Fred lieell rrtilnrd his title as light
Deary wrta-ht champion of the world
before a miwd of 2000 people In Oregon
IUII Friday night, but It was by the
forfeit route, preceded by one hour and
lo minutes of wrestling, a n't fight and
the separating of the combatants by
the police. It was by far the mont
'icltltig huut In the history of the
I'ortUnd mat panic, and. to the average
fan. the moot disgusting.

Captain of Police Ulley and a squad

making a fruitless effort to talk.

Whatever the .texhnlcal points - In

t ondemred for refusing to continue
the bout, lie apparently had an equal

"When Hie police stopped the bout It
should have been declared off and the

Herg In his dressing-room. "If I go

The poking of a ftnzer or thumb In

never fouled a man In my life, but

"Iterg deliberately stuck his thumb

badly lacerated ball of his left eye. "I
was ready to continue, regardless of

"I did nut see a foul committed and
took It for granted that It waa unin

at one time was heavyweight champion
of the world." I ordered Berg to return

Announcer Schye named Herbert

strenuously, asking for Sid Noel, who
has referred several recent matches.
V. Tralnor. one of the promoters, made
an appeal on behalf of Greenland, but
Berg remained firm and finally Joe Ac
ton w.i s agreed upon aa a compromise.
While It lasted the bout waa one of
the best ever seen here. Beell was on
the af gresslve far nearly SO minutes of
the TS. but Berg held his own. success
fully breaking all holds which prom
ised to be dangerous, until Beell se
cured the arm and head lock whlrh
brought about the exciting finals. Beell
worked for Berg's toes during the
match, finding his neck and arms prac
ticaly Invulnerable.
Both men were llichtning fast, but
Beell took thlnvs e isiest and apparent
ly had the most In reserve. Beell se
cured many arm locks while the men
were tugging each other about the mat,
and once or twice had Berg In danger

kanlie managed to break away.
The nrst J minutes of the bout saw
Berg on the offensive. He carried the

At the end of the match the crowd
llnaered about In ant h-lpatlon of fur
ther trouble. When Berg. Shores, his
second, and a man with the ticket box
started down the street, a crowd of TS
people followed them for an hour. The
money. In the hands of Beell and Eddie
O'Connell. waa spirited aaay In an au
tomobile. At a late hour the princi
pals and the promoters had not met
for the division of the receipts.
It later developed that the tickets
had been checked over by represents-,
tlves of Hera- and Beell and -were taken'
to the police station, where Captain
Keller was asked to take charge of the
box. He refused and the tickets were
stored away pending a financial settle

safe at Schiller's cigar store.
