in the main event. When the contes.
tants were introduced, Anderson made
a little speech in which he assured
us that he had come down to win
this match fairly and squarely. This
pleased the crowd and made everyone
feel sort Of acquainted with him. The
crowd assured him square deal by
their applause. At this point AL (Kid)
Sanders insisted upon challenging the
winner for 800, winner to take all,
in spite Of the statement by Miller in
last weeks Leader that he would lis.
ten to no challenges made before the
match and would then give preference
to anyone proposed by Thye.
Jimmie Anderson from the very
first proved to be the most scienced
as well as the fastest wrestler who
has ever appeared in Lincoln County
and it is rumored that under his right
name he is so considered everywhere
His ability to work out OF dangerous
places amazed even the old devotee's
of the game. The first fall went to
Anderson in 32 minutes fiat, by head
scissors with the right arm also in
the scissors and bar, but not WIN.
out himself being in danger several
times. After ten minute rest they
came back both looking fresh and in
16 minutes and 80 seconds Miller had
a full Nelson which placed Anderson
in such a position that he conceded
the fall. 1t was unfortunate that the
referee at this time was watching for
the usual roll over that comes with a
full Nelson and failed to notice that
Miller also had leg block ON Ander-
son and the noise made by the crowd
drowned out the patting of Anderson's
hands On the mat This placed An.
derson in very precarious position
and badly strained his neck, which
could have been avoided, but o ref
cree is only human and did the best
he knew how The men had no more
than reached their corners than An
derson asked Miller thru the referee
to eliminate the rest period as his
neck was getting stiff. This Miller
agreed to do although both still
breathed very hard. They immedi-
ately went to the mat Miller getting
another full Nelson in two minutes,
and As seconds. Anderson at once
conceded the fall, not caring to take
any chances with his neck.
The match throughout was honestly
and squarely fought by both contes-
tants and the referee had very little
to do. The falls were clean and with
out chance to contest any Of the de-
cisions. A very great deal is due D.
S. Avery who organized and managed
) the affair and in whom it Is very ap-
parent Ted Thye has great deal Of
confidence. Avery assures us we
will here from him again shortly as
he intends to keep right on the trail
of that hundred dollars.
1t is rumored that the real name
of Anderson is Hagar and that he is
the Middle West champion and con.
sidered one of the cleverest wrestlers
in the world. Some boy that Charlie!
Remarks Of the ringside:-
Anderson: "He is the strongest man
for his weight ever met"
Avery: Bring HIM HOME JIM
MIE, BRING HIM HOME!"
Anderson: "What the h does
that guy do to get that grip?
The Crowd: milk cows!"
Miller, Jr.: Come on Miller, Come
on Miller!"
Mrs. Fowler: Get out of the way
Pat!"
Thye: "Take your time Jimmie
don't make any mistakesw
Avery: "If you do Jimmie you'll
make a tramp out of mel"
After the match Miller's hackers
Immediately hunted up Sanders, to ac-
cept his challenge. (Thye not having
offered to send in another mani. San
ders very readily admitted he had
changed his mind after seeing the
match agreeing that Miller was the
better man and offered to give Charlie
one hundred dollars rather than go on
the nat with him. This seemed to
satisfy Miller's supporters who agree
that match between Miller and
Sanders would create too much i'll
feeling at this time.
Charlie Miller is sure putting Lin
coin county on the map. We would
all like to be inside the Multnomah
Club room when Thye tells them
about this match
