TURK GOES DOWN
TO DEFEAT; SANTEL
PROVES BETTER MAN
Managoff at Disadvantage
When Prohibited From
Wrestling in Bare Feet
Criticism From Crowd.

Santel again proved himself mas
ter of the game when Thursday night
at the Isis Theatre he Clearly defeat
ed Bob Managoff in two straight falls,
the first SO minutes and the second
coming after 81 minutes of gruelling
wrestling.
1t further again demonstrated that
Santel is not dangerous when on top
but has that rare ability to flash"
from underneath with the usual ca
lamitous results to his opponent. He
went out of his class to beat the Chi
lcago man who outweighed him a good
B. pounds, but It was evident through
out the go that while outweighed, Ad
was the stronger of the two. He beat
the other fellow to everything al
though the Turkish grappler was the
first to go behind" and stayed there
during the major part of the bout
The best that can be said in Mana
goff's behalf is that he has lots of
grit, for after losing the first fall
Through that "Santel double arm scis-
Isors," he came back for the second
session full of fight and did his best
work during the second fall. This is
most unusual undHr such conditions.
CRITICISM UNFAIR
1t was evident that Santers insis-
tence that Bob wear shoes, he having
heretofore done NEST of his wrestling
In bar feet a Ia so many foreign
grapplers, put the challenger at dis,
advantage. Then, too, the fans might
have been a bit fairer in their root
ing. They seemed to approve of all
Santel tactics, but as soon as the
Turk showed any signs of making
things uncomfortable for the other
fellow they would yell dirty rough
stuff and the like. Had the crowd
shown the same sportsmenlike fair
ness that characterized the eminently
satisfactory work of DIR. Harold Ores
ser as referee. some of the faithful
would have left the arena with a little
better taste in their mouths.
TURK WORKS HARD
Managoff started fast, determined
10 beat his man in hurry and the
Iwily Ad played waiting game as
usual. At the end of minutes San
Itel was on top and at sol the con-
RENDER was there. Toe holds perdom-
mated with santel on the receiving
end and when the 90 minute stage
WAS reached both men were on their
feet and at the 20 minute point they
were each locked in vicious arm |
scissors. At the As minute mark, Bob |
was manipulating a toe hold which |
he operated for nearly four minutes |
and then Ad came out.
There were flashes on the part of
the champion throughout the match
and within one minute after Santel
got out of that long toe session both
men rolled, locked in nasty holds and
a minute thereafter were again on
their feet.
At the 80 minute mark Santel per-
formed the Stranger" Lewis feat
and bull logged the Turk to an ex-
tent that would have caused any fell
low with bit of yellow to say
Uncle" After the so minute mark
Ad began his past master tactics,
leading up to that double arm scis-
sors and after Sc minutes of lots of
stuff the Turk was forced to concede
the fall.
When they went at it again the
Turk was the first to go behind and
he fought like a demon but to no
avail. The men exchanged places
continually and after about 81 min
utes of all kinds of grips and holds.
the Santel cure for toughness was
again applied with the result already
told. After five minutes of wrestling
Dresser pulled Bob's legs off Ads
neck claiming strangle From
where we sat it did not look foul, but
the referee was on top of the men
who We're on the other side of the mat
and doubtless knew what he was do

minutes over Chester Camp, although
