the match a slight favorite against
a rival who Is capable of register
ing an upset. Before accepting Ihe
malch, Stojack demanded a $250
guarantee and a return match In

The S250 guarantee will be
tough on Owen, whose title malch
will get plenty of competition
from a circus performance. He
recommends the circus matinee
and the Saturday night wreslllng

have held the malch off for an

DISLIKE "COBBLERS"
GREAT YARMOUTH, England
(.) British shoemakers don't
like to be called "cobblers."
The National Federation of
Boot Trades Associations adopted
a resolution asking newspapers
to slop using "this offensive
word."
Few delegates to its confer
ence backed a speaker who said
"cobbler" was part of the lan
guage and objecting to it would
only draw more funny head
lines. Most of them sided with
another man who said the only
meaning he knew for "cobbler"
was "clumsy workman."
Dictionary definitions of the
word include both shoe mender
and clumsy workman.

By GRAHAM BERRY
Auocteled Preu Sporuwrlter
Loop-leading Hollywood and
runner-up San Diego are winning
their Coast League games nowa
days, bv pitching rather than by
their vaunted power at the plate.
At least that was the way it
was Tuesday night when the
Stars edged Oakland, 4-3, and the
Padres nudged Portland, 5-1.
Hollywood's George (Pinky)
Woods racked up his eighth vic
tory in setting the Acorns back.
He permitted 11 hits, but allowed
no piore than two in any one
inning.
San Diego's Jess Flores limited
the Beavers to seven blows, and
held them scoreless until the
ninth, when the boys with the
basement complex came through
with their lone counter on two
safeties.
Denny Galehouse gave up
seven hits to toss Seattle to a
6-4 win over Sacramento. Bob
Gillespie, Galehouse's opponent,
was victimized by four miscues.
Gnly three Rainier runs were
earned.
Clarence Maddern singled with
the bags full to give Los Angeles
a 10-to-9 win over San Francisco.
The Angels won despite the
generosity of four pitchers who
handed "out 12 walks among
them.
Stone implements were wide
ly used In most areas during all
of the bronze age and well into
the iron age.
