Two Of the six battle cruisers are to

SPHEERIS WINS
OVER MAMAS
IN MAT MATCH

A flying toe hold with a body hold
was responsible for the downfall OF
Harry MamaS of Boston, in the third
and deciding fall of his match with
Curley Speerhis of this city Friday
evening at City hall. Spheeris won
the first fall in 26 minutes with a
toe hold, and Mamas got the sec
ond with another hold in 10
minutes. After milling on the mat
for II MINUTES, 80 seconds, Curley
got the hold that decided the match.
In preliminary match, Young
Palazzi of Portland won his match
with Kid Dion Of Lewiston. PalaZzi
took the first fall with double arm
lock in II minutes, 20 seconds. Dion
won the second fall with Frank
utes and Palazzi took the last and
deciding fall in 10 minutes with an
arm-lock and body hold.
Kid Taylor of Waterville won in
two straight falls from George Tag
gas of Boston, who substituted for
Ernest Balloon of Gardiner, who is
sick.
The main bout was fast and spec
tacular. The weights of the contcs-
tants as announced were, Mamas,
$50 pounds and Spheeris, 165. Spheer-
is was somewhat handicapped by
the excessive weight of his opponent,
but after much hard work on his
part, he was able to get his first fall.
Mamas did not appear to take great
pleasure in this and he was "kidded"
by the crowd. which didn't improve
his temper. He got the toe-hold for
the second fall. and had Speerhis
tied up in such a manner that he
could not move to eXtricate himself
The third fall came very quickly aft
er about II IL minutes of wrestling
Spheeris got a body hold and flying
toe hold in such manner that
Mamas was forced to give up in
about half minute, not having a
chance to get away.
This match was we'll liked by those
present and it was noticed that few
ladies We're there to watch the sport.
They seemed to like it as we'll as the
men.
Before the Taylor Taggas match,
a 10-minute exhibition of wrestling
and four rounds of boxing was per-
formed by the Dion brothers of Lew
iston. These boys. each seven or
eight years old, showed a remarkable
knowledge of both sports and were
warmly applauded by the spectators,
who also expressed their apprecia-
ton ~ throwing small change to
