Show Detton Wins Weird Bout -IrrMarBill By BILL McCREA j : Robert Burns was writing more truth than poetry when he penned, ine Best laid plana of mica and I men often go astray," because that'i exactly what happened to the "Red Shadow" combine Friday night al the local arena. Like the actor who missed his rue and the man who missed the train, the Shadow's second put the abrupt but ludicrous ending to the main event between the aforementioned afore-mentioned "Red Shadow" and Dean Detton, former world's heavyweight champion. It all happened this way. After each mauler had won a fall apiece an (rrh e-gotng wnr letting rougher in the third canto, the "Shadow" and Detton were in the southeast corner of the ring, with the red-hooded msuler apparently getting the worst of it. It so happens hap-pens that the masked second of the "Shsdow" always occupies a ringside ring-side sest in this area. "Shadow" Gets Mad So Incensed became the "Shadow's" "Shad-ow's" manager that he scrambled to the outside of the ring and let go a punch Intended for Detton. Needless to say. Dean ducked, and the "Shadow" caught the full force of the blow, which wouldn't have broken a rubber balloon, but which incapacitated the "Shadow," never-the never-the less. Detton jumped on the prostrate mauler for the fall and bout. Longson Victor Bill Longson, wrestler, and Jack Romero, boxer, played a game of hide and seek, with the grunt-groaner grunt-groaner the victor in the third round by a pile driver hold. Romero' tactic were to get near the rope and lure Longson to carry the fight; and, when Bill would get any semblance of a hold, Romero would step outside the ring. On Just one occasion did Romero connect with a Mow which really rattled Longson's molars. In other bouts, Sherm Christen-sen Christen-sen and Lee Hennlng drew; Benny Ginsberg defeated Pierre Lafoon, Joe Tontl downed Leo Papiano. and Dick Daviscourt took the measure of George Harben. The next wrestling show will be held Wednesday, December 22. according ac-cording to Promoter Jack Washburn, Wash-burn, because Friday falls on Christmas eve. |
