Kalllo was -.thrown - from the ring here last night by Young Joe Stecher; He landed in the lap of a rinsslder who har been boo ing" him throughout the bout. A . Kalllo attempted to .'regain his feet the heckler allegedly pushed him and kicked him In the back. Kallio - turned and struck at him, ringsiders said. He missed and the unidentified spectator struck him. As Kallio' staggered back ward another man struck him. -Unaware of his Injuries, Kallio climbed back Into the ring and defeated Stecher; ".After the boat a physician discovered Kall'o's law was fractured. '." . Reports here today said Kallio or his friends would file warrants 4 or the arrest of two Seaside men who allegedly were the assailants. Hospital attendants here said Kallio probably would not be able to wrestle- again; for two. months. TILUiraOlfSiT MJE FRIDAY The- ?alem high wrestling team Is rapidly rounding into condition for the opening in Salem Friday night against the Tillamook rrapnlers. ; . In the. meet at Tillamook, the Cheesemakera won. 84 to 17. but it was the first match, for the lo cals and Coach Philpott believes that his men have improved suf ficiently to outpoint the lads from the coast hre Friday. The squad Is working hard and displaying a lot of interest The meet win In clude seven or eight matches, In different weights. : At present the members of the squad Include: Osland and Jr. Llndstrom. below 100 pounds; A. .Richardson and George Yoshikoi. 118: Skewis and Fbrrls, 135; .Cannon, Tennant, 'It.

I.. i " Young Joe Stecher of Cliicao, who will tineet WUdrat Mocaan Sev tonight, due to Gas Kal ' injury, wUirh will prevent Mm from- appearing. Stecher was wrestling Kalllo at Astoria when a spectator smashed the champion Jaw. I gene, Portland and Salem will be represented. I A northwest contest will be held at .Westminster, B. C. but Salem will not enter because of the excess of 400 miles distance to travel. . i SCHEDULE LISTED The coaches of the j Marion county high' school 'A and B leagues met at Salem high Wed nesday night; to discuss plans. for baseball and to arranre the snrinr schedules in that sport. It was decided to conduct the B league in baseball in the same manner - as' it was conducted In basketball, with the county divid ed Into the northern and southern sections. The A teams j of the county include Woodburn, Chem awa, Silverton and Salem. Last season. . Woodburn" won the A league championship and Mt. An gel won out in the. B league. Par rl&h Junior Wglt. W.1U play In the B league- in baseball. , The coaches decided to use the R&wllngs ball for the season. The Rawllngs- ball is handled locally by Cadwell and Parker, -who aro offering a trophy to the winner of the A league and offer to get at cost a trophy for. the B league. 1 Queer happening that, down at Astoria the other night when a spectator into whose lap Gus Kal lio fell on diving out of the ring, socked hlnv tn the Jaw and frac tured it. Guess our recent criti cism ot sportsmanship levels' in wrestllnr as compared to boxing should have taken in ringsiders as well as participants. As matter of fact Uiere'e a rlos connection because wrest lers wouldn't do the things that would be nnsportsmanlike in other sports.' if the spectators ' . didn't condone it. . Probably some ot you read what Grantland Rice had to say about modern 'wrestling In Col liers last week. He quoted an ; unnamed wrestler, as saying the boys had to put a lot of hokum Into the game to get the crowds. We have contended for a long time that a lot of the rvugh. stuff was generally hokum and-'that straight wrestling . was really more punishing, and there was one wrestler who admitted It. Art O'Reilly, -who took part in the preliminary at Astoria Tues day night, said Kalllo' showed plenty-of reason why he was a, champion, but that Stecher made a good showing against him. O'Reilly wasn't sure Just: what the unnamed spectator had! against Kalllo, but the. presumption seems to be he didn't like to be landed on in such unceremonious fashion. Arwy we're grolnjt to eeo one champion Im action tonight, eten If not the one who held special glamour because he ' .came fromaJai h t-i; It O. Damon says onr poetic ef forts are lifting this column out of the "obscurity" which has been attributed to It.

' " " ; ' - ? The winners of tonight's games will play Friday night with to nights losers playing the prelim inary. Monmouth and' Molalla are picked by some as the. strong est teams. . but others ' are prone to rate the Redmen high. ' Molalla will be a tit crippled in tonight's game due to the loss of a regular man who played center; He suf fered . a ' dislocated toe in . the Clackamas county playoff . with Oregon City. ' . The men who will start for Molalla tonight are Everh'art and Larson forwards, ' ConrlH" center, and Slyter and Hibbard guards. Coach . Hartung reports that ' his reserve strength Is weak and that the regular five will have to carry the brunt of' the-attack. Molalla baa already r defeated Gresham, but it, was earlier in the 'season and will have little bearing on tonight's game: ." ... v i" . ..-.. CHEMAWA.

They, have also overcome the tendency to throw the ball away , which was quite common with them earlier in the season. If the Indians can click at all like they have In soma of their recent games there is like ly to be whoopie at Chemawa to night. Dog Eagle May Play After AH , 1 Dominie Dog- Eagle, who won himself a regular guard position early in the season br Mi all. around good work but who was ordered to the sidelines recently for a complete rest might be back into uniform for this game.

In the event that Dog Eagle is permitted to play he will be available as a relief man at either forward or guard.
