muscled characters who put ; the
punch in the ' '.'Tuesday night

den, do their bit along with Mr.
and Mrs." Rudy Rassle Fan toward
making the local infantile paral

amongst village sportsters a , suc
cess tonight by: rallying 'round

admission prices merely, a hefty
slice off the receipts of the week

fund, along with personal dona-

Expected to be completely the
opposite of the main event is to
night's semiwindup between Jack
; "Pinrup. Boy" Kiser and Frenchy
La Belle. r They've tackled each
other before here and have never
left a doubt in the' minds of any
one who's seen them perform that

ness they're tops. They both know
and. use, but fast, every wrestling
hold in the book.

it great stuff to be able to "take;

nothing better : than to regain

doubt be In a "passing out"

to' one Moanin' Morry Arnovich, the former Major league ball

Fort Lewis Warriors baseball

ver AAU tourney, last year, for u
the RC boys, isn't playing for
the "hello boys any more,' and
as of right now. Neither is Earl Torgeson, the 50,000 prewar base
ball beauty belonging to Seattle's Rainiers , . . Both were "brass
hatted" off the club, says' our informant and Arnovich is ow
hot after the Services of Roger WileyJ the 61foot 8-incher from
Oregon . . Apparently Just one big happy family ; . . All of which
should make one Howard Hobsoh laugh out loud, for his Oregon Ducks
play the deflated Reception Renter quint in Portland Wednesday
night. Sans Bishop and Torgeson, the "hello" boys will be some
what deflated, all right . . . With all that heat up, should be a warm
evening the night the RC and Warrior quints get together for the
post championship ... It's .'"Slicker" and not "Slickers" meet at
Ere Kay's turfed acres pertaining
linksmen will surely wear before
tations sported by some of the combatants. The wy some fo the
boys figure their handicaps it could well be called "Slickers" meet
at that ...
Farmer Hal Would Ieaye Farm
Lt. Bill Beard, who, take it from us still knows how to play golf,
says he stopped by Yoncalla, Ore., to buzz with former teammate
Hal Turpin, ! the Seattle Rafnier mound magician, and found that
if Turpin can findVsomebody to ride herd on his farm next sum
mer he'll return to a Rainier ball suit to ride herd on PCL batters.
. . When Boss Emil Sick hears of that he'll probably transfer Tom
Hoi man from selling Sick's jSelect to harvesting Turp's turnips -. . .
Nothing went amiss with the polio benefit sweepstakes tourney the
golf clubbers were supposed to have held Saturday they concocted
a better plan. Instead of matching mashies for the five or 10 bucks
Utwould have meant for the fund
instance a seale cigar box-on the clubhouse counter. Much more
mazuma will be benefitted ;that way claims "bartenders" Kay and
Cliff Parker . . . Speaking of the golfing clan, if they have as much
fun Thursday night during the annual all-free party as tournament
committee members Bud Waterman, Millard Pekar, et al had while
making up plans for same ;he clambake should be a howling suc
cess Cuba Libres and all ; . . Suppose; .you saw where National
.Semipro Baseball Boss Ray Dumont has been scheming again. Now
he wants to have batters head for either first OR third when, they
hit the ball. Figures it'll add more zip to the game. Also sees great
sport for the fans if two rjunners, one from first base, the other
from third tried stealing second at the same time, both sliding in
together . . . Go get him boys, and take the strait-jacket with you.
". . . Dumont's the same character whoj last summer hired the gal
umpire who came near causing a riot during the national tourney
and the year before hatched the idea wherein umpires would ride
herd over the diamond on Itlectrically-bperated cranes ... Great
and unbelievable things are invented nowadays, but Mister Dumont,
apparently a promotional genius with a knack for hitting head
lines, doesn't have to jverdoj ...
