Lewis, of Shelby vllle, and Rans Pulliam, of Indianapolis. Pul liam, the local man, was taken on first In a handicap match, by the terms of which Billeter was to win a fall in fifteen minutes or forfeit 125. Pulllara was in poor condition, but nevertheless put up a stubborn fight for five minutes. Billeter won the fall in that time by twisting out of a leg lock and orclng Pulliam to bridge. The rest was easy for the Toledo man.

W. J. Lewis, of Shelbyvllle, was almost as easy for the champion. Lewis some time ago stayed forty minute with Billeter at Shelbyvllle, but the champion claimed that he had an Injured finger and could not do his best work. Lewis expected to win last night's match, and consequently was on the aggressive part of the time.

i Billeter. Has Great Strength. Billeter was as strong as a bull, however, and had little trouble in throwing his man, obtaining the first fall In seven minutes and the second In three. By the terms he was to win two out of three falls. "Here" Clark, the local wrestler and star football player, refereed both matches.

Freddie Cole and Fred Laffen acted as time keepers. Billeter and his manager are now going on a tour which will take them to the Pacific coast. On their return in a few months, they will in all probability stop In Indianapolis for a time and arrange matches with Pulliam and Billy Schober, both of whom are anxious to be tried out when In Condition. hen in tone F.
