NEW YORK, April 5. - What
this department needs in addition
to a patron who will pay his rent
is a certified public genealogist
who will devote his time, full and
spare, to tracing and bringing up
to date the nations many branched
wrestling business tree.
The wrestling business, in case
you don't know, is filled with more
camps than the Maine woods in
August. Only they are not called
camps. They are known as trusts
and bear the name of the head
man. Thus we have the Curleys,
the Bowsers and the Sandows, to
name the big three, and the
Mondts, the Packs and the Fabian
is, to mention the three principal
subsidiaries.
Then there are the left and right
wing Curleys, the right and left
wing BoWsers, the Whig and Tory
SandoWs, the Scratch Back Packs,
and the Pink and Red Mondts.
Members of one camp are very
snooty toward the elephants of any
other herd, refusing to have any
traffic, business or social, with
them. If you ever happened to see,
say, a Bowser in the ring with a
Curley, or a Whig SandoW give
off CHEEKY good morning" to a
left wing Bowser, you would do this
department a great favor by giving
him a ring. For such q happening
would be front page news all over
the world
With so many branches there is
bound to be confusion. Such a
confusion exists in New York right
this minute and has the Curley
camp in an uproar. Jim Londos,
champion of the Curley's asked per-
mission TO meet Stranger Lewis in
title" match. Lewis was for
years Sandow SO Curley would
not consider allowing his man to
meet him. Londos insisted Lewis
was no longer a SandoW; that by
leaving the enemy's camp the
Stranger ceased to be an untouch-
able. Curley said to hell with that
once a Sandow always Sandow.
And besides Londos must meet
Dick Shikat, the Curley from whom
he won the Curley title two years
ago.
Londos countered by saying that
he had learned from a reliable
source that all the time Lewis had
posed as a true blue Sandow, he
deep down in his heart, was a Cur
ley; that the Stranger, even while
flying the SandoW colors, was head
ing for a little group that met Sec
reilly every Wednesday night and
sang Curley songs, grunted Curley
grunts, groaned Curley groans, and
made Curley faces. Curley said
that sounded nightly nice, but Jim
must lick Shikat.
May Meet Lewis
So today Londos was considering
skipping to California and there,
in the heart of the SandoW terri
tory, take on Stranger. Such
step would undoubtedly smash the
famous double play combination
Londos to Curley to Londos. Let us
all hope and pray such thing can
be avoided
If, however, the question of who's
right-Londos or Curley, comes to
vote this department will cast it's
ballot for Londos. 1t would seem
that Jeems deserves to be allowed
to pick at least one of his oppon-
entS. Has he not been throwing
Calzas, Garibaldis, Stems, Free
mans, Houlibans, McMillans, Steeles
and Roebucks at Curley's bidding
without a murmer? Has he not
allowed a goodly portion of them
to treat him roughly when, had he
seen fit, he could have laid them
like rug in two minutes flat?
Furthermore, who knows but
Londos has a feeling that Shikat
