두 명의 저격수가 경기를 펼칩니다.

화요일에, 12월 12, 1916, 현지인이 가장 좋아하는, 요한 복음 “네브래스카 타이거맨” 모래 wrestled fellow shooter, Al “네덜란드 사람” 벽난로 선반, 제대로 된 경기에서. Pesek은 최근 동료 네브래스카 레슬링 선수와 함께 훈련을 받았고 이번 경기에 앞서 세계 챔피언인 Joe Stecher로 인정받았습니다..

Pesek은 다른 레슬링 선수들과 함께 총격을 가하는 것으로 악명 높은 명성을 얻었습니다.. 그러나, 페섹은 아직 레슬링을 배우고 있는 22세의 유망주였습니다., when he wrestled Mantell, a 35-year-old veteran. “네덜란드 사람” Mantell trained many future shooters such as Roy Welch.

While Pesek proved a handful for most wrestlers later in his career, Pesek was on his best behavior for Mantell. Instead of a contest, the men worked a match for the fans in Shelton, Nebraska.

Mantell employed anewwrestling style by leaping from one side of the ring to another. Pesek did not respond to these unorthodox tactics and waited for his opportunity.

모래, who weighed two hundred five pounds for the match, outweighed Mantell by only eight pounds. 그러나, Pesek appeared much stronger. When Mantell got close, Pesek took him to the ground.

Mantell tried to escape but Pesek applied leg scissors to Mantell’s waist. After struggling for several minutes, Pesek pinned Mantell at fifteen minutes, twenty-five seconds for the first fall.

The men rested the customary fifteen minutes before returning for the second fall. Pesek looked fresh. Mantell looked discouraged.

The second fall was a repeat of the first fall with Pesek catching Mantell, putting Mantell in the leg scissors around Mantell’s midsection and forcing Mantell to submit at eight minutes, seventeen seconds. Pesek won the match in two straight falls.

Pesek told reporters he still felt fresh. To prove his words, Pesek wrestled an exhibition with his brother Charley after the match with Mantell.

Mantell did his job by helping to build Pesek’s reputation for future matches and help draw bigger crowds. Mantell put Pesek over in two straight falls even though Mantell could beat Pesek in a shoot at the time.

In the late 1910s, wrestlers worried more about making money than proving who was the best shooter. Wrestlers competed in contests behind closed doors in training matches with rare exceptions from this point forward.
