And no for the sports of the week ...... After an unsuccessful attempt at professional football, Larry “the baron” Byczynski has joined the wrestling world. This week he is making the second appearance of his wrestling career at Rainbow Arena in Chicago His first appearance in Hollywood was successful over ArgentinaRocca. He has engaged quite a following under the name of Freddie Footlock”. He is usually accompanied to the ring by three perfume-bearing valets. Qiite a crowd is expected. Here is something hot off the wires. Art Tablett, the defending champion of the National Open Marble Tournament now in progress in Phila- delphia, this week gave an exhibition on Super Circus. Listen to this! After the show Art eloped with Mary Hartline. I have a couple of items that may be of interest. A housewife and mother of two children was taking care of her chickens on her small Texas farm when she discovered oil. The former Anna Nicely used to live in Ohio. We used her maiden name because her husband is working on a secret project for the Air Force and the Office of Air Force Intelligence forbids the use of his name. Justice triumphs again as prisoner Bob Lynch began today to serve a sentence at San Quentin for forgery. He was tried and convicted for drawing replicas of famous paintings and selling them for originals. He will probably succeed William ‘‘the weep” who was electrocuted last week as cartoonist for the San Quentin Gazette. His time will be spent on the newspaper and painting license plates. That’s all the news for now so this is Habriel Geatter signing off. Bob Lynch
