Danno, Adept With Elbows,
Also Uses His Knuckles.
“Irish Whip” Wins.
Danno aloysius o'Ma
honey. the Erin enigma,
was as much of a riddle as
ever today as far as his abil
ity to wrestle was concerned.
The possibilities of the Irish young
ster as a pleasing performer were
opened a bit by Rowdy Rudy Dusek
last night at the Washington Audi
torium, where Rudolph succeeded In
losing after 16 minutes, but folks who
want to form their own opinions
about O’Mahoneys chances against
Jeems the Londos and Ed Don George
this Summer still faced the question,
•Can O'Mahoney really wrestle?" j
In sharp contrast to his initial lo
cal appearance against Fred Grob
mier, the clean-cut invader had to
work up some perspiration last night,
but It was Rudy, always the peerless
showman, who worked hardest in
what seemed to be a successful at
tempt to "sell” the Irish youngster
to Washington fans. It was Rudy,
twice before a victim of Danno, who
supplied the kerplunks and meller
drammer so dear to the mat incur
able’s heart, but it is not Rudy who
blocks O'Mahoney's path to the
•’title” which his supporters claim he
will own ere the coming Summer is
ended.
Out of the West will come the ris
ing Little Wolf, new Indian sensation. :
to challenge Danno's claims, and
then, of course, there is Londos and j
George. And how Danno will shape
up as a foe for either in a "shooting
match" could not be determined last
night.
Fans For Dannc.
EXCEPT that there was much more
action, thanks to Dusek. there
was not a great deal of difference
between O'Mahonev's performance
last night and his victory over Grob
mier In his debut here. When Danno
wanted things his way. he was in
command of the veteran Dusek. who
was backed by more than eight years
of professional rassling to eight
months for O'Mahoney.
Sporting a new cauliflower ear—his
first and probably the thickest hunk
of mistreated cartilage adorning the
side of s rassler's head—Danno. as
usual, was on the defense when the
heftles answered the whistle. Dusek.
darting in and out of grab holds that
were broken promptly by O'Mahoney,
took a lacing in the early moments
while 3,000 customers gave vent to
brogue-tinted howls of glee.
Long before he stepped into the
ring here wtih O'Mahoney. Rowdy
Rudy went on record as tagging Dan
no the hardest elbow-«linger in the
game and the lad from Erin did his
best to live up to it. Taking the
offensive after 12 minutes of action.
O’Mahoney blasted Dusek's head with
awkward elbow punches that were not
confined always to the elbows. A
skinned knuckle dripping blood bore
mute testimony to that before Danno
decided things had gone far enough.
“Irish Whip” Scores Fad.
WHEN it was apparent to Danno
that Dusek was softened suffi
ciently he Called on the “Irish
whip” for the killing. It required two
doses of the "whip.” a version of the
flying mare, to finish the Nebraskan.
Jack Donovan, a domestic Irishman
from the Pacific Coast, kept pace with
his imported colleague from Erin by (
destroying poor old Jean Le Deaux '
after 15Vi minutes of the semi-final— j
but the third Irishman on the card,
Pat McKay, did not fare so well.
McKay's penchant for strangle
holds finally reached a point where
Jim McNamara, preliminary referee, j
stepped in and awarded Sandor Szabo. j
the handsome Hungarian, with a 17- 1
minute victory via disqualification. j
Count Andre Dunaev. a Russian ,

Stanley Evans of Highland Park.
Mich., king of the heavyweights in

Katherine Rawls Called Greatest Mermaid
After Triple Triumph in U. S. Indoor Meet
BY PAUL MICKELSON,
Associated Press Sport* Writer.
Chicago, April 12.—swim
ming expert*, one of the
hardest lot In all sport to
convince, pointed out 17- j
year-old Katherine Rawls of Miami
Beach, Kla , today and agreed:
“There Is the greatest all-around
woman swimmer In the world!”
Katy, a grinning, boylah-looking
mis* weighing only 107 pounds, con-,
vinced them beyond their last linger
ing doubt* last night when she
streaked over the choppy waters of
the Lake Shore Athelttc Club long '
course pool to victory In the 100-yard
breast stroke, her third straight tri
umph in the national women's In
door swimming championships.
And tonight Katy will attempt to
do what no other swimming cham
pion has ever accomplished—make it
four straight by winning the 220-yard
free style, feature race of the night's
program.
The Miami miss, who has been
swimming almost from the day she
crept out of the cradle, started her
record-breaking surge Wednesday
night by beating the Nation's fastest
mermaids in the 100-yard free style
and the 300-yard individual medley in
the record time of 4:09.2. Last night,
behind at the final turn and with de
feat regarded almost a certainty, she
made the large crowd stand on its
feet as she swished over the waves
with a dramatic finish to win thei
100-yard breast stroke from a field
that included the world's record
holder, Anne Govednik of Chisholm,
Minn., who could do no better than
finish third behind Dorothy Schiller ;
of the home Lake Shore Club.
Miss Rawls' performances easily
clinched her the indiridual high point
KATHERINE RAWLS.
medal of the meet with 15 points, and
gave her club, the Miami Beach S. C.,;
the lead in the team championship
race with 15 points. The Washington
Athletic Club of Seattle was close be
hind with 13 points, however, winning
10 of them tfith Its victory last night
in the 400-yard relay in which Katy
and her club were not represented.
Even with all this. Katy stayed out
of the low-board diving competition
last night, surrendering her title to
Dorothy Poynton Hill of Los Angeles,
who conquered her field with a total
of 112.56 points. Under the rules, no
contestant can compete in more than
four events.
In winning the 400-yard relay, the
Washington A. C. team, composed of
Mary Lou Petty, Betty Lea, Doris
Buckley and Olive McLean, shattered
Its own world record by 5.9 seconds
by negotiating the distance in 4:15 3.
Miss Lea. a 18-year-old star, was the
chief cause of the victory, giving the
Westerners a lead they never sur
rendered. The Carnelgle Library Club
of Homestead Pa . was second, with
the Lake Shore quartet third.
