BROWN OF OLD WAS ON THE MAT
Pet Secured Two Falls From Yokel of Utah After Very Claver
Exhibition of Wrestling for Gulf Coast Qub.
mighty good man to down
It was tb Pet Brown of old that so-
nured two falls from Mike Yokel on
Friday night the first In 1:44H. the sec-
ond in I ! minutes: both with a com-
bination - head chancery hammer and
crotch hold.
The crowd was one of the smallest
which has ever attended a Gulf Coast
club affair and the reason was the weath-
er. The real wrestlinj fans came but
those who come only for the entertain-
ment of the evening stayed at home by
the gas stove.
The match was fast from the time the
men entered the ring -nd there was some-
thing doing all the w hile. Both men were
trained to the minute and anxious to
make quick work of it. though there was
also a studious exhibit of caution which
prevented any accidental falls. grown
weighed about 163 nrl Yokel was prob-
ably a roupre of pounds heavier; no
wcjghts were announced and both men
declared they had not weighed before en-
tering the ring.
The man fiom Vta'i Is clever and he
showed it throughout l " match. He was
iti trouble half a score of times and wrig-
gled out in a manner that called forth
applause for his cflmts. At one time he
withstood a headlock t1' it Urked good for
a fall and for more than two minutes he
struggled in n fashion thai indicated his
great capacity .for punishment.
Time and again he tried for a headlock.
though in former times his favorite has
been for the legs lie appeared to have
been reading the life of Strangler Lewis
and to have made prat lice of tne famous
hold which has btougiit Lewis to the top
notch..
All credit is due Yokel for a same ex-
hibition of strength and skill and Blown
had to be
th vtHltnr
Brown was greeted with applause when
he entered the ring and throughout th
match there was much evidence of a
friendly feeling for the Taylor boy; a dis-
position to show hire trat he has not lost
the esteem of the Houston contingent.
Brown was behind Tokel throughout
most of the match and by his methods
showed 'that he was intent upon doing
lust a brilliant work as it was possible
for him to do and thst for Brown is a
great possibility. He showed the effect
of careful training and was alert and
spry from the Bret minute: never howed
any trouble during the match as to hi
wind and was altogether the wrestler who
has in the past proved hts mettle against
some scores of good men.
Brown entered th rlna with th idea
of using the combination of hold which
h finally succeeded in securing. Ha
worked carefully for them though not
neglecting chances for other hold yokel
had him In a tight place two or three
times but It was plain to pe seen that
Brown was using his strength conserv-
atively and as he came out of the trouble
he had something to show 'his opponent In
the way of quickness lor1 on each occa-
sion he secured a hold which put Yokel
on the defensive.
Urown gets away early this morning
for Kerens where he lias a big grading
contract. With his wife he has spent
several pleasant days In Houston snd
has received hundred of assurances from
his friends here that they wish him well
and that they feel he has "come back"
Into hi old form.
The Gulf Coast club has not announced
the next match but Dr. Norton has reH
ceived a letter from a Greek who wants
to bet Sao that he can meet and defeat
Brown. .Yokel and Kkltind on the same
evening. All three of them mind you
not Just any one of them.
