Garibaldi Pins ‘Mask’ On Mat

Washington Post – February 1, 1945

Gino Garibaldi defeated Yellow Mask in 10 minutes in the feature match on Joe Turner’s mat card last night before 1,600 fans at the W St. arena. Garibaldi won when he tossed the “Mask” out of the ring and the latter failed to climb back in before the alloted 10 seconds.

Herman (Dutch) Rohde defeated Ace Freeman in 19 minutes with a body press, while Pat McKay floored Jack Van Ryan in 22 minutes – also with a body press. Eddie Stray and Jesse James fought to a 30-minute draw, while Milo Steinborn licked Pierre De Glane in 23-minutes via the disqualification route.
