Once again Joe Shimkus, the Lithua )
MAN carnival wrestler. who IS making
! his headquarters in Barre this winter,
| was successful in a match in St. Adams
Friday night. Soldier Bull" Mason,
who was called the champion of the
A. e. F. forces in France, was downed
in two falls. The first fall Shimkus
scored after 80 minutes of hard wrest-
ling. with a full body hold, and the
second in IL minutes with body scis-
sors. Yhe st. Adams Messenger says
of the bout "The match was attended
by one of the largest crowds yet pres
ent at match this season, as Soldier
Bull Mason was advertised as the
champion of the American expedition
airy forces and many of the fans felt
certain he would throw Shimkus. Out
Of regard to former service men il must
be said that Mason was not champion
of the American expeditionary forces,
although he wrestIed many OF the sol
diers where he was stationed and came
out the victor Mason stayed as long
as possible with such an able opponent
as Shimkus. Although he was not ac-
auainted with the fine points of the
game, his great strength kept Shimkus
| working hard throughout the match.
Many times during the match he had
his opponent in tight holds but could
not keep him from squeezing out. Ma
son repeatedly secured the toe hold,
which made lot of trouble for Shin
| kus. Although the match was not as
fast as other matches which have taken
place in the city, it was'well worth see
ing and was enjoyed by all.
