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

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.

NO U. S. 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.
City officers arrested him early this
morning.
