THE GREEK WINS.

Lafayette Man Proves to Be Too Much for Marbarger in Handicap Match. Polos, the Lafayette won the handicap match Saturday night from San Marbarger of Indianapolis. Marbarger, who had agreed to throw Polos twice in an hour, soon discovered that he had his work cut out for him. The match was ideal from the spectator’s standpoint as both men were busy every minute, and their work entire was replete with'sensational stunts. It was an hour of brilliant defense on Polos’ part, while Marbarger’s attack was no less good. Few, if any, of the patrons ,of the game, have ever seen a better show in any town. Marbarger, while weighing possibly 190, found his weight no advantage, as he was the slower of the two. Polos, was in ideal condition and looked to weigh about 165, although he gave his weight as 158. Any doubt that remained in the spectator’s mind of Polos’ ability to throw Stewart was certainly dispelled. This would make a dandy match at weight to a finish. Hickman and Eiglesbach, who went on in the prelim, started at a 1:59 clip, but were almost exhausted at the end of thirty minutes when time was called. Neither man being able to gain a fall. Both boys showed improvement due to Marbarger’s coaching. Marbarger meets Billy Edwards of Chicago next Saturday night in a finish match. If the attendance last Saturday * night Avas any indication, the S. R. O. sign will be hung out early in the day. Billy Edwards’ reputation is good, and with he and Marbarger as the attraction Rensselaer sports are sure of seeing a good match. These men would in a city and the management iS to be congratulated on securing such well Jcnown grapplers. Such matches as that of Saturday are bound to draw well, as there were plenty of visitors, from Parr, Francesville, Remington and even Monticello.
