LITTLE WRESTLER
OUTCLASSEO BIG
GRAPPLER
"Young Gotch" Shows Remark
able Form Against Westgard
NO FALL IN 80 MINUTES
Bennington Lightweight Had Better
of Hard Match with Hoosiok
Falls Middleweieht.

Young Gotch," the champion Eng
lish lightweight wrestler who ID io-
Gated in Bennington for the preseat
season, made his third appearance be
fore a local audience at the Cana
dian clubs rooms Friday evening and
again demonstrated that he is a mar
velous exponent Of the graphing
game. In all of his matches "Gotch"
has gone up against heavier men. A
week ago Wednesday evening he
forced Fritz Hansen, the champion
welterweight, to battle for SO minu-
ties for single fall. Friday evening
he undertook another stiff problem
when he took on Eugene Westgard. q
former Chicago wrestler now living
in Hoosick Flals. The men grappled
for an hour and 80 minutes, the time
specified in the articles of agreement
without either securing a fall.
Westgard outweighed the Benning
ton wrestler by fully 20 pounds. The
Hoosick Falls man has an arm as
large as the little Englishman's leg
and his back and chest development
are remarkable.
Notwithstanding his superior weight
and amour. OF muscle N'cstgard TAIL
ed to pin his opponents shoulders
to the mat The Hoosick Falls man
is not a gentle" wrestler. Several
time he lifted his lighter opponent
clear from the floor and threw the
Englishman headlong to the mat.
Westgard, on these occasions, had no
hold that made any openings for
fail and his rough tactics could have
been adopted for no other reason
than to exhaust the smaller man.
Repeatedly "Gotch" secured holds
that with man of his own weight
must have resulted in falls. West
gard, however, was too heavy and too
muscular. At the close of the
match Westgard said that "Gotch"
was the hardest proposition he ever
met in lightweight. He had wrest-
led many matches in the middle west
and had held his own with men in
his class.
The siX-round sparring exhibition
between Kid Rosch of Adams and
Young Josie Of Chicopee was lively
go" Che boys did not show so
much cleverness as on Wednesday
night OF last week but they put more
ginger into their work. At times
they abandoned all thought of eau
ton and banged each other like
green hands.
K. j. Cummings acted as referee in
both the sparring and the wrestling
match.
The three exhibitions given By
Young Gotch" show that he has
remarkable knowledge of the Wrestl-
ing game. Plans are now being made
to secure matches with good wreet-
lers who can made 140 pounds at the
ringside. Negotiations are in pro-
gress with Tremblay, the champion
lightweight of Canada and others.
Pitted against a man of his own
weight, no matter how clever,
"Gotch" ought TO give an exhibition
OF skill that would be worth going
miles to witness.

~ TO animals, and who relished a
finish fight between an old boar
coon and a fearless dog which had
learned in a bloody school OF expert
ence where to grip the coon and how
important it was to hang on. Only
the dog which has learned from
trained coon dogs how to get the
death grip and hold it is a match for
a fullgrown coon And II the coon
is freed near water and can manage
to beat the dog to the creek the in
experienced dog who plunges in and
tackles him is pretty likely to be
drowned by an animal who has a
peculiar and deadly knowledge of
how to fight without swallowing
water, and who can remain under
water for a good while without
drowning.
Nowadays coon hunting in the
more thoroughly titled sections of
Kentucky has become unpopular
with the commality. The game is
not plentiful enough to make the
hunt profitable. And really good
coon dogs-dogs that will not follow
the hunter instead of the trail, and
will not "lie," which means braking
up the wrong tree-are hard to find.
Coon hunting has been tried as a
diversion for society but as II is
a rough sport, pursued in the dark
ness and necessarily, through thick
cts and briars, il has never had a
vogue with the set that hunts foxes.
Nowadays trees are getting so few
and far between in central Ken
tuckey that many 'coons seek refuge
in sink holes when pursued, and
some OF the few coon hunters who
still follow them insist that ground
'coons" and tree 'coons" are separ-
ate species.-Louisville Courier
