BREEDLOVE PINS
SMITH TWICE IN
TWENTY MINUTES
Match Was One of the Best
Seen In This Section for
Long Time; Carrol Asks
to Meet Champion.
In a wrestling match that was fast
and full of action all the time,
Vernon Breedlove of Council Bluffs,
featherweight champion of the
world, successfully defended his title
against Walter Smith of Grand
Island, winning two falls in less than
20 minutes. The first fall was the
result of a head scissors and bar
arm hold in l minutes and 43 sec
onds, and the second with an arm
scissors and bar arm in 7 minutes
and 11 seconds. Smith proved to
be a wonderful little man and
wriggled out of seemingly certain
fall holds, but only once was he able
to get behind the champion.
When the match was over, Breed
love stated that Smith had given
him the hardest match he had been
in for a long time. The Grand
Island featherweight was strong and
fast and had a fine knowledge of the
game. He was dangerous even when
he was underneath and broke a num
ber of Vernon's favorite grips. He
was nearly down several times, but
squirmed in such a way that he
would get loose and the title-holder
would have to start in all over again.
It was a fine bout and the 500 fans
present cheered both, men heartily,
Breedlove for his victory, and Smith
for his wonderful defensive efforts.
Ervin Carrol of Lincoln chal
lenged Breedlove for a match for
the title, stating that he was. billed
to wrestle Smith at Grand Island in
two weeks. Vernon caused it to be
announced that he would meet Car
rol if he defeated Smith and would
post a substantial forfeit for his ap
pearance. Jack Tolliver, who lost to
Carrol in a match at Lincoln two
weeks ago in IS minutes, jumped
into the ring with a bundle of money
in his hand and offered to Det it
that he could beat the Lincoln
wrestler. Carrol suggested that the
rrmnev he olaced with the Lincoln
Star or the Omaha Bee and he would
cover it within two days after lie
was notified that the money was
un.
W rh the announcement mat jacK
Revnolds. welterweight champion of
the world, was in town, Billy Roman
off and Charlev Stephens Dotn
issued a challenge from the ring di
rected at Revnolds.
The amateur middleweight bout
which opened the show was won by
Ray Zobel over Elias Larson in two
straight falls in three minutes and
five minutes and 40 seconds re
spectively. In a hard 20-minute
match, Young Gotch of Omaha and
Jim Gorman of Miriden, la., wrestled
a draw. Gotch was the first behind,
but the Minden welterweight fought
him off and they see-sawed, first
one behind and then the other for
the full 20 minutes. There w,as fast
action every minute of this bout and
it is thought they will be rematched
for a return bout to a finish in the
near future, perhaps at the next

them than any city in the world. Is. it
true? And your new station. Is it the
largest west of Nevr York?"
"It is," replied Kansas city, in passing
out the Owl Cigars. "Quite frankly we are
proud of our city. But you, friend Cleveland,
helped us on the road to success. Your
steel helped us mightily to erect our new
buildings. Your chemicals are great aids
to our manufacturers. Two such thriving
Americans as we should pledge our friend

You might well expect that 'great cities
