Feb. 23 Ui It may be another 12 years before the grunters and groaners again In vade Madison Square garden; for last night's "muscle comedy" that featured Gorgeous George, wrest ling's top attraction, drew only 4.197 fans and $13,957.

And the show reportedly threw Promoter Bill Johnston for a $1,500 loss. Despite the mat boom stimulat ed by television at small clubs in the metropolitan area, New York fans apparently were not enthus iastic enough about the sport to pay as high as $7.50 for ringside seats. Not even to see the first appearance of the pachyderms at the Garden in a dozen years. Not even to see the sissified and atom ized George.
