started using roughhouse tactics, but
Rereree .Frlsble checked these tBctlcs
immediately and wised sub-Referee
Morgan to the manner in which Ed
wards brought them on. First Ed
warda started twisting Murdock's
fingers, 'then he would pull his hair.

and lnatead of carrying through hla
hatrpulllng and finger twisting, he let
fly a aeries of side arm butta that
lowered the Oklahoman to the saw
dust and by his knuckle hcadlock

flip off the ropes.
Chief Little Wolf Introduced a new
taotlo to local mat fans, a now type
of step-over leg hold the Indian
death hold. According to history this
type of hold was successfully used by
Indiana of olden tlmca when wanting
to keep a prisoner from running away.
Thev would select a comparatively
email tree and force the prlsoiffcr to
sit down with his legs crossed around
the tree In such a manner that the
prisoner could neither rise nor could
he undo his legs. Both falls, the first

this hold. Slrlos took the second

oughly dissipated by five beatings so
far this season. Charley Root run
into a streak wlldness In the sec
ond and had to give way to Bud Tin
ning, but even then It took a ninth
inning homer by Sunny Jim Bottom-
ley, with one on, to earn Cincinnati
a 5-4 victory.
Fidgety Phil Collins, who had held
the New York Giants to four hits in
his first start, came right back at
them with a five-hitter to pitch the
Phils to their first triumph, 3-3.
Pitching also dominated the other
two National league games as the
Boston Braves turned back Brooklyn,
2-0. In a duel between old Tom
Zachary and young Emil Leonard.

SHIRT-TAIL WRESTLING
SCORES HIT WITH PARIS
By Ralph Helnzen
United Press Staff Correspondent
PAItI8. (UP) In a w.hlrl of float
ing ah trt-tails Paris had Its first
glimpse of a new sport, Breton
wrestling.
In this refined sport of modified
murder, the only rules seem to be
to shake hands as often as possible
and to grab the opponent by the
shirt-tail. In Brittany It has been
going on for centuries, on the village
greens, and Vie manufacture of
ahlrtlng material Is a basic Breton
Industry.
The boys, as you may Imagine by
this time, do not show their hairy
chests as do ordinary pachyderms.
They wear trunks and over the
trunks long shirts like nightshirts.
They are of the toughest linen. The
shirts are tucked Into a black corset
around the waist.
The Idea is to grab t' e opponent ,
by hla shirt, toss him on his back
and shake hands with him first 1
when he arises. Once he Is on the '
floor, there Is no need to bite his
ears, twist his feet, squeeze him In !
a scissors hold, or stretch him out In j
A spread-eagle. j
No body holds are allowed and j
you can toss your opponent only by
means of grips on his shirt. The bout I
las 15 minutes, during which there j
may be 60 falls. The referee has an '
automatic counter and no one knowa j
who la winning until he does his
bookkeeping and reads the score. No
fall Is marked If both go to the floor:
one point Is added for each clean
toss.
The flrat exponents of this shirt
tall wrestling here were so enthusi
astic that time out was called every
few minutes to allow the talis to be
stuffed Into the corsets.
