Above is an exact likeness of one'
Matty Matsuda one-time Japanese
inatman and now king of all the
world's welterweight wrestlers. Pos-
sibility that he may come here to
wrestle in the very near future was
expressed Sunday by members of
the John Hanson American Legion
post'athletic committee.
It is the growing belief in this
neck that the local ringsters are
growing slightly fed up on boxing
and. ever anxious to please the Le-
•'on is making tentative plans to
stag** a high class wrestling card.
Another possibility for a local
visit is Bull Montana not so long
ago handsome man of the movies.
Mr. Montana was a wrestler of some
note before the lure of the Klcig
lights became too strong and in
recent months he has returned to
his first love.
No definite arrangements as to
date or place have been made those
interested in the events say but it
is admitted that negotiations arc
under way vvith both Matsuda and
Bull Montana.
