Jim Dandy Wrestling Match at Remington Saturday Night.

There was not a very big crowd but it was an enthusiastic one that witnessed the wrestling match at Remington last Saturday night, w* Jim Chappell beat “Cotton” well after two hard tussels as a preliminary and Victor Babcock won from “Robin” May in the semi-final. This was a good match, the men helms about the same size and both as game as could be. These two matches were worth the price of admission and tho crowd was well pleased when the match between Polos and Martin Lewis was called. Lewis did not prove to be as heavy as had been expected and Polos seemed to have it over him but he was a hard worker and got ort of a number o| tight places and gave a fine exhibition of wrestling, several times almost landing the Greek. He finally injured his right wrist by striking it across a board that shielded the footlights and he was not able to use it again -during the contest. Ho was greatly handicapped but went for 21 minutes the first fall and 13 minhtes the second. The men agreed to meet again on the evening of April 22nd at Chappell’s theatre and it is believed the interest shown last Saturday will draw a big crowd out for the next match. Polos will spend two or three days in Remington prior to the match and will give some of the young fellows lessons in offensive and defensive wrestling. Mr. Chappel will put the tickets on sale at onee and some seats were sold Saturday night. The match will again be started with one or two preliminaries.
