Brown-Irslinger To Mix It Friday

Temple Daily Telegram – November 18, 1920

Pet Brown and Henry Irslinger Will Meet Tomorrow at Temple Theatre.

Another victory for Henry Irslinger who will wrestle Pet Brown at Temple Theatre tomorrow night has just been recorded in the former’s easy disposition of Sailor Jack Wood at Wichita Falls Monday.

In view of the fact that Irslinger’s opponent weighed in at 185 lbs., some doubt may exists in the minds of fans as to Pet Brown’s ability to do very much with this bird.

WILL MEET JOE HEINRICH SATURDAY
HENRY IRSLINGER
Middleweight wrestling champion of Europe, who has entered the light heavy class to take on Joe Heinrich of Spokane on Saturday night.

Coming Bout Between Irslinger and Heinrich Promises to Be a Thriller

Positively the best wrestling match staged here since the Busch-Beeman contest several years ago is that scheduled for the circus tent on Saturday night, when Henry Irslinger and Joe Heinrich meet.

There is no gainsaying that these two men are the best in the light heavy class in this country, and on general appearances and past performances there isn’t a pin’s difference between the men.

Bothner Will Not Down

New York Tribune – January 24, 1913

Irslinger Tries Hard, but Loses in Wrestling Match.

Henry Irslinger, of Germany, the middleweight and light heavyweight wrestling champion of Europe, miserably failed to down George Bothner, the American champion, even once, in their encounter at Brown’s Gymnasium last night.  The German agreed to gain three falls on his adversary within an hour, but he found Bothner such a tartar that he was unable to pin the American’s shoulders to the mat.

Irslinger v. Pergantes

The West Australian – November 28, 1928

Claiming that he has greatly improved his condition during his season in Western Australia, Henry Irslinger is confident of his ability to turn the tables on Louis Pergantes – the only man who has beaten him in Australia.  They will wrestle eight ten-minute rounds at His Majesty’s Theatre on Friday night.  Since his arrival in Perth on Friday last, Pergantes, a Greek, has been training systematically.  His numerous matches against all-comers in the Eastern States has worked him into good condition.  He is anxious to prove himself here in order that he might secure a match with his countryman, Kilonis, when the latter visits Perth.

Boganski v. Irslinger

The West Australian – October 17, 1928

The wrestling match between Henry Irslinger, former world’s champion, and George Boganski, the clever Pole, at the Subiaco Oval on Friday night is attracting considerable interest.  The bouts already decided in Perth have left Irslinger and Boganski the outstanding wrestlers, Irslinger for his wonderful ring strategy against Burmister and Alley, and Boganski for his variety, speed and strength.  Both men are training hard for the contest, their tussles with their respective partners indicating their determination to secure the right to contest the world-title match with Eklund in Adelaide at the end of the month.
