...members of a rival group. Each has a claimant to the world's championship, several more or less high-grade contenders for it. De Vito hitherto has belonged to a group controlled by Paul Bowser, which operates in Boston and the Midwest. The Bowser group also includes Gus Sonnenberg, Jack Sherry, Don George, Henri De Glane (champion). Londos is champion for the most profitable of the three groups, operated by Promoter Jack Curley in Manhattan and the Midwest. Some of his stablemates are Richard Shikat, Jim McMillen, Leon Pinetski, Gino Garibaldi, Sandor Szabo. De Vito was allowed to wrestle...

Many a spectator adjudged the match, fair and official though it was, more a football game than a wrestling bout. Wrestler Sonnenberg took up professional wrestling without premeditation. One night last year in Boston, after watching two grunters struggle, Sonnenberg said: "I could take those two bums in the ring now and lick both of 'em without getting up a sweat."
