And, it hadn't been many moments mo-ments ago that pandemonium reigned at Timp park as an aftermath after-math of the fracas, which, ended in a near free-for-all. Gypsy Joe had to; have a police escort to get to H-is dressing room and the fans had trailed along behind, expecting ex-pecting additional fireworks when he and Mayne came face to face with each other again. Nothing Happens But nothing happened. Mayne and the Gypsy merely exchanged icy glares and went on with their dressing. Mayne got dressed first and left. Now it was strangely silent both' inside and outside the dressing room. Outside only Gypsy Joe, a 10-year-old boy and the boy s father remained.. Gypsy Joe had his hand on the boy's shoulder and he was talking to him just -as if he had been the boy's uncle, while the father stood nearby listening and watching with keen interest. The boy's name was Clifford Holt Jr., and his father, a friend of the colorful Globetrotter, had brought hirri into the dressing room to meet the wrestler. , It was a scene few wrestling fan! could believe if they didn't see it. For, here was the Gypsy, who most fans would class as an uncouth, mean, rough and tough character, standing there with his hand on the boy's shoulder telling him how to grow up so he could become big and strong. Interested Irv Them It was a Gypsy Joefew people know and appreciate . a kind-hearted Gypsy with a gr: love for the kids and a great interest in-terest in their problems. "You know, son," the power fully-built, superbly-conditioned Gypsy said, patting . the lad's shoulder, "I wasn't as big as you are when I was your age." "I was just a little guy. If you want to grow big and strong be sure and eat lots of cereals, fruits and vegetables and get lots of sleep and exercise. And be sure and .keep your body clean. That's how champions are made.".. It wasn't ' any idle talk the Gypsy was giving the youngster who by now was completely at home and at ease with the Globetrotter. Globe-trotter. The Gypsy knows where- e speaks. The Provo fans may hate film-more than death but all of them will have-touadmit the Gypsy is one - ftae - TysteriBect4 men. " - Seldom Sees Him There are those who maintain that the Gypsy could whip any three guys currently wrestling in xnese parts an on the same night and either individually or col lectively. In speaking of the Gypsy, his wife recently said l seldom see him except on the nights he 'wrestles, because he spends so much of his time working out to keep in first class pnysical condition." ' L. - After last Monday night few fans will question r the bull-shouldered bull-shouldered Globetroter's physical condition or fitness or his ability to take care of himself.

Appeared Dead -Tired By the end of the third or fourth round of Monday night's so-called boxing bout, Mayne ap peared dead tired and . about out oh his feet. The Gypsy on the other hand, was still going strong at the finish and didn't even appear ap-pear to be breathing hard, despite de-spite the fact he had been floored four or five times early in the fight as Mayne hit him with everything he had. "He's just too tough for the rest of the guys around here, there's no use denying it," one fan remarked after the battle. ' And now' the Gypsy stood just outside the dressing room door, telling this youngster, Cliff Holt Jr., the importance of living a clean life and how to grow up and become big and -strong. "Just remember what I told you," he said giving the, lad a final pat - on the shoulder. Cliff -Jr. turned took a hold of his father's hand and they started start-ed to walk off into the darkness. He had discovered a new triencj. More than that he had discovered discover-ed a far different Gypsy Joe from the one that creates a near riot every time he appears in the Pro vo ring and brings down more in dignation and wrath upon his head than any wrestlei ever to come to Provo with the possible exception of Bulldog Clements, He had found a warm-hearted, human Gypsy Joe ...... a guy who likes the kids. t As Cliff Sr. and his son started to walk on "down Vie road; Cliff Sr. turned his head towards Gypsy Joe. "Ya know what, Gypsy," he laughed. "I believe you've accomplished ac-complished more with this kid in five minutes than I could in five years." Gypsy Joe just smiled, walked over to his car got in and drove off. , election Draws Protests By TOM NOONAN- CHESTNUT HILL, Mass., Aug. 17 (U:R).
