Many of the singers that will take

which cannot all get in at one time.

schafrer-HaIe Wrestling Match.

Here is what the Osceola Sentinel
said in regard to the wrestling match
held in that city last week between
Schaffer of Osceola and Hale of
Leon:
The greatest interest was mani
tested in the champions of clarke
and Decatur counties and when they
appeared on the stage they were
greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.
Under the directions of referee "Au-
die" Reed they at first tackled each
other vigorously but when Schaffer
secured his scissor hold the punish
ment was SO severe that Hale was
obliged to yield in fourteen minutes.
The second round was no less vic
tory for Schaffer. Again the scis-
00r hold enabled him to put Hale's
shoulders to the mat This time in
sixteen minutes. 1t was evident from
the beginning that Hale was out
classed The big audience was or
derly. The Decatur county fellows
accepted the defeat in manner be-
coming to real sports.
