hi hie splendid con condition condition condi condi- i. i tion that won for him I Yol Yokel cl surely surprised ed his fi friends friends- en snot s- s not because he won for those who know him best figured figurea him to win but because he be defeated the sturdy Greek Crock at his own game Instead of starting I out to win quickly by superior wrestling wres ability as it was believed lielie he would have ha to do Yokel tore right in inami inan inand an and ami roughed it with his opponent of whom it has hs p often been said The Tho The longer ho he goes the tho tougher he gets until he had hint him so weakened that when wIlen tho first test on the mat came he showed so much speed and strength that tho the Greek was completely helpless before him Instead of Yokel being exhausted it was the Greek Greck who showed the effects of the tho gruelling Jordana Jordans statement this morning that tho the first fall was Yokels Yokel's but that ho hoca that he him the tho was wats ca so so disgusted gave gR second mn may or may mav not bo be true From Froma ioma a spectators spectator's point point point-of of view however it was plainly evident c that yokel Yokel okel would have secured the second without any anya a assistance s Yokel as was was' the tho better man last night Jordan was cautions cautious throughout hout and andin andin andin in tho the few Low times ho lie and Yokel wont to the mat no matter who happened to tobe tobe tobe be on top Jordan was always ah really ready to jump to his feet and safety wat at the fir first t opportunity Yokel on other hand handas was ns as always ah courting a chance chanco to mix it and when the chance cnance did arrive he ho homade made mane hay while the sun Bun shone It was the real Mike ike Yokel who ap on the mat nat last night He was was trained to the tho minute and prepared for foran an any emergency enc Jordan also looked mi mighty good He Ito is a bear on his feet iud Hud utI can weaken any middle weight except pt n a Yokel in condition with his wonderful strength th and his ability to 1 rough lough h it I In Ju U all tn the three hours and thirty six minutes of ci activity the men were on their Jm knees seven times and on the mat about four times It rt was W tedious is and tiresome sport for the spectators as alt all blood matches are arc The rhe flip flops Hops which led up P to the first fall however r brou brought ht out enough h excitement to make malc up for the tiresome performance perform ance which characterized the balance of the match Such an ovation ns as Yokel Yokel Yo Yo- kel received when he won the first fall all ha seldom been heard in this city Business 8 men inca professional men and everybody c cheered for fully futh ten minutes s sin in a manner that was I f IThe The proceedings dings which led up to the first fall were interesting and fast last Jordan made a dive divo for Yokels Yokel's legs and they went down together with tl the c Greek Greck on on top In an instant Y Yokel kol kel tore toro away liko like a streak of lightning and antI took the tho offense lb Ho went behind Jordan Jordan Jor Jor- dan an and held heM his opponent for almost a R minute as if to take a rest Then ho he tore in and put on a half hulf dozen different dif- dif ferent holds in rapidity until he ho tricked the Gre Greek k into a half haff and rind then with all his his' weight antI and strength th forced his opponents opponent's op shoulders hou down The second rail fall came ame Yokel tore right Into Jordan and the two were on oTi th mat in an Instant Yokel again aln the I f and Immediately put on Oil his uk favorite tar car and head scissors until ho had g gained this fall also alo Prior to that the two men had haa spent almost all of oC the tho time on their feet Each man fIlan was wai apparently trying t tt weaken hIs opponent Both stood up well under th tile punishment oel handled Jordan JordanI I pretty rc U toughly at times by keeping his hla head underneath usually against ar Jordans Jordan's none and 1111 ther then with w a a wd o hold on hl his hilt r tI neck thA th face fac 1 Cf I against his head This seemed to nettle I Jordan and man many times Jordan brought un under er the tho knuckles of ot his hand and rubbed them Yokels Yokel's face to puh ush him a away way Jordan deliberately shoved his hill fingers Into Yok Yokels Yokel's l 8 eyes and the referee cautioned him The crowd was with Yokel almost to toa toa a a. man and at Um times showed their partiality par liar too strongly Many times Umes persons in the tho crowd would hiss bias and call caU to ther the r referee fer c. asking him to disqualify Jordan Usually there was no ground for complaint com corn plaint for Jordan was working strictly within the thc rules Yules of ot wrestling Ho applied no strangle holds Of course he did wrong when he shoved his fingers lingers into Yokels Yokel's eyes eye but Referee Billy Hughes probably did the wise thing by y refraining
