a shake Of the head Alderman knew
Uhat he was up against too stiff a prop
Osltlon to take a chance on,
AT that there were plenty of wagers on
the result with plenty of Ackerman back
ers. They went the same way that the
OConnell and Karp hackers went and
the Yokel men won again.
One of the distinct features of the
match was the representative Salt Lake
audience present. Bankers, lawyers, doc
tors, business and mining men were pres
ent and they all enjoyed the game. There
were no unpleasant features and the in
teTest in the match was intense.
At times there was cheering, in which
Ackerman shared as we'll as YOkel, and
at other times the house was quiet as the
men Unanswered for hold.
Alderman Talks.
After the match in talking to his
friends, Ackerman said that Yokel was a
great wrestler.
"OConnen, Karp and the others can
talk, he said, but they cannot throw
Yokel. All I ask is that / get return
match not short Of two months at las
pounds at p. m. I am willing to sign
articles any way Yokel wants on the di-
vision OF the gate, winner take all or
an even split I will also back myself for
$500 side bet. If I get the match will
stay here and work only to get my knee
in shape. 1 hope he accepts"

c.. A. went 10 minutes TO a draw, Macke
being the aggressOr. Dale Dean, the Y
M. Z. a. mtddleweight champion, threw
Lloyd, the 135-pOund champion, in five
minutes, Lloyd making a hit with the
crowd by staying behind his man for haIf
OF the time
To Promoter Harry Heagren and the
others that had worked to make the
match a success, is due much credit
While had YOkel not succeeded in finding
Ackerman's weak point the match would
nave been longer those that apprsciat e
high class wrestling enjoyed the match,
1okefs friends were jubilant over his
victory.
He has thrown them all and has TO
weak spots. He is entitled TO the cham
plonship and will have a host of hackers
TO say that he can defend the title
against all Corners,
With O'ConneH it was a hard trip on the
cars; with karp it was weakness in maxi
ing weight; with Alderman it was a knee
They all had their excuses, while Yokei
went on getting the falls Alderman said
whole lot however, when he said that
Yokel was good enough to find his weak
spot.

New York. Feb. 25.-The Pacific coast
pair. Carl r. Gardner and Gustav F.
Touchard, today won the indoor ma
tfonal championship in the lawn tennis
doubles on the courts of the Seventh
regiment armory. They defeated W. B.
Cragin, jr., and Miles 5. Charlock Of the
Elizabeth Town and Country club. after
five gruelhng sets, 81, So, 10, 6-1 and
81 In every respect the match was
one Of the most notable ever played for
the titles. Gardner was disappointing.
His service was weak and his vOlley-
ing wide of the court. Only the bril-
liancy of TOuChard saved the match.
His overhead smashing was excellent
and his crOSs-vOIeying earned many
points at critical moments. Steadiness
was the main feature of the losers

feet and it was due to this sort of
playing that the match was closely
scored.

was in better shape then than at times
during my fight with Cans at Goldfield,
and, had the fight not been stopped, the
result would have been different.
"WOlgast had no punch left, whereas
1 always have that knockout blow in re-
serve. 1 am confident that I can whip
AID in a return match. 1 gave Cans a
return match and l expect WOlgast to
do the same by me. The swelling IN my
face is going down and I am eating like

After three minutes they went TO the

Yokel went after the toe hold. but Ack-
erman's defense for that attack was per
After 10 minutes Alderman broke away
from a toe hold and got to his feet 70
KEEL went right after him, however, ana
secured an arm and crotch hold, which
again placed him on top, although Acker-
man shot out along the mat TO safe de-
Tense.
He broke Nelson's and toe holds with
great cleverness and gave no evidence or
being worried. Had the match gone on
it would have been a question OF endur-
Yokel won, however, and won on merit.
He was the aggressor, and the champion
could not keep him from staying on top.
Alderman said after the match that as
soon as he found that he was up against
A stiff proposition he realized that he had
to STAY underneath and try and wear his
man down. He has the reputation for
the best defense in the business, and he
showed it.
That he realized he was up against it.,
however, was seen in what was one Of
the most amusing things of the match.
Helper Money In Sight.
From Helper Alderman and Lake
Young. his manager, had brought a bum
die of money pooled by the railroad men
Of that place to wager that he would beat
Yokel But Alderman is a crafty man
at the game, and arranged to place the
money after he had sized up Yokel on
the mat. After they had been on the mat
Is minutes he was to signal to his man
ager to place the money with some of
YokeIs hackers, who had agreed to take
the money at the end Of 20 minutes
wrestling.
Manager Young sat in the corner wait
ing for the private signal and he con-
tinued to wait At the end of the 10
minutes there came no signal Instead,
