The men who made wrestling a
popular sport, Jimmy Londos, re-
Gently returned to the mat game
TO restore the sport, rid the mat of
its colorless champion. Bronko Ma
gurski, and incidentally to earn his
third million dollars.
Except tnat his black hair is a
trifle thinner ana his classical body
a bit thicker. Londos has changed
little since he arrived from Greece
two dozen years ago and introduced
sex appeal into a sport that was
then floundering sadly. At IL, he Is
still the same little fellow, match
ing his speed against the weight
and blubber OF maulers. But, let
Jack Guenther, United Press cor
respondent, take up the story of
Jeemy:
Despite a career longer and more
arduous than that Of any wrestler
save Ed tStrangler) Lewis, Jimmy still
is sleek and handsome, still polish
ed ana affab and, like Old Man
River. still is rolling along. He
claims the reasons he is able to
do 1t are simple.
You take a As caliber revolver
and the bullet has a hard days
work digging into a pine board.
Then you take a .30-.30, use the
same pine board and the slug comes
out the other side. Why? Because,
while there may be more power
in the As. it is too big and en-
counters too much resistance to do
any damage The .30-.30 moves
faster and that is the answer"
Londos is the last active survivor
of the so-called golden era" Of
sport. His life is one of contradic-
tions. He has wrestled in almost
every country in the world, winning
and losing more titles than the
fans know exist. Yet he knows
the difference between who" and

has been up and down and UP
again, but all the while he has
been earning-ani saving-money
in large, coarse chunks, more money
than any wrestler in history.
"Jeemy" is one of the Wealthiest
men in sports today. For this rea-
son a large bloc Of local patrons

the comeback It's actual purpose
is slightly sinister and very COM
plicated, hinging on the Pacific
coast trusts latest attempt to prove
itself bigger than its synthetic
champion, who at the moment is
Bronko Nagurski.
Nagurski prefers football and has
adopted a different attitude toward
the mat. He has thrown every op-
ponent without losing a fall Or his
wide sleepy grin. He has refused
to learn such rudimentary tactics
as Stimulating pain or snarling at
the opposition. The box office re-
cepits have fallen off accordingly,
but Nagurski is too strong to be
toppled.
Hence the Londos importation.
Jimmy will meet a list of top notch
ers then challenge the Bronko. If
he wins, he will earn his pay, and
everybody will be happy but Ma
gurski. If he loses, the trust may
accept Nagurski as genuine
champion. In any event, Jimmy
will go back to his books and back
to guarding the bank account which
is said to top the amazing mark of
S2000,000.

Leaders Of the Committee for In

inee for Governor, in radio address
outlining his attitude toward labor.
Mr.. Bricker minced no words in
attacking yhese groups and the
Communist Party Of Ohio for their
unqualified support of his opponent,
Charles Sawyer.
The Republican nominee declared
that these agencies were attempting
to distort his views upon labor and
that for that reason he had decided
to make clear in unequivocal terms
his position in the matter.
Il believe that labor has the
right to organize he said. Il be-

that Jake Powell, Yankee re. erye
outfielder, who boasted over d Chi

out. No more perplexing problem
than the disposal of Powell has fac

contract represents a tidy sum of
money. For that reason, it must be
sold to the highest bidder.
But Powell's acts, as well as his
action on the field which have re-
suited IN many brawls; make him
persona non grata to nearly every
big league town.
Harlem is up in arms against
Powell and Joe Mccarthy has not
dared use him in local game since
his anti-Negro remark. Philadelphia,
Washington, Pittsburgh, st. Louis,
Chicago, are all out because of their
large Negro populations.
Detroit would hardly care for him

the Tigers get. That definitely mar
