Smiles Wins Trophy
BY winning two falls out of three
from Tom Lacey last night, Homer
Smiles is in possession of hand
some silver loving cup, presented by
the B. A. C. Engraved on this trophy
Is this: Southern middleweight ANA
teur wrestling championship and
that's the title Homer now bears,
after his win in the gruelling bat
tie with Lacey last night.
The Lacey-Smiles boutf went
through 20 rounds before Smiles was
able to pin Lacey flat for the de-
cisive fall.
Smiles scored the first fall, pinning
Lacey with a body scissors and arm
lock in the seventh round. Lacey
was locked tight and couldn't es-
cape before Smiles pinned his shoul-
ders down.
Lacey Evens Bout
The bout rocked along until the
eleventh round, when Lacey clamped
an unbreakable head scissors on to
Smiles. and Homer's shoulders went
flat, after he had taken quite a
bit of punishment.
From the eleventh session to the
twenty-thlrd, the match was give
and take, with first one mailman and
then the other clamping on punish
ment holds The crowd was kept
in a continuous uproar Of excite
ment as the two young grapplers
grimly battled for their champion
ship.
In the twenty-third round Smiles
started like a whirlwind and nego-
tiated an arm throw Immediately
after the session opened. Lacey stag
gered to his feet, bit groggy from
the fall and pain of the hold
AS Lacey sailed in. adopting an
"offensive- defensive" policy, Smiles
secured another arm throw, and pin
ned his dazed foe flat before he
could recover from the shock. And
thus ended one of the most Cruel
ling and sensational wrestling
matches ever staged at the b. A. G.
The bout was replete with thrills
from start to finish. At one time
fist fight was only averted by speedy
interference by officials and an of
ficer or two. Smiles applied a
strangle hold, as he afterwards ad-
mitted. and Lacey, when free, struck
his opponent blow with his fist.
The row was stopped, the quarrel
patched, and the bout was continued.
Sparkplug Jack Jacques won sem
sational four-round victory over Red
Burke Of the army. AS the fourth
round was drawing to close, Spark
plug landed a straight right to the
chin that sent Burke down for the
count of nine. Burke was, game,
however, and staggered to his feet as
the final gong sounded. Sparkplug
is a Boys club battler.
