The winners ob tained three falla to the loser's none. Brltt and Murdock can thank dis sension In the ranks of Belcastro and Taakoff for their victory. After ar guing almost all evening regarding .the mothod of attack they should use against the two clcnntes, Belcastro and Taakoff finnlly started swinging at oach other at the BO-mlnute mark, with Taakoff turning traitor for keeps when, he grabbed Pete and held him while Murdock fired son- nenbergs Into the Mad Italian's, mid dle.

With the Tiger out of things, Hrltt and Murdock concentrated on Belcnstro. Brltt weakened him with armbreaks. then held him helpless while Murdock blasted with sonnen borgs and dropklcks. Pete didn't last long. For 30 minutes more the quartet grappled and slugged with honors about even and Pete and Tsakoff dis agreeing on all points.

Rvpry time Pete gave Tsakotf a pujh In tho direction of Murdock and Brltt. the Tiger was sent reeling by blows to the head. Finally, Tsakoff bocame tired of be ing a human punching bag, and turned on Pete and asked him what the Idea was, msklng him take all the punishment. Pete didn't answer him In the proper tone, and Tsakoff swung on the Mad Italian. . While they were mixing It. Murdock and Brut stepped In snd helped Tsakoff.
