By MARVIN MCCARTHY

 Occasional bits of roughness upon the person of "Strangler'' Lewis by Jack Pauliska enlivened the wrestling bout be- tween the two at the B. A. c. last night, which Lewis won, of course, in two com paratively short falls.
 Lewis brought into action his famous headlock, dread hold which has been dis cussed, condemned, praised and ignored from one end of the country to the other. After shortly over 35 minutes of wrestling Eddie clamped this gr.p, but Pauliska squirmed out, only to have his neck fallen upon again, this time .!l more serious fashion. Seizing Pauliska' s ample neck in his arms, Lewis slung his foe to the mat, and Bscoe Scales, who refereed the match last night, ruled Pau liska out for the first fall.
 ROUGH WORK
 Shortly after the match began, Pau liska brought howls of glee from the fans by picking Lewis up bodily and hurl- ing him to the mat. Eddie was, per haps, the most surprised man in the house, and there was a house full ot astonished gentlemen when this Pau liska person performed this feat of eX- traordinary strength. This one time was not enough for Pauliska, for later on when Lewis attempted a headlock, Jack grabbed him none too gently and onct more slammed him to the floor, this time through the ropes. Eddie came up apparently sore in more ways than one From then on he went about his task ol pinning Pauliska shoulders flat in grim fashion and it was not long until the { big Hungarian was prostrate on the mat with Biscoe Scales batting Lewis on the shoulder.
 It took Lewis even less time to throw Pauliska the second time than the first Shortly after five minutes had passed ne worked Pauliska into combination arm and body hold, forcing the broad shoul' ders of the foreigner to the mat, anc the evenings entertainment was over 1 Lewis at all times demonstrated his | superiority over his opponent. On only two or three occasions did Pauliska have hold on Lewis that even looked dan gerous. Pauliska seemed to be workins | for armholds a majority of the time, al ! though he did secure toehold on Lewis and to the uninitiated things looked oat for the champion. The old-timers, though knew that Eddie is too willy to let hlm self be worked into a dangerous position ! by second-rater.
 | Pauliska showed lots of willingness ane a certain degree of ability. He seemed l to be every bit as good man as Lewis but he lacked the weight-Eddie weikhec ] ling to weights announced at ringside- and experience.
