Feb. 1957 WDLP--590 on your dia' New Matmen Slated Tonighi At Civic Center One of the roughest pairs of wrestlers ever to go into action here will battle the popular Buddy Fuller and Bobby Starr Fields in a tag team scrap tonight at the Civic Center. Ivan (the Great) Malenko of Russia and his partner, Rube Wright of Birmingham, have been practically unbeatable since they teamed up in the wrestling ring. Both have been seen here before but not since last summer. Malenko, a big drawing card since he came to this country from Russia, chose Wright as his teammate because the Birmingham athlete, like himself, uses any hold to win.

Fuller, from Mobile, and Fields, from Pawhuska, are popular with local fans because of their clean tactics. They hope to win the southern tag championship here next summer. The main event is two out of three falls. One-fall preliminaries, starting at 8:15, will pit Fields against Wright and Fuller against Malenko. Veterans of Foreign Wars are sponsors.

Williams, one of the game's most temperamental stars during his great career, indicated that he has had a change of mind and might like to stay in baseball after his playing days. RED SOX STAR Big smiles are in order as Ted Williams, right, signs a reported $100,000 contract with the Boston Red Sox. With Williams is the Red Sox's general manager, Joe Cronin.
