The San Bernardino Sun – December 3, 1939
Vincent Lopez. the strong Mexican grappler who recently won a rough and tumble matcn from Jules Strongbow, the 250-pound Indian, has been matched with Rowdy Rudy Laditzi, of Hungary, in the main event at the San Bernardino Athletic club Friday night.
One of the most popular matmen to appear at the San Bernardino club, Lopez faces a tartar in Laditzi, who is rugged enough to get away with his carefree tactics. He won from Ramon Seville Friday night in one of the roughest matches seen at the club in many weeks.
The headline bout, booked as two out of three falls with a one-hour time limit, is somewhat of a grudge affair, as Lopez was a second to Seville when the latter wrestled Laditzi last week.
Ramon Seville, of Claremont, has been matched with Frank Cutler, the pudgy and rough bone twister from Akron, Ohio. It is a one-fall tussle. Rusty Westcoat, former Hawaiian mat champion, has been matched with Vic Hill, a former Washington grid player, in a one-fall affair.
The opening bout sends Mango Singh, of India, against Terry McGinnis, handsome Irish heavyweight, in a one-fall, 30-minute mixup.
