JCty u the winning action in last night's triple-tag main event at the Armory, witnessed by over 1,300
fans, came when Jack Kiser gave Leo Wallick a well-placed kick (above) just as Wallick was ap
plying a pile-driver hold on Pepper Gomez. The kick upset Wallick and Gomez body dropped him
for winning fall. Ricki Starr looks a if he would like to take a punt at Wallick on left also. (See
story below.)

Gomez nad taken a severe pum
meling by all three of the culprits
before Wallick came on to apply
what looked to be the finish.
In earlier falls Stars, Gomez
and Kiser took spectacular turns
at drop-kicking Kamaroff about
the premises, and Starr finally
nailed him with an airplane spin.
Then in No. 2, as Weaver was
busy trying to keep all three
meanies out of the ring, Wallick
sneaked in his pile driver on
Kiser for the fall.
Kiser could hardly make it back
for the third, arriving after it had
started. But he got there just in
time. Also, the busy Weaver,
given a bad time of it all tnrougn
the mix by the nasties, quickened
his count on Wallick. Which
didn't please them at all.
In the prelim, George Drake,
subbing for Weaver since Buck
asked Matchmaker Elton Owen to
referee the mainer all by himself,
came out winner over Eric (The
Arrogant) Pederson in a hot
match in which chesty Eric was
disqualified in the third fall. This
went over right big with the cli
ents also.

tickets already had been sold. He
predicted a house of $500,000 or
more with a break from the weath
er. The weather man held the key
to the success of the entire ven
ture. If the fight has to be pushed
fcack, it must be delayed a full
week until Thursday. June 24.
Norris explained this unusual
situation was the result of a con
flict with night ball games Tues
day and Friday and lack of coaxial
cable facilities for theater televi
sion on Monday when there are
two regular network boxing shows.
The bout will not be seen on
home TV although it will be car
rieJ ffn network radio ABC. Sixty
one theaters in 45 cities will be
hooked up on theater TV with
capacity of about 200,000 people.
At $1 a head for the promoters
and fighters plus $35,000 for radio,
this should swell the fight gate
close to $700,000. Marciano gets 40
per cent and Charles 20 per cent
of the gate and theater - TV re
ceipts. The weather bureau said the out
look was for warm, humid weather
with a chance of late afternoon
and evening thunderstorms on
fight night.
It was sticky Tuesday with high
humidity as the two boxers fin
ished work at their training camps
in the Catskill Mountains.
Braves Edge
Dodgers 7-6
Cleveland Wins 6th
As Nats Fall 9-3
NEW YORK (fl - The' New
York Giants took over sole pos
session of first place in the Na
tional League Tuesday night for
the first time this season.
Hank Thompson homered into
the right field stands with two on
and two out in the last of the
ninth, giving the Giants a 5-3 vic
tory over Cincinnati.
The Brooklyn Dodgers, who had
been tied with the Giants, fell one
game behind by losing 7-6 to the
Milwaukee Braves. The Braves
took over third place as Philadelph
ia bowed to the St. Louis Cardin
als 3-1. Pittsburgh and Chicago in
the National League weren't shced
uled. The Giants had led 1-0 and 2-1 but
appeared doomed to a 3-2 Joss as
Harry Perkowski sailed into the
ninth with a one run lead and the
light hitters due up.
But he walked the first man up
and after getting one out walked
another. Howie Judson came in to
get the second out and then lefty
Jackie Collum was brought on to
face the lefthanded Thompson. 'He
threw two balls before Thompson
found one he liked and lost it.
Milwaukee collected 14 hits in
winning its third straight this
season on Ebbets Field. Four
singles in the eighth produced the
(wo deciding runs. Duke Snider hit
his 14th home run for Brooklyn
with two aboard. Hank Aaron
homered for Milwaukee with one on
in the first. Gene Conley, the Rich
land, Wash., thin man, won his
fifth for the Braves.
Vic Raschi won his sixth game
for the Cardinals and scored one
of the runs as the Phillies lost
their fourth in a row. Raschi
singled and Rip Repulski followed
with a homer in the third. The
only Philadelphia run scored in
the first on two walks and a single
by Granny Hamner.
In the American League Cleve
land ran its winning streak to six
with a 9-3 victory over Washing
ton. Chicago fell three games be
hind by losing 11-4 to the revital
ized Philadelphia Athletics. New

Willamette River Salmon Catch Falls Off
Angler -catch of spring salmon
In the Willamette river in the
Portland area this year fell below
the catch for 1953. Records show
that approximately 11,500 fish
were taken this year, as compared
to the record catch of 16.000
"Kings" last year.
Fisheries biologists for the game
and fish commissions had antici
pated this, since the parent run
of fish in 1949 was one of the
smaller runs in recent years. The
escapement of fish past the an
glers and on up the river in 1949
was calculated to be slightly over
,000 fish. This year's escape
ment increased by a scant 800.
These statistics are gathered
through a cooperative study being
carried on by the game and fish
commissions. Boat counts on the
river are obtained by flying a
course from the falls at Oregon
City to the mouth of the Willam
ette and along the 'Multnomah
channel to St. Helens. These aer
ial counts are coupled with infor
mation gathered from cooperating
moorage owners and catch inven
tories to arrive at the final fig
ures. One unsual fact ascertained from
the 1954 survey was the equal
listribution of anglers in both the
lower and upper river areas. Gen
erally, the catch in the lovfer river
surpasses that in the area above
Portland by about one-third, but
this year the take in the- two
areas was almost equal.
Also, it was found that there
were a record number of anglers
seeking the chinooks, the time
spent totaling 104,057 angler-days.
With the information being gath
ered in this project: the trend of
chinook salmon populations in the
Willamefte river can be de
termined and management prac-
tices placed into effect that will
I benefit the fishery.
