Rated As Adonis Boesch has met and accounted for most of the blg-tlme wrestlers that northwest promoters have had to of fer, either polishing them off with hla deadly drop-kick or wearing them down with nls scientific, ag gressive type of wrestling. Besides a beautiful physique and knowledge of the intricacies of the profession. Boesch Is rated as on of the moat handsome men of the game, which adds to hi popularity.

King Tut has discarded his boxing gloves to return to his first love wrestling. Tut started out as Henry Tuttle, an amateur wrestler, but turned to boxing when he accidental ly discovered he had quite a punch. And then, too, there was the prom ise of greater remuneration in the boxing game; there being very little demand for wrestling lightweights. The terrific punch Tut boasted carried him far along the listlc high way, at that, for he scored knock outs In almost half his bouts. His one round knockout- of Billy Pe trolic, when the "Fargo Express" was plowing through his opponents under full steam, la his greatest achieve ment. As a lightweight and junior welterweight. Tut fought and held his own with Bruce Flowers, Jack Fields. Young Jack Thompson, Doc Snell, Tod Morgan, My Sullivan and Mike Dundee.

King Tut's return to the mat re calls the attempt Paul Berlenboch made last winter to gain a foothold In the wrestling game. Berlenbach. who had pounded his way to the light heavyweight title with one of the most devastating punches1 In re cent boxing history, was, like Tut, an amateur wrestler before he took to punching. Having reached the end of the trail as a fighter, he tried to caBh In on his reputation, but found the wrestling fans were not Interested In anything beyond hia ability to en tertain them on the mat. The o'iant George Godfrey took a fling at wrestling when, as the "Black Menace" of the boxing ring. he couldn't find enough work to keep his larder stocked with pork chops.
