CUBAN WONDER TOO
MUCH FOR M'AULEY
BouIdin Wins Two Falls From
Local Wrestler in Thirty.
nine Minutes.

Jim McAuley, crack heavyweight
wrestler of the Amateur Athletic asso-
citation made a hard fight in his match
with Clarence Bouldin, the Cuban Won
der, at Mozart hall last night, but the
boy with the yellow skin proved the bet
ter man, and though he lost the first fall
to McCauley in SO minutes of the hard
est wrestling ever witnessed in St Paul,
he landed the second fall in 10 minutes
and the winning touchdown in an even
20 minutes.
The bouts between the local wrestler
and the Cuban were by far the best ever
witnessed in st. Paul. The two men We're
overly matched and until McAuley land
ed the first fall the enthusiastic crowd
felt convinced that they were sitting IN
on a midnight session. From the call of
time the Wrestlers were at it with
speed that would have put an ill-condi-
toned man out of commission In short
order.
McAuley at the opening assumed the
aggressive and was after Bouldin for the
first fifteen minutes. Then the Wonder
for the first time went behind the local
man and gave him all he could attend to
for a straight ten minutes. The major
portion of the time the two men were on
their feet Now and then either Nc
AuIey OF Bouldin would be forced to the
mat, but the tiresome feeling for holds
was missing and it was work all the
time.
McAuley got his chance when the half
hour was called off. For five minutes he
pursued the Cuban around the mat now
going to the floor and then being lifted
to his feet, but at last in falling behind
he secured a strong hammer lock and be-
gan to work for the fall. The Wonder
worked just as hard to prevent 1t, but
McAuley after several efforts secured a
half-nelson and crotch hold and the fin
ish of the first bout pulled in sight for
the Cuban. Bouldin made a game effort,
but could not hold out and at the end
of the thirty eighth minute Referee
Whitmore slapped the local man on the
back for the first fall.
In the second bout McAuley came up
with a confident look and the Cuban
looking for trouble. Bouldin no longer
appeared convinced that the win was an
easy one and cut out all fancy slaps and
lunges. He was determined to pull even
with the local man and made good.
McAuley started again on the offensive
and was behind the Cuban almost con-
tinually for the first fifteen minutes, but
then he made a fatal mistake, and before
he knew it Bouldin had moved behind
and had the local man wrapped up in a
full nelson that McAuley could not break.
Slowly but surely the Cuban pushed and
mat. The local man used every ounce of
strength, but could not save himself, and
went down with both shoulders on the
nineteenth minute
The third and winning bout for the
Cuban was a repetition of the second.
This time the two men came up deter
mined to secure the fall, and for fifteen
minutes the stage was full of arms and
legs flying through the air. Not min
ute was wasted FIRST the Cuban and
then McAuley was on the offensive, and
several times the local man lifted Bouldin
and threw him over his head But the
Cuban was like a cat, and landing on his
feet hurried back for more. McAuley
looked the winner of the deciding bout up
to the eighteenth minute, when in a fierce
ute was wasted FIRST the Cuban and
started the wind-up. First McAuley was
caught in a full nelson ard started for
the mat. but when the Cuban was almost
positive he had secured the fall the local
man broke away. He was too far gone.
however, to escape, and Bouldin, with a
quick move, caught him again, and secur-
ing a half-nelson resumed the work that
the breakaway had interrupted. McAuley
held out as long as possible, but the hold
was a winning one, and the local man's
shoulders went to the mat as the spec
tators We're reaching for their coats
