IS STATE CHAMPION
Bob Henry Won His Wrestling Mattel
at Alexandria and Claims State
Championship.

Alexandria, May BIN a three
round bout here last night, Bob Hen
ry won the necessary two falls out
Of the three to entitle him to the
championship Of South Dakota. At
no time in the game was it certain
who would win, the rounds being so
fast and spirited. Although there was
only two pounds difference in the
weight of the two men, Mace being
the heavier. they presented quite a
contrast on the mat. Mace was won
derfully muscled around the neck,
chest and arms, while Henry seemed
more evenly balanced. Yet it SEEM
ed as though Mace had Henry out
classed all around. being so active on
his feet and in any other position that
Henry had great difficulty in getting
a lasting hold. But Henry was as
good in not allowing a hold on him
self and finally secured a full Nelson
on Mace and threw him over. Mace
had repeatedly broken the half-Nel-
son and perhaps thought Henry could
not throw him with it.. The time was
1880 minutes.
After a ten minute rest they we're
at it again and in 1870 minutes Mace
had put Henry on his shoulders by
a head scissors-hold and arm lock.
Any one thinking that this match was
a put up affair changed his mind
when 1t came to the last round. Both
had secured a fall and were deter
mined to secur the next, one as could
be seen by the way they went at it.
Pushing, Jerking, writhing on the
mat they worked on each other, first
one having the advantage and then
the other, for about fifteen minutes
until Henry by a clever maneuver
secured a crotch hold on Mace and
began twisting, pushing and jolting
him around the mat. For what seem
ed an awful long time Mace stood the
punishment but when twisting from
one shoulder to the other he was
held on both shoulders for an In
slant, the referee called it a
down. It was so quick and the fall
20 brief that many thought It was
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1910-05-05

not a down and. Mace did not believe
1t was, but having been called a down
it remained as such. The time was
1905 for the last fall.
After shaking hands with Henry,
Mace gave a short explanation of the
fall claiming he was not down but
admitting that he could not have
held out many seconds more. He al
so expressed his desire to meet Hen
ry again in this city at some future
date and fair time next fall was rae
tically settled N. There will be some
lively speculation and interest in the
outcome of that match.

fall being won by the Doctor. The
second round was between the Kelly
Bros. with the understanding that
Bun would throw Bane in 10 min
utes. In 20 minutes he had not &C
complished it and it vas called of.
The third round was between Billie
Stablein and Tony Hanlon, Billie
securing the same toe hold that he
had put Tony down with last week
The time was 9 minutes.

wIckERsHAM IS ANGRY
Bitter Over Success of Cummins in
Attack ON Rate Bill. Taft Makes
Comment.

Washington, May At is declar'
ed that President Taft's cabinet is
chagrined by the successful attack
made upon the railroad rate bill by
the insurgents of the Senate. AS
a result Of their efforts, it is now Ger.
tain that the measure will be radi-
cally amended II it is to be passed
at all. ~
Acknowledgement Wickersham, au-
thor of the MEASURE, who presented
it to the Senate committee on Inter-
state Commerce with the intimation
that any amendment to it would be
considered an act unfriendly to the
administration, is declared to be ex-
ceedingly angry at Senator Cummins,
because Cummins' efforts compelled
the regulars" to abandon the clause
authorizing railroad combinations on
rates. They found it could not be
adopted unless changed as Cummins
wished, to require the commission to
approve rates in any railroad agree
ment before allowing the agreement
to stand.
1t is declared that the removal Of
this clause is most annoying to the
president. Taft at St. Louis declar-
ed that he would have a good rate
bill or none at all.
