That noise you will he hearing

Navy is the defending cham
pion. and the tourney Saturday
will be the first staged other than
at the Naval Academy, at Annapo

Naturally the MILDLY marksmen
are heavy favorities to cop the
crown again, not only by reason
Of the fact that they are the de

they topped the final standings OF

has just recently been concluded
While the gunfire is in full
blast at Corcoran Hall, similar
sectional events will be staged

of the country. The Eastern
group will assemble at the Coast

CASEY FAVORED
in TITLE BOUT
With GARIBALDI.
By BOB ADDIE

In all the excitement about the
forthcoming appearance Of Mr..
Robert Gregory, whose chief claim
to posterity lies in the fact he
crashed the Cafe Society set by
marrying a real princess, the
rather enormous figure Of Steve
"Crusher" Casey has been passed
up.
The "Croosher" is not a man you
can pass up eaSiy-no more than
you could scale the Empire State
Building with a scooter-but his
noble black head seems inundated
by the flood Of publicity surround
ing the approach Of the Princess
Of Sarawak and her wrestling
hubby. Casey is a wrestler, too,
and he'll display his wares at the
Arena tomorrow night in some
thing that is being whispered
about as a championship match.
TITLE BOUT
Steve claims the title because
of his victory over Louis These,
who ruled one of the northern
branches Of the mythical wrest-
ling kingdom. Gino Garibaldi,
who was last seen here in a
tumbling act with Jesse James,
has been selected as exhibit A
in this instance and will attempt
to ''lift" Casey's title.
The "CrooSher," my dear friends,
is one of six brothers, all Of whose
muscles are piled six feet high.
Steve is the baby, and sure he's
q cute one. He looks like some
thing left over from the last
flood, and his hands would make
marble out Of a regulation bas-
ketball.
Steve is indicated in over 100
matches and it is unlikely Carl
baldi will spoil his record. The
"Croosher" has a standing offer,
they say, of 500 to anyone who
pins his shoulders to the mat. So
proud is he of his record that he
won't even sleep on his back. No,
indeedl
CAN HE WRESTLE?
Little is known about Gregory's
ability as a wrestler. His accom-
plishments as a charmer are un-
disputed because the princess, his
wife, is a pretty fair bundle.
Gregory meets Tony Calisano,
another quantity in K.
The princess should be very nice
to look at anyway. Then. too,
there will be quite a play from the
tea and crumpetS league. We
shouldn't be too much surprised
if they play 'ounds and ares about
Turner's Arena tomorrow night
There will probably be more
monkey suits around the joint
than at a walters ball. Maybe
Uncle Joe Turner will station
Goldie Ahearn at the gate to an
nounce the guests viz: "Mr. and
Mrs. Willie the Clutch; Sir Benny
and Lady Evil Eye: Dick the
Dope" Anyway, it's an idea.
The rest Of the card will find Len
MacaluSo VS.. Cliff Olson; Joe Cox
VS.. Henry Graver, and B Obj
Managoff VS.. Ralph Garibaldi.
