LAYTON, YUKON ERIC DRAW IN STORMY CLASH (The Niagara Falls Gazette, Tuesday, April 17, 1951) In one ring [corner] were the ringmaster and Lord Athol Layton, in another were Yukon Eric, Layton's man Gerald, and a purse-swinging lady fan, and in the third were an embattled policeman and four maddened fans. Only the sawdust was missing. That, precisely, was the situation shortly before the ringmaster, or rather the referee, Bert Maxwell, declared a draw between Layton and Eric in the main event of last night's wrestling card at the Niagara Falls, Ont., arena. Prior to the above capers Eric had taken fall No. 1 with a bear hug and press and M'Lord had jolly well evened matters with an octopus hold. The two were striving for the deciding tumble when Eric left the ring to chase Gerald, whose presence the Alaskan resented. The lady in question was aiding and abetting Eric when the constable, attempting to intervene, was waylaid by the four gallant blades. Pachyderms Hi Lee and Ben Morgan performed clever tricks of mayhem for six minutes in the semi-final before Morgan fell backward over Maxwell and Lee crashed on top of him for the fall. Timothy Geohagen amazed one and all by being disqualified for rough tactics after 21 minutes of a half-hour with a true roughhouse artist, Lee Henning. Pat Flanagan stood for Abe Zvonkin's guff for about 13 minutes in the opening bout then pressed Abraham for the fall. +++ 04-16-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Pat Flanagan beat Abe Zvonkin 13:00 Lee Henning beat Steve Stanlee via dq 21:00 Sky Hi Lee beat Big Ben Morgan 6:00 2/3 Falls: Yukon Eric drew Lord Athol Layton 04-23-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Bill Stack beat Jack Wentworth Steve Stanlee drew Tommy O'Toole 30:00 Suni War Cloud beat Big Ben Morgan 14:00 2/3 Falls: Lord Athol Layton beat Yukon Eric 2-1 04-30-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Bill Stack drew Tommy O'Toole 20:00 Lee Henning beat Steve Stanlee 14:00 Sky Hi Lee beat Wladyslaw Talun 6:00 2/3 Falls: Whipper Billy Watson drew Lord Athol Layton 1-1 05-07-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Sonny Kurgis drew Natie Brown Lou Sjoberg beat Big Ben Morgan Chief Suni War Cloud drew Sky Hi Lee 30:00 2/3 Falls: Whipper Billy Watson vs Lord Athol Layton via dcor 05-14-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Lou Sjoberg beat Natie Brown Earl McCready drew Lee Henning Sky Hi Lee beat Chief Suni War Cloud 2/3 Falls: Whipper Billy Watson beat Lord Athol Layton 2-1 Note: Watson was defending his British Empire title for the third week in a row. 05-21-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Steve Stanlee drew Bill Stack 20:00 Lou Sjoberg drew Fred Atkins 30:00 2/3 Falls: Whipper Billy Watson & Chief Suni War Cloud beat Sky Hi Lee & Lord Athol Layton 2-1 05-28-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Steve Stanlee drew Sonny Kurgis Lee Henning drew Lou Sjoberg 2/3 Falls: Lord Athol Layton & Fred Atkins beat Whipper Billy Watson & Chief Suni War Cloud via dq 2-1 06-04-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena George Scott drew Jack Wentworth Zebra Kid beat Sonny Kurgis 11:00 2/3 Falls: Lord Athol Layton & Fred Atkins beat Whipper Billy Watson & Chief Suni War Cloud 2-1 06-11-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Pat Flanagan drew Steve Stanlee Zebra Kid beat Bill Stack 18:00 2/3 Falls: Masked Marvel & Mayes McLain vs Fred Atkins & Lord Athol Layton via ddq 06-18-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Sky Hi Lee beat Pat Flanagan via cor 25:00 Lou Sjoberg beat Nanjo Singh via dq 12:00 2/3 Falls: Ben Sharpe & Mike Sharpe vs Lord Athol Layton & Fred Atkins via ddq 06-25-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Steve Stanlee drew Tommy O'Toole 30:00 Zebra Kid beat Lou Sjoberg 12:00 2/3 Falls: Ben Sharpe & Mike Sharpe beat Fred Atkins & Lord Athol Layton 2-1 07-02-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena No mention of wrestling 07-09-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Pat Flanagan drew Sonny Kurgis 20:00 Zorra beat Ben Sharpe 17:00 Mike Sharpe beat Lee Henning 21:00 2/3 Falls: Zebra Kid beat Yukon Eric via cor 2-1 07-16-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Pat Flanagan drew Tommy O'Toole 20:00 Suni War Cloud beat Dan O'Connor via dq 14:00 Mike Sharpe drew Zorra 30:00 2/3 Falls: Yukon Eric vs Zebra Kid via ddq 07-23-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Lee Henning drew Lou Sjoberg 30:00 Mike Sharpe beat Zorra via dq 2/3 Falls: Masked Marvel drew Zebra Kid 1-1 07-30-1951 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Charlie (Bill?)

Then, after he and Yukon aided Bobo to his corner, he raised both hands. However, neither grappler appeared to mind very much.

Before the bout was over the police had to force their way into the ring to rescue the Italian grappler. Several chairs were smashed and a big group of ringsiders were just restrained from starting a free-for-all fight. It all began when Togo, disregarding Referee Al Gotter's orders and the usual "rules" of wrestling, began hitting DiPaolo in the throat with sidehand cracks, yanking on his hair and kicking him. Taking much the worst of it, DiPaolo suddenly rallied to gain the first fall with a tumbling leg lock. But he lost the second fall, conceding to Togo's chin lock in four minutes. The chair-throwing began here, but police quelled the fracas. The try for the third fall just lasted a minute. The pair tumbled through the ropes and, as Referee Gotter counted both out, the two renewed their battle in the ringside section. Both crashed into the chairs, but DiPaolo was restrained and forcibly pulled away by police as he sought to whack Togo with one. The Jap then gained the comparative safety of the ring. Fred Atkins and Tim Geohagen grappled to a 30-minute standoff in the semi-final while "Man Mountain" Dean Jr., was disqualified in his second prelim with Don Lewin. Pat Flanagan and Bill Stack drew in the opener. ++++ 07-20-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Pat Flanagan drew Bill Stack Don Lewin beat Man Mountain Dean Jr. via dq Fred Atkins drew Tim Geohagen 30:00 2/3 Falls: Great Togo vs Ilio DiPaolo via dcor 1-1 07-27-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Al Costello beat Bill Stack Firpo Zbyszko drew Al Lewin Don Leo Jonathan beat Man Mountain Dean Jr. via dq 2/3 Falls: Ilio DiPaolo beat Great Togo via cor 2-1 08-03-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena No wrestling 08-10-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Pat Flanagan beat Tom Collins Bob Leipler beat Firpo Zbyszko Tim Geohagen drew Bobo Brazil 30:00 2/3 Falls, 2 on 1 Handicap Match: Wladek Kowalski beat Don Leo Jonathan & Robert Duranton 2-1 08-17-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Bob Leipler drew Steve Stanlee Nanjo Singh beat Al Warshawski 4:00 Little Beaver & Tuffy McCrae beat Sky Low Low & Tiger Jackson 2/3 Falls: Ilio DiPaolo beat Fred Atkins via reverse decision dq 2-1 08-24-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Steve Stanlee beat Bert Ryby 15:00 Tim Geohagen drew Bob Leipler 30:00 Little Beaver & Tuffy McCrae beat Tiger Jackson & Sky Low Low 20:00 2/3 Falls: Ilio DiPaolo beat Nanjo Singh via cor 2-0 08-31-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Firpo Zbyszko vs Robert Duranton Don Lewin vs Abe Zvonkin Tim Geohagen vs Bobo Brazil 2 on 1 Handicap Match: Ilio DiPaolo vs Fred Atkins & Al Costello 09-07-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena No wrestling 09-14-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Abe Zvonkin drew Bill Stack (sub Tom Collins) Alan Garfield beat Don Leo Jonathan 27:00 2/3 Falls: Yvon Robert & Whipper Billy Watson vs Fred Atkins & Al Costello via nc 09-21-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena George Scott drew Bill Stack 30:00 Alan Garfield beat Bob Leipler 21:00 2/3 Falls: Whipper Billy Watson & Ilio DiPaolo beat Fred Atkins & Al Costello via dq 2-1 09-28-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Dan O'Connor drew Jan Gotch Ala Garfield beat George Scott 26:00 2/3 Falls: Ilio DiPaolo & Whipper BIlly Watson beat Al Costello & Fred Atkins 2-1 10-05-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Reyes Natcho beat Jan Gotch Pat Flanagan beat Al Costello via dq Alan Garfield drew Sky Hi Lee 30:00 2/3 Falls: Ilio DiPaolo vs Yukon Eric via dcor 10-12-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Alan Garfield drew Pat Flanagan Al Costello drew Reyes Natcho 30:00 Tim Geohagen beat Sky Hi Lee via dq 2/3 Falls: Lord Athol Layton beat Ilio DiPaolo 2-1 10-19-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Alan Garfield drew Bill Stack 20:00 Hombre Montana beat Al Costello Oyama Kato beat Vincent Lopez 12:00 2/3 Falls: Killer Kowalski drew Lord Athol Layton 60:00 1-1 10-26-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Firpo Zbyszko drew Bill Stack Oyama Kato beat Reyes Natcho 26:00 2/3 Falls: Al Mills & Tiny Mills beat Ilio DiPaolo & Tim Geohagen 2-1 11-02-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Herb Larson drew Alan Garfield Tim Geohagen drew Oyama Kato 30:00 2/3 Falls: Al Mills & Tiny Mills beat Ilio DiPaolo & Whipper Billy Watson via dq 2-1 Att: 1.800 11-09-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Firpo Zbyszko drew Herb Larson Oyama Kato beat Johnny Harmon 2/3 Falls: Whipper Billy Watson & Ilio DiPaolo beat Al Mills & Tiny Mills via dq 2-1 Att: 3.000 Note: Joe Louis co-refereed the main event. 11-16-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Oyama Kato beat Chico Gracia Tiny Mills beat Tim Geohagen via cor 2/3 Falls: Whipper Billy Watson vs Al Mills via nc 1-1 Note: Oyama Kato came to Watson's rescue after Tiny Mills interfered in the main event, effectively turning him face. 11-23-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Al Costello drew Angelo Martinelli Tim Geohagen beat Sky Hi Lee via dq 2/3 Falls: Al Mills & Tiny Mills drew Whipper Billy Watson & Oyama Kato 60:00 1-1 11-30-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Alan Garfield drew Tony Martinelli Tim Geohagen beat Al Costello 2/3 Falls: Al Mills & Tiny Mills beat Whipper Billy Watson & Oyama Kato 2-1 12-07-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Johnny Harmon drew Reyes Nacho Pat Flanagan vs Sky Hi Leevia dcor 2/3 Falls: Al Mills & Tiny Mills beat Hombre Montana & Oyama Kato via dq 2-1 12-14-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Pat Flanagan beat Firpo Zbyszko via dq Tim Geohagen drew Sky Hi Lee 2/3 Falls: Al Mills & Tiny Mills drew Ilio DiPaolo 60:00 1-1 12-21-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena No wrestling 12-28-1953 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Pat Flanagan drew Tommy (Johnny?)

In a flash the Whip climbed aboard Karol and Referee Gollab promptly started the count. He was in the process of tolling three to signal the fall when Dunlap came charging into action. He knocked Gollab down, yanked Watson away and raised Karol's hand in victory. Later he said he had disqualified Watson for bumping into him. But Gollab, hearing the first cheers ever sent his way in the arena, stuck to his guns and insisted that Dunlap should not have been in the way, that he had no grounds for a disqualification and that Watson was the winner. 12-27-1954 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Bill Stack beat Frank THompson Jack Claybourne beat Jan Gotch 2/3 Falls: Ivan Kalmikoff & Karol Kalmikoff beat Whipper Billy Watson & Pat Flanagan (sub Luther Lindsay) 2-1

The name, a ring moniker used frequently by various wrestlers over the years, is an apt one for the former pro gridder. Last night he broke all records both for roughness and speed in gaining the two falls needed to win the tag-team headliner. It took Stansauk (Haggerty) just a few minutes to polish off Whipper Billy Watson for the first fall with a relentless attack, climaxed by an "unconscious" head clutch. Then, after his partner, Athol Layton, was tossed by the Whipper with a couple of whips and a wrist pull, Hard-Boiled settled the issue by finishing off Pat Flanagan in just slightly over a minute with the same hold he used on Watson. Fred Atkins, Australia's burly grappling star, took a fall from University of Buffalo's Don Leipler with headlock rolls and a press. Nick Roberts gained a referee's decision over Firpo Zbyszko. ++++ 12-12-1955 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Nick Roberts beat Firpo Zbyszko Fred Atkins beat Bob Leipler 2/3 Falls: Hardboiled Haggerty & Lord Athol Layton beat Whipper Billy Watson & Pat Flanagan 2-1 12-19-1955 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Harry Lewis drew Pat Flanagan Fred Atkins beat Seelie Samara 26:00 Ilio DiPaolo beat Gypsy Joe 2/3 Falls: Antonino Rocca beat Hardboiled Haggerty via dq 2-1 12-26-1955 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Lionel Baillargeon drew Firpo Zbyszko Little Beaver & Roger Littlebrook vs Sky Low Low & Fuzzy Cupid Fred Atkins beat Ilio DiPaolo via dq 2/3 Falls: Whipper Billy Watson beat Hardboiled Haggerty via dq 2-1

With Referee Al (Bunny) Dunlap kayoed after being crashed in the canvas by Fritz Von Erich's flying block, to be followed by a concerted attack on Fritz and his partner, Karl Von Schober by the Smith brothers, the call was sounded. Tumbling into the ring to rescue Dunlap and to halt the bearded Smiths, were Pat Flanagan, Gypsy Joe, and Johnny BArend. When Dunlap regained his feet, he signalled the whole affair off for the night. A rematch is likely. John Smith took the first fall of the affair, downing Von Erich with a reverse chin lock and body drop.

"Gosh, I don't know what I'm going to do," said the 25-year-old Wichita, Kan., strongman after he stopped Washington's Charley Hood in 2:23 of the second round of a sensational battle for the gloves' crown at Madison Square Garden Monday night. His Chicago-Western team, however, lost to the New York-Eastern squad, 12-4. Som expert observers said the ruggedly handsome athlete with a neat set of cauliflower ears was a better boxing prospect right now then Rocky Marciano was at the same stage of his career. "I'll take two or three weeks, maybe longer, to think it over," said Hodge. "I know I've got a lot to learn. I like boxing. It's fun. I like wrestling, too. Maybe I might try for the Olympics in both boxing and wrestling if the schedule permits it." ++++ 03-31-1958 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Tiny Tim & Roger Littlebrook beat Irish Jackie & Ivan The Terrible 2/3 Falls: Wilbur Snyder beat Bill Miller 2-1 Note: The card featured two addditional bouts.

Yukon won the first fall over Von Erich with an icicle hold and the latter reversed the decision in the second fall, throwing Yukon out of the ring and jumping on him. Yukon failed to return to action and Watson carried on alone. The affair ended in total confusion as Hombre Montana entered the ring to aid Watson. 11-24-1958 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Dara Singh beat Firpo Zbyszko Claude Dassary beat Tarzan Tourville 2/3 Falls: Fritz Von Erich & Hans Hermann beat Whipper Billy Watson & Hombre Montana 2-1 12-01-1958 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Bobo Brazil beat Lord Athol Layton Yukon Eric beat Fred Atkins 2/3 Falls: Whipper Billy Watson & Lenny Montana beat Fritz Von Erich & Hans Hermann 2-1 12-08-1958 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Fred Atkins vs Dara Singh Al Albertino vs Hombre Montana Yukon Eric & Bobo Brazil vs Fritz Von Erich & Hans Hermann 12-15-1958 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Pat Flanagan vs Firpo Zbyszko Dara Singh vs Hans Hermann Wrestling Bear vs Jacques Dubois Bobo Brazil vs Fritz Von Erich 12-22-1958 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena No wrestling 12-29-1958 - Monday: Niagara Falls, ON @ Memorial Arena Pat Flanagan vs Mike Valentino Little Beaver & Roger Littlebrook vs Fuzzy Cupid & Tom Thumb 2/3 Falls: Yukon Eric & Bobo Brazil vs Hans Hermann & Fritz Von Erich
