DECEMBER 12, 1887 (MONDAY) – ATLANTA, GA – CONCORDIA HALL (Promoter – Unknown) > Handicap Match: John Muhler defeated Frank Dougherty (4-0) and Dennis O'Leary (4-0) Notes: Per a stipulation, John Muhler had to defeat both Frank Dougherty and Dennis O’Leary four times in a two hours or forfeit $100. A fall would consist of two shoulders and one hip or two hips and one shoulder. Muhler required 0:40, 0:40, 0:50, and 3:00, respectively, to gain the requisite four falls over Dougherty. Muhler then managed to get the four specified falls from O'Leary at 2:00, 8:00, 4:00, and the other in an undisclosed amount of time, during which O'Leary nearly pinned Muhler before succumbing. As a result, Muhler kept the money he had risked. Dougherty was described as “a Stone Mountain stone-cutter”, who was known as ‘Mr. Hercules’. It was reported that the stage was covered with sawdust to the depth of three inches, over which a tarpaulin was spread. Mr. Hopper managed Muhler. Hinton Wright was credited as being the referee. |
