Never before has a match been equaled in the city or probably the south. The men, both giants and the perfect specimens of manhood, battled fiercely for over an hour and a half before the end came.
 The trouble followed the breaking of toe hold by zbyszko. Lewis had the Pole in a "close" place and after breaking the hold and jumping to his feet zbyszko knocked Lewis to the floor with mighty right and left blows to the jaw.
 LEWIS WAS STUNNED
 Lewis was stunned for moment He recovered. leaped to his feet and ob- tained the forbidden strangle hold on the Pole. pr. Roller tried in vain to break the hold and then the timers and other officials leaped into the ring and with the combined strength the hold was finally broken.
 But Zbyszko was unconscious. He lay on the mat for several minutes amid scenes of turmoil. The audience was in an uproar and it was all the large force of policemen and deputy sheriffs could do to maintain order.
 pr. Roller finally made an announce ment, stating that both men had com mitted foul and that no decision could be rendered. With the consent of Lewis and his manager, Billy Sandow, Zbyszko was given 10 minutes time to rest, the match then being slated to be renewed.
 ZBYSZKO STILL WEAK
 At the conclusion of the rest period Zbyszko had not fully recovered his strength and the match was declared off.
 The audience was about equally di- vided on how Referee Roller should award the verdict. Some thought that he was making the correct ruling, while others thought the victory should be given to Lewis and visa versa.
 But previous to the fouls which ter minated what promised to be the great est of all wrestling matches, the grap- piers offered some snappy work. The men worked from the start and were continually moving about apparently trying to solve some method of penetrat- ing the defense of their opponent.
