MONTPELIER

The wrestling match between W. K
Jameson of East Barre and Bernard
Pembroke of Montpelier was success
fully staged in Red Mems hall Satur'
day evening with some 300 persons at
tending. Pembroke seemed to have the
best of the battle and was awarded two
i falls. The original plan was three out
of five falls to be victor, but before they
started the match was changed to two
out of three, and Pembroke was award
ed the first two, the third not being
tried for. The first fall came in 70
minutes and leg and half scissors hold.
The second hold was according to some, a
| little questionable for Jameson 1T is
claimed, by some, was not on his back
long enough to comply with the regula-
tion of wrestling, however, he had the
required number of points down, the fall
being made in II minutes.
