Gus Flynn who played left field for
the Islanders until after the Fourth of
July game last season, has signed to
play with the North Attleboro team the
coming season.
Jack Carolan, the Bennington first
sacker who finished the season with
Keene, is anxious to play with Bratte-
boro the coming season and Is holding
several offers from other teams in abey-
ance until he learns whether he will play
here.
From far-away Waterloo, in Iowa, comes
word that that town is the home of the
champion weterweight wrestler of the
world and that his name is Carl Brown.
In his own baiiwck it appears that Carl
has a good reputation on the canvas mat
and is throwing his opponents as fast
as they can be served up to him at the
local opera house. Connecticut is an
other state to put forth claim that 1t
is the native heath of a worlds cham
pion in the welterweight class, "Smiler'
Livingston of Hartford claiming the
championship. AS soon as the other states
are heard from it would not be bad
plan to have all AS of them appear in the
Auditorium and in one of Fritz Han
sons battle royals by the process OF
elimination pick the rightful holder of the
title Following this the foreign countries
other battle royal the real champion
could be determined. In this way only can
the vexing question as to who is the
champion welterweight wrestler of the
world be determined.
Fritz Hanson is training for a matcl
with Kilonis, the Greek whom he
| threw twice out of three times in the
| Auditorium three weeks ago. The men
| will meet here and the toe hold will be
| barred. After their last match Kilonis
asked for another match without the toe
| hold as he claimed to have wrestled
most of his matches without that dan
| gerous hold. Fritz has agreed to meet
the Greek and will bar the hold pro-
viding the middleweight will weigh In
| at the ringside at the middleweght
limit 1853 pounds BY doing this the
| Greek will weigh at least six pounds
more than Hanson. The date has not
been decided. During the week OF
March II, DR., Roller will appear here
and 1t is probable he will attempt tc
throw Hanson three times within ar
hour. This will put the local man or
| the defensive for the first time since ht
has been wrestling here. Hanson Is
| training hard for several coming matches
and he is using DR.. Thomas Rice's bun
galow on the Guilford road for part OF
his work.

EEL WAS SLIPPERY BUT LOST.
Won First Round With Leg Grapevine
and Bear Hug-Hanson Winner of
Every Match-ExhIbltIon Of Jlu Jitsu.

Every Match-ExhlbltIon of Jiu Jitsu.
Fritz Hanson, the little giant, has yet
to lose a match in the Auditorium. He
won two falls out of three Saturday
evening from Jack Collins of Worcester,
who is known as the human eel" Col
lins's ability to squirm from dangerous
holds surely gives him the right to the
appellation. One of the largest audiences
of the season watched the match Taro
Mykio of Toxic Japan, gave an exhi-
bition of jiu jtsu, with Ed. Bolin at the
receiving end, before the match and eX-
planned holds used in the Japanese
style of wrestling. Taro weighs about
1870 pounds. He surprised the local boys
by the ease with which he broke the
grips which Ed took on his clothing and
body Then the two men wrestled for Is
minutes. 1t was a tame exhibition, the
Jap remaining on the mat most of the
time and making Bolin do the work.
Their match was a draw
battle royal was wrestled with six
contestants on the firing line. Clinton
The other boys who entered were Joseph
Yarhie, Edward Wood, Edward Moran,
Alvin Wright and Justin Moran.
In introducing the men in the main
bout Referee Hunter said the strangle
hold was to be left to his judgment. He
also asked tnat the auulence refrain
| from yelling and giving advice to the
men on the mat. Coiins's appearance
did not belle his popular title. About six
| feet tall, thin and wiry, he did not ap-
| pear like a professional wrestler. He
weighed 154 pounds. Both men were
busy from the start, and the first round
| was lively, neither sparing the other.
| Three times Hanson thought he had the
| Worcester man down, but by a show of
wonderful agility the elongated chap
| squirmed from beneath him and stood up.
| After 80 minutes of wrestling both men
were on their feet and Fritz received one
| of the surprises of his life. Collins sud-
denly grasped him around the shoulders,
wound his legs about the Swede's legs and
| Fritz went down, his shoulders pinned
| to the mat in 80 minutes and 40 seconds
with leg grapevine and bear hug. The
| holds were used years ago when collar
and elbow wrestling was popular.
In the second round Hanson kept after
| the long man every minute and once had
his shoulders pinned to the floor less
than an inch from the mat, but the
referee ordered them back to the centre
and the match continued. Hanson also
was dangerously near losing at one
time but they were off the mat. Twice
Hanson got toe hold on the rangy
wrestler, but the latters science helped
him out OF the dangerous position. AZ
the end OF 15 minutes and 20 seconds
Hanson won with half-Nelson ano
hammer lock. At the beginning OF the
third round Collins was more tired thar
the local man and was sore from the

punishment given him in the previous
round. Fritz went after him and made
short work of the round. At the end of
nine minutes and so seconds he was the
winner with a hammerlock and crotch
hold, forcing the "eel's" shoulders to the
mat while holding his body and feet per-
pendicularly in the air. Several in the
audience did not approve Referee
Hunters decision and Mr. Hunter asked
Collins for his opinion of the decision.
Collins seemed to think he had lost the
match. and asked for another chance to
meet Fritz.
