BORED, DOUG?
YOU'RE INVITED
TO MAT MATCH
Casey Wants Filler as
Guest at DuSek Bout
BY BOBBIE ADDIE

ny DODDAE ADDAE
Dave Herman, drum-beater for
Joe Turner's wrestling Spectacles,
thrust a pink slip of paper before
our eyes and gloomily commented
that lit cost six potatoes"
The slip was a copy of a
cable presumably sent by Steve
"Crusher" Casey to Douglas CORR
gan, the boy who fastened a Joy
stick to a couple of retired pieces
of junk and rainbowed across the
Atlantic to Ireland. Now Mr..
Casey is a professional wrestler,
and recognized by his manager,
his seven brothers and most of
New England as the champion
of the world.
STEVE LIKES DOUG
The "Croosher" meet Ernie
Dusek in defense of his title at
Griffith Stadium tonight, and
looking at the headlines which
told of the arrival in New York of
the intrepid Corrigan, Steve told
himself:
"Shure, now, and Oil be
after invitin' the lad to see me
bate the likes of this Dusek-
bad cess to him"
Anyway, that's what Joe Turner
says Dave Herman said Steve
Casey said. Of course, the fact
that all New York will be heaving
phone books and ticker tape at
Corrigan, as he rides up Broad
way in the most enthusiastic re-
ception since Lindbergh's time,
doesn't bother our local entrepre-
neurs. The fact, too, that Cor
rigan is the biggest name in the
news today didn't influence the
invitation. You see, it's only be-
cause Doug is Irish and Steve is
Irish. Turner might have invited
one of the boys who work for
James Butler or the A. and P. But
Joe sort of likes Corrigan's smile
that's what.
SHOOTING MATCH
But with or without the amaz-
ing Mr.. Corrigan, the Casey-Dusek
match has its appeal. The
Crusher, a mighty man, as rugged
as his native Irish soil, has never
been defeated. Up around New
England, in the heart of the Irish
population, Casey is an idol and
his appearance is the occasion for
a holiday.
Ernie Dusek promises this will
be another shooting match" and
so far he hasn't disappointed.
While numerous Duseks have been
dotting the wrestling landscape
for years, none has ever been a
champion and the clan is hopeful
Ernie can turn the trick tonight.
AS far as physical equipment
goes, Ernie runs second to Steve.
But, at that, it would take a tent
full of elephants to match Casey's
strength. The old editorial writer's
who used to sheer at our athletes
and say an ape would tear a
wrestler or boxer apart, would be
aghast if they saw Casey. We
guarantee that one look at the
Crusher and Gargantua would
take it on the lam.
EVEN ON ABILITY
In wrestling experience, how
ever, Dusek rates better than an
even chance. Ernie is a great
wrestler when he wants to be,
having learned in the old school
before the college kids changed
the game with their flying tackles
and dropkicks. Whatever hap
pens, the faithful few will have
plenty to- get excited about.
Paul Bosch, who is working his
way up as the No. l hero, tackles
Jack League in the semifinal.
. mil Dusek, Ernie's big brother,
appears against George Kondylis
in one of the Commute bouts. The
other bouts will show Ed MeSke
against Ed Newman and Walter
Podolak against Bibber Mccoy.

next Tuesday. Bound for the

and BETTY MECKLEY, who
has postponed her vacation to

summer that it looks like she
will be here until the fall brings
bigger and better local tourna-

BETTY has been training for
