YOKEL WINS
THE CONTEST

Twice in an Hour
Salt Lake. Mar. 20. Mike Yokel,
middleweight champion of the world,
won in straight falls last night from
Joe Turner, who was picked by a
N'ew York illustrated weekly as the
champion of tho world, okel got the
first fall in :- 1-2 minutes, beginning
hie decisive Rrlp with an inside
crotch and half-N'elson. bnt switching'
with lightning-like rapidity and ob- j
taining the actual fall with a bar and
head clancery, the hold with which
hi- conquered Honrv Gehrins
The second fall required 6 minutes
and 10 sveonds and was obtained with
a crotch and arm hold yokel simply
pit 'red Turner up slammed him to the
floor and held his shoulde rs to the
mat
Turner took his defeat in a sports- I
manlike- manner, making a speech In j
which he conceded Yokel to be the
beat middlewetghl wrestler in the j
world, yet saying he wanted to come
here thirty days before tho next
match and then play a return en
gagement. Turners talk was heerd to the
echo. He made thousands of friends.
Turner at th verv outset of the
bout began uslns every roueh bit. of
tactics not forbidden by the rules and
Mike paid him back In his own coin.
Roth punished each other severely,
but so adroit were they that the ref
eree had no occasion to caution them
The majority of the fans voted it a J
better match than the Yokcl-Gehrlng
engagement.
The belt now reverts to the weekly
that gave it and will probably, but not I
certainly, be awarded bj that publi- I

yenrs old. has done so much wrestl- I
inc that ho has familiarized himself
with every trick and device, all of
which he employed last nieht. but it
was futile, because his endurance was
not nearly equal to that of Yokel
Despite this Turner gave the 1
fr'iPidt! of Yokel many more anxious
moments than they had at the Ge
aring matrh The last seven minutes
preceding the first fall was furious.
Turner had rubbed his hand on Mike's :
sore oar and over his nose He had '
picked Mike up and with Mike's feet

j more with the object 'f inflicting pain
than in galnlnc any real advantage

Yokel s Fierce Rush,
Turner's breath was rapidly disap
pearing under those tactics and Yokel
kepi right alter him every second.
He first got an inside crotch and half

siderable pain on his opponent, Mike
switched to the bar and head chan

had to yield lie held OUl tn the last
ir etion of a second, and after Ref
eree Ben Harker had slapped Mike
on the shoulder Turner staggered
when he got to his feet !! held on
to Mike s hand long enough to shnke
li and then both scurried for their ,
dressing rooms, while cheers of the
great crowd reverberated through the
great hall
Most of the fans expected that
Turner would announce he was not
able to contest for the second fall. He
would not have been criticised if he
had done so, for he was palpably
v f ak, but Turner showed his game
neps by sending out word that he
would be nut in fine shape and that
he intended to win the next two falls
Nobody believed it, but everybody ad
mired a brave man's defi when he
was in the last ditch
After about eighteen minutes' rest
Yokel climbed through the ropes for
the second period, fries of 'Oh. ou
Mike" were all that could he distin
guished In the cheering Turner ap
peared a moment later, and he was
roundly cheered for his gameneBS and
his display of skill. lie put on a
brave front, but his heaving chr-u
and straining muscles showed he
ecu Id not last long Even after the
rest his breath was Irregular and
came In half gasps
Turner did his best, however, and
the brief second period lacked much
of the rough work of the first. The
visitor seemed to realise that Yokel
was quite competent to pay him back
twinae for twinge of any plain caus
ed .Tne was a little more careful
Turner got behind Mike for a brief
moment, but Mike was in a hurry.
He had told Mrs Yokel he would be
Ik me early, so he picked Turner up
bv the leg and arm and slammed him
1o the mat. Moreover, he had the
Btvens:th to hold him there with his
shoulders pinned to the mat.
Mike Is Lionized.
When the great crowd saw Referee
Ben Harker slap .Mikes back there
was a roar of applause, and after It
had subsided a little. Turner, with his
dressing gown over his shoulders,
signified his desire to make a talk
I In crowd was asked to be silent, as
Turner's breath was not equal to the
task of talking loud. Alter a mo
rrent to get his breath, Turner said.
"I came B long was to meet the
man whom I now concede to bo the
heel middleweight wrestler in the
world. I lost fair and square and
have no fault to find This is the
first time I ever set eyes on Yokel,
bul I want to say he is the most gen
erous adversary I ever met. I only
hope that I can come here thirty days
beforehand to train and get a return
match "
Cries of "yes, yea," and the friend
I'.si jipplau.s. erected Turner as he
was hurried off to his dressing room.
Th. stormy night did not keep the
crowd away from the great world's
championship wrestling match, for ev
ery seat was filled, and standing room
was sold at the same price as the $1
seats had been. The carpenters had
not had time to build bleachers all
around the auditorium but the big
structure was comfortably filled Per
haps WOO persons were standing. Be
tween 2500 and 3000 persons saw the
bout
There was onlv one preliminary, for
Promoter Harry Heagren realized that
the crowd wanted to see the stars
and would not wait patiently if asked
to enduro two preliminaries. George
Nelson, tho Salt Lake fireman, threw
Frank McCarroll of Idaho in 21 min
utes, but was uuable to throw him
again lu the nine minutes remaining
of the $0 minute limit McCarroll had
no time to show his offensive skill
because he was kept on the defen
sive almost every minute by Nelson
The crowd thought McCarroll was
much the lighter man and for that
reason he had a lot of sympathy, but
the weights announced were McCar
roll 176 and Nelson 180

1 1 was exactly 9 15 when Yokel
appeared in the ring and the dem
onstration made by his admirers was
deafening At ! 17 Turner crawled
through the rupes and was generous
ly applauded Hen Harker called the
wrestlers to the center of the mat
and gave brief instructions
The wrestlers grappled at I. 21
o'clock Kir6t one was behind and
then the other in bewildering rapid
ity At 9 25 Turner was behind Yo
kel for a full half minute and then
al 9.28 Mike bore him to the floor
and caught hold of his toe and held
hlru fast, but at 9 29 Turner was
behind Mike again. At Mike
had Turner on the mat and was
tr;. ing hard for a head lock, but Tur
uer bridged and did a spin deal
through the ropes At 9 32, after
both men had been brought bark on
the mat. Turner skirted to dam Ing
around and tried tor a chance to dive
for Mlke'K feel but could not do 11
successfully At 9", Turner got be
hind Mike and the crowd was anx
ious, but Mike reuchod hack over bis
shoulder and pulled Turner clear over.
At 9:36 Mike was on his bauds and
knees with Turner astride of him,
and utter one futile effort Mike rose
up and In a fierce struggle sent Tur
ner to the floor At 9:3'J both men
were sitting on the mat face to face
with arms and leg In an app.irein l
hopeless tangle, but with kaleidosco
pic rapidity and at 9 40 both were on
their feet and Turner was hissed by
B fen for Jabbing at Mike's eyes A.I
9.41 Turner got away from a bad
arm hold, bul MIki held 'he advan
tage until 9 I when Turner got be

At 9:45 Turner was behind Mike,
who wa6 sitting on the mat, and Tur
ner, stooping over, worked him up
ind down like the handle of a churn
Mike grabbed Turners leg and Tur
ner, In almost .i panto, let Mike gel
behind without apparent opposition
At i 48 both men were on their feet,
but when Mike made a feint Turner,
expecting a dive, dropped to his knees
and looked foolish for an instant A.
9:48 Mike was on top and was trying

hurled him to the floor. For the nexl
few minutes one had the advantage
and then the other Neither could get
an adequate hold on the other At
9:57 Turner tried -,o trip Mike the old
school boy fashion and tne crowd
hooted.
At 10 o clock both men were on
their feet and were practicing at jlu
Jitsu on each other's arms. At 10 05
Mike had Turner down, but Turner
managed to scramble off the mai

It,
Rules Not Violated
Those who hissed forgot that the
rules permit all that Turner was do
ing and that a man who aspires to
the championship must be uble to give
and take as Mike did last night. About
seven minutes before the finish, how
ever, of the first fall. Mike became
thoroughly enraged at Turner's tac
tics He went for him savagely and
ufter that Turner never had the ad
vantage. Mike followed him about
the ring, and even when Turner
dodged outside the ropes or played
leapfrog Yokel was after him every
minute.
Fans were greatly excited, but.
greatly relieved, for it was apparent
the locul man was soon to win
The last seven minutes included
moro actual wrestling than most 30
minute matches do. The crowd was
so Interested it torgot to cheer Fans
were tense and silent. At last Mikt
got Turner where he wanted him and
the Hnl6h soon came.
The second fall was leys exciting,
because everybody predicted It, but
Turner put up a good defense.
At 3 o'clock yesterday when they
weighed in, Yokel weighed exactly
168 and Turuer 156

Hoppe took the 18.1 billiard cham
pionship lrom Ora Morniugstar to
night by a Bt-ore of 500 to 211 In
thlrtj -two "innings Hoppe's average
was 15-20-32 and Mornlngstar's 6-19-32.
High runs were lloppc 96. SO,

MornlugBtar, who has held the title 1
for more than a )ear, never had a
chance The phlegmatic Hope pla -ed
with a confidence and precision
that seemed to get Morniugstar's
nervo early in the game.
Hoppe, besides playing wonderful
billiards, had all the luck of a win
ner Long table shots ho made with
a nonchalance that brought prolonged
applause Iu one of his other ap
pearance's here had Hoppe showed
such skill. His shots at times were
almost Impossible
In contrast Mornlngstar was a dis
appointment He had uone of the
freedom of Btroke tbat ordinarily
marks his game. He was constrained
and anxious and seemed to realise
early in the contett that defeat was
i certain.

San Francisco, March 20 It must

he didn't mind. He was too full of
his subject.
The point Jones is most puzzled
:.bout at present is his recent an
nouncement that he is to pilot old
Jeffrie;, on a second tou'- of the cham
pionship bell
No Joke About Jeff's Return.
"Here's the thing In n nutshell.'
said Jones "The suggestion came
from Jeffries himself. He has never I
quit brooding over whai happened al
Reno, and he still harbors the sus
picion that he was drugged by some
body. "Ho went on the water wagon sev
eral weeks hko and -stands to lose
heavily In wager? if he tastes booze
inside of a year. He has been train
ing on the quiet and he is full of
the notion that the present day heavy
weights are a lot of no-goods' He
told me In the presence of his broth
er Jack that he believed he could
lick the best man In sight at pres
ent, and that he had a good mind
to hop back into the game.
"1 bald to him, 'Why don't you
do It, then9' and Jack chipped in
with the remark that his big brother
was foolish not to take another whack
at fighting. We talked the matter
over from every angle and Jim told
me to go ahead and make whatever
announcement I saw fit, tho under
standing being that I was to act as
his manager if any matches were ar
ranged. "He s"iid he felt so good that he
believed he could be ready to box i

continues to improve as he has done!

Jeff Wants "Inducements."

ing on very thin ice
Can't Get Big Money Again.
From the look of things if Jeff
; is simply bent on figuring in one
match for big money he will be dia
appointed, The critics and the pub
lic will uot stand for anything like
that. If, as some say. his motive is
to rehabilitate himself and prove that
he Is a better fighter than his show ing
with Johnson would indicate he
' may be able to arouse interest In his
t plans for coming bark But by his
work we shall know him We will
need to test himself first with a course
of training and after that he should
hire a retinue of heavyweight rough-'
necks, and go at them in private soj
as to gain an idea of his ability to:
administer and receive.
Then If still convinced th.it he has a
tew fights left In him he can c-pp
a desire to be matched with some
of the lesser lights of the heavyweight
division, declaring at the same time
it is his Intention to work to the'
front gradually I
Ii Is the writers belief, however,
that Jeffries has been seen in thCi
ring for the last time There are
times when memories of that humil-l

caalona no doubt he feels of his mus-j

clares how different it would be If
