Murbarger Won From Edwards; Greek Beat Beal at Remington.

Sam Murbarger, alias Tom Coburn, undertook to throw Edwards, a two hundred pounder, two falls out of tyree, and was successful. A good house saw the boutjQknd everybody was of the opinion that they received their money’s worth. Murbarger got the first fall in twenty and one-half minutes and the second in fourteen. Edwards was about twenty pounds heavier, but much slower. Coburn proved his worth in this, a finish match. Polos, the Greek, and Fred Beal, a hundred and fifty pounder from Logansport, went on for a finish match Ot Chappel’s opera house, at Remington, Saturday night. Bell got the first fall in fourteen minutes, in rather a strange way. The Greek wah trying for a fall with a scissors lock, and Bell was retaliating with a good toe hold. The Greek was on his back and put both shoulders to the mat, apparently forgetting himself, judging from the other boufs we have seen -him work in. He came back very strong and threw Bell in a minute and a half. The third bout went five and threequarter minutes, the Greek getting the fall with a beautiful full-Nelson. A good house saw the match, and the game undoubtedly will receive splendid support there. The Greek will wrestle in Remington again soon, his opponent to be announced later. The winner of the match here had a challenge out to the winner of the Remington bout, consequently Murbarger and Polos will go on here Saturday night for a finish match, best two falls in three.
