Before the season started he was traded to Baltimore for Ray Felix. That shift "down the river" made the 6-8 giant a bit mad. But what really angered Connie was the fact that the Knicks refused to take him back after Baltimore folded its tent.

New York had the chance to claim Simmons but took Paul Hoffman instead.

To put first things first, they are eating and that's something. In fact, that's a lot since even-body knows that a full-grown rassler can consume plenty of costly groceries. But the congress of groaners and grunters which held forth in Madison Square Garden last night attracted 11,091 cash customers who put $34,430 in the till, which is about what three boxing cards will put into the 8th Avenue show-place at current rates of exchange.

Through an unpardonable oversight, your agent arrived just as one Pedro Escobar was spinning one Harry Lewis high in the air before pinning his shoulders to the mat, so I have no real details on the first scramble. Then Tony artinelli and Al Kashey played it straight and clean. They beamed good fellowship all over the place and were applauded for their sportsmanship as the lively duel was called a draw. Next came Rafael Halpern, otherwise Israel." He is moustached, darkly handsome in a continental way. His opponent was Buddy Lee, a deep-dyed platinum blond villain who was booed as he paraded to the post in a gilt-spangled cerise tunic.

Lee specialized in petulant expressions, hair-pulling, gouging, kicking, but Halpern finally tossed him with a series of blood-curdling yells and flying head scissors. HALF A TON And now fully half a ton of quivering beef was dumped into the ring for a tag-team riot as 280-pound Yukon Eric and Pat O'Connor, a wholesome type from New Zealand, tangled with Art Nielsen and Reggie Lisowski. Both Nielsen and Lisowski are burly, blond and mean and I never did find out which was which. It didn't make much difference because, in violation of what are laugh 1 punches. The Los Angeles clouter threw an endless barrage of power-packed dynamite at the Eastern Parkway last night to score a TKO over Cone Smith of Washington, Referee Harry Ebbets wisely halted the one-sided slaughter after 11 seconds of the sixth round.

Yukon Eric, who Jost most of his left car either lo a polar bear or another rassler and cannot afford a belt lo replace the clothesline that holds up his levis, was the hit of this little number. A full description of all that happened would require the pen of Marcel Proust, at least. One high spot came when Eric flattened Nielsen with a right, wheeled to catch Lisowski rushing from his corner and flattened him with a right.

By this time, Nielsen was on his feet to be flattened again. Then it was Lisowski's turn. This kept on for a while until both of Eric's opponents sought sanctuary outside the ropes. Another rare moment came when Eric was gripped in a full nelson by one opponent, while the other came off the ropes and crashed into him in what they call a flying tackle. The tackier bounced off and landed on his shoulder blade-.

So did his partner, shaken loose by the impact. Only Eric remained erect. Finally, Danny Bartfield, the perspiring referee, became fed up when Nielsen and Lisowski refused to cease and desist in their joint efforts to garrote O'Connor in a corner. Danny ordered the timekeeper to ring the bell. Presently all four were flailing away until Eric threw Nielsen, or maybe Lisowski, across the ring and crashing into Bartfield, knocking down the referee.

It was announced that Nielsen and Lisowski were disqualified for "unnecessary roughness," and that worthy pair left complaining that the penalty should have been only 15 yards. CRASH-DIVES AND SLEEPERS Somehow, the rest seemed an anti-climax. 'Antonino Rocra, the barefoot boy from the Argentine, engaged Don Jonathan, 2S0 pounds of tall Mormon. Jonathan wears his hair long and is very good at stamping bis feet in vexation. They used script 2f-B.

With Rocra prone on the canva-. Jonathan climbed the ropes in the corner to jump on him. Rocra twisted away just in and the cra-h-dive injured Jonathan's right knee so that lie was easily pinned and won't be able to again until tomorrow night. The feature brought together Verne Gagne, esteemed by some as champion of the tribe, and Roy McClarity, described as the hurricane from Canada. First, Gagne subdued McClarity with a "sleeper," which is a hold that the likes of Gotch, Hackenschmidt and George Bothner never discovered.

Then McClarity subdued Gagne with a "sleeper," which showed a startling lack of originality. Just before curfew, Gagne scored the deciding fall with something that might be described as a back-drop.
