Falls In Bout.

WIN anu 'Nh'hT
ing In the science of the game Jack
Younger can be made one of the best
wrestlers of the country, according 10
the showing he made Saturday even
ing In his match with John Froelicher
at the Orpheum.
Jack lost the bout two falls out OF
three to the ex-world middleweight
champion, but II was not one-sided
affair at all and Froelicher had 20
work hard to get the two falls neces-
sary to make him the winner.
Time after time he worked for sew
eral minutes on Younger trying to
get him In position for fall, and
being unsuccessful would rest and
scratch his head while thinking what
TO do next.
Younger Is one of the finest formed
Of men, and his strength as shown
In the ease with which he repeatedly
got away from toe hold by simply
stretching out his leg, was wonderful
to see.
IL was u Boou SlOW duu Nhpse WIZ
missed II missed one of the best ath-
letic performances ever given In Ho-
nollu.
There was but fair-sized crowd
present, but II was made up of repre-
sentative Honolulu citizens, the. ath-
letic pastor of one Of the churches
and, number, Of prominent business
men being fh,esent.f N
ltiis 10 he shopsd that Wrestling will
take a good hold in Honolulu and that
matches will be held at which the
fair sex may be present forgive their
approval.
One athletic instructor stated Sat
! urday night that women could see the
1 fine. points In wrestling and fencing
much quicker than men could and
! that they were enthusiastic fans as
soon as they had seen one match.
| Wilmington and Younger would
make a good team on the mat together
and some time in the future IT may
he possible to get the two together II
4 Younger stays in Honolulu for any
length of time.
! First Match.
The first match of the evening be-
tween Derby and Allten was won by
the former In two straight falls. II
was good match but Allten was
| not Ia condition for long struggle
and he apparently was all In when
Derby rolled him over for the second
fall.
Hyman Raphael was the referee for
the first match and called a fall
| against Allten for rolling fair
which was resented by the wrestler
who advanced on Raphael with both
{, fists clinched.
He did not blum the Columbia Park
boy any, but after consultation with
! the two wrestlers, II was decided that
the fall would not be counted, and
Derby won the next two.
Main Event.
The crowd was apathetic over the
! work of the first match, but between
the two Sailor Roberts did some classy
weight lifting that frightened things
up trile, and then after the main
event had been In progress the fans
We're standing on the backs of seats
so that they would miss nothing going
on in the ring.
II took just nine and one-half min.
utes for Froellcher to make the first
fall which was done with a half-nelson
on Younger.
In the second bout Younger finally
succeeded in pinning Froelicher's
shoulders to the mat after 1G minutes
had passed, the hold by which II was
done being full-nelson.
The third bout was the quickest OF
the lot, 1t taking eight minutes foI
Froelicher TO make his second fall
and win the match, a forward chanc,
cry hold being the means which was
the undong Of Younger.
If II could be possible to have these
