Meet DOES THE STUNT Three Falls From William Aid .rich in an Hour. FIRST IS THE HARDEST Aggregate Time Taking 21:30 Wants Demetral Here. Carl Busch, the German wrestling champion, found no great difficulty in winning his handicap match with Wil liam Aldrich of , Galesburg, last even ing at the Illinois theater. Busch, ac cording to the terms, was to throw Aldrich three times in an hour, or for feit his end of the purse. He had the most difficulty iu securing the first fall, which he won in 21:1-2 minutes, but he won the second in 10 minutes, and the third in 15 minutes, making his aggregate time for the three falls 46:30. Aldrich naturally made his en tire effort i'oi time; rather than play ing on the aggressive, and in the first fall it seemed that he might be able to keep himself off the mat long enough to more than cover the hour. He was on his feet at every opportun ity, and played a clever game to delay the bout. He proved a worthy oppo nent for the German under the terms, and slipped away from many embar rassing positions which seemed cer tain to put him on his back. Busch was puzzled at first by Aldrich's tac tics of evasion, but after a time found the weak spots. The German employ ed more leg clutches than usual, and to good advantage. The superior strength of Busch stood him will, and had Aldrich been a bit stronger, he might easily have turned the tables on the German. Busch was cpparently the more clever, too, for he several times allowed Aid rich to gain a seemingly advantageous position for oifensive work, and with a sudden turn threw Aldrich into a de fensive position from which the Gales burg champion found it difficult to ex tricate himself. AViH Take Greek On. At the close of the match Aldrich announced that he had no excuse to offer, that he simply was out of his class against Busch. He stated it to be an error that his weight was 178 and that as a matter of fact he is much lighter. Busch stated his own weight at IrS, and offered to wager that he would tip the scales at that figure. Aldrich claimed his weight at 140 pounds. Busch stated that he is ready at any time to meet Demetral, the Greek. .in either of the three cities. He express ed regret that the wrestling matches he has been putting on at the Illinois here and in the theater in Moline have not met with better favor among the sporting element. The matches have been excellent, exhibitions of the wrest ling game, and have been worthy of more attention' in sporting circles. (iooil Preliminary Given. An interesting preliminary was af forded last evening in two falls in which Robert Anderson and Emil Spoerey, both members of the Moline Athletic club were the opponents Anderson won the first fall in 9 min utes, and Spoerey took the second in 8:05. The men did not go on for the rubber. John Voss, the local wrestler, refer- eed both matches. icals published by the Book Concern. Another. Book Concern CbAnge. Another change . will take place at the Book Concern Jan. 1, when Rev. C. J. ,Sodergren of Burlington, Iowa, will become editor-in-chief of the Young ' Lutherans' Companion, the synod's - English weekly publication. Rev. Sadergrcn succeeds Rev. O. V Holmgraiu, who has edited the Com panion for several years. Rev. Soder- gren has edited the "Home Circle" de partment of the Companion for some time and has achieved such success that the board of directors at their last meeting chose him as editor-in chief of the publication. He will not remove to Reck Island, however, but will edit the weekly from Burlington where he is pastor of the Messiah Lutheran church. He was formerly professor of Christianity at Augustana college, but was forced to .resign on account or poor health. He was re cently "recalled to fill that position, but did not accept. (illliilnn Next Entertainer. Strickland W. Gillilan, the "Chicago News man," will be the attraction on the Augustana college lyceum course tomorrow evening. Mr. Gillilan is known as one of the leading magazine, newspaper and platform humorists in the country, and will undoubtedly en tertain his audience it press notices rrom other places where he has ap peared can be considered an indication of his popularity. Besides appearing on- the lecture platform, Mr. Gillilan is a constant contributor of humor to the leading magazines in the country. He also writes poetry of no little merit. His programs are entirely original and contain nothing but his own humor. Following is an example of a Gillian-ism: "The floorwalker looked like a United States senator, but he wasn't he was a perfect gentleman. He told me 'Back 'ip that stairway and turn over two aisles.' I told him I vouldn't do it."

The Boosters and the Inde pendents had three good matches at the Harms alleys, in which the latter won two of the games. The game which the Boosters won was one of the most closely contested games of the season, as the winners had only two pins the best of the losers at the end. The standing of the Independents dropped from the 800 section to the 700 section, but their lead is still large, and they are not worried as to the final standing. The scores last evening were as follows: INDEPENDENTS. Houston 150 i9 Salzman 101 1S7 Roantree 107 147 Aldrich 189 164 Boesen ..101 171 157 149 ISC 141 Total ....831 BOOSTERS.
