McClarily and Indian Lass Triumph in Tag Team Bout

Argus-Leader – January 16, 1959

Although the husband-wife tag team match failed to materialize at the Coliseum last night, local wrestling fans still got a chance to see male and female partners collaborate against similar teams.

Roy McClarity, the only advertised headliner who showed here last night, teamed with Princess Tona Tomah, a Chippewa Indian from White Earth reservation in Minnesota, to defeat Ramona TeSelle, Chicago, and Joe Costello, Salina, Kan.

Twin Drop Kick Ends Tag Bout

Palm Beach Post – February 12, 1958

LAKE WORTH – Veteran villains Chris Zaharias and Jack Vansky lost the featured tag team match last night at Legion Arena, but pleaded long after the hot wrestling match was over with an unsympathetic crowd that the whole thing was illegal. With the team of Ernie Dusek, and Big Ike Eakins, who subbed for the injured Emil Dusek, squaring the match in the second fall, a four-man rhubarb ensued in the final fall.

Eakins put an end to the match by drop-kicking both his opponent with his big feet, and covering Zaharias to win the match.

Rocca Pins Carlton At MSG

New York Times – May 16, 1950

Antonino Rocca of Argentina sent his followers home happy by defeating “Lord” Leslie Carlton of Oxford, England, in 24 minutes, 23 seconds in one of the feature wrestling exhibitions that attracted 14,246 to Madison Square Garden last night. The program drew gate receipts of $42,311, well below the figures at the last two shows at the Eighth Avenue arena.

Rocca, Eagle Go To Curfew Draw

Approximately two tons of wrestling’s men of distinction, all equipped with a variety of biff bop, brought grab and grappling back to Yankee Stadium last night after an absence of 16 years. And like the unexplainable revival of the Charleston and Dixieland jazz, the crowd of 11,328 reveled in its return.

Although held down considerably by intermittent showers in the afternoon and a prediction of more of the same last night, the gross gate was a tidy $33,746, a portion of that sum benefitting the Free Milk Fund for Babies, Inc.

Rasslers’ Money Held By Commish

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette – January 7, 1936

 As a part of the general fun last night at the O’Mahoney-Dusek wrestling draw, the athletic commission right after the “sound and fury” held up the purse of the champion and Dusek, Ellwood Rigby, the promoter, announced.  Final decision was reserved until today, Rigby announced.

Cops Heroes Of Mat Show By Stopping Title Match

“Oh No, Mr. Referee, You Can’t Tell Me What to Do,” Says Mr. Dusek
Shortly before his title match with champion, Danno O’Mahoney, was stopped when a flock of policemen jumped into the ring, Challenger Ernie Dusek got plenty rough, or so referee Dickerhoff though. Dusek was duly warned of this but Mr. Dusek didn’t care to be warned about it, and so told Mr. Dickerhoff while applying a toe hold on the disinterested O’Mahoney. The above shows the argument in full bloom, with no sound effect. The wrestlers’ purses were held up by the boxing commission.

Jump Into Ring After O’Mahoney and Dusek Refuse To Halt When Bout Is Called Draw By Referee.

While Charley Chaplin gave up cop-chases as a part of his comedy act back as far as the old Keystone Comedy days, the gentlemen who control wrestling in the country felt all along, apparently, that Pittsburgh had never seen enough of the time-honored situation so last night a squad of Pittsburgh’s finest were inducted into the action in the sketch between Danno O’Mahoney, dubbed the wrestling champion of the world, and Ernie Dusek, a Midwesterner, in the North Side Arena.

If wrestling fans of Pittsburgh hold any inclination to see a “repeat act” of the riotous championship bout between Champion Danno O’Mahoney and Ernie Dusek at the North Side Arena last night, they’ll just have to forget about it.

New Year Brings Plenty Of Action
