Wrestling Comes Back

Even the most optimistic person present in Buckingham hall last night at 2 o'clock could not hope for more than 200 fans to find their way into the place with the idea of looking at the first wrestling show Waterbury has seen in more than two years. Yet, ct going home time, there were at least 1000 fans who filed out of the hall gabbing about the grappling and comedy they had seen throughout the evening, one of them putting the situation this way: Well, they certainly give you your moneys worth" Among those most Sur- prised at the healthy turnout Of fans, which came in the face of sub-zero weather, Q basketball game and Q minstrel show, was Promoter George Mulligal1 and Athletic Com. missioner Joe Lawlor, neither of whom could account for it, in view. of the dismal failure of patronage to local mat shows on ct least five previous occasions from 1934 and beyond. All were favorable to the fine performance put on by Karl Pojello, orphan of the New York wrestling trust, who Is willing to grappie with any man in the country, his record of 20 years backing him like Q steel wall. But the fans themselves provided Q mystery that no one has yet ex- plained successfully.

.LITCHFIELDERS AND HOPEv|LLE CLASH TONIGHT Cowboys of the Court Ops pose Speedboys at
 School Gym

Coach Ray French of the Hope. vile Community club speedboys has booked another fine attraction for the feature game of the weekly double -header tonight in the Hope- vile school gym. The famed Cow boys, of Litchfleld, lassoes and ell will be the opposition in a game which should test the real strength of the Speedboys who have been having one of the toughest sched- ules the "Ville" team has ever booked. The Hot Points of Bridge port being the only club able enough to capture a series from the Speedboys. The speedboys hold vic. tories over the City Amateur league champs of the past year, the Brook lyn A. O., Danbury Big Five, Tor. rington YMCA and the Fairfield Townies. Manager Tony Bergin of the Cowboys is expected to start his regular lineup which includes Guy Zinzer, leading scorer in the Tor. rington City Amateur league, Lee Porter, Gus Sanford, former all. state center selected at the tourney conducted at Conn. State college several years ago, on the defense the Cowboys will show Williams, Baldi and Comprini. The Speedboys will start their regular lineup with Harry Dubuque and Henie Koch at the forwards, Big Dave" Bartolini at the pivot with Beef" Mazzarella and Frank O'Donnell in the back court. It is expected that Roy Du- buque, star of the Speedboys of the champion era, 1928 through 1920. has been working out with the team for several weeks and is ex. pected to play at one of the guard positions for part of the game. His experience should benefit the club for the balance of the season. A pre- liminary game beginning at 7:30 brings together the Centray Y Leaders and the Hopeville Juniors. Between games the athletic com. mittes will again show another fine program of entertainment. The lineups:
 Hopeville-H. Dubuque If, Koch If, Bartolini c, o'Donnell rg, J. Mazzarella lg.

LOU BROUILLARD
 QUITS FRANCE
Worcester Fighter Cannot Get Fair Deal in French
 Fistic Rings

Paris, Jan. 24-(UP)-Lou Brouil- lard, Worcester, Mass, middle weight, today announced he had cancelled all his contracts for bouts in France and will leave shortly for the United States. The American said he was convinced that he can. not get fair treatment in Q Euro pean ring.
 Brouiiiards action resulted from his disqualification in his middle weight title bout with Marcel Thil of France Monday night. The bout was awarded to Thil on Q foul in the fourth round, but most of the crowd protested the decision. Georges Carpentier, former Euro. pean heavyweight champion, rushed to Brouillard's defense, saying that the American had won on c clean knockout and had not fouled Thil.
 Tricks?
 The official films contributed to Brouillard's decision. When they were shown yesetrday, they failed to show anw evidence of . foul and 1t is believed that they were cut after being viewed privately.
 Brouillard said he is willing to meet Thil for charity, providing Carpenter is appointed the sole judge.
 The Swiss referee who disqualified Brouillard filed charges against him, alleging ungentlemanly and unsportsmanlike conduct in threat ening him after the fight.

M M'G0VERN WAS| MOST. VICIOUS OF|
 FIGHTING MEM
Jack Johnson Had Best Defense of Any Ringfnan,
 Past or Present
BY HARRY CRIMSON Sports Editor, NEA Service

New York, Jan. 24-Joseph Ed- ward Humphreys will talk Terry AGc0overn until your face is as blue as his classic Celtic counte- nance is purple. The daddy of an. nouncers reveres the memory of the little Mick from the slums of south Brooklyn with whom he rose to international prominence.
 ssThe most vicious fighter that these tired eyes have seen in 50 years, or since I was old enough to remenber?" says Joe the Beaut. 'sThat is Q very simple question. He also was the best fighter that I ever set my bulbs on. You may have heard of him.
 "EIis name was Joseph Terrence Mc0Overn. He was in full stride when he weighed from ll4 to 122 pounds. At his peak, 1t would have been Q shame to match most of the better weiters with him. You know that he got it into his head that an old Irish woman put the curse on him just before he was knocked out by Young Corbett. He was scrappin' with his wife, and"
 But let's get away from Terrible Terry, or we'll be here all day and most of the night.
 Humphreys goes along with everybody else whose privilege 1t was to see Young Qrif5o in that the Australian was the cleverest boxer of them all. Then the star spieler mentions Jesn Driscoll and Abe At tell, also feathers. What? No Joe Cans. Yes, the famous mouthpiece has Q high regard for the Old Mas. ter.

POJELO PLEASES WRESTLING FANS IN BUCK BOUTS
Fans Turn Out Strong for Mat Revival-Kahn and
 Tragas Draw

With the largest crowd ever to attend a Waterbury wrestling show on hand, despite two counter at fractions and zero weather, five eri- tertaining bouts were presented last night at Buckingham hall in a re- incarnation of the sport that sur- prised all hands. Nearly 1000 fans from thic city, Naugatuck and Win sted were well-pleased as Karl Po- jello, winner over Jim Londos in one of four bouts put Paul Paul. asky, an ear-scrombling Pole out of commission with crotch hold, body slam and airplane spin in two straight falls to wind up the Ave- bout program which showed nine different nationalities among ten contestants.
 Pojellos work was especially pleasing to the fans who follow WI ,stling and can call the various holds and counters by their middle names. Paulasky proved to be Q tough little round man of 2i5 pounds, but when Pojello, @ Lith- uanian who holds the European championship put on the pressure Paul was bounced out of the picture, the frs time in 18 minutes 52 sec- onds and the second time in about eight minutes.
 Dismissed
 Pat Reilly, billed as the Irish Terror" was disqualified for at- tempting to shut off the breath of Giovanni Bonica, Q handsome young man who knows his grap- ples, though the bout did not end before the boys banged one another around with mutual glee for the better part of 20 minutes.
 For out and out comedy, Hercu- les Tragas, Q Greek with the girth of a gargoyle took the honors as he yanked at Q pair of oily black mus tachios adorning the moon-face of Gaffur Kahn, heafty Hindu with a makeup that would put Joe E.. Brown and Bert Lahr to shame. Gaffar and the Greek grimaced at each other so earnestly that diplo- matic relations could have been severed with Q wooden sword. They went t) Q draw and what e picture they presented.
 Head Work
 Sam Monaker who claims Colum- bia university as @ stamping ground put his skull into the middle of Feodor Sadoff, Q furtive Russian who was headed into a coma within 20 minutes of a rough and tumble session that was particularly pleas- ing. Johnny Butwell of Naugatuck had the crowd with him but exper- fence against him as Pete Sturgis tossed the New England middle- weight champ to the mat in 10 minutes of the opening bout, 0 20. minute time limit affair.
 Another card of bouts will be pre-. sented within two weeks.
