rubber" set to, occasionally bit OF
unnecessary rough stuff cropped out
| but Referee Starr quickly called a
halt to this business. Marshall pull
ed several grand stand" stunts for
the benefit and amusement of the
| spectators and once accused Borclla
Of being dirty. This was for effect,
| however, there never once being q
sign of under hand work on Borella S
| Fart.
Due credit must be given Marshall.
He IS an exceptionally clever wrestler
and master of more clever grips than
any athlete who has entertained in
| this section. But his knowledge
should be used on someone mogc
nearly his equal
After Is minutes of hard fast work
the Newport champ pinned Marshall's
shoulders Squarely 10 the mat with
4 head scissors and wrist lock.
Marshall started the aggressive
work in the second session by sccur-
ing hammer lock, but he lost it
shortly when Borclla slipped a head
scissors on him.
The fall finally went TO Marshall
who introduced an Innovation, the
"cradlc hold", something that was not
only entirely new but "Grcek" to all
the fans. The fall came after seven
minutes
The final round was the fastest and
was more in Borella's favor The
match was halted while Referee Star
attempted to take some tackS out of
Marshalls shoe which had become
looScncd The shoe was in such bad
shape that Marshall was told he could
not wear them so he Immediately d.
We ,cd himself of footwear and fin
iahcd the contest in his stocking feet.
After 30 minutes Marshall threw the
Newpol ter with head scissors.
The preliminalics consisted Of
two wrestling matches between stu
dents of the Vocational school and
two boxing matches with local men
az participants.
The prelim program was opened
with wrea Ting tusSle between
Mcnamara and McCrillas. The la
ter, although posses sed of far supc-
lior strength and out weighing his
opponent by several pounds, lost The
fail in four minutes when Mcnamara
clamped pretty head lock and body
scissors on him. The winning
youngster showed some very clever
work
The second period, although not
fought to finish, was in Mcnamara
favor. He once secured a bad head
lock on McCrillas but because he was
to the center. Mccillas in turn at
tempted a crotch split hold On his OPP
ponent but was forced to break for
the center when the two boys got
near the edge After the second seS-
sion had gone 8 1-2 minutes the lc-
fierce called it off because of McCril-
las winded condition.
Myron Barber clearly outshone
Young Emmons in their ego and
scored both falls, the first in 3 min
utcS with a head scissors and toe
hold end the second in and IL min
ute with II pinfall. Barber put up
fine exhibition for youngster and
would have finished up matters soon
CT had he net been handicapped by
lack of weight.
Charles Curtis outpointcd Percy
Marks in their boxing match which
went three rounds Cunts showed his
usual fine defense which forestalled
many serious blows that started his
way. The first two rounds were in
Curtis favor but the final one wa
fifty-ffty affair Marks showed a
wicked left and when it landed it had
a telling effect but it seldom landed.
"Kid" Bozo Lasted less than half
round with Ed. Bates. The latter
landed 4 terrific smash to the jaw Of
Bozy and he went to the mat. He
recovered himself, however, but was
in no condition to fight further. He
claimed a bad writ, caused bv playing
basket bull, and told the referee he
could not go further with the match.
