Sailor Jack Says Veteran Can't Throw
Him Twice in Hour.

Him Twice in Hour.
81 haven't any idea that Ed Adam
son can throw me twice in an hour
stated Sailor Jack last night after his
little romp with Young Hacken-
schmidt. by way of reply to the chal-
lenge of the veteran wrestler, remarks
the Duluth Tribune. Adamson
recently offered to wrestle a handicap
match with Sailor Jack and Young
Hackenschmidt, but in view of the lat
ter's farcical showing last night Jack
prefers for obvious reasons to go on
alone with the mat master.
Adamson and Billy Schober both
are angling for bout with Sailor
Jack and one of them probably will be
matched with the marine after the
Adamson- Schober match tomorrow
night. Schober is a gentlemanly young
fellow and has made a favorable inn
preston in the few days he has been
here. His fine stand against Young
Miller shows that he has real class
and that he is tough boy to beat.
Should a match be clinched between
the sailor and Adamson it is probable
that considerable money would be
placed on the result as the Duluth boy
has host of friends who are certain
that even the resourcefu and tricky
Adamson cannot pin his shoulders to
the mat twice in an hour.
