Johnson Unable To Top Canuck In Coast Wrestling Bout

Julius Johnson failed to live up to his reputation as a top middleweight in a Saturday night match at Arcade hall. He barely attacked Barney Hoe, the British Columbia champion, and never pinned him.

An exhibition by Bousie Thomas and Frank Lance ended in a draw, and local attorney George Gregory provided an entertaining announcement segment.
