Show Dean Detton And Longson Goo Draw By BILL McCREA Like a scoreless tis in football a deer hunt without any deer and even a turkey dinner without any trimmings, is a one-hour wrestling tilt which ends in a draw such wai tha cas Friday night at th local arena between Dean Detton and Bill Longson. The only redeeming feature of the Longson-Dettan fray was that for a draw engagement the bout was fairly exciting, with a goodly portion of it being conducted the ropes and In the aisle. For mors than half the bout the two maulers really wrestled and used every hold in the book, but that was too dull, so this old-style mithodwa ditched and Jhe pres-ant-day vaudevillian form put into use. Bill Fools Him The nearest thing to a fall came when Detton had "Wild Willyam" In th toils of a wristlock and arm-strstch. arm-strstch. but Bill used tha old trick of patting Dean's shoulders; and, th former champion, thinking it to be th referee's token of victory, brok th hold. If ever two maulers arnsd their salaries for one hour's work, it was Dstton and Longson on this particular par-ticular occasion. Although a draw fray usually lesves a bad tsats in Mr. Fan's mouth, ths grunt-groan-r really endeavored to put on a show. Maybe local fan hare only been seeing a carbon ropy of the original origi-nal "Red Shadow," brrause the man dressed In red last night waa 10 per cent better than the one which has been appearing for the past six weeks. Tru, this "Red Shadow was rough (a all masked marvels must be), but a much better showman than his predecessor. Lee Henning fell victim to "Th Shadow" In 22 minute of very rough wrestling. Biggest Laugh The biggest laugh In th "Shad-ow"-Henninr scrap was a rabid feminine ringside patron who kept heckling and attempting to unmask th "Shadow'" second, who always parks himself in a ringside ssst. Other results Friday follow: Sherm Chrlstsnssn defeated Aba Friedman, Benny Ginsberg won from Bob Jesson. Georg Harben and Joe Tontl drew, and Wally Thompson was victor ovsr Lo Pap-lano Pap-lano when the Greek roughhouse king was disqualified. |
