house by giving Armbreaker Floyd
Brltt the good old lariat-spin In 26'i

tough mat encounter that saw both
bovt resort to unorthodox tactics at
times and at others display some
pretty neat straight wrestling.
It was the lone fall of the main
o. as Der usual Chick's opponent
being unable to shake the cobwebs
from his befuddled brain alter oeing
revolved In the airplane spin. Brltt
made a gallant attempt to rise irora

rnvhnv considerably with arm-
breakers over the rope ana .eg,
punches to the tummy and gouges
to the blinkers. Chick, not to be out

plenty of hair and several times gava
Brltt some of his own arm-breaker

again. Just before the end of the
round. McDonald picked up a chair
at the ringside, and as Christy stood
on the ring apron and attempted to
kick him in the teeth. Sockeye wham
med the hated San Franciscan across
the back with the chair, leaped Inside
the ring where Christy waa hollering
to high heavens, and clamped on a
Boston crab, which was the payoff.

Texas, won the third and deciding
