of the bout was equally divided
in Klamath Falls wrestling cir
cles Tuesday. The two grapplcra
will come together on about ev
en terms, although Jesse James,
one of the best-liked wrestlers
Tin the business, -will probably
draw the support of a large ma
jority of fans. Ile has been a
strong tournament favorite alnco
his sensational performances in
early rounds.
The two grapplera employ ex
actly' opposite methods In the
ring. James, lightning fast and
extremoly supple, is a scientific
. master, while McSholn uses un
orthodox tactics, specializing. In
a hidden uppcrcut with which
he attempts to dnr.e his oppon
ents. His favorite finisher is tho

James uses a number of spec
tacular maneuvers, chief of
which are the alligator clutch
and a variety of pinning holds
in which ho uses his legs to
great advantage.
