The Arkansas Democrat, published at Little Rock, has a most complete account of the wrestling match there last Monday night between Rudy Dusek and Joe Stecher, who had met once before since Stecher re-won the heavyweight wrestling title several months ago. In the former match Dusek's bull-dog tenacity in refusing to give up to one of Stecher's famous scissor holds resulted in his being so severely injured as to compel him to forfeit the match The Democrat says Stecher retain ed his title in Monday night's match by a thread, or "several threads wov en into a rope." Continuing, the article says: "In one of the greatest, hardest fought and most spectacular athletic contests of any kind, the titleholder was forced to go three falls to defeat Dusek, the worthy young challenger. and then ole Sister Luck locked arms with the champion and pulled him over on the winning side.

"It was a bad break for Dusek and came right when he appeared a sure winner. The champion was well used up and showed it. Both he and his brother-manager Tony Stecher, de clared ihwas the hardest match that Stecher had ever engaged in even harder than the battle in which Joe won the title from Stanislaus Zbys zko. "Dusek did something no other wrestler has done since Stecher won back the championship. That was to win a fall from the titleholder. Rudy also did something in the former match with v Stecher no other chal lenger has done, when he forced the champion to go one hour and 22 min utes for a single fall. "Commenting on the tangle in the ropes, about which he had been criti cised for not breaking the hold and ordering the men to the center of the ring. Referee Tom Packs, who had permitted work in the ropes all thru the contest told the writer after the match, 'Dusek had ithe match won and the championship in his hands. but he didn't know it. All he had to do was to let go his hold on the champion. Joe would have toppled head first to the floor, and it would have been all over for him.' Rudy Wins a Fall "The challenger completely out- wrestled the champion in the second fall, carrying the fight to him and rushing him all around the ring.

Dusek out-wrestled him all through the period. He clamped on a punishing armlock and the titleholder appeared on the verge of giving up. Suddenly Stecher climbed aboard Rudy's back and the latter found himself in a scissors. The powerful and squeezing legs forced Rudy to give up. Rudy might have broken the hold and he might have failed had he struggled to free himself, but, without a fall against him, he very wisely gave up and avoided injury." Dusek is a brother of Anton Hason of this city, and his rise to fame in the wrestling world is being watched with the greatest of interest by local friends of the promising grappler.
