J.C. Comstock was coming off an impressive victory over Jack Carkeek, the Cornish Wrestling Champion from Michigan. Based on this victory, many sporting men thought Comstock could beat “کسان” Burns. Comstock, a true heavyweight, would have a significant size and strength advantage over Burns.

Comstock pressed Burns but couldn’t maintain a hold on the smaller Burns. کے بعد 19 منٹ, Comstock was finally able to get a hold on Burns and throw him. With a strong effort, Comstock pressed “the Farmer’s” shoulders to the mat for the first fall. It would be the only highlight for Comstock.
