Zbyszko Defeats
Italian Wrestler
Hulk and Bulk of the Polish Wrestler
Too Much for the Doughty son.
of Italy.

Before a gathering of fans that
almost filled the hall Wladek
Zbyszko. nationally Known heavy
weight wrestler. triumphed over
Nazzereno Poggi, Italian, at Bonino's
hall Tuesday evening in the first of
a series of wrestling bouts to be
staged this winter.
The Pole took the first fall in 81
minutes and the second in IS
minutes.
Zbyszko was much the heavier and
this advantage in weight helped him
materially in downing the Italian.
Poggi. doughty son of Italy, put up
good match and showed chat he
was no novice at the game. Against
mar of equal weight he probably
would be returned victor. But
against the great hulk and bulk of
the Pole he was at a great dis
advantage. A number of times
Poggi had. his opponent in bad way
and near to a fall, but he lacked the
strength and weight to put it
through: Poggi had an arm hold
with which he brought Zbyszko to
the mat several times but each time
the Pole was able to stave off fall.
The Italian repeatedly broke holds
clamped on by the Pole, and, while it
was apparent that he could hardly
expect to win the match, his ability
stood off the Pole longer than many
fans expected.
At the close of the match Zbyszko
paid his compliments to the Italian
by saying that ne. was wonderful
wrestler and oae of the best men
that he had ever met on the mat.
Chas. Leppanen, of Duluth, hailed
as the Finnish champion wrestler,
and John Sutherland, of lronwood,
local talent, furnished the pre-
Urinary. In this match Leppanen
had agreed to throw the Ironwood
man twice in 80 minutes. But he
found his. opponent tougher pro-
position than he bargained fof and
was able to get but one fall in the
allotted time. Leppanen pinned
Sutherland after 20 minutes of
wrestling. After short period of
rest they came back for ten minutes
more, the match going the limit with
out fall.
Sutherland was on the defensive
most Of the time, his main smethod OF
defense being a toe hold He con-
tinually worried his opponent with
the toe hold but was unable to secure
a fall Sutherland had the adj
vantage in weight and with. his
knowledge of the game put up a good
fight, considering the fact that he is
a miner who works every day and
does not attempt to keep in condition
for wrestling
Z Fans, expressed general satisfac.
ton at the bout. which was conducted
in an orderly and business-like way
P. j Lancer acted as referee.
