SMALL TURNOUT AT USO MAT PROGRAM (Charleston WV Daily Mail, Tuesday, July 22, 1941)
"Mae Young, 18-year-old wrestler, headed for Atlantic City Tuesday to fill a mat engagement with boos still ringing in her ears following her Armory match with Ann LaVerne Monday night in the semifinal of the America Legion bill. After Miss LaVerne, 20-year-old Croatian girl with a cauliflower ear, had annexed the opening fall in 7:24, her 180-pound opponent ran amuck. Miss Young choked Miss LaVerne to win the second fall in 6:03 and go so unmanageable in the third, she was disqualified by referee Laverne Stokes in 2:46."
