Nichols Bests Battleday in Best Wrestling Match of Season.

The wrestling match between Clifford Nichols and Art Battleday Saturday night was generally pronounced the best so far held here. Nichols proved the best, mainly because of his greater weight and won in two straight downs, 6% and 32 minutes. Both 'young men demonstrated that they knew something about wrebt'iug and Nichols especially seemed clover at getting effective bolds, but Battleday squirmed out of many tight places and gave the audience a good show. Leon Eiglesbach proved too clever for Alfred Sharp and Kenneth Rhoades, winning from each. Ha'-ry Hickman won Jwo falls from Robert Anderson.
