Good Sized Audience Witnessed Women Wrestlers Wednesday Night.

With Wednesday night’s matches at the opera house, the 1911 wrestling season was formerly inaugurated. The bouts had been given quite a lot of publicity and a fair sized audience greeted the mat artists. No doubt curiosity played a great part, Inasmuch as the principle bout was between Miss Cora Livingston, the present female champion, and Miss May Herman, bf .Chicago, the pretender to the title. In the first contest Aria Coppel, of Shelbyville, Ind., who was substituted for young Olsen, outweighed Jimmy MUlls, and got the decision in straight falls. Coppel weighed about 165, while Mills was ten pounds lighter. They were both clever and fast, but superior weight told, and Coppel took thd first fall in 12 minutes and 10 seconds, with a reverse body hold and the second fall in 5 minutes and 58 seconds with a body hold. The bout failed to arouse the enthusiasm generally shown, as the crowd was on edge for the main bout. Miss Herman looked to be the heavier, and before .time wad called, the strangle hold was barred, but the toe hold was not. Miss Livingston bad previously suffered an injury of her ankle, And naturally wanted this hold barred also. Both contestants were eager for the fray, and it was a decided novelty to see the two women handle themselvM 60 well in this branch of athletic sport It took the champion 5 minutes and 5 seconds to pin her opponent for the first fall. The pretender came back, however, and secured the second fall in three minutes flat. Miss Livingston retained her title by taking the third fall in two and one half minutes. A great deal of skill and science was exhibited and the well behaved audience took a great deal of Interest in the falls. Miss Livingston is a physical culture expert, and believes that women have the same right to perfect themselves physically as the men.

High School Notes.

The R. H. S. foot-ball team played Hammond high school last Saturday. The result was another victory for the home team, the score being 9-6. Rev. P. H. Lewis, a field agent for the McKinney Polytechnic school for colored boys and girls at McKinney, Ky., spoke to the high school Monday morning about/the training and industrial education of the negroes. The talk was especially interesting to toe students. The teachers of both schools will visit other schools Thursday and Friday. For that reason will be no school those days. There was no music period this week on account of the illness of Mrs. Nuthall, the mosic teacher. Therefore school was dismissed at 3:20 in the afternoon.
