HANSEN FAILED
TO WIN FROM
YOUNG GOTCH
Big Man Secured One Fall in
SO Minutes
LIVELY BOXING MATCH
Kid Rosch of Adams Had a Shade
the Better Of Young Josie of
Chicopee.

Fritz Hansen, the welterweight
champion wrestler, was unable to
carry out his contract to twice throw
Young Gotch," the English light
weight champ" at the rooms of the
Canadian club last night and accord
ingly lost the match. Hansen. who
outweighed "Gotch" by nearly is
pounds, managed to down his op-
ponent at the end of SO minutes for
the first fall. Naturally, he was un-
able to secure another in the remain
ing minute of the scheduled time.
The match was a classy exhibition
OF graphing and there was not a dulf
second during the entire hour. Han
sen is altogether too large man for
a lightweight to handle. He is not
large-limbed but he has a back like
a iongshoreman. His length of
reach enabled him to put the wicked
toe hold upon the smaller man no
less than five times Four times
Gotch' wiggled out of his grasp.
The last time Hansen secured a grin
upon both of the little Establishments
feet and forced his shoulders to the
mat. Hansen narrowly escaped be-
ing thrown at one period of the grap-
ping when "Gotch" secured a scis-
sors hold about the bigger mans
neck
The six-round sparring match be
tween Kid Rosch of Adams and
Young Josie of Chicopee was a lively
go The youngsters went at it at
the first tap of the gong and mixed
things most of the time. In the
fourth and fifth rounds Young Josie
showed signs of exhaustion due to
the rapid pace forced upon him and
IN the final period the Adams boy an
peared to have the best OF 1t.
In the preliminary wrestling match
johnny Toomey proved too much
Tor Earl Gooding and secured two
iails In a short space of time.
The next wrestling match will he
on Friday evening of next week
when Young Gotch" will take ON
Eugene Westgard of Hoosick Falls
westward is a heavier man than
Hansen but "Gotch" is willing To GO
out OF his class if he cant get
wrestlers who can come down to
his weight.
