The last few minutes OF the mAtchS

r.wis, then Londos, would get what
~ould look like winning hold. Before

~h.t was happening Lewis like fash

r,ashing him to the floor and still re-

: in the semi-fn match Sergeant Earl
f.ddock, formerly of the United States
srmy. defeated Adjutant Salvatore
rheyalier, of France, with q head scis-
sors and arm lock. A crowd of more
than 10000 stayed in the Garden until
1 few minutes before o'clock. when
lewis gained his hard-earued victory
ever Londos.
The first really effective hold Of the
Iondos-Lewis match came after about
torty-fve minutes of spectacular work
The men were on their feet at the
time when the STRANGER" suddenly
iymped in the air and got his right
xm about the Greeks head. locked
she fingers Of both hands and applied
the pressure mercilessly.
By sheer weight Lewis bore his man
,owly to the foor. and there held him
in . vise-like grip for two minutes,
Londos finally broke away. At this
Interesting stage Of the proceedings

the Civil War was q frame up" raised
up his squeak near the press seats:

dozen times before Caddock finally
gained the victory he had Chevalier in
tight places, the head or body scissors
being his favorite hold. The French
nan was strong, and he was game to
the last ounce. But, unused to the
sch-as-catch- style, he was at a
serious disadvantage. Six months of
nat work with our best men should
rake him dangerous In any company.
The toughest bout ever seen in the
rheumatic old garden started into &C
ton when Monsieur Raymond Cazeaux,
OF France, and Ivan Linow, the horrible
Cossack. came TO grips. 1t was origi-
before the fifteen minute time limit
had expired the crowd had "sat in" at
a rieange Of all sports.
". CazeauX won on roughness, on
the point system, but Linow knew q
bit more wrestling than his rival land
that's not pinning medals on either
Punching, kicking. chewing, gouging
and hair pulling were demonstrated by
Raymond and Ivan. but nobody gained
fall 1t was peace without victory"
Caddock and Chevalier entered the
ring about an hou rafter scheduled
tmeand were ct their work without
delay. George oBthner was the referee
and conditions called for finish match
In one fall
From the start the meen looked
evenly matched. The French war hero
had some twenty pounds the better of
the weights and was far stronger. but
he did not know half as much about
the game as the slim boy from Iowa.
During the first forty-fve minutes of
the bout Caddock tried half dozen body
scissors on his opponent. He had little
trouble in applying the holds, but Chew
asler's great strength enabled him to
break out of danger.
Both men showed their thorough
craftsmanship throughout Several
times they wrestled off the mat in furi-
GUS mix-ups, but each time they re-
turned to the center at the order Of
'he referee, shook hands and grsppled
again. 1t was fast, clean wrestling.
Chevaier's work was remarkable
when it is remembered that this WAS
only his second match at catchas
'eateh-can, all his other bouts having
peen al Graeco- Roman style.
Caddock was as quick as a Ca. all
the time and often took the Frenchman
hty surprise. Chevalier was frequently
IN danger because of this, and only his
strength saved him from being pinned.
