OF BROOKLYN ACE
Local Fandom to See New
Talent in Armory Ring
Catalano-Hubka Match
Promises Rough Exhibition
By securing Paul Boesch. the moat
prominent "find" among wrestlers In
the northwest at the present time,
and matching htm with Bob Kruse of
Portland, known In coast light circles
as a wily exponent of the grunt and
grimace, Promoter Mack LUlard has
lined up a main event bout for the
armory tonight which he believes will
make a top-notch Christmas gift to
Med ford fandom.
For many wwka the promoter has
had his eye on Boesch, watting for an
opportunity to ttjn him up for a
local appearance. During thorie weeks
the Brooklyn bono bender has been
making a name lor himself In Port
land, the wrestling center of the
state, as possessing a drop-kick com
parable to Jumping Joe Savoldl's, be
sides a knack at coming out of the
ring with the odd fall stowed away.
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.
On the other hand, Kruse has In
his famous wrist-lock an offensive
weapon with which alone he can usu
ally count on getting one fall. The
broccoli king knows the wristlock
from A to 2 with all Us variations,
and takes the fight out of his oppo
nents by Its persistent use. He Is also
able to kick and squirm his way out
of most of the bad ones, but fans
ure wondering how he will cope with
the Brooklyn boy's double leg punch.
Tony catalano of naly will appear
match, in which he has been paired
with Joe Hubka, another newcomer
and former University of Iowa star
athlete.' These boys will bring some
of the new talent to the Medford
ring LUlard han promised.
Cutiiluno Hough
In Catalano, LUlard says he has
secured a btg-tlme wrestler of no
mean ability at opening up the fire
works. The Italian has also been
going great In Portland and other
northwest cities recently, his rough
style gaining great popularity lor him.
He is not merely a scupper, but a
thoroughly experienced ginppler who
doesn't believe In serving pink tea.
Hubka, ou the other hand, I a
grappler who takes his wrestl.'ng a
bit more after the style of the col
legiate athlete, giving his opponeuui
the latest In clever holds and fancy
breakaways. Benldes .taming many
of his tricks of the wrestling game at
Jowa, he was a protege of joe fckech
or. ex-heavy weigni champion of the
world.
LUlard Is offering this card at the
popular low admission rates, and may
use one or both of the winners as
material for next week's card, for
which he also hcyes to Una up a re
turn engagement between Hod Devil
and Bete Belcastro.
Paul Boesch of Brooklyn, rated one of the handsomest men In the grip
and grimace game, who has left a trail of fnllen rormen In his current
trek through the Northwest's wrestling rings. Boench fares the wily vet
eran, Bob Kruse, In the second half of a rlual card at the Armory tonight.
Tony Catalano and Joe Hubka, also strangers to the local arena, will grap

Baer tomorrow night" will do some
thing no other boxing champion ever
dared to do by risking his heavy
weight crown in a four-round match
against King Levinsky, Chicago's wild
swinging fish peddler, at the Chi
cago stadium.
At the request of the champion,
six ounce gloves will be used and,
while no decision wlU be made if
the battle goes four rounds, the
referee will count out either fighter
if he absorbs a knockout punch.
Thus, If Levinsky should fell Baer
for the count, the Kingfish would
win the title. -
