SHIMA, AIDED BY JIU JITSU, WINS FROM PARELLI

Voluble Italian Bounced Twice; Evko Goes Out of Mat Picture, Impelled by Jerlstrom's Body Slam

Iota Shima had his big chance last night at the Civic Auditorium and made the most of it to defeat Joe Parelli, the fussy Italian in the main event on the Greater Athletic Club's weekly wrestling program.

A flip of a coin decided the style of wrestling for the first fall, Parelli winning the toss and selecting the catch-as-catch can fashion. In the third round, the Italian pinned the little Nipponese star to the mat with a series of flying mares.

The style changed to jiu jitsu and it took Shima just four minutes to get Parelli bewildered. The Italian ripped the jacket from his shoulder and tossed it far back into the audience, insisting that it was only in his way. Frank Vance enforced the jiu jitsu rules, however, and the Italian, still protesting vehemently, donned the jacket and went on with the bout.

Shima threw him seven times and then clamped on an arm bar, Parelli giving up in disgust. Shima then came back in the next round to win another fall with his jiu jitsu holds, and the bout as well.

Nore Jorlstrom body-slammed John Evko -- of the Evko-Plestina act -- into submission. In the third round of their bout, Jarlstrom raised the Slav high into the air, crashed him to the floor and the bout was over, Evko meeting defeat for the first time on the Greater program. Jarlstrom has not lost a fall on the local mat, since his arrival from Minneapolis several weeks ago.

August Sepp won on successive falls from "Swede" Johnson in the semi-windup, using body slams to gain the verdict in the second and third rounds.

Bobby Bylund and "Wildcat" McCann wrestled to a draw, both boys scoring a fall. George McDowell went three rounds to a draw with Johnny "Red" O'Brien in the opener.
