Suarez Is Victor On Delayed Blow 0 Portland, Ore., March 17 (in It wasn't because Cecil Hudson was billed from Los Angeles and Johnny Suaro. from Portland that the crowd last night was on the side of the local scrapper. The fans were sore because, billed only 5 pounds heavier, the Los An geles negro appeared from ring side to have at least a 20-pnund iiuvuiii iiki- uvn uu- .nr-vn.ini n. - pounder. - ...... ni.i-l...... t.io And when Hudson felled Suarez With a foul blow in the eighth round, the crowd really got sore and swarmed to the ropes while several policemen elbowed into the irate fans to keep order while the match was awarded to Suarez. From the very first it looked luid for Suarez as Hudson drew blood early with a swift, nasty left. Out reached anil outweighed, the Mexican appeared not to have a chance to go the ten rounds. And Hudson behaved as If he'd finish this hoy off any time now. i Snare. Wins ! But as the rounds wore on and Huaroz, who formerly fought In Los Angeles before coming here. began to look better and better, Hudson grew 111 tempered. His air of disdain faded to one of perplex , ity as the lighter man evaded his haymakers. Finally, in the eighth, when the boxers were breaking,. Hudson let fly with a right while Johnny's hands were down. As soon as Suarez recovered consciousness, he was awarded the match..

But when It does, there will be weeping among widow Tokle and her poor neigh bors at the foot of Blornliebakken where little Torger Tokle used to slide on barrel staves. The U. S. war department an nounced yesterday that TSgt. Torger Tokle had been killed in action in Italy on March 3. He was struck by exploding shell frag ments while leading his Infantry platoon in an attack against' the Germans In the high .Apennlne mountains. He would have been 26 on March 1; . The village pf Lokken Verk will mourn Sergeant Tokle's death, be cause the amiable, sanoy-nuirea lad became the most famous man In history of the f jell (mountain) country. He became one of the greatest ski jumpers of all time perhaps the greatest. In 1938 before the Germans came tor ger went to the United States, became a citizen and on March 1, 1942. established a new North American jumping record of 289 feet almost the length oi a loot ball field. If Tokle could have, had his way, this record never would have been made. He wanted to fight the Germans for his adopted land and for his nutive land. No quisling was ho. Despite his almost tearful pro tests, he was rejected for army service In January, '42, because of a defect In his. teeth result In This Corner Ity Mickey Myrlck Elimination of the positive Med ford Tigers ' from state tourna ment competition last night by the heretofore somewhat negative Oregon City Pioneers seems to make touiney honors rather an affirmative cinch for Washington high hoopsters.

This rejection did not stop him. Between ski meets, he worked overtime as a carpenter In Brook lyn and earned enough money to have his teeth fixed. One of the happiest days of his life was Oct. 1, 1942. On that day he finally passed his physical ex amination at Governors Island, N. Y., and was inducted for the army. Eager Torger waived the usual 14 -day furlough granted inductees, and left New York im mediately to join a mountain in fantry regiment at Fort Lewis, Wash. He wanted action. The dispatches do not say whether Torger was on skis when killed. But unquestionably he would have preferred it that way, because he loved the long, grooved hickories that took him soaring through the air like wings. It seemed that he was made for skis from the time his father first put him on barrel staves, at the age of three, in Lokken' Verft' At six, he-was competing on pine skis on 40 -meter hills: and at eight; he was out -jumping all youngsters of his area on 60 meter courses. Not until he was 13, did he get a coveted pair of hickories. Then he began knock ing off prizes with regularity, until he came to the United States at 19. In four winters of competition In the United States, before Join ing the ski troops, he cracked 24 hill records while winning 42 of 48 tournaments. He was a dar ing performer, who featured a terrific spring from the lumping platform. Because he Jumped so hard and so far, he usually kept his skis wider apart than most jumpers in order to case his landing. Others had better form but none his power and daring. Local sportsmen are consider ing the idea of building traps to eliminate the predators. If trial traps work effectively more will be built and distributed in the hatching area, wherever farmers can be found who are willing to operate them and dispose of the trapped birds. We bought a dog license yester day, and though the compliment cost a dollar we got our name on it, while all Skipper got was the tag. But that tag will be little conso lation to him when, April first, he'll lose bis liberty. Skipper loves to visit downtown, where al most everyone Is his friend, and that chain is going to hurt his 'pride Cougars Victors In Oregon Game Eugene. Ore..

Running Swede Favored to Win Chicago, March 17 1P Gunder Hagg, Sweden's feather - footed running champ, goes to the post as a slight favorite tonight in the bankers mile, featured attraction of the ninth annual Chicago re lays at the Chicago stadium. ; The gaunt Swedish star reports that the leg weariness which handicapped him in two previous eastern races had vanished. He said he was prepared to lead the bankers mile five-maen field a merry chase around the 11 laps-to-a-miie oval. The fact that Hagg, holder of six world titles, has regained most of his famed floating power is enough to place him in the fa vorite's role as he bids for his first victory of the American indoor season. And that even takes into consideration that Jimmy Raffer- ty, the American king who is un defeated in six major indoor races' this season, will be challenging Hagg on St. Patrick's, a day when Irishmen are tough to beat. Track experts, who have seen the skinny Swedish shadow under full steam, believe Hagg w'ill hand Rafferty his first defeat which does not mean exceptionally good time since Rafferty's best mark has been a 4:13.1 this sea son.
