NORTH COT DECISION
Over Fermentation After Two Hours
Of wrestling

After wrestling for nearly two
hours, Clyde North OF Boyne City
won over Farmer Watson OF Owosso
at the Realty Opera House a week
ago last night in the best wrestling
bout ever staged in this city. The
opera house was we'll filled with en-
thusiastic followers Of the game.
Watson secured the first fall in -
minutes on a double scissors hold
North took the second fall in SO min
utes and the third fall in ~ minutes
All three falls were secured on the
double scissors hold Both men we're
in fine condition and weighed 14S
pounds Watson appeared the larger
and man of more strength, but
North more than made up with his
great endurance and wonderful quick
ness Throughout the match the
crowd was brought to its feet time
and again by the clever work OF both
men. 1t has been many years since
this city has witnessed anything in
the wrestling line that can be COM
pared with the bout a week ago.
Shorty Kyser and Lee Rolfe wres-
tied in the preliminary Role, who
is larger and an older man at the
game secured two falls in u minutes
each. Kyser never appeared before
an audience before as wrestler but the
showing he made won him many
friends and they are anxious to see
him again with some man OF his
weight
NJ. J McPhee acted as referee and
officiated with splendid satisfaction.
Between the preliminary and the big
bout, straw vote was taken on the
presidential candidates. Roosevelt re-
ceiyed handsome majority. Wilson
ran second. DEEDS poor third, and
Taft did not receive a single vote.
Ii their plans do not go astray, the
promoters behind the North-Watson
match will stage another good bout
within couple OF weeks. It may
be that North and Watson will come
back for a return match. Nothing
will please Alma sportsmen more
than to see these men again.
Thirty Ithaca men were over for
the Watson-North match and had
seats on the stage They are desir-
GUS of putting the men on at Ithaca
in the near future.

the title changed hands going to
