GIRL WRESTLES MEN.
Wins First Match But. Second Is De-
clared Draw.

New York. July Miss Bertha
Rapp. an athletic American girl of
German parentage, and teacher OF
calisthenics in Cincinnati. was the chief
figure in a unique Fourth of July cele-
bration on board the steamship Ad-
riatic just in from Southampton. The
young woman is about feet inches
tall and weighs about $50 pounds Her
speciality is wrestling and she chal-
lenged any man aboard the ship to
bouts of five minutes each, catch as
catch can.
Two second cabin passengers, one an
American bicycle rider, Arthur Libby,
who weighs 140, and George Lahrmann,
german, who weighs 1856, accepted
th6F yhallenge. The bouts took place on
part of the deck dividing the first
from the second cabin and all passen-
gers except those in the steerage
crowded about the gladiators- Miss
Rapp wore a sweater and short skirt
and the men were stripped to under
shirts.
Libby held out against the young wo-
man in the first bout but she put his
shoulders to the mat in the third min
ute of the second bout. Then she took
on the stout German. He proved i
tough proposition. They wrestled 20
minutes with intervals of rest between
the fiVe-minute bouts. The German
had some science and much muscle,
which combined with his weight, re-
sisted the gallant efforts of the young
woman to put him down.
He also could do nothing with her, IN
fact his chief object seemed to be to
prevent himself from being thrown.
The referee called the contest a draw
at the end of the fourth bout when
neither wrestler seemed fit to continue.

Reiterating her positive declaration
that she will not be a candidate for

would not accept the office even if Of

affection of the throat and ear that
bothered her considerably on the jour-
ney to the coast, Mrs. Young asserts
that her indisposition will not inter-
fere with her work as presiding off,
Ger of the convention. She spent to-
day resting and recuperating her
strength for the banquet in her honor

proceedings of the association. Mrs.

tions in which Mrs. Young says she is
most interested just now and which
she purposes pressing at this assembly.

majority of educators who viii take

In its correction, the Tribune
states that the report" which in
