WEBER AND R0CKLER
 EACH GAIN A FALL
 IN WHIRL WIND MATCH

III iiA0h MItSllllS hidANi iOt NiN championship of the Southwest yes terday at the Lowell AirGome, Weber gaining the first fall in 21 minutes and Rocker the second in II. The third match had but 15 minutes to go and as the gong sounded Weber was seen to be vigorously on the aggres- sive but without another fall.
 Only loo people saw this capital match, and more's the pity. Warren District has never seen such go. But the way the little band of 100 cheered and admonished on their fav critics was enough to warm the COG kles of the wrestlers' hearts in their charitable struggle Charitable, for they must have gotten at least dol lar and six bits apiece after expenses were paid.
 Weber weighed in at 1S0. Rocker at 1S5. They were brought together by Referee Billy Gum and told that on ly the strangle hold would be barred Then they went to the mat in furious fashion.
 Weber took the aggressive from the start and had the big champion in several bad holes. including the arm scissors. head scissors and oth- CTS, only to see Rocker slip out of them with the cleverness of an eel. The local man finally got his oppo- nent where he wanted hin after 2
 'inutes, and pinned his shoulders to tHe mat with double wrist twist ana body hold.
 The crowd cheered like mad, for T-eber is a great favorite in the camp.
 The second match took on a re versal of form. Rocker took the az gressive, and two or three tires had the local man in danger, only tc find tHe latter slip out with apparent ease. At the end of eleven minutes, how ever, Rocker got the body toe hold 0n Weber, and the latter did the only -ring he could and save his foot, and tNat was to concede the fall.
 The last period in which neither -"ined 9 fall. appeared to be going to -"aher at the last. But of that no one can be sure. For Rocker is a most dangerous man at any stage of the game.
 He has the fine points down per haps even better than the local man. His play is clean and clever. Weber says he's wonder
 On the other hand Weber displayed great versatility in his attacks and the strength that occasionally threw his opponent some distance around the mat. At the cad Of the nrs: match of ? minutes, he seemed not to be pulling at all.
 Rockler says Weber is the toughest proposition he has met in the south west. The Globe man has had cod recently and was unable to get sweat ing properly as he should in proper condition.
 Weber, on the other hand. was not in as fit condition as he should be, as everyone knows who works under ground. A few weeks above ground would make a vast difference in the local man.
 Both men were much disappointed in the lack of interest displayed here, as they well had a right to be It really was a shame, shame to the camp to pass up a real big athletic stunt like this.
 Those who did not see it are talking about ways and means to bring the men together ao~in in the near future, hut there is only one way of doing this. That is, for local enthusiasts to sign up in sufficient numbers for tick cts beforehand so the wrcstlers will be guaranteed enough to justify them wrestling. All who are interested can communicate with the sporting editor of the Ore. the sporting editor of the Review or the athletic director of the Y. ". C. A. IL would be best to bring the wrestlers together within the next two weeks, as Rocker has a match NAhh iOhS AJcA tdlaN fAl -hdiNiif anu then will leave this section of the country.
 Before ending this, a remark about the preliminary. A R. Chapman, weight 15S. gained two falls from Charlie SchoensOn. 14S, in nine and five minutes respectively, in two whirlwind mills. The first was gained by the double bammerlock, the sec ond by the hammer and waist hold Chapman is new man here from Graud Junction, Colorado; SChoenson came from Los Angeles in August Both boys are working in the mines lere aud members of the wrestling squad of the local Y. M. C. A. Their matches were quite as vigorously fought as the main event. and almost as interesting.
 MINSTREL REVERSAL.
