LOCAL SPORTING GOSSIP 1 - McGRAW WILL LEAD Nt W YORK NO MORf ARNDT AND SMITH LENTS TO HAVE GOOD BALL TEAM Wrestlers Work Industrious ly to Defeat Each Other Smith Wins Two Falls out of Three Charles “Htrangler" Smith and Oscar Gustafson battled for wreatliug suprem acy before a good house here Monday evening After some daisy caused by weather coiidilioas, lielatrd cars, no lights, etc, the bout proceeded to the entire satis faction of the representative citlaena present from l^nts and other Mt Hcolt districts. Heveral notable wrestlers were pre# ent, among lliern John Berg, light- heavy weight champion uf the world, and Walt Arndt, claimant id Pacific Coast light weight championship. Tbs preliminary go between two local lads was won by Frank Wilson, two out <>f tbr s falls. At least this Hi the referee's decision, I ut not one given general credit. John Berg wss chosen referee of main affair, end immediately called two grspplers from their corners. Hmitli sprang from his seat with agility of a tiger, Gustafson ambling forth lull of confidence al the same time. After the introduction and hand eliake, time keeper Jesse Dunbar called “time'' anil Ixith men gathered them selves together Io take and give each oilier bis medicine. Fur 2o minutes s|>rciators saw a» good and lively a match, it not lietter, than ever witne»iH*d on the coast, Each man waa keyed up to perfection, each weighed the same, ea< h was trained well tn his respective holds, movements, etc., and in fact it looked like an even go all around Alterv trying all the various holds on his man, Knuth finally »••cured his "sure as death" strangle hold and after a lew seconds of writhing Gus tafson*» shoulders touched the mat and Hmitli w as declared the winner of the first (all in “I minutes ami 30 seconds. Gustafson soon revived from the ef fects of the terrible ordeal and when the five-minute rest was over came bai k stronger than ever. Hmitli was all con fidence by this lime, whereas at inter vals in the first 20 minutes doubtful- nrsa waa written all over his features. The Swedish champion broke the strangle bold twne and as many times did Smith extract himself from perilous positions before Gustafson secured the never failing head scissor and toe hold Hmilh was powerless but stayed with it. until actually lairtie to the mat, tins- tafson lieiog declare*! the winner of this fall in eight minutes. Although given an awful set back and In-ing completely at the Hwsde's mercy during the second round, Smith wss “all wrestler" when lie came back for the tussle that was to decide the final fall. Thia proved to hi* a battle royal. After trying in vain to duplicate his former success the Swede at-l hliusrlf to even harsher methods but Smith's train ing and strength Isire him through un til given an opportunity for the strangle hold However it was only after secur ing it the third time that he put his man down ami was declared the win ner by referee Berg. The audience was generally well satis fied with the outcome and congratulated Smith warmly. At the termination Smith received challenges from Arndt for a go here two weeka from that dale and for a return match with Gustafson, latrnng the strangle hold. Arndt's challenge was accepted and Gustafson's, a» well, is to staged here soon The affair waa very commendable in that no rowdyism or roughne»» wax |x»r- milled. Borg announced privately after the bout that ho would back Gustafson for ♦ lie» against Smith, barring the strangle hold, anytime. “But," he added, "they are both g*»xi men and it would t>e hard to really pick the winner." » * > t * After accepting Walter Arndt's chal lenge to a best two out of three match. Strangler Smith said, addressing a Her ald reporter “1 have been receiving challenges from thia man for the last year, and I gladly accept. The only reason we have not met befors io that 1 never could find the time to journey clear to California, but now that he is here I welcome the chance, for I can throw him handily.“ Arndt has appeared on different oc casions at tbe Southern City end la overly anxious to get on the mat here in Portland, and the chance to get a crack at Smith the first thing He re- residiM in Portland, where he has a brother who appear« often on the mat in amateur goes. To the Herald report er he said: “I honestly think 1 am the lietter of tiie two. but 1 want to try my mettle with Smith, of course 1 know he outweighs me from 6 to 10 pounds but i’ll allow him that just to get a chance at him." "And one thing more," he said aa the reporter turned to go, "if we meet here I promise the public a go that will be worth the mon ey." The bout will probably be stage*! al the < .range Hall after the Gustafs >u re turn match. Full particulars a ill be announced a later.

With the advent of tbe new year and the approach of Spring, Iqcai fans here have lieati wondering as to tbs future of 1-sols' ball team and whether or not we would have one this year. It seems to be a settled fact hat we will have a team, and a fast one, if Jesse Dun liar, leader of last year’s team, is given any kind of encouragement, lie says bs believes be can gather the ma jor part of last season's championship bunch together and that their ranks will ha tilled with some of tbe fastest men in tbe state if need be. There is no reason why ws should not maintain onr standard of ball playing and our reputation for being tbe beet amateur ball town in the county. Last season’s team gave the town more real live advertising than anything we have ever bad, and their playing set a pace that waa hard for other teams to follow. With tbe name for su;>erior playing we acquired last year and the assurance of the same support there is no reason why we should not cop the champion ship this year.
