JAPANESE STAR
Wins In BEST
TWO OF THREE
Schober Takes First Fall But
Oriental Comes Back and
Wins Two Straight.
RASCON is VICTOR
OVER ED MENGES

A BOUT two weeks ago one william
a Schober, affectionately known TO
the bunch as "BilI" and to the
world at large as an exceptionally
clever wrestler incurred the ire OF FL
Paso mat fans when he used some
quick thinking 70 win over Matty
Natsuda- japanese champion
Tuesday night BIZ was earnestly
booed when he entered the ring but
was heartily chesred when ne left Il.
he did one thing OF which about 1900
wrestling fans were certain and that
was that while he went down to de-
feat before his better conditioned
rival he gave the bugs the best he
had and Incidentally put his name
down as one OF the cleanest and best
Hr5Gglers who have shown here be-
fore the FL Paso association so far.
MatT won, as many OF his friends
predicted but he was returned the VIC
tor only after a hard clever scrap in
which the lightning quickness Of
Schober and his willingness to mix
matters we're not small factors BY
any means.
schober Wins First.
Schober won the first fall OF the
match in a minutes with a double
scissors and during the interim Of the
initial bell and the final tap Of the
capable Solly Harris upon his back
Schober earned many friends
He worked this arm scissors
10 advantage n couple Of times in
weakening lIutty and he set the
pace for the initial fall. Matsuda
seemed inclined TO take <hfnEs
easy and while holding his own
seemed content to allow schOber
during n majority Of the minutes
TO take the offensive. Matfy was
CIT the fastest Of the two men
hut Il was HIS endurance that en-
nbIed him TO come hack after the
second fan and make the show
ing expected OF him
AIatty's flying mare. the one best
bet OF the japanese champion placed I
things on an even basis after the two 4
mat men had tuggec az each other

was about as vel placed as anything

himself and this was undoubtedly due
TO q partial paralysis OF the right
arm due as result Of the 5iu-5itsu
method employed. BY Marsuda-
Mutty lost no time in forcing
matters after that and he chnaed
seh0her into n corner and by q
quick twist and turn applied the
MARI. Schoher went down SQUARE

n.Il and little referee ZOIly Harris
tapped the Japanese champion on
the hack siEnifyinE the winner Of
TIE second tuEsIe.
Schober seemed TO have tired fast
after being victorious in the first fan
and when he came out Tor the second
ard third there seemed little doubt
but that he had slowed Up in no IN
certain degree.
A Run For Their Money.
However. he gave the bugs a
run for their money. There was
not g wrestling enthusiast leaving
the hail but who had something to
say Of his cleancut work and his
sportsmanship IN not worrying Nat
suda By grasping his right arm on
which the japanese champion had q
large boil. Billy came back and he
came back strong He Wrestled as
clean as Chris Jordan, as scientifically
as Henry Irslingcr and was as game
and aggressive as BIZ EIodins himself ,
3latty won the third fan by some
clever thinking SchOber attempted to
make the third fall by the use OF q
back body hold but the japanese
using his head and chest as a lever
age bent forward
He suddenly reversed hfn posi-
tfou and sent his opponent eruHh- Z
ing to the mat in a stunned con
dItfou. sehoher was knocked out
temporarily and had to be es-
corted t. hia corner. Referee goily
Harris lost no time in awarding
fhe match TO Matsuda amid the
cheers OF the adherentH OF the
Jnuazeee champion Sehober's
clean work came in for a good 2
share Of the applause TOO
