Wrestlers Galore at Marshfield Showdowns and Openings

Marshfield hosts top wrestlers as two leading stars operate from the base. Evan Lewis, the reigning heavyweight champion, recently defeated Yousef the Turk in an exhibition and remains a prime figure in the sport. Lewis and Beell perform exhibitions in Wausau and Medford, with Lewis set to back Beell against Indiana’s Adamson, the middleweight champ. Tonight’s main event pits Yeell against Adamson, weight near Beell, and the bout’s length hinges on Adamson’s stamina. A possible bout between Beell and Jack Carkeek looms, after Carkeek’s stand against Hail Adair for an hour at Milwaukee.
