For a total active time of 2 hours 13 minutes and 20 seconds the two gladiators struggled in each other's grasp, unable to obtain en advantaye one way or the other. Not a foul was Yeoorted against ejther man. At ‘every moment each was the clean sport and willing to let his rival ob- tain a slight advantage rather than violate the common law of fair play. Dushek weighed in before the match at 178 pounds. Eklund tipped the beam at 173 and in the language of the wrestling fan, the men were called an even match. At the time of opening gong, Dick Farrell, local ref- eres, was the third man in the ring. From the start of the first session, Dushek appeared to have the better of the argument, Repeated head- locks, scissors on every part of the body, and the ner which Dushek possesses of carrying his man about the ring and suddenly dropping him to the canvas, seemed to tell on Ek- lund. The man who had never been thrown by one of his own weight opened his eyes and realized that his toughest battle was before him: Time and again when Dushek seemed to have an unbreakable hold on his ad- versary, Eklund, who grappled in his bare feet, that thelr dexterity might be still more pronounced, held ‘him off by the power contained in those wonderful pedals. ‘The boy from the blue grass coun- try was also possessed of a trick or two for breaking holds. His sudden body flips brought him from the griz- zly grasp of Ekiund’s powerful legs time and again when defeat seemed imminent. ‘The speed and almost super-human, dexterity with which both men handted themselves at all times proved the chief point of wonder to the fans, and not a man sat back to rent while the grapplera Jay for min- utes in one position as is often the case in viewing the heavier men in acti Lwi, PALINA The Quality Cigar \ Since 1896" Java’s Glorious Gift to Smokers In gorgeous, glowing Java grows a tobacco that leads all others in its coaxing fragrance, caressing smoothness and captivating flavor.

He added to this an arm bar lock and the Wyoming man Was powerless in the the arms of t) young giant. A moment later, Ek- lund's shoulders touched the mat for the first fall. ¢ The second fall, in which the men grappled for 1 hour and 11 minutes, before reaching a decision, was per haps the most heartrending of all, in that holds obtained by both men caused intense suffering and the length of the fall was responsible for two completely worn out wrestlers at its conclusion. The “fints’ sign to th second con test was hung out when Eklund, whose condition was slowly beginning to tell on his opponeft, obtained what is concedfed to be the :nost painful hold in the wrestling game. Experts call it the reinforced leg strangle and it is a grip known only to close fol- lowers of the grappling game, and ts sekiom used because hard to obtain. The pain grew so intense that Du shek, unable to break the clutch and feeling his waning senses slipping, knocked upon the floor as a sign of “nuft.” In the third encounter, which lasted for 19 minutes and 30 seconds, Eklund ‘easily had the better of his man, through the crippled condition of Dushek's I leg. However, the Ken. tuaky boy showed plainly that his hat was still in the ring. When he ob- tained a complicated neck hold on the Sheridan veteran, and forced him slowly to the mat, It was at this time that Eklund’s wonderful legs stood him in good ‘stead, and added another scalp to his grappling belt. A _ powerful flip threw the husky Duehek into the air. ‘He was unable to catch himself in time, and landed with a dull thud on the end of his spine. He lay there writhing unable to rise, but game to the last. Eklund’s hand was ral: in the alr and Caspers finest a! round wrestling match tn years and for years to come had terminated.

Where was “Dude” Gilmore, the man Casper had chosen for ber light- weight champion? This question is bothering the fans today, and it ts rumorea that a number of them are on a stil hunt-for the “Dude.” At the eleventh hour after Walt Walters, his potential opponent had arrived from Laramie on edge for the battle, the “Dude” refused to carry out his contract with the Legion, and Walters found himself without an opponent. bed At the last moment Young Ketche! and Kid Howard, local boys, were ob. tained as substitutes. The bout was short, and terminated in the second round, when Ketchel took # rather un- sportsmanlike advantage of his oppo- nent, and rushed him in his corner before he had come to meet him. The blow delivered at that time was really responsible for the weakening of How- ard and his consequent knockout in the latter part of the session. Ketche! ‘was well within the rules, however, as the gong had rung at the time of the blow, Sport Calendar eco ° eococes Shooting.
