hereby protest against the enactment
of any legislation for the return of

two out Of three falls were to win
the match, catch-as-can holds for
falls The decision Of the referee
was rendered on pinned points.
Both contestants showed excellent
skill in the wrestling game, display
ing good science as we'll as wonderful
strength and tactics. Had not Larkin
been handicapped by his arm the con-
test would undoubtedly have been
much longer for they were evenly
matched.
Over 200 fans witnessed the bouts,
including a large number Of women
and children. All through it was an
example Of clean sport and was
heartily enjoyed.
Larkin has issued a challenge to
meet Curtis at any time after his arm
is again in proper condition and at
any place satisfactory to Curtis.
Curtis accepted the challenge and
will meet Larkin at an early date,
it is reported.
Preliminary to the main event a
match was staged between Pete Edd
and George Bagsley, both of this
city. To win the match it was neces-
sary for Edd to throw Bagsley inside
of thirty minutes. Edd won the con-
test, throwing his opponent in four
minutes. The match was well en-
joyed by the local fans since both
the contestants are we'll known in
this vicinity.
