peIier, which was one OF the best
matches that has been seen in Mont
peier in late years. Paradis took the
Police Gazette silver belt and the light
weight championship belt away from
Tremblay at Franklin, N, H., earlier
in the winter, so that this time 1t
was fight to a finish and the fans
had a chance to see clean sport all OF
the way through, for the men were very
active and each got out of some very
hard holds.
Tremblay had Parads on a toe hold a
few seconds before he got a Frank
Gotch" toe hold on his opponent and
Paradis worked so hard to get out of
the first toe hold that he was in no
shape to go into the second one, which
Is much harder one to get out Of and
in which the winner can break a leg
unless his opponent gives up, which
Paradis had to do.
Both were well trained wrestlers.
They used many different holds during
the match and worked fast on the mat.
Frequently each battler would have a
good hold on his opponent but the au-
dience would soon see what looked like
the defeated man slip out of the hold
and then some more fast work would
be shown. The match is one of four
which Daily and Meigs will stage dur
ing the season. The next one will be
on the 30th of this month.
Paradis got the first fall In 20iR
minutes on head scissors and hammer
lock. Then a rest occurred and Trem
blay got the second fall on ham
mer lock and wrist twist in 1874 min
utes. Tremblay did not seem 10 exert
himself in the first bout but in the Sec
ond and third he took the aggressive
much more of the time. On one oeca-
sion the two men fell Off the staging

saved them from a bad fall Tremblay
tried TO use wrist hold on Paradis

for body scissors out Of which Trem
blay would clip with ease. Tremblay
rot the third fall in 90 minutes, There
was large crowd who cheered the two
men as they got out of the different
holds.
