KE TONEN WINS
HARD BATTLE.
SIXTY-FOUR MIN UTES RE-
QUIRED TO GET FIRST FALL
FROM DEMETRAL.

Several hundred lovers of the
wrestling and boxing game were
thrilled at the Memorial Gymnasium
last evening yhen Waino Ketonen of
Rutland, Mass, worlds middle
weight champion, and Jimmy Deme-
trail of Madison, Wisconsin, fought
sixty-four minutes in a gruelling
catchras-catch-can wrestling bout be-
fore first fall went to Ketonen. An
armlock was the undoing of Deme-
trail at this time.
Both men were in good condition
and gave the spectators a fine ex-
hibition of the wrestling art. Keto-
men weighed in at 160 lbs and Deme-
trial at 167. Sig. Olson was the
third man on the mat as referee
while W.. A. Baldauf, w. T. Buckley
and Thos. Murn were timers.
Ketonen also secured the second
fall after ten minutes of hard work
A toe hold was used on Demetral for
the second fall. Both men wrestled
a clean game and the match was de-
void of the usual unclean tactics
used upon an adversary.
AS preliminaries to the main
event, Darges of Winton and Mosnik
of Ely boxed three rounds for
points. Both weighed 1870 pounds
and the points secured were Darges
48 and Mosnik AZ.
The Tomsich twins, boys eight
years of age, in two-round bout,
kept the audience in an uproar by
their tactics. The announcer, DIR.
y. E. Thompson. after the bout
stated the other had won.
Tony Lickar, the Ely boxer who
has been cutting considerable of
swath III several Wisconsin cities the
past year in the arena, was to go
three rounds with Handsome" Pix
ka of Virginia. Lickar was at hand
but Pil1ka failed TO show up and VIM.
Mcfarland of this city was substitute
ed. Both of these showed good
form and gave good exhibitin. 1t
is unfortunate that Pikka failed to
appear after all arrangements had
been made and advertising matter
distributed. The spectators wished
to see the local boy in action against
Pikka who had been hailed as
conner. After the fasco he pulled
last evening IL Is the OPINION or
many that Pikka should change his
name tc "piker"
The exhibition was staged by Pro-
moter Erick Anttila and thanks are
due him for very pleasant even
ing of sport. The audience was
well pleased with the entertainment
and the chances are that other bouts
will be arranged. We will probably
not see two world celebrities here
again in some time. The Memorial
Gym is adapted for convenience to
spectators and a good view of the
floor is obtainable from all angles.
The High School band furnished
music for the occasion.
