DEFEATS BROWN

The wrestling match at City hall on
Friday evening proved one thing quite
conclusively, that it does not pay to
match a 160-pound wrestler. no mat
ter how scientific against a modern
Hercules weighing 40 pounds more
than that. J. G. Brown, the champion
Greek wrestler of Ohio, who threw IS
men at the Watervile fair on Wednes-
day and Thursday, and has a record
of over 500 bouts without a single
loss, was matched to meet the So
called Masked Marvel" who appear
ed in the form of Ronato Cardini of
New York City, a colossus of a man,
who shook Brown about as easily as
can be imagined. let him take his
holds and broke them at will, broke
Browns famous toe hold dozen
times, and got his first fall in 10 min
utes and 80 seconds by means of a
double crotch hold. The second was
in nine minutes and 40 seconds with
Ia quarter Nelson and crotch hold. 1t
was some sight. Brown is as clever a
man at his weight as the country
holds, but this monster of a man. who
could take Augustus three strongest
citizens and spank them collectively,
handled him as easily as terrie-
would handle a rat. 1t was no discred-
it to Brown to lose to this mountain
Of a man. rather it was tribute to
his craftsmanship that he faced him
at all. After the bout free -for-all
fight al the door ended in an arrest
by Officer Fox and an assistant. In all,
it was quite an evening
