 ance at Buckingham

Color, class and considerable var- iety Is spread over the final in- door wrestling card to be presented tomorrow night at Buckingham Hall. From top to bottom the grap- piers are paired in such manner as to figure on continuous entertain ment throughout the evening, start- ing with 6 20 minute bout between Johnny Butwell, the NaugatucE Lithuanian lad and satis Kalvaiti' of Philadelphia in . light-heavy- weight test of strength that should be pleasing enough while 1t lasts.
 Promising
 Abe Stein of New York, grappling idol of the Jewish fans and Lilo Nardi of Torrington should provide the real thrills of the card for they are paired in the windup spot and must go % minutes or until either man has scored two falls. Stein has strength, wrestling knowledge and plenty of "color" to recommend him, as his two tusselS with Karl Pojello proved beyond doubt and in Nardi he will be meeting the dumbest looking "smart" wrestler of his career, for Nardi has been around for long time and knows very well what the mat game Is all about
 Action Galore
 Tn addition, the bout that is be- lieved capable of matching the stein-Nardi tussel as an attraction will bring Maurice Leo Cavell, the New York physical culturist and Anthony Milano, bull necked Masked Marvel" who has shown in this city on two occasions. The pair should put on one of the most exciting performances of the five bouts billed. In the other bout, Ben. ito Bonica, Long Island University student will hoo kup with Chief Pol. 10, an Oklahoma Indian while James Doyle, Columbia University student is paired with Sammy Kleir of New York City, in 30 minute match.

 The sufferer was Mrs. Helen Wills Moody, usually the most impertur- able of women. encountered her in tho marbles halls of the Grand Central galleries, where she has an exhibition of 2i paintings, and she was more upset than ever on the court, even when her opponent stood at match point.
 I talked with her as she stood under one of her oils-Pink Ele- phant Ears with Purple Violets, l believe 1t was titled-and she was In Q dither. Not because of the painting, understand, Pink Elephant Ears with Purple Violets is very well done, and shows Q very sure fore- hand and baclhand with the paint brush. She was in Q dtth because she didn't know whether she should catch Q boat for England to help the United states in the Wightmarl Cup matches and to defend her wimbledon championship, or return to San Francisco and husband Fred Moody.

Of course, I might mol win, but I don't like to think about that"
 I asked her why she didn't get or c boat and go, # she cared ss much? After all, I pointed out. mint of her paintings had been sold, a better than $500 per painting, and celebration was in order.
 "xes," she answered, mine hAvl been sold, and ! feel SO inspired but the tennis schedule this year 60 confusing. If ! went 10 Englans for the Wightmsn Cup and Wimble don.
