Didn't Approve O'Dowdy's Tactics, so i He Took a Hand He couldn't stomach the stomp ing Patrick Henry; O'Dowdy was giving his No. 1 Arkansas Scuf- fler. Doc, at the armory last night so Tony Bernard!, behemoth, bearded manager of the Scufflers, took a hand. In fact, Tony took a hand and planted It squarely in the middle of O'Dowdy's mush, so to speak, and Doc promptly sat astride the ex-Oklahoma school master for the match. O'Dowdy Gets Tough Until Tony started throwing his dukes, O'Dowdy was a wild man. He rolled Doc in the resin in short order for the first fall, gluing him there with a half Boston crab. O'Dowdy lost the middle fall when Doc let loose a pair of hate-inspired haymak ers and' followed np with a body press. Ernie Piluso, Portland Italian, ran newcomer Jose Rodriquez through the gauntlet much, to the pleasure of a near-capacity house, but lost victory when an airplane spin backfired. He'd won the first fall from the touted Mexican, with whip wristlocks, lost the second when Rodriquez gripped him in a Boston crab, and appeared to be making the kill when catastrophe struck. Mexican Hangs on Coming out of the spin, Piluso attempted to dump Rodriquez out side the Ting but the Mexican hung on and both banged to the floor la a heap. Referee Harry Elliott counted both out and called the match a draw. Dopey drop-kicked his way to a two-out-of- three falls win over the villainous Tex Porter in the opener. Porter took the middle fall, using an arm-bar. Hostak to Fight Unnamed Battler SEATTLE.
