PULLMAN MAN Is
WORLDS CHAMPION
Continued from first pager

but the head scissors prevented !
E completion of the roll and the chal
lenger further safeguarded himself
with a jackllnife which was causing
the champion some embarrassment
In the melee the Butte man let his
toe come within reach of the chal-
longer who was not slow in grabbing
1t and at once proceeded to put on the
clamps. 1t was evident to the spec
tators that the end was near, but
the champion was loath to yield his
crown and made a game effort to
loosen the head scissors which held
him as in a vice. Human endur-
ance could not withstand the awful
punishment and he waved his free
hand in token of defeat Referee
Boiler quickly slapped Glahe on the
back and released the furnishing hold
of the challenger and the crowd
broke into a wild cheer as they
L
won the first fall and was well on
his way toward the championship.
E. w. Thorpe, the timer, caught the
time at 1:24:45.
The rules provided that the men
should go two hours for the best two
out of three, or in case of no fall at
the end of two hours they were to
continue to a fall, consequently, af-
ter a Commute rest the men again
entered the ring and the signal was
given for the second bout.
Those who expected Glahe to rest
on his laurels and play safe for the
50 minutes and As seconds remain
ing of the two hours were doomed to
disappointment as both men jumped
into the fray in a manner that aug
ured we'll for an exhibition. After
bulling about the ring for a short
time the men went to the mat with
Glahe again on top and he started
vigorously working for another fall.
Cote, anxious to retrieve his lost
laurels, was just as anxious and the
spectators got their moneys worth
At one time in the fray Cote got
| Glahe's arm and leg at the same time
and the two wrestlers flew about the
ring in a manner resembling a pair
OF tom cats met on a back fence and
when they slowed down sufficiently
| to be distinguishable the challenger
was underneath. This condition re-
manned but a few second as Cotes
| first attempt to start action resulted
in his taking to the canvas, where he
undoubtedly does his best work At
the end of about l 4 minutes of hair
raising action the champion found
himself in hopeless hammer and
body lock and Glahe slowly but sure
ly forced his shoulders to the mat,
thereby winning the match and re-
lieving the Butte favorite of his title
of champion bantamweight wrestler.
1t was great match and one well
worthy of its Importance in the
wrestling world. Eddie Quinn, the
promoter and a veteran of many
matches over the entire Northwest,
declared it the greatest wrestling
match he had ever witnessed. J.F.
Boiler, who refereed the match. de-
clared it a perfectly clean contest
and remarked that it was entirely
Tree from any of the unwarranted
tricks often resorted to by profess
s1onals. From the spectators stand
point it was everything that could be
desired, as there was no stalling and
every moment was full of action and
conclusive possibilities were ever
present and probable. The men tried
for almost all the holds known to the
game and the decisive action in both
bouts came as a conclusion to won
derful work, both aggressive and de-
fensive, and especially in the first fall
victory might have gone to either but
for the skill and speed of Glahe IN
clamping on a head scissors when in
a dangerous arm roll.
After the match is became known
that Glahe had pulled the tendons of
his left knee in the first 5 minutes
OF the first bout and had gone
through the entire contest under
stress of great pain.
In the preliminaries Adams of
Spirit Lake, Idaho, and Pearson of
the W, s c. wrestling squad, went
on at 145 pounds for 20 minutes of
fast wrestling While there was no
fall and no decision, Pearson was on
top all the time but never had his
opponent in a dangerous position ex-
