Lewis struggled like a demon but Burns grabbed a hammerlock forcing Lewis’ shoulders to the mat for the second fall. The majority of the crowd was cheered wildly for Burns, the favorite of 80 percent of the spectators.

Burns was more aggressive to start the third fall but Lewis soon secured a full-Nelson. Burns slipped out. Lewis secured a body hold flipping Burns head over heels to the mat. Burns landed on his back. Referee Charlie Duplessis of Chicago, Illinois rightly awarded the fall to Lewis to the boos of the crowd. The reaction was so negative that Duplessis made a speech to the crowd defending his decision.

The fourth fall turned out to be a flash throw. Burns feinted for a leg hold but instead grabbed a half-Nelson. Burns threw Lewis to the ground for the fourth fall in only a minute.

The men were tied at two falls apiece entering the fifth fall. Lewis pulled out all the stops by applying his dreaded strangle hold, known as a guillotine choke today.
