Steele Is Winner
Over Kirshmeyer
After Three Falls
Ray Comes Back Strong in
Armory Main Go.

After falling a victim to the hook
scissors hold applied by Roland
Kirshmeyer, the Oklahoma long
boy" Ray Steele, wrestling artist of
California, got down to business and
annexed the second and third falls
in the main event at the Armory
last night.
Steele was hattened in six min
utes in the opener. Kirshmeyer was
whirling through the air in a series
of slams when suddenly he came
bouncing off the ropes, clamped his
legs around Ray on the fly and fell
on him for the down.
Steel Takes Punishment
For 80 minutes of the second fall,
Steele took an artistic lacing from
the lanky Westerner. They spent
the first 20 minutes on the mat,
Kirshmeyer Furnishing the veteran
with body, arm and head scissors.
Steele slipped over a few toe holds
himself, but was on the receiving
end most of the time.
With % minutes gone, Kirshmeyer
again caught Steele with the hook
scissors and the boys figured it was
all over. Well, it was, but not the
way the boys had figured it. Kirsh-
meyer tipped Steele up in the air
a la jim Browning and bounced
him on the canvas. Twice Steele
staggered to his feet but couldn't
stay there.
The third time he leaped back
suddenly. Roland's curly dome
thudded on the mat, Steele bounced
off the Oklahoman'S tummy and
it was curtains.
Quick Fade Out
This left Kirshmeyer feeling i'll
at ease in the 'tummy," and he was
easy prey for Ray in the final pin, a
rolling deadlock ending it in less
than a minute.
The victor weighed 218 pounds,
the vanquiShed, 221.
The bout between Ellis Bashara,
221, of Oklahoma, and Jack Ken
nedy, 2l5, Minneapolis, billed as the
opener, was staged as the semi
windup and went the time limit dis
lance of 80 minutes. Referee Berry
then stepped in and awarded the
verdict to Kennedy on points.
In the other encounter Of the
night Jake Patterson, 228, of New
ark, was tossed in II minutes by
