Although some upstate auth orities have taken action to pre vent Gorgeous Cus from appear ing in wrestling matches under the cruelty to animals statute, nobody need feel sorry for the bear when he climbs into the ring at the armory Thursday for a battle royal, it was stated to day by the bruin's owner and trainer, Billy Fox.
