3 The Latest Loca Ernie Sunberg Wins Title From Edmunds In Thirteen Minutes Wielding the hammer and plying the saw will likely become a bygone pus-time with Krnie Sunberg within a short time. La-sl night at the Walker theatre the popular little carpenter-wrestler, the priile of Winnipeg wrestling funs and one of the ch anest boys that ever stepped on a mat, won the most Important bout of his career when ho took the feathi rweight title away from Artie Edmunds of Toronto, In straight fails. And this, too, in despite the faet that Kdmnnds brought into play every low and mean trirk of the Kame. mclud.ug gouging, for whieh he was roundly hissed. It was easy to fie thta the iorts of this elty want to witness clean wrestling, and the brutal aggressiveness of Kdmnnds did not win him any friends.

The triumph of Sunberg was the most popular recorded in this rity since the mat game came into its own. The hundreds of Sunberg partisans could not contain themselves and the cheers for the local boy were tremendous. On the stage Sunberg was lilted high and tossed in the air several times. Mis fellow countrymen simply went Into ecstai ies, and it would he utterly impossible to describe their feelings towards the victor. For Kdmnnds them wua not the applause that is usually showered upon the vanquished In Winnipeg.

The sympathies of the crowd went to Sunberg when Kdmnnds went alter him like a wild man in the (list two or three minutes. Sunberg was rushed off the mat, forced against the ropes and buffeted about In a manner that he never experienced before. Fnder the Police Gazette rules Edmunds' work was prefei tiy legitimate, out the crowd did not like his style. EXPENDED HIS STRENGTH. The faet that Kdmnnds was such nn nggreasor resulted in his own downfall, as he spent his strength in the lirst few minutes, and was then easy prey for Sunberg.

Instead of taking off weight since coming to Winnipeg. Kdmunds put It on, and though he claimed that lie would have no difficulty in making 1L'4 pounds at 3 o'clock In the after noon, he had an awlul Jon gelling in that figure, and as a consequence he weakened early, particularly as he set sui'h a gruelling pace. When Kdmunds Sunberg It appeared as If he wanted to take the heart out of the local man. and it was easy to see that the latter has let lien accustomed to such roiigbl atcl brutal tactics, but Instead of gaining his end, Kdmunds defeated him elf. Once the Toronto gruppler made a rush at Sunberg and the latter stepped nslde like lightning.

In doing so Sunberg twisted Kdmunds in some manner and tossed him away like a Hauling firebrand. Kdtniiiiils went down on the hard Hour with In for. e. but that did not take all the gltm.r out of him, as he was up like a flash and 1'dlowed up his Seeing what Kind of a man he was pitted against. Sunberg was content to avoid bun as much as possible until Kdnoinds' strength began to wane, when the local boy he, iinie the agu-n s-or and commenced his step to the i tmpioiishlp, SUNLEIP; O.N" OFFENSIVE.

The actual amount of wrestling was just thirteen minutes. After Kdmunds commenced to lose f.ower Sui.U'ig went on the offensive and to worry his opponent with a crot. hold. Sunberg stood Kdmnnds on his I head and with the crot, hold be secured an arm lock. So wai this executed that Edmunds' shoulders were niuncd, the fall coming In eight minutes.

When the contestants took th" mat after ten minutes' respite Kdmunds did not go after hts man like a tiger, but busied himself with follow ig Sun-berg's style. They bad Hot stood shoulder to slculiler f'-r than a second or two when tlley both welt down and Sunot rg e-ui" up on top The struggle then was of delation, Sunberg slipping on iiic'lur rri'lc hold and having his poneut at a disadvantage at ad it.igc. pen lie had twisted h.in around I. moment or Sunt rg iotsi.I ir ice other arm lock, but L.ltnun.N cot out of this dangi roos position illi won-rterful agility.

"GUS" CONFIDENT HE WILL BEAT SHEPHERD Big Fellows Go On the Mat at Walker Tonight With Middleweight Championship of Canada the Stake. The big wrestling match at the" Walker theatre tonight should prove one of the best additional attractions of the bonspiel for the many curlers.

In Dick Shepherd and Charlie Gun-tafson enthusiasts of the strenuous game will see two of the finest exponents In America. C.ustafson holds the middleweight championship of Canada and he Is prepared to make a titanic struggle before he yields it. Shepherd will be seven or eight pounds lighter than the "Shifty which brings him into the welterweight class, the title of which he has been in hailing distance of for some time. The Pipestone man has only one defeat charged against him, that being credited to Walter Miller of St. Paul, champion of the welters.

Shepherd is a stranger in Winnipeg, but that he has made a host of friends was demonstrated lust night when he was given a rousing reception at being Introduced. EACH LOOKS FOR VICTORY. Gustafson Is confident that he will retain title that he won by beating Le Page, and is looking forward to i nothing but victory. shepherd has I yet to make his murk in this city, but the unlet manner hi which he proceeds In his training, combined with the fact that he modestly says he hopes to carry back the middleweight championship of Canada to Pipestone, impresses one very much.

It should be a rattling fast match, of the scientific and whirlwind variety. Resides two such fine wrestlers for the main event, the preliminary programme should prove very attractive. Hilly Richmond and Geo. Dorey will go on for four rounds, and it should be a hummer. Following this the star men of last night's boxing programme, Geo.

and Billy N'utt, will go on for five rounds. Those who witnessed these men in action will certainly want to see them mix It again. The third preliminary will be between Frank Carroll, of Toronto, winner of the lightweight title at the Dominion championships In and Chas. Michaels.

Langford, at first surprised. then vicious and finally routed, fought back with the animal-like ferocity of his jungle nature. As early as the second round langford had swung both his right and left on the Jaw without bo much as slowing the fireman up, and this fact appeared to discourage the negro, lioili men fought a foul buttle, butting with their heads, continually. A deep cut was opened over Lnngford's right eye In the second round.

It bled continually until the Mulsh of the contest, Langford's face and chest being covered with the red fluid. At the finish of two of the rounds, the soventh and ninth, Langford was pinned back against tbc ropes In his own corner with Flynn hammering iway at the face uod body. In each nstaucc the black had both arniti about lyiin's neck, holding on tightly while his knees were bending beneath him. The entire ten rounds were fought nt a heart-breaking pace and with never a knockdown being scored. 1 angt'ord's best, truest and most te.villc blows failed to topple Flynn over.

Flynn never ti led for any of the I hr range stuff, but alwavs waited until his head rested on Langford's shoulders or chest, when he would track the negro, pummelling him until the ropes were reached.
