JIM LONDOS TURNS OUT TO BE TINT AND
 RESTS MANAGOFF|
Greek Champ Is Carried From Ring on Shoulders of His
 Countrymen

Jim Londos, Greek champion wres- tier, defeated Bob Managoff, Ar menian crown holder. in straight falls last night at the B. A. c. before a large and exceedingly enthusiastic au- dence. The match was one of tho best staged in this city in some time and much greater interest was shown among the onlookers. The preliminary bouts were better than usual with only one of them going the limited time.
 The main bout was interesting from beginning to end, with many close calls for both matmen before the fin ish. Londos was easily the favorite with the local fans, who showed their esteem for the grappler by carrying him from the ring on their shoulders after the final fall. The spectators scrap and boosted their man contin- ually.
 The first fall terminated only after Al minutes and 15 seconds of fast and furious grappling, a combination wrist and armlock sending the Armenian's shoulders to the mat The second fall was concluded in IS minutes and 22 seconds, with an arm scissors as the finishing touch for the nights enter. tainment.
 LONDOS' YOUTH TOLD
 Londos' youth and superior strength was easily visible, while his agility and speed played a part in his victory also. Several times he almost suc- ceeded in securing a flying headlock and once or twice did accomplish 1t, but could not use it effectively. His best bet appeared to De double wrist and armlock. which he obtained almost at will during the match.
 Managoff, although a little heavier than his opponent, did not have the en- durance or strength necessary to win with. Several times he seemed to re- sort to questionable tactics, such biting, putting and once or twice he seemed to actually strike Londos with his fist. His rushing tactics and his ability to use the toehold, although he did not have the strength to really hurt Londos, were the only points ia his favor.
 The first fall started off with Man ganoff obtaining several toeholds and scissors, all of which Londos easily withstood After about 10 minutes wrestling, Londos started an offensive of scissors, headlocks and wristlocks. Several times he severely punished his antagonist with these holds and at times almost had the Armenian at the point of giving up.
 FINISH COMES SUDDENLY
 The finish came when Manganoff an- gered I.ondos by apparently biting him on the arm. The Greek immediately began an attack which eventually e1fded in his triumph At times Londos rushed his opponent and secured head locks which almost terminated the fighting.
 The second fall was won by Londos without his ever being in any real dan ger. The finish came in practically the same manner as the previous one, with the victor apparently mad at the methods that Managoff had resorted to. One of the features of the evening was enacted after the bout, when the local Londos advocates, especially his fellow countrymen, escorted him from the mat on their shoulders.
 PRELIMINARIES GOOD \ The preliminary matches were better than ordinary, all of them being fast and scientific. Harold Tinklepaugil, high school champion 115 pounder, en- gagged in his nightly tussel with his brother, Russell, and, as usual, came off the victor. Although the surround
 
 usual, the B. A. c. mat taking the place of their mothers mattress, the boys put up a good fight and Harold won only after g minutes and 55 seconds of good grapiSng. He won with head and arm lock.
 Hendricks of the B. A. c. defeated Goodwin in the 145-pound class in an other fast and exciting bout Several times the victor punished his opponent with headlocks eventually winning with an armlock in g minutes and 30 seconds. Goodwin was apparently the stronger of the two, but did not have the science of the other mat man.
 The final prelim was the best of the bunch, with Lacey and Barton fur nishing the entertainment. The former cutweighed the latter quite a few pounds but was not able to win the decision, The match ending in draw. Lacey weighed 15S pounds. while Bar ton was rated as a 145-pounder. Sev- eral times Lacey almost succeeded in
