Marlin and Michaels Wrestle Two Hours Without Fall.

Everett Marlin and Vic MiohaeLs wrestled two hours and ten minutes without a fall at the Ellis Saturday night. Michaels the advantage in weight by 44 pounds, but notwithstanding this great handicap, Marlin assumed the aggressive throughout the entire 'bout, and these tactics undoubtedly saved him form defeat by the Jordan township farmer iboy. Marlin showed a better knowledge of the game than Michaels, and this served to offset the greater strength and size of Michaels, Several times Michaels almost had Marlin pinned, but the Latter always managed to wriggle himself loose. The referee

finally "stopped the bout and called it a draw. In the preliminary John Welsh threw Chester Sigman. There will, be some more good bouts in the near future. In the future it is probable that the matches will be held on Saturday night, thus giving more town people a chance to witness them.
