NEW YORK, oct. 3U.-Wearing
my favorite disguise. that Of an
unemployed sawer-cff of sawed-off
shotguns. I went to Madison Square
Garden last night TO see for my
self whether wrestling was crooked.
on the level, on just a balanced
blend of fraud and righteousness.
My survey. made from a point so
close to the rings.de that only nine
rows OF Tammany politicians were
between me and the artists, COW
cred the entire program Of seven
matches, beginning with a duel
between Tor johnson Of Sweden
and Mays McLain of Iowa. and
ending with Hans Steinke Of
somewhere and Earl McCredy OF
somewhere else.
Five of the matches revealed
nothing. SO expertly did the per
formers move through their seem
ario. But the other two. namely,
Rudy Dusek VS.. Harry Fields. and
Everett Marshall VS.. Dick Shikat,
furnished the information l sought.
From them-and will the trumpet

the conclusion that wrestling, as
she is wrestled in these parts, is
highly harmonious mixture OF
mayhem and monkey business.
Last nights mayhem, or so it
seemed, was furnished by Rudy
Dusek and the good Doctor Fields.
If their bout was framed, so was
Bull Run, Chickamauga and Gust

of the family whose proud boast
is that the sun never sets but

Fields with the opening bell. AL
ternating between the doctors head
middle and legs with a nice reg
ularity, Rudy scratched gouged

Doctor Fields replied in kind, re-
vealing a bedside manner that
if ever used on his future patients
will cause the sickest OF them to
rise from their couch, leap through
the nearest window, and run that
four minute mile the experts talk
about. That is, if Doctor Fields
doesn't get in the first lick.

SO much for the mayhem. Now
for the monkey business. Or rath-
er, what looked like the OF monk

THE match would end right

tear away all the ligaments and

But Shikat didn't do it. He
twisted so far, and no further. Fin

BALTIMORE, January i0.-The
United States Circuit Court Of Appeals
for the fourth circuit has been asked
to decide whether q man can 60 on
periodical drunks and yet be described

The question came up yesterday in

ginia in favor Of an insurance COM
pany.
Alfred G. Fox of Bluefield, W. Va,
attorney for the Mutual Benefit Health

an accident policy for Gail T. Dudgeon
of WEIGH, w. Va. contended q person
who went ON such sprees and had to
60 to hospitals to be sobered up could
not say that he was q man Of correct
and temperate habits and that he had
not received medical treatment.
Zeb H. Herndon and Ira j. Partlow,
attorneys for Dudgeon's widow, Mrs
Hazel D. Koford, appellant, declared
that periodical drinking was "a trivial
ailment" and could not be considered
as bad q habit as STEADY drinking"
The insurance company won in the
lower court q directed verdict on the
ground that Dudgeon. who died as the
result of an automobile accident. had
practiced fraud in obtaining the insur-
ance policy because his answers to
questions on the application were un-
true.
