"when you gonna come to our ftown to fight" again, Joe?" But the
Woodburn hayhand could only mutter, "Heck, IH be fightin in the
army before long," between shudders of climbing into the armory pit
to shake hands with "Strangler" Lewis . . . Incidentally, Woodburn
Joe wheezed he'd "rather fight 10 men than crawl in that ring Just
to let the people see me." . . . No, he wasn't "scaird" of the ferocious
looking "Strangler." ..."
How Old h "Strangler" LeteU?
Ta said wimmen are the most reluctant of the species to unveil
age, but you should try "Strangler" Lewis. He can look you straight
m the eye, smile politely and grumble "54" without batting an eye.
And all the while you know the
ling a whopper.
Since Lewis staggered Into the village the other night the question,
"How old is he, anyway?" has been wearing us out We tried 17'
different ways to find out, hut all we got was "54." Of course , the
"Strangler" and his pals didn't know that we know that not too long
ago he was denied a wrestling license in the state of Florida because.
he was over sixty, and that upon same denial he offered to put up
$1000 that he could toss all five of the Florida commissioners at once.
Naturally, said commissioners refused again. Too, our father insists
' he sneaked out of his cradle and waddled down to an Indiana battle
pit just to see the "Strangler." And pop isn't a chicken any more.
And just lately we head where one of Lewis' school teachers wrote
him a letter reminding him of the good ol grammar school days at
Nekoosa, Wisconsin, back in the 1890's. Lewis must've been 10 or 12
years old then either that or a "Quiz Kid" of the era. So come to your
ewn conclusions. The guy is past 60 for sure, but we can't jret figure
how a gent of that age can stand the wear and teatpf even pulling on
. his tights. Some of that hokus-pokus he goes through must hurt once
m a while. ' ;l V
But being a professional explains his reluctance at revealing years.
AU pay-f or-play athletes are guilty of cheating at least a couple years,
and all a sincere effort to beat Father Time to the punch. Ballplayers
are the worst to fall in this category. We've known some who have bor
rowed half a dozen semesters just to escape the "all through", age of
35. The longer they can say "29" the better, but never "30". Once a
ballgamer hits that crest he's automatically on his way down. And it's
the same in professional football and boxing and wrestling and every
"other sport in which the cloak can be drawn. , j ,
And so the "Strangler", like wimmen, comes: by it naturally. As
an exception, he s trying to over-do

But what Isn't excusable is the uninvited and unwelcome "rides"
passed onto those kids by grownups in the grandstand who should
know better. You must remember that these kids are still rather tra

those overly-vociferous grownups should have learned better long

Sunday's squabble came as a result of verbal "rides" which go on
luring every game on the field. Fans don't hear; 'em all and some-
- times the jockeying becomes a bit too personal. A peak was hit during
Sunday's game and it resulted in expected but unwanted roughness.
" And both sides were equally at fault : . . ' t '

- not be excused. And the kids are cooking up a way of stopping it
