HEAD scissors and arm lock applied by Joe Stecher on Ed. Strangler Lewis last night at the 7ist Regiment Armory ended the most gruelling wrestling match ever seen in this city. four minutes had elapsed from its be- ginning.

So far the match looked bad to us. It seemed as if both men were filled with the notion that they must give the crowd something to enthu about before they actually started to win, Wrestling isn't a fake, as man; must while away an hour or so strenuously before becoming serious. And maybe they can't do this with all the sensational sidelights! Ordl narily a man like Stecher or even a Lewis ought to win quickly, but they don't think that is just what they should do. They feel that the crowd likes an hour or two of ¢lip flops be- fore the real stuff. One of these days a good wrestler is going to ap- pear on the w#porting horizon who will throw his opponents as quickly as possible, and he is going to be- come a star without any newspaper boosts or trimming. When fifty-six minutes had passed last night Stecher got his powerful lege around Lewis's body, but. the application wasn't just exact. The crowd stormed in advance, thinkin, Joe had the strangler, but Ed roll out of the hold like breaking sticks. Right after this Stecher sprung a brand new one. He got Lewis's left arm between his powerful lower ex- tremities and began pressing the Strangler toward the earth. Things jooked bad for Lewis, tut he struggled with his feet beating the canvas and finally got away. Lewis was in serious danger for the first time during the event The crowd went wild when he Bi out of the intricacy. When they had been at it an hour and six minutes (official), Lewis clapped the head lock on Stecher and it sounded as if somebody’s bones had been broken. Both men rolled over and over ,and soon the pair of them were out of danger. The crowd liked it, Stecher emerged from the metee with a scratched neck, Certainly it was exciting. ‘A leap frog session ensued after this. §Stecher, on whom Lewis had what looked like a dangerous leg hokl, went around the mat Itke a Jack Britton pursued by a Frank Moran.
