When Jimmy Got Mad
Only one wrestler ever aroused
Lakes Irish temper.
On entering the ring at the
Washington Auditorium, at a
show some 20 years ago, Jimmy
hung his brand new derby on a
ring post. In his tuxedo. embel-
lished with a carnation, and the
iron hat, the old thespian was a
striking, impeccable figure.
Big, fierce, frowning Chief
Chewaki was on the bill.
The derby inspired the Indian
to an extra bit of showmanship.
Suddenly he seized the derby, in
verified it, and whammed it down
on the ring post.
THE noise it made sticks in

a tremendous 'plop!', almost an

Sievers, with 10. or Lemon, with

there. And Ed Yost, with LOT, is
likely to surpass his club record

Wrestling Not AIIHokum,
Jimmy Lake Says at II
By ROD THOMAS

Sports reporters IN particular
and sports fans in vast numbers
look on professional wrestling
with jaundiced eyes. but certain
bitter rivalries produce some gen.
uine rough stuff on and of the
mat.
Our authority for this is Jimmy
Lake, the announcer, who will be
on the job again at Griffith Sta
dunn Monday night when Karl
Won Hess and Antonino Rocca
tangle again.
At n, "Carnation Jimmy" was
one of five men manhandled by
Won Hess when the big guy with
the German name recently cut
up in spectacular style after
Rocca pinned him in show at
Capitol Arena.
Everybody in Washington, it
seems, knows Jimmy. and list
of his we'll wishers would rival
a phone book The day after Won
Hess f1oored him, the phone at
Jimmy'S Ninth Street bistro rang
so often he cut it off rather than
neglect his patrons.
Really Injured Once
ut was gratifying that so many
people were concerned about my
health" Lake said. but wasn't
hurt, just shaken up"
1t was quite different on
another occasion when the ven-
cradle Irishman was caught in a
melee with Hans Kampfer and
Jack Hsder as the principals.
1T got clipped on the neck. "
Jimmy related, land for the next
Is weeks I took diathermy treat
ments."
Easily understandable to Lake,
who spent many years in show
business as actor. producer and
theater owner. are the genuine
rivalries in wrestling which,
strangely, have nothing to do
with skill.
These fellows" he said, take
great pride in their showmanship
and box Office pull. Let one of
them make an exaggerated claim
Of filling a house. and he runs
the risk of filling his hide with
unpaid-for bruises. These feuds
flare up many times in the
dressing rooms. and some of the
brawls are brutal"
A Rash Of Bruises
The most bruised man he ever
saw, Lake recalled, was villain
Rudy Dusek.
"Dusek." he said, was matched
with Danno O'Mahoney in YAM
kee Stadium in a match billed
for the world championship,
with Dusek the challenger. 1t
seemed as if most of the Irish
cops in New York were there to
keep order.
ITO reach the ring, Dusek
walked between two lines of EN-,
there to protect him. The cops
made it appear Rudy was a
mighty popular fellow. He
hardly could take a step without
being slapped on the back or
arms, or given a friendly kick
or kneeing.
We'll. O'Mahoney won, and
the next night Dusek wrestled
in Washington. Noticing the
bruises. I said; You look as if
OMahoney did a job on you
"'O'Mahoney, hell he said.
You mean those New York
