I full of screaming customers hap
'pier than if they'd all had refunds
on their income tax. ,
' - The- session was ; Irmly one of
the. more super exhibitions, of
riving- and taking the hard way:
'; by the .grant and" groaners, and
Mr. Steenko, in rare form, didn't
go down finally beciaie he
wasn't f I g h 1 1 s (oops. It's
wrestling-.) He gave Tongh Tony,
enough of a battering '' that the
champ will probably take a cou
ple', bottles of arnica to work
with, him today at Paulas Bros;

And . poor Karlinko No sooner
had Roes' smashed f him for 'the
victory and left him at the mercy
of ; the . hooting customers, than
zing-zing-ring came the pop bot
tles. - Two or ' three were near
misses, but - a fourth , one '.nailed
the kinky-crowned Russ onx the
back of the bead and he staggered
to the dressing room with blood
dripping from the wound.
The exhibition by the ired cli
ents ; win probably necessitate a
little law-laying by the sponsor
ing American Legion body.- From
now on the customers will proba
bly do their "coke drinking from
paper-cups.

Then after a series of double

Tony started beating a tattoo en
the Russian's puffed face, setting
him up for same with tugging
handsfuU of that kinky hair. A
crushing dive oa the- Russian
after he was k a eked"' silly
brought Ross the victory, ' the
faas tot their feet and the pop
' bottles from the bleachers. - -
And even Milt Olson, the de-
serving cuss ; who's been trying to
get at Ross, took another step Up
ward by defeating! . a character
named Toughy Porter in thesemi
windup. j - Toughy was tough,, all
right, but since Olson ; has been
drawing I the meanies every week
lately he's apparently gotten used
to 'em. Anyway, he took two of
the three falls over the bald-head
ed Porter in a well-accepted
match. 4
Ernie ; Piluso and Glen Stone,
the Washington cop tangled in an
honest-to-goodness ' clean curtain
raiser with Piluso taking the final
fall after both had scored earlier.
The largest wrestling crowd
- of . the : season, excepting the
night The Ang-el appeared here,
was on hand for the entertain

send 'em home sorry' they came.
It was truly one of the best cards
of the season so far..
