Show BRENTANO WINS IN FAST TIME Jack Brentano, popular Canadian Canad-ian wrestler, didn't know whether he had lost or won Monday night after the headline bout at Park Ro-She. He won his bout all right slamming Lou Ketonen to the mat with a Sonnenberg butt for the first and last falls in jig-time. jig-time. But he lost $90. So 'today all' the fun of pinning the face-pulling Finn from Wisconsin, Wis-consin, is. kinda wiped out by the loss of the 90 bucks. Breritano won the first fall before be-fore the audience had- settled into their seats. He dashed at the grimacing Ketonen and spun him to earth with a whip-wristlock, butted him thrice and pinned him. 1 It took 30 seconds. The next fall was longer. Specializing Spec-ializing on scissors, hammerlocks and toe-holds, the pair tussled about the ring in an interesting exhibition of grappling, which finally fin-ally ended up by Ketonen winning with the Indian death lock. This is the hold said to be used by the Injuns in tying up their enemies without using ropes. They merely mere-ly threaded 'em around a tree. like a pretzel. The wrestlers got all scrambled up and when they unwound un-wound Brentano's feet were tangled tan-gled up onto. Ketonen's one leg and the Canadian conceded the fall after Ketonen put on the pressure. Wins In Fast Time i The third fall was-similar to the I first onq. Brentano wasted little j time, but floored Ketonen with a "thump!" that would be heard for a hundred yards in windy weather then pinned him. He must have been anxious to go hunt for his money. ' Swede Lawson and Bobby Samson Sam-son tussled to a draw in a colorful color-ful 45-minute time limit event. Samson took the first fall with a reverse figure four grapevine in 27 minutes and Swede took the second in 14 minutes with a flying fly-ing Boston Crab. Samson's great strength stood him in good stead through the bout, as he broke many of Swede's pet holds by brute force. Swede did much of his damage with flying scissors, while Samson applied the headlock frequently and used his own peculiar pecu-liar leg holds with good results. Another draw resulted when Henry Jones, Provo met Jack bartlett, the Cedar City cowboy, in a mixed bout, with Jones boxing. box-ing. Jones used his educated legs to advantage in tying up the wrestler, then pounding at him. Bartlett broke down and entertained enter-tained the audience with a cowboy song before the final bout. It was a very sad song that had many in tears. A number of musicians were seen to be crying. It was : indeed pitiful. In a three-round boxing preliminary, pre-liminary, Glen Allen, 133, an up-and-coming fighter from Springville, Spring-ville, outpointed Johnny Rowe, veteran battler from Spanish Fork. Rowe's speed and experience experi-ence gave him the edge in the first round but the second round was even and Allen had much the bett-er of it in the final heat. He was delivering some severe jolts to the Spanish Forkcr's head and chin as the round wore on. Morris Larson and Teddy Nel-1 Nel-1 son of Payson fought to a draw.
