Leviathan

Once a dignified and honest sport, professional wrestling currently amounts to something between a side show and a racket. Main object of wrestling promoters is to discover human monstrosities. Last week Boston wrestling enthusiasts were treated to a glimpse of the latest addition to the wrestling group. He was Martin ("Leviathan") Levy, 35, 610 Ib.

Only less praiseworthy than the desire of wrestling promoters to exploit monsters is the willingness of monsters to have themselves exploited. No athlete, Levia than Levy is actually a victim of both elephantiasis and a weak heart. He runs a Boston parking lot, works intermittently in circuses, has so much appetite and so little fastidiousness that he eats peanuts in the shells. When wrestling, Leviathan Levy wears a tire tube for a belt. Off his feet, he requires four men to stand him up again. Opponents find him formidable be cause he is too big to hold, too slippery to twist, too heavy to lift. Leviathan Levy's only trick is to knock down an adversary with a blow of his paunch, then lie down on top of him. Currently trying to impair his appearance further by growing a beard, Leviathan Levy hopes next month to "wrestle" Man Mountain Dean (TIME, May 18).
