The falls stood one apiece when Mehalikis started his ser ies of bone-crushing headlocks and although his arm appeared to be in direct contact with Piluso't wind-pipe now and then nobody did anything about it. After four and half min utes of receipting for the pain ful hold, Ernie was pinned with a body press. The Prince won the first fall in nine minutes of great scien tific wrestling. After the ad vantage changed hands with lightning-like rapidity, Mehali kis whipped on a Boston Crab and Piluso patted the mat to save himself further punish ment Four minutes after Piluso had the equalizing tumble, by vir tue of several smashing sonnen berg's off the ropes, a flying tackle and a body press.

The Black Panther, aggres sive colored boy, withstood Bulldog Jackson's most terrific hammerlocks to trounce the Portland toughie in the middle event, two falls to one. The Panther brought into play his potent headlock In the second round to grab the first fall, but Jackson came back in the fourth to get his lone turn ble by use of an excruciating hammerlock, which he made more effective by breaking the Panther's 'arm over the ropes and committing other illegal maneuvers. In the fifth heat Jackson slammed the darkie outside the ring and kept booting him in the stomach whenever he at tempted to return. Finally, the Negro flash employed a sling shot back through the hemp that dropped Jackson dead In his tracks. Panther pinned Bull dog with a body press for the match. Frankle Clemens used his In dian paralyzer in the fourth round to win the third and tell ing fall from Villainous Al Fer ona in the opener.
