Building a Book on Alabama Pro Wrestling History (Part 4)

    Back in Montgomery, at the Archives, trying to knock out the last years of Birmingham I need to get rolling on the writing part of this project.  I will be mighty glad to get to that.  Today, I knocked out the rest of what I was missing from 1931, and picked up January through August of 1936, which leaves me a day and a half to try to get as much of the remaining 52 months as I can.  I don't think I'll quite make it, but having wrapped up 1931, at least I can get started writing as I now have the beginning of the wrestling boom in Alabama.

    It would appear that what Chris Jordan ultimately built into a multi-state territory by 1940 began with a man by the name of Curtis Sanford, who began promoting boxing for the American Legion in Birmingham in February of 1931.  This was specifically the Gorgas Post No. 115, that got the ball rolling.  The first wrestling card was held on April 6th, and deadlined by Ernie Dusek vs. John Katan with an undercard of Homer Smiles vs Billy Edwards and three boxing matches.  Smiles would go on to be a very popular football coach (there is a stadium named after him in Leeds), and Billy Edwards would soon be better known as Bad Bill Edwards, one of the more prominent heels to work cards mostly around the Birmingham area.

     The State of Alabama had recently reorganized its athletic and boxing commission, and under the new rules, only American Legion posts were to be issued promoting licenses for boxing and wrestling, so that the Legion could use the proceeds from the events to continue their community and charitable work.   By 1930, Birmingham was large enough that it had two Legion Posts, typically referred to as Post No. 1 and the Gorgas Post (No. 115).  Almost instantly, there was contention between the two posts, that would take a couple of years to shake out.  In the years and decades to follow, Post No. 115 would merge into Post No. 1, and the name of General Gorgas would be retained, and the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) organization would be given equal footing with the American Legion in the state, as far as promoting sporting events.

  By April 16th, Sanford stepped aside when the American Legion (Post No. 1) brought in Sam Siegel, along with his connections to Rudy Dusek, and thus the talent pool of Jack Curley of Jim Londos, Jim McMillen and the Duseks, all the way down to "Rubber Man" Sol Slagel.  Siegel wrote a series of articles for the Birmingham News from mid-April to June, explaining the "new style" of wrestling, introducing many of the wrestlers that would be coming to Alabama, as well as some brief history of the last few years and how he came to be in Birmingham.

  Most of the towns that began running wrestling over the following years seem to have begun as boxing towns.  In the first few years, mixed boxing and wrestling cards were common, and in a couple towns, like Sheffield and Huntsville, boxing was often the more popular, resulting in extended periods with no wrestling.  Battling Bozo was probably the most popular draw in boxing in the state in the early 1930s, both for his comedic boxing stylings, as well as his frequent appearances as a special guest referee.

   The American Legion post in Tarrant City began holding boxing cards in May, and by August, had appointed Kid Lott as their new boxing and wrestling promoter, and held their first wrestling card on August 11th.  The snowball effect kicked in, and shortly thereafter, American Legion posts all over the state wanted in on the action, promoting their own boxing and wrestling events, and thus the Alabama wrestling boom of the 1930s was born.

     A few bits of good news came out of the past week.  First and foremost, when my first two reels of the 1934 Birmingham News arrived at the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library, I was only assessed a fee of $2.  The HMCPL only charges $1 per microfilm reel for processing Inter-Library Loan requests, and apparently they were able to find the microfilm somewhere other than the state archives.  And apparently that other library didn't charge anything for loaning out their films.  YAY!  I also found that the HMCPL allows up to 5 concurrent ILL requests, so I went ahead and requested the next 5 months of 1934.  If all goes well, I hope to be mid way through 1935 by the end of July.

     I made the long trek to Montgomery yesterday to get started on the Montgomery Advertiser.  While I was fortunate to catch them on a weekend they were open (2nd weekend of every month, just like the Archives in Birmingham), they were also holding a genealogy seminar that morning.  On the positive side, it meant for the first 4 hours I was there, things were quiet in the Research Room and there was no waiting for one of the two (TWO! Seriously, just two?  The Tennessee State Archives has about ten!) microfilm scanners, but once the seminar let out, it started to get busy, so I packed it in for the long drive home.
     While there, I managed to knock out 15 months worth of the Advertiser, from November 1931-January 1933.  Another positive discovery was that the Montgomery Advertiser was a much smaller paper than I had anticipated, to the point where they could fit two and sometimes three months on a single reel.  So my original estimate of 120 reels to cover 1931-1940 for Montgomery has been revised down to 55-60 reels.  The combination of fewer reels to borrow, and the dramatically reduced fees greatly reduce my projected expenses for this project, which is a very good thing.

     A couple of quick notes on what I found in the films I got through: Sam Siegel, heavyweight promoter in Birmingham, was announced in November 1931 as the new matchmaker for Montgomery Post No. 2, replacing Roy B. Strickland, who had requested to be relived of the duty due to being too busy with his own business.  Naturally, big things were promised with Siegel coming in, but in the fifteen months I scanned through, he only ran a handful of shows at the end of 1931 into early 1932.  Though I didn't find any big announcement, in June, arrangements had been made for Chris Jordan to begin running weekly shows at the Cramton Bowl, kicking things off in style with a main event between former world heavyweight champ Gus Sonnenberg against Jim Hesslyn (repeatedly misspelled as Kesslyn in the Advertiser) on June 8th.  An estimated 1,000 fans turned out for the show.

     Since I was there, I also asked them to pull their hard copy of the 1938 Huntsville Times to try to fill in more details for a show that was advertised for Wednesday, 20 April 1938.  The microfilm at the HMCPL was missing that issue, and so was GenealogyBank.com.  As it turns out, the Archives were also missing that issue.  Tuesday the 19th jumped straight to Thursday the 21st, with no mention of no paper having been printed for the 20th.  So I have to assume, they just failed to acquire that issue, and that the microfilms were probably taken from the hard copies at the Archives.  As no mention was made of the show in the 21 April issue, and it was the last show announced in 1938, I'm leaning toward it having been cancelled due to poor turnout.  A few days later an announcement was made that wrestling and boxing shows would be suspended "until the present political campaign is finished."  Must have been a long campaign as shows were not resumed until July of 1939.

     As a progress report, last week I had noticed that I'd apparently not abstracted the cards and results from the Tuscaloosa News, even though I had all the clippings collected already, so I knocked that out (thanks to the mid-week holiday), and have updated the grid on the first of these posts.  While 1932 was a very busy year, with a lot of small towns being run, I suspect once Jordan expanded to Dothan, Montgomery and Mobile, that towns like Tarrant City, Bessemer and Homewood were largely abandoned.  There was only so much talent to go around, so it would only have made sense for Jordan to have concentrated his efforts in the larger towns where he could stand to make a lot more money.

     I finished gathering clippings from Gadsden this weekend, so I now have 1933-40 to cover Gadsden, and the shows from neighboring Attalla in 1939-40.  Joe Gunther started running shows in Gadsden again with a special Independence Day show, but either he only ran sporadically after that, or the newspaper just stopped giving the shows regular coverage.  Possibly due to a frequent postponements due to weather, because shows were being run mainly in the Amphitheater, Jordan, and later Gunther, just put Gadsden on a lower priority.  A lot of shows were rained out over 1938-39, even some shows scheduled for the City Auditorium.  Possibly that is why they began running shows in Attalla.

     Unfortunately, I was wrong about the library at Samford.  I paid them a visit a couple of months ago and found that, while their catalog system still lists a lot of the newspapers I need (for Birmingham, Montgomery & Mobile), their actual microfilm holdings had suffered a really bad case of vinegar syndrome, and they lost a large percentage of what I needed.  When speaking with a librarian at the Birmingham Archives, they said hey'd had the same problem a few years ago, but that Birmingham had replaced everything they lost.  Apparently Samford lacked the budget to do the same.

Birmingham Archives

     As a result, I will have to keep making trips to Birmingham, and possibly to Montgomery.  I'm working out the relative costs of utilizing the inter-library loan system to just have the reels I need sent up to Huntsville and/or Decatur.  The issue there is the Alabama Department of Archives & History charges $15 per reel, with a limit of only two reels per loan.  So $30 a pop (plus probably a couple of dollars to the local library) for two reels, which for B'ham and Montgomery means roughly two months of newspaper.  And so far, that process seems to be slow.  I put my application in for the first two months of the 1934 Birmingham News a week ago and haven't heard anything yet.

     So, doing some basic math, I need roughly 10 years of newspapers from three major Alabama cities.  If each reel is only a month, that's something like 360 reels of microfilm.  At $15 a pop, that would run me $5,400, not including any local fees the library will charge for their effort.   Now I can get through anywhere from 8-12 reels of microfilm in a day, if I'm at the library all day.  Maybe more, I've only had one complete day so far.  Each trip to Birmingham costs me around $50, (estimating $30 for gas & $20 for food). And since I've already got 1932-33 covered, that leaves me with another 8 years to cover, which means roughly $400.
   
     I really don't think I can work any faster there because Birmingham uses the the ST ViewScan III, which is decent enough hardware, but the ViewScan software is buggy as hell and crashes constantly.  That issue, combined with the annoying library patron kiosk software intended to keep users locked into a restricted sandbox, for security purposes.  However, none of the librarians seem to know how it works!  If they had the admin password, they could at least launch the Task Manager and kill the ViewScan software so it could be relaunched without having to terminate and re-start my session, over and over.  Every other library I've visited (that has a microfilm scanner) has the e-Image Data ScanPro series of machine, which works so much better, doesn't crash (except maybe once per day), and doesn't have the annoying security software locking down their machines.  On those, I can get a lot more work done, a lot more quickly.

Alabama Department of Archives & History

    For Montgomery, I've got an extra 2 hours, round-trip, so call it $60 per trip to accommodate the extra gas.  Having not used their scanners before, I don' t know what models they have.  I need to email them and ask.  If they have the ViewScans, I'm screwed.  But if, by some miracle, they have the ScanPros (like the Tennessee State Archives have), I can probably get through 12-14 reels in a day.  Also, Montgomery has the entire newspaper archive for the state of Alabama, so I can knock out Montgomery, Mobile and Dothan, all at the same place.  The Dothan Eagle was only a weekly paper, so probably not more than 3-4 reels per year, so upwards of 48 reels (probably less), plus the estimated 120 for Mobile and 120 for Montgomery, and that's 288 reels to get through.  At 14 reels per trip, that's roughly 20 trips, at $60 each for $1,200 expenses.  So actually going there saves me roughly $3,800 over the inter-library loan route, though it does add a lot of wear & tear on my car with all that driving.

    Now I understand, so clearly, why Scott Teal says there's not really any money in publishing books on wrestling history.

Building a Book on Alabama Pro Wrestling History (Part 1)

     I don't really know why I decided to try to write a book on professional wrestling history in Alabama.  It is a subject I know absolutely nothing about. Apparently very few people know anything about it prior to the 1950s.  Most of the questions I've asked of the people who I'd think would know come back with very little.  That's not to say I don't get the occasional pointer to some one else or some other source.  But outside the heavyweight title picture, there just hasn't been a lot of work produced to cover wrestling in the 1930s, much less in Alabama.  There are some show results posted to wrestling forums here and there, but nothing collected and nothing comprehensive.  And even what has been posted is effectively just the raw cards and results with no context provided.

    So I was curious, what kind of history of wrestling does Alabama have?  When did it start?  Who were the movers and shakers that got the ball rolling to result in what became the Mid-America, Continental and Gulf Coast territories, and ultimately the fairly vibrant independent scene that exists today?

     Last December (2016), I had some unexpected money land in my hands, and figured I'd finally spring for a subscription to Newspapers.com.  That, combined with my existing subscription to GenealogyBank.com and what existed on the all-but-defunct Google Newspaper Archive, gave me a big pool of resources to work with, even though there wasn't a lot of coverage for Alabama prior to the 1950s.  Add to that about 15 years worth of research skills and knowledge from researching my family history and I had a lot of tools waiting on a project.

    The first big resource I discovered was WrestlingData.com (the English version of GenickBruch.com), a massive database of wrestling information started by a group of fans in Germany.  And while it had over 320,000 shows listed when I first started searching it, I found that, aside from results from shows over the last 10 years, and a handful of scattered results from Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile and Anniston, Alabama was effectively unrepresented from a historical perspective.   And more recently, shows I had attended in the last 15 years were also not listed.  I'm a sucker for a massive database project, so I decided to see what I could do about filling in that void from 1900-1950.

     I have no idea how long this project is going to take, but here are my ideas, thus far, as to what it will cover.

When?  To try to keep this to something I can accomplish in my lifetime, I've decided to focus on the 1930s.  From my research so far, this seems to be when "big time" pro wrestling was introduced to Alabama on a major scale outside of just the three big cities (Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile).  I'm just defining "big time" as weekly shows with a somewhat consistent roster.

Who?  Without question, the single man to do the most to establish wrestling across the state was Chris Jordan.  Jordan was a nationally known championship level middleweight wrestler in the 1910s-1920s.  At the end of his in-ring career, he settled first in Jasper, and then finally in Fairfield (now basically a suburb of Birmingham) and quickly became the top promoter of wrestling in Alabama.   Jordan died unexpectedly in 1940, at the age of 56, which cut short what would have been a legendary promoting career.  For me, his death helped define an era on which I could focus, that being the 1930s.

      I'm trying to decide if I want to include his wrestling career in this book, or if I want to leave that as a separate project.  I will probably concentrate on his promoting career, and depending on how large a book that results in, make a decision on this later.  If I leave it for later, it may be in included in the larger context of non-heavyweight wrestling in those early years of the sport.

     Below I will track my progress as I work through the various newspapers for the busier wrestling towns in 1930's Alabama.  A black box indicates there was no wrestling in that town for that year.  Or at least none reported in the newspaper.  No fill color means I haven't started on that year/town. Proofed means I've cleaned up any typos and fixed the formatting and complete means I've decided naming standards and updated all of the names to fit (for instance, I'm choosing Knichel over Knichels, Knichol, Knickel, Knickles, etc).

Progress:

Birmingham
Decatur
Dothan
Fairfield
Gadsden
Homewood
Huntsville
Jasper
Mobile
Montgomery
Sheffield
Tarrant City

     There was wrestling in a few smaller towns (Albertville, Cullman and Leeds come to mind), but since they either were not run regularly or I haven't found any card details or results, I'm not going to include them in the table.  Progress for Sheffield includes shows in Florence, and progress for Gadsden includes shows in Attalla.

I see the project following this basic process:

Research - accumulate everything I can find from newspaper archives and hope that I come across some other resources to help flesh out the dry cards and results with historical context and photos.

Writing - actually write the prose of the book to tell the story of the rise of Chris Jordan's promotion in the 1930's, amid the depth of the depression and cover prominent story lines and programs.  Write short bios for as many of the performers and personalities as possible.  Fill in the context of contemporary events happening in Alabama and across the world during the 1930s.

Quality Control - this includes proof reading for typos, as well as basic fact checking and settling on spellings for various wrestlers whose names were spelled a half dozen different ways from one source to the next

Layout - this is where all of the newspaper snippets, photos and possibly charts and maps would be added to the text and organized in a format that is ready for print or e-book release.

Publishing - See the book printed and made available for both of you who might be interested in seeing the finished result.

     The first two stages will likely coincide a bit, as it will take a very long time to accumulate all the information I need for Birmingham, Dothan, Mobile and Montgomery, and I don't want to be idle while waiting to be able to travel to the Alabama state archives in Montgomery.

[In-Progress] Wrestling in Alabama, 1932

     I'm in the research and information gathering phase of a project that I hope will result in a book, or books, on the history of regular, modern pro wrestling in Alabama.  There has been a lot of work done on the Gulas/Welch era of the late 1940s-1970s, but very little work seems to have been done (or at least published) on the prior era of the sport in Alabama.  And while there are several works covering wrestling from 1900-1930, almost all of it is focused on the heavyweight title picture and the associated evolution of various wrestling cartels, ultimately resulting in the formation of the National Wrestling Aassociation, and later the National Wrestling Alliance.  I'm hoping to add something to the void that is the light heavyweight wrestling scene, at least in Alabama, during the 1930s.

     While there was wrestling in Alabama during the 1900-1930 time period, most of it was clustered around Birmingham in the early 1930s, but that would change dramatically in 1932, under the guidance of Chris Jordan.   This post will be my test-bed for working out the formatting and content of what I hope to eventually be "A History of  Pro Wrestling in Alabama: The Chris Jordan Years (1931 - 1940)".

     1932 was the year former welterweight and middleweight champion Chris Jordan would begin taking over light heavyweight wrestling in Alabama.  Jordan had come to the area in 1931 as a wrestler and promoter of carnival athletic shows.  In December of 1931, the American Legion suspended Jim Beasley, the promoter of shows in Fairfield, for "irregularities" and temporarily installed Al H. Fine, of Minneapolis, as the new promoter for Fairfield.  In late December of 1931, Chris Jordan was named as the American Legion's new promoter for Jasper (1931-12-27 B'ham News) and Fairfield (1931-12-28 B'ham News), when Al Fine decided he needed to return home (the paper says to Indianapolis, despite saying he was from Minneapolis previously).

Unless otherwise noted, all cards were sponsored by Chris Jordan.

(Tarrant Theater) ... Tom Malloy vs Scotty Dawkins ... ? vs ? ... Future shows were mostly a mix of amateur boxing and amateur wrestling.  I suspect this was a financial decision as the pro wrestling shows had not been drawing well, and by going to a full amateur card, the post wouldn't have to pay the talent to perform.

     In late 1931 to early 1932, wrestling was only promoted sporadically in Tuscaloosa, usually as part of mixed cards paired with both pro and amateur boxing and the occasional amateur wrestling match, often with participants from the University of Alabama.  Chris Jordan began providing talent for Tuscaloosa in March of 1932, but due to cold weather regular shows would not start until March 31st.  From mid-June to the end of September, only straight boxing cards were held.

Maynor Field was the original airport serving Tuscaloosa, starting in 1929. Hargrove Van de Graaff owned the land adjacent to Maynor Field, where the newer, larger airport would be built.

     An article in the May 23rd Decatur Daily announced that Butler P.A. Hine, promoter for local American Legion Post No. 15, would be bringing boxing and wrestling to Decatur in cooperation with promoter Chris Jordan, who had found great success promoting cards in Fairfield, Alabama. This would be the first in a run of regular shows that would continue until Jordan's death in 1940. The initial run of shows was staged outdoors at the Alabama Hosiery Mills baseball park.

     The Decatur Daily rarely reported actual, or even estimated, attendance numbers for the shows. Most often the writers just described the crowds as “large” or “light”.

Though no promoter was mentioned in the article, this was either Chris Jordan's first card in Montgomery, or the local American Legion ran this show with his talent, but without his promoting
assistance as the Montgomery Advertiser reported a paltry $10 gate. There was no advertising or announcement in the newspaper of this show, only the results were posted after the fact.  Subsequent shows were preceded by the usual two or three days of hype and the occasional ad.
