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. Hoe dominated with defense and tireless activity while Johnson tired early, the main bout ending with Hoe in control for most of the match. An exhibition by Bousie Thomas and Frank Lance ended in a draw, and local attorney George Gregory provided an entertaining announcement segment. Henri St. Yoyen the marathoner also drew applause with a brief speech.
