BY Louis Lee Arms

Slia Heyonpaa, Of F.1land, met his
.i.t!e playmate, Henry Vogel, the Ten
peramental Bayar.an, in a finish match
last night at the Lexington Theatre.
II is almost supererogation TO say it
vas the star match o. the evening.
Il will be remembered that these two
;yrestlers met back in Chapter II o.
the current wrestling serial on that
momentou5 occasion tho match was
brought 20 a sudden and unexpected
end when Sula butted Henry on bis
tower Of thought. They DO not DO such
things in Bavaria Henry sank 70 the
mat with a hollow groan, ard the match
was over.
Since then Henry has been recon
s.ructing his dome and laying for
return engagement with Sula. Lsst
night the condition Of his head wa
much harder and /. was not difficult for
Us to believe the rumor that he had
driven ten-penny nails into Il 20 pre
sent a tougher bytting surface.
Angles for Opening
At any rate Sula angled for an open
ing and then hurled his head fairly
and squarely at Henry-who was called
Cal in the last match. Henry or Car
never fiuched. Henry or Carl met the
oncoming Sulan head with dignity and
poise. not 20 mention force. and this
time IL was good old Sula who drew
back and holl red coats"
As we have pointed out before
through these columns Oats -
Finnish for "Heaven help u.s. or some
thing like that. Finnish Is a simple
language when you get the hang OF y.
This contretemps OF Henry's took
away one OF Sula's best holds and
after that ne was reduced 70 his Fin
n;sh verbs and the few wrestling holds
that the noble Finn had picked up here
and there. To complicate matters I'D
"stranglerr Lewis was again IN the
wings waving a bath robe ~ Sula a.
though he were toreador or mata-
dor and good old Sula was a Sonora
bull. This 50 annoyed oul loquatlOus
friend that In the middle Of the match
ne left the mat and chased Lewis
around the stage while Henry waited
and rubbed the ten-penny nail in his
head thoughtfully.
The match ended after IL minutes
and 80 seconds OF argument, Sula an
nexing a full Nelson and body scis
sors. II was difficult 20 tell which OF
the two was the more surprised AZ the
result. II It wasn't for Henry or Carl,
old Sula would have a tough time get
ting on the winning side OF match.
Incidentally Tommy Braak, OF Hol-
land, sat at the press tables, his LETT
ear swathed in bandages. Moreover,
Tommy's friends want 20 bet that IN,
match with Lewis was on the up and
up. Well, there are 4S2 Sweeneys IN
the telephone book.
Pilakoff Victim
DR.. Roller won his usual clever ylc-
tory last night, tossing Demetrius Pila-
koff in 81 minutes and l3 seconds with
a scissors and body hold. Pilakof IS
the gentleman who lifts steel girders,
steam pianos and wire cables IN his
off hours. but he was all out Of luck
when ne tried 70 hoist the good doctor.
"Strangler" Lewis wrestled George
Manich, the Serbian. Joe Humphries
announced that at the request OF the
management "Mr Lewis will refrain
from using his celebrated deadlock"
To celebrate this celebrated fact he
tossed George in five minutes and
thirty-nine seconds with crotch and
arm hold.
Yusif Hussane, the Balkan Bone
Crusher. tossed Charles Pospishill or
his stream!ine body in eleven minutes
and forty-two seconds, using a per
suasive half nelson and crotch hold
Henry Fuerst tipped over Hans Assam
in thirteen minutes and fifty seconds
with a combination deadlock and scis
sors.
Joe Humphries announced that Rip
