COLUMBUS TWICE
TO THE MAT IN
20 MINUTES
Baltimore Lightweight Proves
No Match for "Young Gotcs"
ROSCH SHADES KID BLACK
Adams Boy Shows More Aggressivee
in Six Round Sparring
Exhibition.

Leo Columbus of Baltimore, the
lightweight champion of the southern
states who stated that he had chased
Young Gotch" all over the country
in order to get match, had his
chance at the Canadian club rooms
Friday night. He lasted just rs
minutes.
At the end of 1917 minutes the Ben
nington grappler got Japanese arm
hold on the southerner and the shewh
ers of the man from Baltimore went
to the mat. The second fall came
even quicker than the first in "a
minutes, on an arm and body hold.
Young Gotch" had few pounds
the better of Columbus in weight.
but the Baltimore wrestler though
slight in build was well-developed
from neck to toe. He was little In
clined to be funny and it was
while attempting little side show
business that he allowed the open
ing for the first fall.
Kid Black, the little boxer from
New York who has located here for
the season, and Young Rosch Of Ad-
ans boxed six lively rounds to a
draw. The Adams boy may have had
a shade the better of the "go" in that
he was more frequently the aggres'
sor but Black was never in troable
and demonstrated that he could
come to close quarters and get away
without sustaining any damage.
The preliminary between Riley and
Stewart, two local boys, was in it
self worth the price of admission.
Each youngster carried a smile
throughout the six rounds but was
willing to give and take at any time
John A. Ryan refereed the boxing
and wrestling. Edward j. Cummings
refereed the preliminary.
