OUT WRESED WILDE
"STRANGLER" LEWIS WON
FROM DIR. ROLLER WITH
HIS FLYING HEAD-LOCK

! The fact that wisdom and science
are of utmost importance was mani
tested by DIR. Roller who, by all
tokens, should have won the match,
for he had Lewis all but over time
and again, and only the ropes saved
the Stranger. Perhaps, because he
had developed Lewis when he was
raw and unaccomplished the doc
tor took some liberty with the
Strangers phiz, and the fans saw
him frequently cover the opponents
face with his hand and he seemed
to be twitching the Strangers nose.
He did not like it, and shaking his
massive head on its thick neck he
appealed several times to Referee
Max Bauman, whose handling of the
bout is to be commended. The lib
erty appeared to enrage Lewis final
ly and he started in to make n quick
finish, which he certainly accom-
plished. Lewis was all set evident
ly as he rushed from his corner and
the doctors doom was sealed the
second that Lewis got him with his
famous flying deadlock. There was
no escape this time and the doctor,
after terrible seconds of torture
slowly suCcumbed, being almost un-
conscious when the Stranger arose
from the mat of victory. II never

a battle" was Lewis's remark as his
old teacher was supported to his
dressing room.
Jingle bells, the merry-making
swat fest preceded the preliminary
bout and put every one in good hu-
NOR. Then Ernest Lehman. the most
likely local wrestler of light weight,
warm welcome. He embraced Al.
Giant, of Milton, who had sent word
to the management that his price
was SS q night and that he pays his
own expenses. AL, has pretty fair
estimation of himself, the fans con-
cluded when Lehmer twice floored
the Milton aspirant, first with head,
scissors and full body lock and sec
ondly with n full body, scissors and
arm.
The forty-five minute period had
passed when the Stranger decided it
was time to get busy. An intermis-
sion of ten minutes was announced
and so rapidly did DIR. Roller recover
that he offered to return and wres-
tie another bout, but the fans voted
as one that they had had their
moneys worth so the one bout saw
the end of the most exciting wrest-
ling tourney ever staged here.

The main event tonight is be-
tween Joe Borrell, the European
middleweight champion, and Her.
man Miller, the southern champion,
and no gamer, aggressive, harder
hitting middleweights have ever met
in this section than these two maui
ers who have met the best in the
world with success.
Borrell has toured this country
and Europe without tasting the
pangs of defeat, among his oppo-
nents being three world champions,
Al Mccoy, George Chip. Harry Lew

rell beat in Paris in eight rounds for
the title Borrell now carries
A look at the sporting annual will
show Borrells record unsurpassed

being only % years old, but he has
been fighting since he was 16 years
old, and has met them all, including
Tommy Gibbons, Jack McCarron,

prime. Jackie Clarke. Johnny Gill,

Would Have League
of Nations Make Its
Home at Atlantic CITY

Trenton, n. j.. April 2.-Atlantic
City as a permanent home for the
proposed League of Nations was
suggested in a bill introduced in the
assembly by Assemblyman Cochran
of that resort. The measure, which
was allowed presented by unanimous
consent because the time for intro
ducing new bills has passed, would
enable Atlantic City by a bond issue
to acquire property on which to erect
suitable buildings to house officers,
attaches and the entire organization
incident to the work of the league.
Mr.. Cochran also presented a resolu-
ton which contemplates the accept
ance by the state of the proposed
site for the league and provides that
the state shall welcome to it's borders

which may grow out of the Paris
Peace Conference.

DR.. +. &. Roller, an eminent ply

put clean and strategic wrestling
back on American mats last night
than perhaps he realized. This IN

word. And although the full strangle
