make Draak quit roughing Binckley's S face, but the big wrestler wouldn t stop, and when Seals grabbed his wrist to stop the rough stuff, the deputy sheriff sprang into the ring, and the crowd, thoroughly enjoying the affair. immediately followed suit.
 DraRk Leaves Ring
 Draak arose from the mat, shook ot the hands of those nearest him, and made for his dressing room. It was at that stage of the affair that someone started after Draak with a dumbeil. The Belgian explained later that the thought it was a gun and asserted that he didn't care enough about the match to run the risk of being "shot to death or hit over the head by some crazy fool"
 That was the end of the affair, and the wrestling bout which had started out in such promising fashion was awarded to BinclSley by default
 Draak is wonderful wrestler. but last night he lost his temper. and. with it, the match.
 Both Draak and Binckley were go- ing at great clip when the break came. The fans saw almost 40 min utes of excellent wrestling and Is more of real excitement
 Lacey TbrOWs Taylor
 The semi final bout, between Tom Lacey and Parker Taylor. was a fine wrestling exhibition itself, Taylor showed lots of skill as wrestler, but when Lacey secured a toe hold on him. he was forced to concede the match.
 Taylor is slightly the heavier of the two boys and he seemed to know as much about the game as Lacey. The latter secured an unbreakable hold, however. and Taylor was forced to "calf rope"
 Martin Beats Hendricks
 Bill Martin was given a decision over Claud Hendricks in a 0 minute wrestling bout. Martin was on top most of the time, and probably earned the verdict on his agressveness.
 Steve Sarron and Bogie Saab wrest- led 10 minutes to draw. Sarron is a sturdy little fellow, and his strength offset whatever skill Saab displayed The youngsters put up an interesting exhibition.
 After the preliminaries came the big match, and the excitement. Some body was at fault, no doubt, but it would be hard matter to decide whether Tom Draak, heavyweight grappler, or the others.

STATEMENTS BY

Here's what each wrestler had to say after last nights affair at the B. A. C.:
 Says Cliff BincISIey
 "To say that I'm sorry for what happened would be putting it too mildly. I dislike a disorder of any kind. and for Draak to cause this brawl certainly pains me.
 "Whnt was the matter with him! Why. I was forcing him too hard and he lost his head. Every time we went to the mat had troublesome holds on him, and it got the best Of him t.c couldn't do anything wrestling, so he tried to fight.
 Even after Draak left the ring, was willing to resume wrestling, as you probably noticed. I told Ref cree Seals to call Draak back, and I would finish the bout. That's all I could do"
 Says Tom Draak
 (Minus the 3urr)
 "Binckley was roughing me at every opportunity. He was using his fingers to dig into my face, and his hand to twist my nose. That's more than I can stand. When fellow uses rough tactics with me, I am going to do the same. Binckley didn't want to wrestle cleanly, so thought I'd try his style awhile.
 "Why didn't ] go back to fin- ish the match. Why should I run the risk of being shot or cIubbed over the head by some crazy fooIs Pm a married man.s and have two children. No need to risk my life.

HC dlldiI dl litb A. '. last nlRnI resulted in a near riot. Even after Draak had left the ring, hostilities had not ceased, for Max Scholder and an unknown individual were still struggling over an iron dumbell which the unknown party had seized and started through the ropes, os- tensibly to 'crown" one of the two grapplers. Max grabbed hold and the two tugged long and fiercely. until several policemen and spectators parted them.
 Draak Feared Mob
 Order was partially restored, and Draak was asked to come back and finish the bout.
 What for, to get knocked in the head by some crack -brained fool" returned Draak. "Humph, I'm a ..ar- ried man, with two kids. Gi3e the match to Binckley. What for do I careg' and Toms explantaiot that the excited crowd might try ro do him bodily injury didn't sound bad. at that.
 It was announced that Binckley was awarded the match, and the af- fair was over. It was a long time before the B. A. c. was quiet after the row, though.
 Crowd Razzes Draak
 It all started early in the match. Binckley and Draak were putting up corking good wrestling exhibition, but for some reason the crowd was giving Draak the "razz."
 Hey you big stiff, get to work and quit stallingr" somebody yelled. You big sthiff yourself" returned Draak, but continued to wrestie.
 You big hunk CT cheese, why don't you wrest1e," was the next shot.
 "Mr. referee, sthop the match. Sthop it, say. I'll show 'em who's a big cheese" and Draak was plainly very excited. He broke away from Binck- Icy and started through the ropes after some tormentor in the crowd. He was enticed back into the ring, and the match continued.
 Fighting Begins
 Binckley and Draak went to the mat, with Binckley on top. Draak broke the hold, and rising to his feet, started slugging at Binckley. His blows didn't land, however. and the match continued.
 A minute or so later Draak hurled Binckley to the mat and started roughing his opponents face. He drew back his fist as if to strike Binckley. but didn't carry the blow through.
