O'T0Ole at
Arena

Jim Londos retained his world
wrestling championship at Tur-
ner's Arena when Tommy
OToole. the Irish contender, was
counted out after 391a minutes
of the main event. A percentage
Of the returns was turned over
to the Christmas Cheer Club,
sponsored by the Patterson News
papers, Station VOL and Loew's
Theaters.
The match was a pleasing one
all the way, for the boys gave the
crowd some real action for its
money. The end came when
O'Toole climaxed a series Of fly.
ing tackles by flying out Of the
ring and rendering himself hors
de combat. Referee Bortnick
counted O'Toole out.
The two grapplers alternated in
applying torturouS armlockS, and
L'ondoS broke the monotony by
catching Tommy in a series of
BODY slams and airplane spins.
After O'Toole had survived two
of Jim'S spins he launched q
counterattack and drove the Gold
en- Greek all over the ring with
his flying tackles.
The IriShman had Jim hanging
on the ropes and when he flew
through the air to knock Londos
from his perch, he missed his
target and landed in the aisles.
He was unable to return to the
ring and was counted out by
Bortnick.
In semifinal ms tch Nick
Campofreda won over w alter
Percy when the latter injured his
back, when he also flew through
the ropes. The time was 12h
minutes.
In preliminary matches Fran K
Brown stopped Herbie Freeman in
1872 minutes with a series of fly.
ing tackles: Chief Little Wolf won
over Karl Davis by disqualification
in six minutes; and Hardy Krus-
kamp wrestled 80 minutes to a
draw with Jim Wright.
