Wtd., Oct. 19, 1949, Tony Ross To Risk His Title In Battle With Al Szasz On Saturday Night's Mat Card Douglas county wrestling ani have had everything "Cinger," the grappling bear; "Gorgeous George," Wagner, and now e Pacific coast light-heavyweight championship between titlthold holder Tony Rots end challenger Al Sian. The Rosf-Szasz match will headline a three-star program at the Rosohurg armory Satur day night, and Matchmaker El ton Owen promises one or the most sparkling performances of the fall season, one that promises to pack the armory to capacity. Ross, the so-called 'Salem Sadist," announced that he Is willing to meet anyone, any where and anytime for the title he recently won in Vancouver, B. C, and Is confident he. can defeat the little bouncing Hun garian. Local railhirds aren't certain regarding Ross' ability to beat Siasz. whose. whip wrist locks have given him a victory record of 90 percent of hit match es in recent months. The semi-final attraction this week will send the Yaqul Kid against Pierre Lahollo, the tal ented French Canadian. The opener will match Leo Karl in ko in a grudge match against Yaqul Joe. Ross, who alternated between wrestler and boxer for several years. Is confident of beating any opponent, following his vic tory over Jack McLaughlin of Vancouver. Fact of the matter la, the Canadian was virtually invincible until Ross got through with him. The Salem grappler tossed out his fistic tactics, and boat the Canadian for the title with a blistering attack of drop- kicks and back-breakers. Szasz, like Rons, is along the spectacular style of wrestler and uses drop kirks and tactics ot that type. Ross, who was mid dleweight boxing champion in the southwestern sector for sev eral years, Is certain to employ slugging with his mat maneu vers and whether Szasz can ab sorb the physical beating ap pears problematical. Regardless of the outcome, the title tilt promises to be a torrid affair and fans are warned to make early reservations at Pow ell's. Fish-Trap Ruling Asked Of Attorney General PORTLAND, Oct. 19 (.
