DEMETRAL THROWS
GERMAN WRESTLER

AT the close of the match Busch,
who is twenty-five pounds lighter
than Demetral, challenged him to a
match here early IN January when
they will wrestle under the Greek and
Roman rules. The match last even
ing was conducted under the catch as
catch can rules and in this style of
wrestling considerable footwork is
used and a heavier man has consid-
cradle advantage over a lighter man.
In the Greek and Roman style of
wrestling Busch claims that he can
throw Demetral.
The match will be staged in the
Robinson Grand and a side bet OF
500 has been made by the contest
ants.
Busch left Friday night for his
home at Bellfontalne and Demetral
will laeve this evening for Chicago,
where he has match scheduled for
next week. He will spend the holt
days in western cities, but will return
here for the match in January.
Demetral is also anxious for a
match with Paul Bowser, the Nor
gantown wrestler, and will meet him
at any time for purse of $3.50. Local
persons interested in wrestling would
like to see Bowser and Demerai
matched for a bout here.

Greek Champion Wins Match
over Carl Busch in Twenty
Sever Minutes.

William Demetral, the Greek
champion, threw Carl Busch, Ger
man wrestler of Bellfontaine, O., two
times in twenty-seven minutes at the
Robinson Grand theater before an
enthusiastic audience Friday night.
Demetral was sorely disappointed
when 1t neared the hour for the bout
TO start when Doc fillmore, of Des
Moines, Iowa, failed to appear at the
theater for the engagement. Shortly
after s o'clock Busch appeared at the
theater and announced that he had
come to fill Filmore's engagement as
the later had been injured in a match
at Hamilton, o., Thursdal evening and
would not be able to appear.
The bout was started at $40 O'clock
and while Busch was substitute. he
gave the Greek champion the hardest
match he has had in West Virginia,
and it was only after twenty-five min
utes OF hard and scientific wrestling
that he was able to get the German
pinned to the mat. The second fall
he was more successful and in i've
minutes he had Busch on the mat.

shortly before matters came to "A head

$50 900, which he drew from the Exchange

The disappearance of Lacy was not
taken seriously until the following day

said Lacy, speaking to the jailer for
the first time. Then the jailer in an
open-mouthed wonder realized he was
talking to the man who had bettered
detectives and officers of Montgom-
cry county and the state for months,
and for whom a reward of $4,000 had
been Offered, and which has been

UNCONCERNEDLY
Lacy then seated himself uncon-
cernedly in the Jail office and waited
for Mr. Pettus to summon his friends.
The former chief clerk talked with

He was interested in the political stu
alton, and it could be seen from his
questions that he had been in close
touch with Alabama since his disap-
pearance.
There was delay in the signing Of
Lacy's bond, although he had come
with one for $4,000 filled in, and
which awaited signatures only. The
total bonds will amount to approx
imately $67, 900. Both Mr.. Pettus and

phones summoned friends to sign the
bond, but up to l o'clock this morn

Lacy was still chatting with friends
in the Jail office.

Although Lacy chatted and joked
with newspapermen and friends at
the Jail, he would make no statement
regarding his whereabouts during the
past 10 months. He would not say
where he had been, or how he reached
Montgomery. He walked to the
county Jail, through Dexter avenue

officers of foreign mission organizations

American missionaries regret the dis

the recent monarchial tendencies shown
by President Yuan Shi Kai; but they
retain confidence in repeated assurances
the President has given of his friendli-
