Wrastlin' Match at the Auditorium in 1919

I saw the following ad in the Texas Farm and Industrial News printed here in Sugar Land on September 28, 1919.  I think the Cultural Arts Foundation ought to revive this spectacle.  They could have Bull Curry's great-grandson battle Jose Lothario's great-nephew.  I was going to say something about a celebrity match, but I better not.

 

  

Some of you sharpies may remember that Joe Kopecky performed in a wrestling exhibition with his brother as part of the July 4th celebrations in 1919.  I guess it was a hit.
