Bulldog Jackson has signed up for another match with - Reed at the armory next Tuesday night. The alleged chair-swinging affair took place at the climax of this week s wrestling show. This show, however, will be dif ferent. For the first time In re cent sport history in Salem, .the bout will be for j three falls out of five, nothing barred and no time limit excepting . the mid night deadline Imposed by city lawbooks. Jackson may perhaps, demand a different referee, inasmuch as he has objected violently to the rulings and actions of Vern Harr ington in the last several bouts the Bulldog has engaged In here. but his present viewpoint on that Question Is that since nothing Is barred ..except of course the strangle there's no use in having a referee In there save as a formality, and Harrington will do as well as anyone. Controversy Is still raging whenever two or. more fans get together, over whether Reed did knock Jackson out with a chair: unless all of those in the group happen to have seen It the same way, and that seldom happens. despite the apparent simplicity of the question. Everyone who was there is positive, one way or the other, bnt opinion Is pretty even ly divided.

The keenest Last years BATTING KlMK the murderous appearing Babel Ruth. ODoul crouches slightly, fixes the pitcher with a cold stare, and when he swings it is a straight forward lunge. You may not be able to tell a dog by his bark, but you generally are wised up sufficiently after he has grabbed off a few bites to heed bis future vocalizing. And so it is with Mr .ODonL His stance is no idle barking. There art bites in his battle-axe. : " What appeals to us Is the fact that O'Doul's aggressiveness, fsr from a pose, is actually a part of the man the part that has enabled him to overcome staggering ob- . stacles and vush ahead to lead both leagues as champion hitter. He has achieved that pinnacle twice in four years. Last year Lefty bis monicker is Frank batted .368, and his aver age for league playing is .366. He is the closest thing to perfection tn kind of studying has made him mas ter of batting form aad yet, at least twice in his career, the boys were ready to call O'Doul out ot the game forever. The first time was in 1929 when Lefty was with the Giants. He suf fered a severe leg injury, and he was one of the few who believed he could ever play again. McGraw traded him to Philadelphia, aad O'Doul made himself recover. That year he annexed the batting: crown of both leagues for the first time, falling short of the .400 mark by two points. That was certainly a recovery. Then, last season, a pitched ball in a pre-season exhibition game put the O'Doul batting wrist out of commission. . He eouldnt even grin a bat. But the fine quality in the man that makes a winner brought him back into uniform, and he rap idly overhauled the leadin hitters to finish way out in front. The great slugger started out as a pitcher and was a mouBdaman for the Yankees and for the Boston Red Sox, but the outfield claimed him when an Injury to his pitching arm : easea turn out or the box. it then that he applied himself tor alugging: and the close attention he' gave to his work has borne no un- . certain fruit. .
