Caddock Struggle
Iowa restler Unable lo Cope
With Deadly Headlock in
Des Moines, la.,
Match.
Des Moines, la., April 13. (Spe
cial Telegram) In a thrilling wrest
ling battle "Strangler" Ed Lewis
was able to defeat Earl Caddock
Tuesday at the Coliseum in straight
falls fry virtue of his deadly headlock,
which he used at the proper time in
getting both falls. The champion
took the first fall in 1-35. which came
after a series of headlocks which the
Iowan was unable to cope with.
In the early part of the match
Caddock was the aggressor and
many times had the Kentuckian in
jeopardy. Caddock was . assisted
from the ring by his manager Gene
Melady and Lowis. v
The second fall came after seven
minutes and 30 seconds of fast
wrestling in which Caddock met
Lewis' headlock with the toe hold
as a counter. He was greatly weak
ened, however, and was unable to
fight off his opponent's rushes and
lost the match when Lewis put on the
third consecutive headlock of the
fall.
Lewis was booed and hissed for
his usc of the headlock. Lewis re
mained in the ring during the inter
mission. Thousands were turned away at
the door hours before the match and
it took possessors of tickets an hour
to get into their seats. Window
lights were broken freely to enable
outsiders to witness the match.
