GiOn Defeats Ernest
After Losing First
Fall in Fast Match
Russian Lions Trainer Yields to
Champion Heavyweight of
Nebraska.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Jan. 6.--(special Tele-
gram-)-George Con, champion heavy
weight Of Nebraska, defeated Ernest,
trainer for Hackenschmdt, and one of the
best light heavyweights in the country.
Ernest had taken the second in easy fash
ion Gion won the side bet of 800 and the
gate receipts
Both men were in the prime OF condition
and as they had a personal score to set
tie the match was the best ever held in
the city. Giou assumed the offensive after
the first ten minutes and worked thirty
two minutes longer before he succeeded in
bringing the Saxon's shoulders to the mat.
Both men were tired by the forty-two
minutes Of fast work and started slowly on
the second fall. Gion was over confident
and after ten minutes and twenty-five sec
onds Ernest pinned him to the mat with
a double barlock.
Gion was on the offensive all of the
time for the third fall and mad Ernest in
tight places from the start. The German
displayed wonderful defensive ability and
Gion worked sixteen minutes and fifty
three seconds before he won the fall.
The Aurora lad was rendered an ovation
by large number of his townsmen, who
came to Lincoln to witness the match
Both men were very evenly matched in
strength and skill, but Ernest appeared to
be faster.
In the preliminaries Miller defeated Ar
mold in straight falls, Miller won from Jen-
nings and Blecka defeated Collins.
