(promoter:  Sam Avey) … (2,000+ fans)
Notes:  According to the Tulsa Daily World (1/16/1927), Malcewicz “has never had his
shoulders pinned for a loss by anyone other than Ed (Strangler) Lewis, while Mondt has
not met defeat since he was taken under the wing of Sandow about a year ago.” It was
said that the two engaged each other “approximately one month ago” in Rochester, and
drew after two hours.  They were wrestling for a purse of $7,500.  The press said it was
the “most spectacular” match ever staged in Tulsa.  It was said that Mondt was laying on a
stretcher after the first fall with his manager Billy Sandow, wife, and their “little daughter,
about 10 years old.”  Mondt reportedly wanted to continue the match.  Despite that fact,
the bout was halted, and Malcewicz was prounced the victor.

*The Sunday, April 3, 1927 edition of the Tulsa Daily World reported:  “Of possible

nationally known mat instructor and former middleweight champion, had taken over the
managerial reins of Mondt.  He will be in Mondt’s corner in the Malcewicz match.”
