Culling the Cauliflowers
BY Francis E. Stan.

Feather in the semi final to the Rudy
Dusek-Gino Garibaldi bout.
Suecher lost his crown to Stranger
Lewis, but only after he had removed
any doubts as to the strength of his
legs. Stecher, it is told, held his
scissors on Lewis for nearly half an
hour. The upper part of Lewis body
actually turned dark under the pres
sure. Stecher is getting on to ripe
old age, which means nothing in wres-
ting. Some claim his legs haven
lost an iota Of power.
Dusek and Garibaldi, main-eventeFs
tomorrow, have opposed only once--in
Chicago. The bout went two hours
with a pinfall. but Garibaldi was
awarded a decision. There will be
no decision tomorrow.
Other matches list Jim Mcmillan and
Jack Zarnas, Berto Assirati and Jim
Monaghan and Frank Brunowicz and
Marshall Blackstock.
A S far as washington is concerned
n wrestling actually seems to be be-
coming more popular. Well over
10000 turned out last week and in
dications point to another crowd OF
between 5000 and 10000 tomorrow.
Joe Turner's policy of allowing
women with escorts to the show free
and his latest reduction of prices is
booming the grunt and grimace game
considerably.
nOSSIBLY in no other sport are
L names mispelled more often than
In wrestling Nobody seems to get
them Just right all the time and nobody
seems to care much. Except the
wrestlers.
Abe Kashey and Berto Assirati have
experienced the greatest trouble in get
ting their names before the public cor
rectly.
When Joe Turner first booked the
contortionist, Assirati, he phoned Jim
McGrath from New York the name as
to the newspapers as such. Then Jim
Corrigan, who had met Assirati. put
Jim and the papers straight-Berto
Assirati. So McGrath told Announcer
Jimmy Lake, who went to the center OF
the ring and yelled:
"Bertram Asafetida."
Assirati probably didn't know what
asafetida was. He said or did nothing.
When Kashey first was booked his
name was spelled Abad Kasah. As
usual, McGrath so informed the news
papers and Jimmy Lake. When the
bout went on, Lake announced:
Recent importation from Turkey
Abad Murad"
Later "Abad Murad" informed Jimmy
his name was Abe Kashey and he came
from Princeton University, where he
played foot ball.
