Bill Collins of Central Village was the winner on New Years afternoon in his home town in a handicap wrest ling match with Dan Murphy of Nor- wich, the well known member of the Philadelphia_Athletics. Dan_under- took the contract to throw the wiry Central Village mat man twice in an hour, but found the job too much, as he falled to put Coliins' shoulders to the mat even once In the sllotted time. The bout was full of mction, for neither man stalled for a moment at the catch as catch can game. Murphy had the weight and also the strength to handle Collins without gentleness, and as the Central Village man was always ready to come back, there were many whirlwind mixups in which the wrestlers changed positions in double- quick time as they rolled from side to side of the mat. Murphy roughed up Colling' face considerably and in one flerce axchange Murphy had his cheek laid open by a jab from Collins elbow. Both wrestiers were freely stained with his blood before the bout was over. Murphy’s cheek was sewed up by Dr. Casey upon his return to Norwich. Dan showed considerable science at the game, but the greater experience of Collins enabled him to escape each time from the dangerous positions that Murphy forced him into.
