reporter was one of 10000 spectators in attendance at the weekly wrestling show in maple leaf gardens the attraction of the show was a tag team match between the merciless mills brothers and the two heros 325 pound hombre montanna and the mighty lrsus who tips the scales at a neat 300 i arrived at the gardens around eight oclock and purchased a ticket in the fifth row blue section to get the nights proceedings off to an exciting start i had the pleasure of stepping through the turnstiles with the two mo3t hated humans in the building the mills brothers they are huge men standing well over six feet in height and weighing over 200 pounds both were dressed in tight anklelength trousers and wore heavy brown bush coats their greasyblack hair hung in long ringlets almost to their shoulders while walking ibriskly to their dressing rooms a few misconceived fans timidly requested autographs but all they received was an angry snarl and an ugly frown from the bonebending brothers five preliminary bouts were run off before the lights were dimmed and the four huge heavyweights strode up the ramp the crowd appeared unusually quiet almost as if they feared what was about to take place within the next thirty minutes the two referees briefly searched the four wrestlers for con cealed weapons and rhymed off a few unheeded rules and the battle was on for the first two or three minutes everything seemed fair and square and then suddenly gie of the mills brothers un leashed a series of vicious blows to the face of hombre montanna from that point on all rules and regulations were tossed to the four winds at one point in the match the crowd became almost hysterical and the gardens attendants were kept busy patrol ling the ringside area in case a riot should develop one red- blooded fan could restrain himself no longer and with a run and a jump he scrambled up on the edge of the ring and at tempted to crawl through the ropes his courageous efforts were discouraged however as one of the officials wheeled and clipped the spectator on the chin with the toe of his hoot he immediately heat a hasty retreat and peaceably returned to his ringside seat the mills brothers although outweighed by nearly 125 pounds displayed some masterful fetes of stiength the mighty ursus weighing a nifty 300 pounds was lifted into the air quite handily by his powerful adversary and hurled over the ropes to the cement floor with comparative ease it marked the fust time that any wrestler in the gardens had been able to lift the huge matman off his feet at 11 oclock the curfew bell sounded and although the referees called the bout a draw the wrestlers seemed dissatisfied to drop the issue then and there although the time had run out the four men continued their brawl as the crowd screamed with delight and excitement finally the wrestlers were separ ated and the villainous mills brothers strode down the ramp to their dressing room amid a shower of popcorn oranges pro grams and other miscellaneous missiles tlie heros were ap plauded loud and long for their valiant effort coach oeacks down coach bob bangay of the stouffville clippers is taking a dim view of players who continually take trips to the penalty box for minor infractions of the rules a number of players on the clipper club have acquired the habit of hitting an op ponent after the whistle arguing with the officials issuing criticism on the referee from the players box or penalty box while play is in progress and other unnecessary riile infractions penalties not only put a team at a disadvantage tbiit force a coach to mix up his lines a penalized team is always on the defencive and only on rare occasions will a shorthanded club score a goal unless the opposition is unusually weak or a forward is fortunate enough to snare a loose puck and break into the clear while two or three of the stouffville clippers are responsible for the clubs shorthanded efforts other players have compiled a clean record frank stephenson a hard- drlving type of player has been seldom seen in the penalty- box this season don mcintosh although penalized quite fre quently during the fore part of the season has
