A STRENUOUS MATCH. PENALTY FALL AWARDED. I i BOUT ENDS IN SIXTH .ROUND. Qeorgo Walker, British Empire champion, added further to hfs undefeated record of the 1932 season when he backslammed Harry Mamos for the deciding fall In a professional wrestling bout In the Theatre Royal, Hamilton, last evening. * The match, which drew a large house, was productive of strenuous matwork practically throughout, the leavening of a little gallery play rousing the crowd on several occasions. In the opening session Mamos picked up his opponent to send him hurtling over the ropes, and though 'cautioned by Referee Charlie Pollard he persisted in his tactics. Police-Inspec-tor D. C. Fraser subsequently called the referee aside, and it was shortly after this that a penalty fall was awarded against the Greek for ignoring previous warnings. The house gave the referee’s decision a hostile reception. It certainly was an unfortunate yet inevitable ruling. Mamos evened in the fifth round with a submission fall from his Greok 'cross hold. The end came in the next round when Walker, who appeared dazed, picked up his opponent lo whirl him round and back-slain him for the deciding fall. Walker sent the Greek through the ropes with a flying mare to open the bout, Mamos retaliating by lifting his opponent out of the ring. The Greek broke a short-arm scissors and was in a reverse double wrist-lock shortly after. Mamos sent Walker over the ropes again, and his persistence in these tactics gave Walker the initial fall of the match. Walker roused the displeasure of the oroxvd by jumping -on the Greek early in the second round. He held Mamos in a double wrist-lock, the latter seeking relief by clapping on a head scissors. Walker was warned for a strangle hold, and was In a short arm scissors which he came out of to be thrown with a series of forward chanceries. They snapped into it to open round three, Walker being trapped early in a head scissors which the Greek could not sustain. Walker broke it with a double wrist-lock and came out of a punishing toe hold to steady his opponent with another wrist-lock. Mamos failed to hold the Canadian in a sitting spills. Walker threw Mamos with a brace of head locks and escaped from a subsequent hold to repeat the measure. The fourth session saw Walker thrown with a pair of head locks, but he punished the Greek later with a semi-stopper bold. A reverse toe hold hafd Walker In trouble, but, breaking it, he evened the score with his popular short arm scissors. The Canadian changed his advantage to a partially applied cruoiflx, out of which the Greek bumped himself to hold his ■opponent in a hammorlock at the gong. Walker dumped Mamos and they indulged in spectacular by-play. Mamos trapped the Canadian in a Greekcross to make honours even.
