A double main event will feature one of the final mat cards of the summer season at Peg‘s Grayslake Arena Friday night when King Kong, the famous bearded Abyssinâ€" fan terror, returns to County mat wars to tackle Friedrich von Schacht, giant German champion, in a sensational return match, and Fred "Legs" Grubmier, great Towa scizsors king, matches grips with rowdy Rudy Kay, Chicago gasâ€" house toughâ€"guy. Grubmier vs. Kay; King Kong Meets Van Scl?:c'l’:t, Friday THURSDAY, AUGUST 2%5, 1938 King Kong and von Schacht are both gunning for a world title match in Chicago this fall and both have been trying to put Jim Mecâ€" Millen out o fthe running to get this chance at the champion. King Kong succeeded in holding the Anâ€" tioch ace to an hour draw three weeks ago, while von Schacht was hoaxed out of a victory within his hands last Friday night against Mcâ€" King Kong and von Schacht met at Grayslake two weeks ago and after one of the wildest matches on record the giant German kicked the King out of the ring and into subâ€" mission disregarding all rules and regulations of the game. King Kong elaimed a foul but his protests fell on deaf ears and Schacht was matched with McMillen. Now the King will get a chance for revenge against the big Teuton, and von Schacht will get a chance to boast himself into a position to demand a McMillen rematch. Rough Rudy Kay and Freddy Grubmier wound <up a thrilling scrap at Grayslake a month ago in an even thing, so by popular deâ€" mand the promoters are rematching the pair as a part of the double main attractiqn Friday. Grubby specializes in his famous scissors to squeeze the opposition out of his rivals, while rough Rudy gains his wins with his barâ€"roomâ€"brawl style of wrestling. It should be a real test of science versus roughness. The semiâ€"windup ~pits lithe and handsome Bobby Bruns, blond heavy sensation in a thirty minute time limit bout against Jerry Meeker, Hawaiian star, and with a clean slate of wins for both men in an interesting contest can be expected. The preliminary introduces the highly touted Brooklyn, N.Y. star George Becker, who will get his local test against Jack Conley, the Boston Slugger. A different referee will officiate this week.
