Louisans May Imped Stran gle- Condition Bout Here Thursday. Nine months have flitted through the ropes of wrestling rings since Ed Lewis, the Strangler, last groaned, grunted and wheezed his way to victory in this municipality. On Thursday night St. Louisans will have another opportunity to judge in their discriminating and fastidious manner whether age and the carefree aptitude for a gay life have as yet made noticeable inroads upon the 241 -pound wrestling machine, or 1 whether Lewis still remains a challenger to Time and an excellent' wrestler. Just one week ago as the time.

flies, Lewis defended what passes for the world title in the state of New York and won a match on a foul from Ray Steele. His physical condition at that much-discussed affair has been conflictingly reported. His faction and its adherents maintain he was and still is in superb condition. They say he rigor ously drilled himself to combat Steele's generally known plan of'; wearying him. They say he did all manner of arduous work at the training camp of Ous Wilson, par ticularly chopping enough cord wood to last Gus all winter.

The Steele camp and 1U protagonists contend the "old man" appeared out of condition, was afraid of his younger foe and "took the easiest way out with one of Mr. Cur- ley's referees holding the door open." Both groups can't be right, so 8t. Louisans had better attempt to decide the matter themselves If they feel so inclined. Scrutiny at the ringside will probably be considered only with Lewis condition, and not his age. when he jumps Into the ring against Sandor Ssabo, the scientific -and scrappy Hungarian.

In the fea-' ture at the Coliseum ring. As to old age, what of it in this quaint, humorous game of mauling? 1 Doesn't Stanislaus Zbyszko, that hardy 'century plant, continue to bloom? Doesn't his bald pate con- tlnue to defy the laws of age and fate? Didn't he, only five days ago in Milwaukee, easily triumph over1 a husky young athlete named Hans Bauer?" Promoter William Berberich is arranging four other tidbits for his wrestling public One other match he has booked. This will be between Ivan Vakturof the former Russian Cossack, and Mike Romano, the Ital. ian who sometimes introduces variety in his performance by parading as the "Masked MarveL" Sid Westrick, a more or less unknown Hungarian to St. Louisans, will be introduced in a preliminary.

Marshall's 'Double-Header' Foes Are Dusek and Kaapftr The challenge of Manager Wll-, liam Sandow's boastf ulness has been accepted and the ability of Everetto Marshall will be given the double test December 21 at the Arena when the blond star will be matched against two topnotch opponents. Rudy Dusek and Hans Katnpfer. Dusek was booked last Friday while Kampfer was announced aa the oth- a er opponent today. Kampfer has requested a two-hour limit be placed upon the "double-header" but this detail, along with the selection of the referee and which wrestler will be the first to' oppose Marshal, are matters to be decided upon later. Marshall has defeated John Katan.

Paul Jones. Dama Ostopavlch and Pat O'Shocker in St. Louis and his demands for a title match with Jim Londos have become hoUy insistent. scores. With the old-timers, skill doesn't count so much as the possibilities of the game as a sharpener of appetites and excuse for refreshments.

A Real Commander. ADAM STRUMBERG is the head man" in the rathskeller. He could be called the manager, but he's more active than the average manager. Besides keeping the place as tidy and trim as a battleship on Inspection Day, he flies out in the kitchen now and again to watch this and look at that, all the time lending an err as the waitresses fan with the customers and keeping close tab on the working of the cash register. Jack Boyle, an Irishman, leads his All-Americans through musical selections and Otto Schultzmeister couldn't be more serious about his work.

Viola Cullman and Elsie 8temmer serve as waitresses. Oood ones. German girls always smile so sweetly. Harry Kessler, the fistic referee, was a diner. He gave a lengthy order, winding up with French-fried potatoes.

The waitress repeated word for word, except at the end she said. "German-fried potatoes." Harry corrected her and repeated his choice. Again she rattled off the order, exactly as given, except at the end she again said, "German-fried potatoes!" This time there was an impatient ring to her voice and Harry waved surrender. ERMAN people seem to get so much more kick out of life. Other nationalities and socie ties can get together and break out their merriment and giggles, but the German type of frivolity Is so Infectious, clean, wholesome and, above alL far less costly.

Down In South St. Louis, on Lafayette near Jefferson, some sixty German clubs and associations banded together in 1938 and erected a large aur-story build ing con taming ballrooms, meeting halls, bowling alleys, dining-rooms and a spacious auditorium with accomodations for 1.200 without crowding, as Max Zimmerman, the manager, so thoughtfully explains. It's the German House, Inc, financed by a group of pioneer St. Louisans for the people of German extraction who wish to get together and dance, dine, drink and a few hats without annoying their neighbors. Various Unions Meet There.

WHILE it is primarily a German Institution with Teutons in charge to a man, other races are by no means barred. Besides the sixty German clubs that meet there regularly, the German House is the headquarters of fourteen other bodies. Including the Teamsters' Union, the Bread Wagon Drivers and that very tasty and particular band of young women known as the Waitresses' Union. There's likewise a number of offices occupied by dentists and doctors, to eay nothing of a few osteopaths scattered here and there about the premises. ZIMMERMAN takes a flashlight and tours the structure from top to bottom for benefit and education of all cornel's, going back to open the Inspection at the front door In case the visitor missed anything when he came in.

The lobby of the place is a takeoff on the midways found in many big railroad stations of modern municipalities. Doors by the dozens open Into numerous chambers stuck at angles that would baffle an escape artist. Private parties and dances and a couple of costume balls were going on down there Saturday night and the bright gowns and dresses would have taken the edge off a hop fiend dream. FF to one side "mamma and papa" were celebrating one of their many wedding anniversaries. Most of the quaint old characters were long past their prime, but one and all were having a merry time, singing, dancing, devouring sand wiches and telling Emll to hurry up with some refreshments.

Across the hall a crowd of young people pranced and capered as a piano player tried time and again to fin ish three bars ahead of the horn-blower, two fiddlers and a drummer. Six big doors at the rear of the lobby led into the auditorium, dark Saturday n'ght, but all set for German Theater of Sunday with scenery, drops, wings and other paraphernalia to rival any stage in the city. GUS MUELLER, manager of the bowling alleys, cut in at this time to say an even dozen singing societies, or saengerbunds, as they are affectionately called, meet regularly at this point. Zimmerman, in the meantime, was bounding along at the head of the exploring party, quoting facts and figures like a human almanac. There are eleven halls in all, he was saying: one large ball room, four "pretty big" ones and six smaller halls to be used for private parties, meeting rooms, euchre carnivals and now and then occasional lotto festivals.

A mod ern youth in the party remarked off-handedly that the little halls would make ideal places for dice competition, but, then, there's always that three-floor leap In case of cops. Mueller Runs the Alleys. MUELLER, by the way, is In command of a spick and span bowling hall housing twelve regulation alleys. Gus. himself, was once a local cue celebrity and was even so good as to be dubbed a "shark" by many of his hapless victims.

He has a few pocket billiard tables set at convenient corners of the gymkhana, but with Gus tenpins are now the big topic. The German Ladies' Scratch League, said to be Just about the fastest feminine bowling circuit in the city, performs on Mueller's alleys, and numbers among its stars Myrtle Schulte, former national women's champion; Margie Summers, Ann Uhlen, Mrs. Jim Wilson, Mrs. Al Werder and other prominent bowling people. PAUL BINGHAM rates respect and get it when he takes the alleys down there.

Paul upset a grand total of 709 pins in three games several weeks ago. and the people of that neighborhood point him out as he struts along.

UPSET VICTORY OVER Sua TEAM Tail-Enders Show Una sua I Punch as They Win, 6-1, on Snow-Covered Field.

BY CHARLES (KID) REGAN. Appearances may be deceiving, just as someone once remarked, but te tail-end Ben Millers have spent las past two weeks looking like the best team in the professional soccer league. Besides, they hung up a league record yesterday afternoon at Sportsman's Park when they scored a 6-1 victory over the leading Stix team on a snow-covered field, registering more goals than any other team has been able to kick in one game this season. Then, to make it a full afternoon of shocks and thrills, the Andersons climbed back on their winning stride and dusted off the Kava-naughs, 3 to 1, in the other contest. The snow was some three or four inches deep all over the field and kept clever passing at a minimum, but it didn't seem to handicap the usually crude style of the Millers, who went right to work to score three times in fifteen minutes at the expense of the leaders.

Stix Stars Cautious. Alec McNab, Bill Watson, Bill McPherson and, others of the foreign-born cUqueMmported to carry the Stix through for the season, displayed a distinct caution and acted like fellows who wished tb keep their feet and remain in the game of soccer long after their reckless opponents have called it a career. Kane counted twice In the opening minutes of the brawl and Nash gave his mates another score to take the fans' attention away from the penalty box, and "Buddy" Brengle's strong bid to be the firs occupant of this zone recently set aside for players pitched out of the competition at the discretion of the referee. Brengle, an unruly sort of a lad, was a top-heavy favorite to baptize the penalty box, and came near living up to expectations late in the game when he took a dislike to Bob Gregg's method of warding off thrusts at the Stix goal. Gregg had checked several of Brengle's attempts to get familiar with the Stix net and had just turned a fine de fensive play by breaking up one of "Buddy's" rallies when young Mr.

Brengle thought seriously of learn lng whether or not Gregg would bounce if dropped suddenly in the snow. "Buddy" thought better of the matter, however, and the fans were denied the opportunity to razz the first occupant of the new pen alty box. Tate Brady Returns. Tate Brady had returned to the kicking game as manager of the league leaders and it was anything but an auspicious start for the vet eran nilot. Of course, there's al ways that snowy condition to fall back on in explaining this unexpected victory by the Millers, but they had scored five goals last Sunday at the expense of the Andersons and had given due notice that they intended opening a winter offensive; The Andersons went back on their winning stride in the other fracas.

Ed Grenon sent the Kavanaughs away to a lead with a goal in the first half, but Dueker, McAuliffe and Cronin toed in for the Andersons later in the battle. Dueker. by the way, was making his debut on the Anderson forward line and looked like a find. The lad had been goaling for the second-placers, and was none too handy as a goal defender, but up there on the forward line he gave a fine performance and indicated that maybe the Andersons will be hard to fight off before this pennant business is settled in the soccer loop.

1 I After Escape Combined Names of Italian Liberator and Strong Man for His Public Career. BY HARRY T. BRLNDIDGE. Copyright, 1933. by The Star-Chronicle Publishing Company.

THE SIREN on the top of the towering, black tipple of the coal mine at DowelL 111., sounded dully on a day In 1924. Miners, hearing it, rushed to the lifts; women and children, preparing the evening meal In the little white cottages covered their eyes with their hands and fell to their knees to pray and then hurried to the mine. For the siren sounded the warning of an explosion, of fire, death or disaster. Prospective widows and orphans gathered about the pit. Sad faced men mixed the concrete with which to seal nine of their fellow miners In the for nine men had not come to the surface, and the mine had to be sealed.

Old Joe Curcuru, snubbing coal "down under" as the, concrete was being mixed up above, turned to his 17-year-old son, Sam, and said: "I smell smoke. Go ring the bell, call tlae elevator and ask what is wrong." They had not heard the explosion. Sam ran to the shaft, rang the bell, loud and long and a moment later the elevator descended. The white-faced operator, seeing Sam. shouted: "Hurry.

Last chance. Mine afire, being sealed." Sam found his father, hurried him to the elevator, pushed him aboard, and so, only seven died. INO GARIBALDI the big, dark, wide-eared St. Louis Italian, who is making a bid for championship honors among heavyweight wrestlers, sat In the McAlpin Hotel, in New York, gazed out upon a gorgeous Manhattan sunset and, grinning, said: "I was the Sam Curcuru that old Joe Curcuru sent out to see what was wrong. My father and I were the last two men to come out alive, for seven were sealed In, and died In the flames.

"That experience cured me of coal mining. Maybe I was as the old man said, but I refused to go back into a mine and we returned to St. Louis, my birthplace, and I quickly found a job in the Fisher Body assembling plant. It was there, in 1S25, that I decided to become a professional wrestler, a decision that has taken me from the ranks of. common laborers and made life worth while.

I got married five years ago to Miss Mary Dugo of St. Louis, and we have two boys, Joseph, 4, and Leo, 2, a home in Brooklyn, N. Y. and another at 4325 Fiad avenue, St. Louis." "Say," interrupted "Rough House" Nelson, formerly of St.

Louis, "Tell him what a swell wine maker you are." "Keep still," said Garibaldi, who is more or less of a mystery man among the Italian population of St. Louis. There isn't an Italian in the ity, who likes sports events, who doesn't want to know where he sprang from. Many believe he was born in the old country, and learned his wrestling there. Now, for the first time he tells his story.

I AM 25 years old and was born in a house near Seventh and Eiddle streets, being one of sev en children. At the time of my birth, March 19, 1907, my father was employed by' the St. Louis Car Company, having settled in St. Louis in 1897, after leaving the coal mines of Illinois. I attended school, played at Carr Park, engaged in numerous rock fights, and at the.

age of 8 moved with my family to Duquoin, Illinois. "My father, having lost his job and spent all his money, had decided to return to the mines.

Time after time I was fired, because of this, but, being a good worker, was always hired again. "Lloyd Carter, wrestler, manager and promoter, who was down on his luck and working in the same plant, became interested in me because I was a big, strong, good-natured fellow. One day he asked me if I'd like to be a wrestler. "I told him I would and that I went to all wrestling matches. He said he'd train me and so I quit my job and he quit his, and we started training.

Within a few weeks, he told 'Rough House Nelson I was ready to go to work, and Nelson, who was staging matches in picture shows in St. Louis and St. Loui3 County, began booking me and paid me $1.50, $2.50 and $5." "I never paid you as little as $1.50," interjected Nelson. You once promised me $1.50 and didn't give me a dime," said Garibaldi. "That was because you didn't earn a dime," laughed crowd booed you."

Primo Camera and King Levin-sky, who battled each other at the stadium last Friday night, awoke today to discover that they are stablemates. Walter Friedman, the Italian man-mountain's manager, has taken over the management of the Chicago kingfish who lost the decision to Camera Friday night.

Garibaldi gazed out a west window and could see a ship from Italy docking at a Hudson River pier; at least, Gino swore he could tell it was from Italy.
