Ralph "Ruffy" Silversteln, former national inter - collegiate wrestling champion and ieading contender for the world's professional mat crown, and rowdy Rudy Kay, Chicago's roughest wrestling tuffy, will settle their differences of a week ago, this Friday night, August 2, in the main event of an all-star heavyweight wrestling card in Peg's Open-air Arena at Grayslake. A rainstorm of cloudburst proportions last Friday night caused the entire card to be postponed, and the Silverstein-Kay match now is expected to be the most sensational mat spectacle ever witnessed in a Lake county ring. Ruffy is being brought into the county by popular request on the part of local sportsmen who have been purging wrestling officials to send rough Rudy against someone who can really give him the whipping he deserves for his unruly tactics in local wrestling wars. Stone Age Staff Kay has not been pinned in a match at Qrayslake for the past two years, although Jim McMillen, Antioch's great mat ace, won over Rudy on a disqualification a month ago when Kay hauled a rock the size of a baseball into the ring with him and attempted to render Big Jim hors'de combat. The supporting matches on the fourbout card will be unchanged except that Walter Palmer, flashy A. A. U. wrestling champion, will replace Everett Nelson against the burly Canadian lumberjack, Bully Boy George Kogut. In the other matches, Chris Zaharias, 225-pound Colorado Greek star, akes on Fred "Legs" Grubmier, Iowa's body-scissors specialist, and Bert Rubi, former Hungarian Olympic champion, meets Marshall George, 240-pound human firecracker from Boston. /, -• NEEDS AN INTRODUCTION "Those new people across the road seem very devoted," said Mrs. Jones wistfully to UJe newspaper which hid her husband. .
