 by Under-ring Tdetits

Billy Purple Pants) Spendlove came out second best last night in a rough and tough wrestling match with Walt c a t on, exMexican champ in the main event bout of the card staged in the Elks' Hall
 Spendlove who is veteran of the old anything goes" school was talk en by surprise in the fracas when the tricky Gaston pulled dirty (to quote woman fan in the blue hat, third TOW from the rear) stunt to wN the decision.
 Tn the fifth round of their sched- uled ten-minute round bout, Spendlove was decidedly in front. By a series of well-aimed open hand CD socks at Gaston's midships and chin, he had the Mexican champ groggy Picking him up, he tossed him through the ropes. The first time GaSton crawled out from be- heath the seats, climbed into the ring looking hay. Spendloye re- peated the toss act and stood back waiting for Gaston to make another reappearance from among the spec tators.
 Suddenly from the other side of the ring, at Billys back who should come flashing in but friend Gaston. He dumped the surprised Spendlove on his upholstered ear and took a fall with fast Boston Crab. He had crawled under the ring in record time to pop up on the other side
 This spill brought the count on even terms as in the third Spend love after giving his opponent a thorough working over lifted Cas- ton from the floor, went into an airplane spin and slammed the re- mains on the canvas. Gaston took the sponge.
 Climax Comes
 Climax came in the sixth round when Gaston, recovering from two feet pushed into his solar plexus while Spendlove used the corner post for leverage, managed to win on a semi -fluke Spendlove attempt ed a repeat performance of his air plane spin, but this time when he hoisted the groggy Gaston something gave way underneath. They crashed to the floor with Gaston on top and before the ex-Montana champ could begin figuring, his shoulders were pinned for the count.
 Weights as announced from the ring. Spendlove 182, Gaston TIT.
 Eustace- Omadahl
 Semi-final match between Gene Eustace and Carl Omadahl saw the heavier North Dakotan flip Eustace with reverse leg lock after 4 min- utes of the second round in their 4 six-minute round bout. In the fourth round which saw Eustace take the sea gull route over the ropes and which witnessed Referee Al Greenwald become the object of both wrestlers' dislike when he at tempted to stop them from pulling each others hair, Eustace regained some ground by slipping on Oma- dahl what might be described as reverse Boston Crab, and winning, thereby, fall.
 The match ended in the fifth round by Omadahl slipping Eustace from a punishing arm lock into a Boston Crab and giving him the works
 Weights announced from the ring, Eustace 174, Omadahl 1894
 Poor old Doc Webb was practically chased from the ring by the warm tempeerd Eustace who had violent objections to him acting as referee. At the last match, it will be re- membered. Eustace in the arhitra- tors role was forced to spend half the night impressing his decisions on the Aux Bay flash, who was on the card, with numerous headlocks and leg twists. Eustace and the Doc don't get along so well It seems They should go in the ring ana ilsht it out.
 Dayis-Numa Draw
