Gotch secured the first fall with re-
verse body lock in IA minutes IS 1-5 sec
onds: the second fall required exactly 5
minutes and 81 1-5 seconds. According to
the general comment Hack entered the
ring a beaten man. He looked like a
loser. Goteh, supremacy confident, was
master of the situation at every stage.
The second fall looked as If the so-ealled
Lion from across the Atlantic" simply

| Gotch held n levee just outside of the
platform of the arena while Mrs. Gotch
held another in the grandstand.

rather easy. wasn't it? Frank really can
wrestle some. though / can't say very
much. as Frank is really the most i'm
portant member of the family after all
Thank everybody for the nice way they
stood by my husband"
Police were required to clear the aisles

partment called at the NEWS Office
yesterday afternoon and asked that a
denial be made of a story published
in another paper, inferring that he
had been criticising the fire commit
tee of the Board of Aldermen and
casting reflections on the condition
of the department at the present
time. Mr.. Rocks praised the work
of the Aldermen and said that the
department is in better shape now
M~Rocks some sime ago sent a
communication to the fire committee
of the Board OF Alderman relative
to the condition of Washington Hose
and Chemical Co., headquarters. He
says that the committee at their earli-
est possible chance fixed the flooring
and made other repairs, not only to
the Washington house, but to all Of
the other fire houses.
Mr.. Rock further stated that the
committee is working hand in hand
with the head of the fire department.

LARGE CROWDS
ATTEND BIJ0U

The Hoosier Kid" the play at
the Btjou this week, is drawing large
audiences and from the generous
patronage accorded the heavier pro-
duction the management has been in
1uenced to present for next week
something still more ambitious. The
play is a high priced royalty bill by
VIM. l. Flagg, entitled, Marching
Through Georgia." and Is founded
upon General Sherman's famous
march to the sea. A Yankee officer
falls in love with a southern girl,
the daughter of a Confederate gener-
al and about them is woven a ~tSid
story of war, love and local Incl
dents. Sergeant O'Who, a Yankee
and an Irishman, and an old black
nanny furnish plenty of comedy,
whilethe exciting climaxes and ad-
ventures of the principal characters
thrill the blood of the most casual
spectator. The play will be cor
rectly costumed with the blue and
the gray uniforms. The first per-
Torrance will be given Monday
night.
