Lewis To Wrestle At Auditorium Tonight

Pawtucket Times – April 20, 1927

Professional wrestling, which has been undergoing a revival in all parts of the country will be in order tonight at the Auditorium with a series of four of four matches between men of established reputation, the main event bringing together “Strangler” Ed Lewis, holder of the Tex Rickard $10,000 belt, against Dr. Karl Sarpolis, the Lithuanian physician wrestler. They are to go best two out of three falls to a finish.

The supporting numbers indicate a well-balanced programme. Ned McGuire, the Irish giant, and Mike Romano, the Italian heavyweight, are down for a one fall match, and as both have wrestled Lewis and scored falls, the winner will get after the champion real hard for a return match.
