Auto Accident Gave Duseks' Cousin Big Chance
(Walter Dusek makes his first Waterbury showing Friday night at Buckingham halI.)

The Duseks, all four of them, Rudy, Emil, Ernie and Joe, were going strong and making not only mat history by piling up victory after victory but also were wrestling before turn away audiences.
 The Durable Duseks became known as the Riot Squad, for the Simple reason they believed and still do believe, in handling their foes as best suited them and not according to Commission Code.
 News of the success reached the ears of their fellow townsmen in Omaha. Soon they became the envy of all. Here and there youngsters practiced holds. They wanted to become wrestler and do just like the DuSek neighbors were doing.
 In order to make it 8 family af- fair, cousin, Charley Stanton, got the bug bad. No sooner did the idea come up than presto his name was read in print of the various sports pages. Charles Stanton was making good as a bone twister.
 He didn't believe in capitalizing on the Dusek name, which isn't their correct name either, Hason, being the family monaker. Stanton was satisfied to travel along the mat highway in his own manner as a grappler of merit. Charley was a newcomer making good from the very start. He meant to succeed in Ioic n oxxy V1rofncciova or,d how 1x,olI ho has done is attested by the news that Stanton was in great demand by the promoters, not only here, but in Canada and Europe as well.
 Stanton did a lot of traveling- saw action in practically every mat center in the universe. He proved a tough hombre; his every move being similar to the styles employed by the famous Big Four. In 1886 he was already an established wrestler, who could well handle himself in any kind of company.
 Hard Luck
 On July 28, 1886, Emil, next in age to Rudy. the eldest. met with 8 severe accident when the automo- bile, in which he was a passenger, struck a stone abutment, about a mile above Harve De Grace, Md. He suffered severe injuries, includ- ing compound fractures of the right leg and ankle.
 This put Emil on the side lines and the DuSek combination was broken up temporarily. The fans got to know the Big Four and the pro- motors demanded Rudy to convince his brother, Walter, to wrestle so that the Mailing Nebraska Quartet should continue in their field as though nothing occurred to interrupt them.
 Walter refused but suggested get ting Cousin Charley Stanton to fill the gap left vacant by Emils un- fortunate injury. Rudy took the advice and contacted Cousin Waffle to come east to help out in the pinch. The first thing Rudy did was change Charley's name to Wal lie Dusek in honor of his brother, who suggested the latter's entry.
 Charley, from now on you are Waffle Dusek and I Want You to be 2 DuSek in manner and action. You know what the public expects of us and 1t is up to you to see that our regulations are not beSmirched," was the blunt way 'Poppa' Dusek put it to his relative.
 Just watch me. If you aren't satisfied let me know. I don't be- lieve in blowing my own horn, but often fans took me for one of you and I naturally had to convince them that I a Dusek in action as well as a Dusek in relationship, said the filler-in.'
 Patrons of the sport think the newest acquisition is by far rougher than the Brother Members. His brand of roughness has been un- known heretofore by the Bohemian Batterers. He made the grade and is a fitting annex to the post left vacant by Emil. Waffle Dusek stands feet inch tall; hits the scales at 236 pounds; and is a real fighting fury in action.
