H. Slsaon. president of the Mid-West Wrestling association, - granting permission . to place the belt at stake In the bont. It was the Mid-West Wrestling association which "last : summer purchased the costly, jeweled belt and conducted the tournament to determine the championship. , Robin Reed went Ihxourh the tournament undefeated and came back to his borne state here with a world's title tacked onto his name and carrying in his satchel a heavily studded pants holder. The latest word from Reed was received Tuesday wljen a mem ber of the Salem wrestling com mission talked with him- over the telephone on a long distance. call to Columbus, Ohio. Reed is a big drawing card In that section and is still able to win practically all of his bouts there. It was only by giving a $500 guarantee and assuring him of a good cut on the gate besides that Reed was secured to meet Jones. Dispute Over Weight Is Recalled Here Jones won from Reed ,ln Port land Just before the Robin flew to the east, but Reed retained the title because Jones weighed in one pound over the specified weight. Jones was loud in claim ing a robbery in the bout and, questioning the honesty of the scales used, clamored for another match. Jones even ventured that Reed had hastened to the east to forestall another meeting. This will mean that the bout here will be rather in the nature of a grudge meeting with the world title at stake besides. Jones will be In Salem Friday and will work out at the armory In prep aration for the coming melee. Reed will arrive on the scene of battle a few days before the bout. There will be 700 ringside eats where those who wish to be close and Jealously watch every move of the pair, can sit. In addi tion to the ringside seats there will be 4600 seats at a popular general ' admission price which will offer a good view of the match. The arena with special - bleachers and ringside seats will be placed In front of the grand stand at the fair grounds. " ' r - i - ; . ... , : - ' ' J- - ' . ' .. v . .L : ....... .

CLEAR LAKE WINS ELDRIEDGE Clear Lake won f to 5 from Eldrledge In a base ball game played Sunday at Buena Crest. By EDWARD J. NEIL NEW YORK, June 22 (AP) A sort of philosophical calm sup planted the arguments of the faithful today as Madison Square Garden counted gate receipts of about 1426,000 and three officials offered a weird tabulation of their manner of deciding that Jack Sharkey won the heavyweight ti tle from Max Schmeling. The two judges and referee agreed on only five of the IS rounds. Referee Gunboat Smith gave seven rounds to Sharkey, three to the defending champion, and call ed fire even. George Kelly, the Judge whose vote coupled with that of Smith gave Sharkey the title, .conceded the sailor the first seven rounds, Schmeling the next seven, and reached bis decision on the basis of Sharkey's superiority In the fi nal round. Yet Charles F. Mathlson, who voted tor Schmeling, had the Ger man winning 10 rounds and Shar key five. It was all so confusing the newspaper experts, a majority of whom thought Schmeling either had won or that the match was to close to deprive him of the title. gave up and decided the battle at no time had been interesting or thrilling enough to warrant any great amount of hysterical discus sion. Although tabulation was not complete, receipts from radio, movies, and the concessions at the big bowl on Long Island will swell the total Income from the fight to 1475,000. with a Garden profit of about $150,000. Schmeling will receive about 2160,000. Sharkey about $36,000. It was announced that Friday the New York State Athletic com mission would welcome any pro tests or arguments anyone wished to offer officially.

The Outfitters have established themselves as a slugging team, with Roberts, left fielder, and Repp, third baseman, as the lead ing members of their murderer's row. ' Each of these boys hit five times out of six trips to the plate in a recent game at Bend . With Walt Erlckson turning la a neat game at third base la the last two games. Manager Frank Burly Bash or has moved Lowell Gribble to the outfield to get the advantage of his slugging pro pen si ties. George Scales is now leading the regulars in hitting with .444. Gribble who has played one game and part of another is next with 400, and Trux Foreman Is third with .375. Erickson and Dwlght Adams are both In the slurrtr ciaas with .333 and .300 respee- uveiy. 0BSC!3EEMIS Yamato is Loser To West Stayton The Yamato baseball foam with eight hits and eight errors w west stayton's 13 hits and (wo errors was defeated by i 10 to 8 score on the West Stay ton diamond.

The North Howell grange baseball team met SHverton Hills Sunday on the home field and won by a score of 4 to 2. Next Sunday's game will be with Union Hills grange at North Howell. The final detail te. the world welterweight chane pioaahip wrestUag match here betweea Robia Reed, title hold er, aad Henry Jones, ch alien ger, was brushed, aside Wed nesday with receipt of the sanction of the Mid-Weet Wres tling association. Now Just where does that out fit come In? Well, the associar tloa conducted the tournament a year ago and paid for the belt which Reed had with him here last winter; and whenever that belt goes up, the association gets a small cut on the receipts, to help reimburse It for the cost of the belt and . of conducting the tournament. Real world championship contests are scarce as hen's teeth in Oregon, aad Salem is going on the sport map in a big way by staging this match here. The local boxing and wrestling commission is to be congratula ted for getting this one, as well as for a certain amonat of nerve. The guarantee to Reed is no small amount tfiese days. Bat we haven't mach doubt that the show win pay. Why shouldn't it? While the heavyweights usually get the no toriety and the big money, wel terweight wrestling is a lot fast er; and this bout, between men known to be practically equal In ability, assures a fast, colorful event In addition to the world championship angle; which la more than most big champion ship bouts provide. The feeling now seems to be that the big fight in New York wasn't enough of a fight to merit mach howling over the outcome. But if it was framed, either on behalf of Sharkey by his old tilUcums on the New York boxing commission or for purposes of promoting a re match, the fight game has suf fered a big black eye. We hope, if that was the racket and they are rematched, the public will stay away and let Schmeling regain his title without profit PIRATES UITIID. HI I PLACE YATX0VA2, XXlGTTa W. I. poU - : . W.
