two straight falls. The match. which
straight falls. The match, which
took place in Adams, was one of the
best held in that vicinity In many
months. "Gotch" secured both falls
with scissors on the head, the first
In one hour and three minutes and
the second in three minutes. The
little Englishman, who underweighed
his opponent by at least IL pounds,
forced his opponent to quit in both
bouts. The pressure round the head
was too much for the Adams man
and he made little effort to break
away from the leg grip. Fully 400
persons witnessed the match and
there was much enthusiasm.

Some untaught, humble thinker, nearer
