Billy Empke Wins Popular Deci-
sion Over Steve Hopkins
in l0LRound Battle

Jess Wcstegaard. nationally known
wrestling phenom. fought gamely Inc
~ernftiiy against Marin Plestina last
night but all his craft was ~unavaling
for the giant power of the Chicago
boy resulted in westegaard's should
ers being pinned TO the mat in 2s
minutes after he had slipped into a
double wrist lock.
Westegaard exercised every hold
which he knew and despite his own
tremendous power he was unable to
do anything with Plestina. the Chi
cago wrestler being able to break with
ease anything he had. Plestina had
wcstegaard in jeopardy at intervals Of
a few minutes all during the match.
but failed to pin him until nearly half
an hour had elapsed.
Westegaard arose from the mat a
bit dazed after Referee Mike McNulty
had patted Plestina on the shoulders.
Soldier Billy Emke won a popular
decision over Steve Hopkins at the
conclusion of n 1O-round bout last
night. when .he colored boy was tot
tering at the final bell. The fight wns
one OF the best that has been staged
hero and was replete with terrific
Exchanges Of punches. Emke had
everything and landed terrific jolts
but only once during the fight did he
score n complete knockdown on the
Minnesota boy. The latter then
bounded to his feet so rapidly that
Referee Frankie Fay had no chance
to start counting. Emke's lead all
the way however entitled him to the
decision.
