pion of Detroit, Mich, and E. H.
Van Valkenburg, of this city, at
the Amazon theater Saturday
night. Shattuck was an easy win
ner and while the local man was
given the first fall it did not look
as if Shattuck put up much of a
scrap to keep his two shoulders
from being pinned to the mat.
Shattuck won the second fall in q
few minutes although there is g
question whether or not the referee
Jack Poston, was not bit hasty il
giving his decision for to many il
