 Boston, July 31.-(UP)-Younr Danno o'Mahony of Ireland is the widely disputed ''undisputed world heavyweight wrestling champion" to-day by virtue of a victory over Ed Don George in last night'st umultuous grappling match free-for-all brawi and young riot staged before nearly 45,00O fans at Braves field.
 Referee James J. Braddock, an Irishman of American vintage who wears the world heavyweight box ing chapeau, declared O'AGahoney the victor and immediately backed his decision with flying fists, floor ing Don Georges chief second twice as the match ended and a melee started fin the ring.
 Record Mob
 The largest crowd ever to wit. ness a professional wrestling show was electrified at the unpro. grammed activities. Before squads of Boston and state police halted the brawl, at least 20 members of the two mat camps and their en- thusiastic admirers were whanging away under the floodlights.
 All this occurred smack dab be- for the amazed and somewhat for- rified eyes of dignified Gov. James M. Curley of Massachusetts. Gov. Curley was seated right at the ring apron and twice narrowly missed being target when O'Mahoney's body sailed over the ropes. And when the hurly-burly started the governor was damned against the ring by swarming fans.
 Jimmy Braddock counted out squat, swarthy Don George after one hour and 30 minutes of grap. bling, making the husky, fair. skinned soldier from the Irish Free State the first ''undisputed" world champion the mat game has had for six years.
 And Braddock's count, which will be written into wrestling an- nals in the same size type given to Barry's long count in the boxing book, started the fireworks. Brad. dock counted to the official 90, and when Don George of Buffalo failed tot return to the ring after 6 flight into the press section, Ae raised Danno's big right mitt.
 Immediately, Don Georges chief second and trainer, Frank Della mano, sprang through the ropes and charged at Braddock. He at. tempted to wallop the king of ifs. tiana-a mistake. Jimmy stretched him on the canvas.
 Too Fast7
 Dellamano and the rest of the George camp believed Jimmy had given the New England champion a short count-that he had count ed 20 as if he wanted to get back to his hotel in . hurry. They also believed that Jimmy had given O.. Mahoney long count just a couple minutes before.
 In his dressing room, Don George insisted that he was still champion of the world-at least as far as New England's recognition is concerned. New England and Canada recognized the former Michigan university and Olympic grappler as king because of his victory over the Henri Deglane of France two years ago. O'Mahoney who scored his 63d victory since coming to America about seven months ago, was recognized as champion throughout the rest of the country because of his victory three weeks ago over Jim Londos. George said he would take his cases to the American wrestling asso sociation, under whose rules the match was staged. O'Mahoney had advantages of youth and poundage over his op- ponent. The Irish Adonis is 21 and weighs 224 pounds, against Eds 30 years and 220 pounds.
