Lou Schaefer today explained the
improved performance turned in
by Master Lad. winner of Fridays
third race. In his previous outing.
Master Lad raced with a ring bit,
which slipped out of his mouth,
and Shaefer says he was unable
to guide him properly. The horse
had an extension bit Friday and
hence the improvement.
There were four claims Friday,
bringing the total for the meeting
at Hialeah to date to II. These
represent an aggregate sum of
$28,600. Mrs. M. j. White took
Brass Monkey from Philip Bieber

of Dean, he has concentrated
on Tor Johnson, a Swede, who is
even bigger than the bearded
giant from Hell's Kitchen.
johnson will appear on Cur.
ley'S card in the Garden tonight,
and next to Dan O'Mahoney,
the Irish Adonis, seems to be the
best possible build-up for a
money match with LondoS. I
mean among the younger men,
for Don George is certainly the
outstanding challenger Of them
all at the moment.
This O'Mahoney is one Of the
most beautifully developed ath.
letes who ever invaded the
United States. He's a hundred
pounds lighter than the Deans
and Johnson, but he doesn't
need added beef. He knows all
the standard holds al has a
special one of his own. the
Irish whip. . that is first rate.
New Faces Needed
Wrestling, like other sports,
needs new faces. AS a matter
Of fact, it needs them more
than any other racket. There
is only a comparatively small
group of first rate mat men, as
is shown by the fact that they
have to work four and five
nights a week. The customers
see them too often and they
sigh for new ones.
Deans financial success on
the West Coast was due to the
fact that he was a different type
from any that had hitherto
shown their wares in those
parts. Had the Man Mountain
been a really good wrestler he
would not have worn out his
welcome in a long time. Even
in spite of the fact that he
isn't tops, he did very well for
himself. They say that no
where in the world is medioc.
rity so highly paid as around
Hollywood. and this apparently
goes for the mat game as well
as pictures.
O'Mahoney has been greeted
with violent praise. He is new
and young and interesting. He
has a distinctive style and
plenty of box office appeal.
Unless the handouts are put
on him he should make q lot
of money before he goes back
to Ireland.
Incidentally. a first-rate Irish
wrestler is unique. We have
plenty of Greeks, Germans,
Russians, Lithuanians, Poles
and what not, but darned few
Irishmen.
At the moment, though, my
thoughts run to Man Mountain
Dean. He was brought up on
New York's tough West Side
and spent a good part Of his
life in the South. AS Soldier
LeaVitt, he was distinctly a
third-rate heavyweight fighter.
AS Man Mountain Dean he
wasn't great improvement as a
wrestler. He must be close to
forty but still makes a better
living for himself than men of
greater attainmentS. think
that's extraordinary enough to
earn a place in the book.
The Washington times., 1935-01-28

NEW YORK, Jan. 28.-The
other night in Los Angeles,
Chief Little Bear threw Man
Mountain Dean and convinced
even the gullible CalifornianS
that, as a wrestler, the 800
pound bluebeaI d is pretty good
fan dancer. We in the East
found that out a long time ago.
AS a matter of fact, the Man
Mountain had been tossed
around so much that he began
to find it difficult to get even
the $50 preliminary spots east
Of the Mississippi.
Personally, despite his tech
nical shortcomings, I always
liked to see Dean wrestle. He
wasn't as funny looking as Fritz
Kley and lacked the grotesque
facial contortions of Leo Pinet-
Xxi. He couldn't disloca:e his
joints the way that German
contortionist did or make such
beautifully dramatic gestures as
the perennially popular Mr..
Londos. but it was interesting
to see him pit his bulk against
the speed and skill of smaller
men.
When he went to the Coast,
Dean became the idol of the
movie studios. It was a picture
to see him strolling, beard and
all, among the Harlows and the
Cagneys and Logs. And when
he wreStled, the kings and
queens of the gabby flickers
bought their way in to see him.
He became the best drawing
card in California. and even
tually was builS up, as they say,
for a match with Londos.
Jim Forgets Self
Jimmy probably was a little
impatient that night. He didn't
fool around much with Dean
and eventually threw him out Of
the ring.
The former Miami traffic po-
liceman insisted it was all a
great big mistake. His movie
friends believed him. and the
stage was set for another match.
AS sort of warm-up, the Man
Mountain took on Chief Little
Bear. and the Indian rendered
him unconscious by also throw.
ing him out of the ring. That
should have ruined a Londos.
Dean match, but it didn't,
Jimmy repeating his triumph,
as all reasonable people be-
lieved he would.
Then the Mountain decided
he might as well toss Chief Lit
tie Bear and get himself back
into the good graces of the
grease-painted boys and girls.
Unfortunately, he was dumped,
and unless he plays the South
or the Canadian wilds, 1 don't
know exactly where Man Noun
tain Dean can draw big gates
again.

Tech game last Friday when the
Manual Trainers were defeated,
Is to 20, the Lincoln Parkers
should win these two clashes with

Coach Guyon'S lads looked very
good in that thrilling fracas with
Tech. Levelle "Dopey" Dean was
the most sensational player. Of
course, but the others cavorted
as if they had finally found them
selves after trying period OF ad'
juStment.
Works Wonders
A changed lineup went into
action and it seemed to work
wonders. Gay Edelin, star guard,
was at forward. Fred Scheible
was at a guard post instead of
forward while Bucky Bucholz and
Chick Hollidge divided the game
at left forward. Bud Shaner was
still at center-and an improved
center over other performance in
the series, while "Dopey" Dean
continued at his usual guard post.
Against both Central and West
ern this week, this lineup should
continue right on where it left
off in the Tech battle. It'll be
offered opposition in each in
stance, particularly from the
Georgetowners who are only one
game behind for first place hon
ors. but the power of "Dopey"
Dean and the balance of Shaner,
Edelin,, Scheible and the rest
should take care of any uprisings
that might occur.
Tech in Action
Tech plays Roosevelt tomorrow

at $3.50 Friday, in the other series

Captain Twitty rushing forward, barehanded,
to meet an ilate elephant. There l was,

beast by the trunk an wrastled with him. l

into his head an the battle was over. An as

The Captain gestwed to the gentleman in
the lantern booth, and the screen instantly
revealed the carcass of an elephant. True. a
very close observation would have shown
that this particular elephant had expired not
far from circus lot, but the Captains audi
ence was not inclined to question.
The Captain now demanded food of light.
He stepped to the back of the stage and
dragged Gumbo Saba down front.
Gumbo was, in his own primitive way, even
more impressive than Captain J. Arthur
Twitty In color he was seven shades blacker
than ebony; his shoulders were broad. his
arms long and muscular, his hair had been
shaved save for small round patch at the
top of his skull He wore a grass skirt over
black trunks and his body was literally deco
rated with spirals and cmlicues of glistening
white paint. He jingled with anlxlets and
wristlets; there was a tremendous brass ring
in his fiat nose and rings in his ears. He carried
long spear which. on signal. he thumped
upon the stage while emitting unearthly
howls
Captain Twitty now launched upon that
portion of his narrative which most delighted
his auditors.

Bud disueetly said nothing. Stanza was a

for. her father in a tiny cottage in Tittisville.
Shortly after his arrival in Birmingham,
Captain J. Arthur Twitty had rented fur
nished house from Semoge Mashby and there
he lived with the faithful Gumbo Saba. He
had selected the cottage carefully, since the
good huntsmen did not relish too close neigh
bors. lest prying eyes should see them IN
casual and very m-savage conversation -
their masks comfortably discarded.
The block ON which the Captains cottage
was located had only one other residence:
the Creech house. The oomely Stanza had
been prevailed upon to do some cooking for
the doughty Captain. and a friendship had
resulted.
