LOCAL SPORT FIELD

Everything is set for the big
Domke-Albrecht match at the Caugh-
rem Theatre tonight.
Albrecht has notified the promot-
ers that he will be here without fail,
and that he is looking for one of the
best bouts of the season when he
meets the big unconquered Sank Cen
tire man.
Farmer Domke, on the other hand,
is all primed for the battle. 1t will
be the biggest match he has had this
spring, and the big fellow is taking
no chances on Albrecht. The giant
Minneapolis cop is one of the best
men in the game in Minnesota today
and he is acknowledged as such by
the press of the cities.
Although the seat sale has been
fair during the past week at the
theatre, word has come in that West
port and other out-laying towns are
sending large delegations to the
match, and the ring.-side seats have
practically all been spoken for:
Two fast preliminaries have been
slated, one of which will be sparing
bout between. two professionals, and
the second, a wrestling exhibition
by professionals.
The evenings program has been
well arranged under the direction OF
the theatre management, and the
event tonight promises to be the
most interesting wrestling bout ever
staged in Sank Centre.
During the past week or two
Domke has had some excellent work
outs, of which one was his match last
Friday at Albany.
Hands orchestra has been schedul-
ed to furnish music at the theatre
during the match.
Farmer Paul Domke, Sank Cen
tres wrestling pride, won further
laurels last Friday night when he
threw Joe Tomsche, self-styled
champion of Minnesota" in one
hour and forty-five minutes. "
The match was staged at Albany,
the old home of Tomsche and in the
presence of a large delegation OF
Tomsche admirers.
Because the match went over one
hour and twenty minutes, only one
fall was necessary to win the bout,
and this Domke secured at the end
of one hour and forty-five minutes.
He landed his man with the wrist
lock, forcing Tomsche to give up
without the necessity of forcing him
to the mat. IT,,
On the same evening, Nelson Sam
uelson of Willmar, challenged Domke
for a match and this affair will in all
probability be staged at Melrose. The
dates have not been arranged.
The base ball season in Sank Cen
ire formally opened last Thursday
when the Independents, an organiza-
ton of picked players from the high
school and about town, defeated the
Burtrum high school here by a score
of II to 9. Ted Lewis did the mound
work for the locals and Leo "Red'
Book, did the receiving on the other
end of the battery line.
