(Aasoclated Press Photos) LUSTY SCISSORS By Ernest Rostel Body scissors proved too much for Pete Belcastro, Sacramento grappler, In last night's match at the armory with Les Wolfe of Texas. Beloaatro lost the fall In 45 minutes, after a futile struggle to break the torturing scissors and was unable to come back. Ray Friable, local pride, took two out of three falls from Leo Milo, Pasa dena mat artist, aon of Fred Morten sen, former local wrestler. Choice bits of roughness enlivened Belcastro's tussle, which at times also Involved the referee, hard pressed to separate the men when ropes Interfered with wrestling. However, ropes did not always cause Wolfe concern when the handsome Italian was on the other side. He pulled him over or through to slam him to the mat with resounding bangs. A beautifully applied leg split had Belcastro gasping for several min utes before he was able to place a series of wrlstlooks on his opponent whose grimaces Indicated discomfort. Referee Frank Clemens warned the hone crushers on unnecessary rough ness, several times, bringing retorts from the . determined Belacastro, whose feelings were hurt a week ago when his match with Wolfe ended ln a draw. Giving Friable nearly 30 pounds, Leo Milo displayed Interesting mat skill; He lost the first fall to Frlsble i ln 10 minutes In a painful toe hold, but came back and took the second fall ln less than five minutes with a Japanese wrist lock. After giving Frlsble a good working over, Milo again fell victim to a toe hold and lost the fall ln ten minutes. When Milo was ln Medford six years- ago with his father, he took part In exhibition tussles, but since that time he has developed from a light M -year-old boy ln a 180 pound wrestler, and expects to increase his weight to 200 before the summer is over. Recognized ss one of the leading women wrestlers ln the world, Claire Mort risen, still ln her 'teens, was In troduced from the ring by her father. Fred Mor tense n, and gave a short ex hibition of her prowess. The young woman has wrestled nearly 300 matches, taking on all comers of her own weight, and has won over 00 per cent of the tussles. She Is leav ing ln June for a general tour of Europe, making her first stop ln Ma drid, where quite a number of wom en are taking up the mat game seriously. She la also well remembered by local fans who used to see her In local rings with her brother, Milo. She wrestles a young sailor In Klam ath Falls next Friday evening, and Is looking forward to meeting some young fellow of her own weight, 136 pounds, here ln April, Anything But That A Raesler Might Lose His Title, Home, Honor But Try To Pry Him Loose From His Belt. Hy Edward J. Nell, Jr. (Associated Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK (AP) The history of heavyweight championship belts ln the wrlstling business Is a story any other Industry would revel in ln these times everything coming ln and nothing going out. Titleholders have come and gone, sometimes ln great profusion and confusion, but the chsmptonshlp belts they acquired at the top never left them. Top honors they might lose; never their symbols of past glories. Probably the most famous of these belts was the diamond-studded em blem Strangler Ed Lewis received from his manager, Billy Sandow, and a group of friends when he waa champion, when wrestling followed an easy care f fee way, commissions weren't continually making new title holders, and cliques did not fight each other to the death. New School of Thought But ln 1933 there came suddenly upon this placid business a new school of thought. Wayne Munn. the giant Nebraskan, wrestled Lewis ln what was considered another ln the ordinary run of title bouts. Instead of the normal, however, Munn went beserk, hurled Lewis from the prem ises, and won himself championship recognition. Despite tremendous arguments, Lewis never relinquished his belt, and as far as anyone knows he still pos sesses It. His precedent has been fol lowed by all other heavyweight champions. They might lose their title claims and frankly admit the fact. But giving up the belt was an other thing. Starting 'way back, Frank Ootch and his great European rival, Hack-" enachmidt, never owned belts. The fashion waa founded when a group of friends presented Charley Cutler with a modest waist line adornment ln 1010. The Kiddles Contribute The friends of Joe Stecher, the scissors king who succeeded Cutler, advanced the custom several notches. A fund was raised from the penny subscriptions of the school children of Nebraska, and ln 1010 the governor of the state presented the belt to Joe on the steps of the capltol In Lincoln amid proper pomp and ceremony. Tex Rlckard added another touch by establishing a heavyweight cham pionship wrestling belt which he presented to Stanislaus Zbyszko. the elder, In 1015, a beautiful emblem with a huge buckle In front adorned with diamonds. Zbyszko promptly took the belt to Europe, placed It In a a vault, and always was forgetting to bring It back, even after he lost his title claims. Shlkat's Hard Luck Then Jack Curley appeared as the Emir of the wrestling herds. Shortly thereafter he needed a belt for Wladek Zbyszko, younger brother of the old champion, so he bought an other. Dick 8 h lk at ascended the title throne ln 1030 after Interest had dulled among the heavyweights and won himself a belt for beating Lon dos In the final of an elimination title tournament in Philadelphia. He held his belt a shorter time than any other champion. Getting off a train ln Chicago the next day, he climbed Into a taxlcab and when he climbed out again he left the belt behind htm. It never waa recovered or re placed. Londos' Most Ornate New heights ln ceremony were reached ln 1030 when- Londos took the title from Shlkat and was re warded with a formal dinner, given by Curley ln New York. In the mid dle of the meal two waiters appeared with a flag-draped tray upon which reposed Londos' new belt. It was the most ornate of them all, costing Curley some $3000. Despite the various claims, Jim Browning is most generally recog nized today as heavyweight cham pion and he too has a belt Curley gave him. In fact they all have them but Shikat. Carelessness alone cost him his emblem. FOXX HOLDS OUT WHEN WAGE CUT MIAMI, Pla., Feb. 8, (AP) Hav ing rejected a proffered 1034 con tract, calling for a substantial sal ary cut, Jimmy Foxx, home run king of the big leagues, today said he would sit "Ight" while awaiting fur ther word from Connie Mack, man ager of the Philadelphia Athletics. "I have not made any plans with reference to seeing Connie Mack about the contract and the big salary cut," said Foxx, now spending a win ter vacation here, "but I will be glad to talk with him, however. I be lieve such an Invitation should come from Manager Mack." "My three year contract, which expired last fall, was 950,000 for the three years," said the big league slugger, "Now, Vie Phtladelphln bosses mall me a contract oalltng for more than a 30 per cent cut, de spite my hitting that led the league, and I believe that unfair." The county court, at Its regular session yesterday, considered eight bids from local concerns for furnish ing ill tires and tubes for trucks and an toe of Jackson county, from February 1 to December 81 next. Montgomery Ward A OoM was the low bidder. There will be no formal awarding of the contract until next week, giving the county engineer an opportunity to study the conditions. The bids ranged from 93000 to 93600. The bids are for truck tires, heavy tires, light tires and Inner tubing, i Eckhardt Signs Again With Reds SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8.

New Location "Nat" Building North Riverside 'IRON-HANDED' GRAPPLER LAYS CANTONWINE COLD PORTLAND, Feb. 8. 0P At last something has turned up in a wres tling match here which on the sur face did not appear quite all right to the boxing commission, or at least Its secretary. Sheet metal taped to the hand of Tod Cox, 220, Lodl, cI. and used decisively against Howard Can ton wine, 230, Des Moines, Iowa, caused purses on their bout here last night to be held up. Secretary James Carroll of the boxing commission ordered that action and said the commission would consider the situation today. After the wrestlers divided falls. Cox left the ring moaning about a bruised hand, and returned with It neatly taped. Seemingly light blows from that hand finished the bout ln his favor in short manner. Referee Verne Harrington would not alter the decision, however when the metal was discovered after a post-bout bat tle, Interrupted by bluecosts. Jack Kogut, 108, Montreal, didn't come back for more when Ted Thyo, 200, Portland, catapulted him to the floor on his head.

MARSHAL LOCAL BOURBONS A cold shiver now prevails In southern Oregon Democratic circles, due to the report that there win be no appointment of a deputy United States marshal from the southern Oregon district. Appointments have been made for the Coos county and the Marion county districts, and ru mor hath It that the work for this section will be performed alternately by them. The southern Oregon Dem ocracy Is hurt by this prospect, in asmuch as they yelled as loud and worked as hard for the administra tion as anybody. They do not relish the Idea of being singled out for economy. There are ten or twelve candidates for the deputyshlp from Klamath. Josephine and this county, and all claim to have "promises" of appoint ment. The Inability to make one post fit ln nine Is also given as a reason for the slight for this section. Southern Oregon heretofore has al ways had a deputy United States marshal. Cal C. Wells, Incumbent, who ex pected to be relieved February 1, Is still on the Job. John T. Summer vllle, former local barber and coun cilman, whose appointment to the place was approved by the senate, has not assumed the office as yep. Sentenced to Jnll Nelson Cannon. 20, a native Oregonlan. was sentenced to five days ln Jail, when he entered a guilty plea In city court today to charges of being drunk on the street.
