June Byers, defeated Mae Weston & Elvira Snodgrass 02/27 Joplin, MO vs. Elvira Snodgrass 03/04 Baltimore, MD defeated Violet Viann 03/05 Washington, DC defeated Violet Viann 03/10 Bismarck, ND vs. Kitty Duvall (aka Elvira Snodgrass) 03/11 Minneapolis, MN vs. Kitty Duvall 03/12 Grand Forks, ND vs. Kitty Duvall 03/14 Duluth, MN lost to Kitty Duvall 03/15 Brainerd, MN vs. Kitty Duvall TIME OUT with Maurice Smith Winnipeg Free Press; March 15, 1947 We have always been under the impression that any woman who would take up the sport of wrestling to make a living must be something of a freak. It was with this belief in mind that we journeyed to Grand Forks on Wednesday to see a couple of the gal spine-benders – Kitty Duvall and Gladys Hild – in action. And see them we did along with close to 1,600 North Dakotans and Minnesotans, many of whom had driven as far as 50 miles to be on hand for the show. We had expected to see a couple of female amazons step into the ring and come up with a lot of hair-pulling and what have you – anything that would give the fans a laugh for their money. But we got the surprise of our life. Miss Duvall was a little on the hefty side but you still couldn’t class her as a big woman, while youthful Gladys Hild was as trim and neat as a new pin. And she wasn’t hard to look at either, boys. Both girls proved to our satisfaction that they knew what the wrestling game was all about. Hair-pulling was strictly taboo. They went in for straight gruntin’ and groanin’ using toeholds, scissors and even a bodyslam for good effect. To be quite frank, we thought they put on a good show. There was nothing revolting about the match and the fans went for it in a big way. Personally, however, now that we’ve seen the women do their stuff we don’t care if we never see another bout. We’re still old-fashioned enough to believe that a woman’s place is in the home. After the match we interviewed both Misses Duvall and Hild. The former, a 150 pound red-head, has been a grunting and a groaning for nine years. She says it’s the greatest sport in the world. “I’d wrestle every day of the week and twice on Sunday if they’d let me,” said Miss Duvall. “There’s nothing wrong with women wrestling? It’s a good clean healthful sport. I have never been sick a day since I took up the game. “The big trouble is,” said the red-headed Duvall, “most people think that because a woman chooses wrestling as a career she’s nothing but a tough character with no morals whatsoever. Well that belief is all wrong. I stay at the best hotels wherever I go. I wear good clothes and I have never smoked or used alcohol in my life. I just like to wrestle and I can’t see anything wrong about that.” Miss Duvall told us that she makes around $11,000 yearly, and that she could earn more than that if she really wanted to work hard. “Now that’s far better than being a waitress at $20 a week and taking a lot of insults and abuse from smart-aleck customers, isn’t it?” Miss Duvall believes that in all there are 25 women professional wrestlers in the United States at present but that more and more are taking up the game. She says that women wrestlers are in demand at wrestling centres throughout the country and in many cases they draw bigger houses than the men. 04/21 Charlotte, NC defeated Mae Weston 04/28 Charlotte, NC lost to Dot Dotson 05/05 Charlotte, NC w/.

Fire Chief John Shelley issued an order last night that no seats would be permitted on the floor of Calgary’s Victoria Arena, planned site for the match. He issued the order without explaining whether he was just tightening up fire restrictions, or if he considered the gal grunt and groaners “hot stuff”. Wrestling officials said no restrictions had been placed on the arena floor for previous wrestling and boxing matches held there featuring all-male casts. Seats also were allowed on the floor during the ice carnival last winter, a circus this spring and other performances. The order would wipe out all ringside seats and close-up views of the performers – Nell Stewart of Memphis, Tenn., and Helen Hild, Omaha, Neb. 11/29 Bismarck, ND vs. Therese Theis 12/01 Zanesville, OH vs. Elvira Snodgrass 12/03 Columbus, OH lost to Mildred Burke (World women’s champion) 12/08 Cleveland, OH w/.

The ad in NWA Official Wrestling in May 1953--lists the Nell Stewart group with only June Byers, Lilly Bitter, Stewart, Gloria Shelton, Mary Jane Mull, Violet Viann, Marylin Shipman and Ida May Martinez--under the banner of Girl Wrestling Enterprises, Inc. Burke's group, Attractions, Inc., had Barattini, Mars Bennett, Carol Cook, Cora Combs, Dot Dotson, Louise Green, Betty Hawkins, Helen Hild, Ann Laverne, Millie Stafford, Therese Theis, Ella Waldek, Mae Young, Ruth Boatcallie, Carol Carotta, Donna Marie Dieckman, Ethel Johnson, Louise Johnson, Lynn Livingston, Terry Majors "wrestling's most beautiful girl," Jo Ann Mulleniex, Ella Phillips, Babs Wingo, Ethel Brown, Bonnie Watson, Kathleen Wembley, Belle Drummond, Olga Zepeda and Barbara Baker. All this changed in Sept. 1953, after Burke and Wolfe reached a settlement of their court battle. Several of these women went back to work for Wolfe, who took over Attractions Inc. Burke continued on with a new operations and far fewer women: Bonnie Watson, Millie Stafford, Susanne Smith, Mary Jane Mull, Beverly Morris, Terry Major and Ida Mae Martinez, according to a later ad, showing the group working on the ABC Booking Office out of Atlanta. 1954 01/18 Miami, FL Son Ted is born 08/24 Tampa, FL w/.

I explained fully, that while Carpentier has the right, if he wants to, to claim the title, nevertheless, insofar as the NWA is concerned, according to our rules, Thesz is still recognized as the heavyweight champion. I also stated, that if Carpentier comes into any town, they should publicize the fact that Thesz was disqualified in a match with him. However, in all your publicity, you should qualify the fact that Thesz is still recognized as the world champion, but that Carpentier is claiming the title by virtue of his victory. I also stated in the bulletin that your were booking Carpentier in cooperation with Eddie Quinn. Would appreciate it if you would send me, in detail, where he is booked and what the towns are. Also what the open dates are. Helen Hild, the girl wrestler, passed through St. Louis yesterday en route to South Carolina. She asked me what the prospects were of her working out of the Chicago office, and I told her I would check for her. She is a very pretty girl. She said she would call me in about a week, so if you are interested let me know before then, and I can give her the information. With kindest personal regards, I am, Sincerely, SAM MUCHNICK 07/13 Hickory, NC w/.
