Sammy Manacher, handsome Jewish wrestler of New York, thrilled a medium-sized crowd of fans here Saturday night by de feating the rough and unscrupul ous Glenn Wade of Wayne, Ne braska, in the feature match. Pete Maragoff of Chicago, 111., favorites, by battling Tommy | added his name to the local list of O’Toole, who outweighed him by over ten pounds, to a draw in the sixty-minute preliminary bout. The main joust brought more applause, however, being rougher and more replete with the thrill ing blood-and-thunder “stuff.” Wade aroused the ire of the fans by pulling Manacher’s coal-black hair and choking him, but shouted its delight when Sammy turned on his opponent with fists flying. Managoff had a tough opponent in O’Toole, a newcomer to this section. He succeeded in putting O’Toole’s arm in the painful ham mer lock early in the bout, but Tommy somersaulted out ofc the hold. Managoff applied the hpld twice more, but each time O’Toole managed to break it after a few minutes of struggle. O’Toole brought laughter from the audi ence when he rolled himself up in a ball by clasping his hands under his legs. Manacher won the first fall of the main battle after knocking Wade flat with a flying tackle*. The time was twenty-five minutes. Wade returned to take the sec ond fall with the hammer-lock, with Manacher surrendering after several minutes af real pain. Manacher brought his feet into use in the third fall to conquer Wade in seven minutes. He pin ned Wade for the count after kicking him sprawling with one of his flying-foot attacks.
