pecoy) has got to beat or I'll beat
him."
