.zAHARIAS GOLF.
WIZARD ALONG.
WITH MONTAGUE.
BY BOB ADDIE

When more versatile gentlemen
are found, they'll probably be lurk-
ing in the wrestling business. Most
of the Omen" (groaner, in this
case) have another racket on the
side. DR.. John Murphy, for in
stance, is a physician. Laverne
Baxter is reputed to be an air.
plane jockey; Joe Savoldi wants
to be a sheriff and Bronko Nagur-
ski spends his odd moments play
ing football.
Now comes gentleman. who is
appearing on Joe Turner's wreS-
ting show Thursday night (what
a coincidence), who claims the
golfing title of the grunting
league. His name is George Ia
hariaS and he is matched with
Jake Patterson, former Syracuse
athlete, who used his diploma to
get into the Marine Corps.
PLAYED WITH STARS
Zaharias halls from Los Angeles,
and the news services usually show
him playing a round of golf with
Bing Crosby, Richard Arlen and
other gentlemen of the silver sheet.
Every time we've seen George, he's
been leaning on golf club, which
leads one to suspect he must have
worked on one of those WPA road
construction jobs at some time in
his career.
If you care to hear any more,
George is bosom pal of that leg
endary figure, John Montague.
There's supposed to be only one
man stronger than Monty out on
the Coast and-you guessed it,
it's ZahariaS. CYou must have
peeked at the bottom of the story.) |
Maybe Zaharias can take a couple |
of divotS out of Jake's carcass
Thursday night. We never heard
of Patterson, so par for him must
be about Is minutes.
Here's a funny one. The wreS.
Ting notices tell us that Bobby
Bruins, who meets Orville Brown
in the feature match, is "a Chi
cago Scot" If we remember cor
rectly, Bruins wrestled in New
York couple of years ago and
was then billed as The Gorgeous
German"
HOW THEY CHANGE
There were stories that Bruins
was so handsome, the gals in Ber.
lin practically forced him to run
over to America, where handsome
guys are two for a nickel. So, a
couple of years later, Bobby turns
up as a Chicago Scot" It just
goes to prove what wrestling can
do to b man. It changes his birth
place, nationality and character,
but never his act. Those boys
could wiring tears from an income
tax collector when they writhe
with pain on the canvas.
A couple of holdovers are on
the card and three newcomers
make their appearance here. The
old hands are Chief Thunderbird
and Ivan Vacturoff, who will op-
pose each other. The "debutantes"
are Bobby Wendish, Eddie King
and Nick Elich. (What, no Ter
rible Turks or Horrible Hindus?)
WendiSh faces King, and Elich
meets Boris Demitroff, the Rus
sian refugee, via Hoboken, N. j.

MADRAS, India, Dec. 26. The
Rev. Leslie Moss, United States del

There is strong feeling that as

justice to small as we'll as large ma

through the partly opened window,
enough of the discussion to give him
an idea of the plans that were being
made.
The acknowledged leaders against
the Nazi movement are political or
military refugees with scores to set

in Czecho-Slovakia have been
brought or sent there by their
leaders from countries of certain
refuge. Many are former officers in
the German Army, who for one rea-
son or another left the Reich to
engage in activity against the gov
ernment.
Naturally, many of the workers on
both sides are known to each other

The same night the room of the
anti-Nazi agent was turned upside

seeking political documents. The
next day he accused the man with
whom he had been talking of keep
ing him engaged in conversation
while others went through his lug
gage. The casual answer of the Nazi
campaigner was merely:

But Czech police, aware of the
potential possibilities of the danger
Gus situation, have ordered strict

doubt about a persons identity the
police may ask for a personal inter-

But much slips by under the

openly that they are travelling under
false identities-and shown the pic
